The big thing you need to take from Biden’s diagnosis is that you need to encourage the (older) men in your life to get regular PSA tests and that prostate cancer is not an inevitability, it is not inherently slow-growing, and that there are MANY treatment options.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Understand this: if Medicaid, Medicare, and/or SNAP benefits are cut, Americans will die as a result. It’s policy violence.

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

This is the moment I was invited into Delaney Hall. Nobody was kicking or shoving like the coverage suggests. We were invited in.

New: “This is not a man who respects the rule of law, nor one who seeks to understand it.” Judge Luttig’s new piece on President Trump and “The End of Rule of Law in America” @judgeluttig.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You know I have to wonder about those polls talking about how unpopular Democrats are considering we are literally over performing in virtually every election by 20+ points

WHO DID THIS?!?!

Update: Rebecca Black, the opener, is like watching Alexis Rose and her hit single “a little bit Alexis”

Something is up at @tmobilecenter in KC. Doors haven’t opened to the Katy Perry show yet. Supposed to open at 5:30, opener at 7:00 and she’s on at 8:30. Tell me she’s not pulling a Queen Bey and going on at 10:00 pm….

Finally. My fellow Fulbright Scholar Rumeysa Ozturk has been freed. My country jailed her for over a month as—let’s be perfectly frank—a political prisoner. Why? Because she wrote a mild oped that criticised Israel in her student newspaper. I've thought of her every day.

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

Church bells rang and crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square cheered as white smoke billowed over the Vatican on Thursday evening, announcing that the conclave had elected a new pope. The world will learn their choice when he appears on a balcony overlooking the square. wapo.st/452zHRU

Timeline cleanse ✨🎭✨💙✨🎭✨ A comedian asked an audience member to come up on stage and tell a joke. This is so funny. 😂

This is how wars start. But with India and Pakistan it could be nuclear war. Both sides need to defuse this crisis before it's too late. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/w...

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard, now the US director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts including a personal Gmail account and Dropbox over a period of years, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!

"What they are trying to do to immigrants already, they are already doing to U.S. citizens." Watch the full video: youtu.be/zbSMcIDwdmg

To the Republicans on the judiciary committee that voted to allow Trump to deport U.S. citizens- you are literally violating the oath you took to support and defend the Constitution. You should all face impeachment and removal from office. To everyone else- This is not normal. Don’t look away.

Don't do it Paramount!!!

A set of chemicals found in food packaging, plastics, and lotions and shampoos has been linked to hundreds of thousands of deaths from heart disease, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal eBioMedicine.

Maga Cult Slayer “Staying quiet, that’s not an option anymore.” I will stand directly next to this man.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

This is one policy I’m on board with!

Learned something new and will be making this note for a few future shipping projects.

A true monument from my childhood sick days. May he RIP.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Letter: 250 years ago we declared independence from a king. Dear fellow patriots, why do you now kiss a king’s ring?

78 million people voted for that asshole just to ‘own the libs.’ Instead, he’s fleecing America—and dragging them down with him. Great job, folks.

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?” “That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

I wish people would learn by now that the GOP, MAGA and all of their sycophants cannot be shamed. There is no shaming them. They have no conscience. Jim Banks has no conscience. Don't waste time doing so. The sooner people realize this, the sooner real progress can be made.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).
