I hate this timeline.

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Who had confidence in Trump’s ability to manage the economy? Who? I feel like I’ve got nuts.

HEY KID YOU WANT TO BE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

young men don’t need a “left Joe Rogan” they need sports betting regulation

Is it just me, or are the days when you start drinking at noon during holidays the best days?

Happy Easter!

When you've lost Ed Whelan—and can you possibly conceive of how hard it is for a conservative President to LOSE ED WHELAN—you are in bad shape indeed.

WATCH — @carolecadwalla.bsky.social : “The Russian and American presidents are now speaking the same words. Telling the same lies. We are watching the collapse of the international world order in real time… it is already later than we think.”

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

He is a union apprentice and raising three special needs kids, two of them from his wife's previous relationships so yes he is certainly in the running.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

“you don’t know them”

There are three types of Americans today. 1. Those who know this was mesmerizingly stupid, and will say so. 2. Those who know this was mesmerizingly stupid, and won't say so. 3. Those who are mesmerizingly stupid.

sure this sounds bad but remember this nation was founded on the principle of cheerfully tolerating large surtaxes on imported goods

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
