Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

What’s messing with me is how many people are not only willing to forgive Cuomo’s transgressions, but embrace them. It’s beyond name recognition at this point: there’s a level of self-hate and dystopia that’s unnerving. Crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious indeed.

Maybe we need US Senators who aren’t actually rooting for you to die.

If like me you’re in anguish about the unbearable conditions in Gaza, here’s one simple but powerful action Jews can take to send a strong message supporting food aid. It feels hard when no matter what we do, it keeps getting worse. It’s truly unspeakable. But we *must* keep acting & speaking out.

Yes! The US Government is a service - for the people. And many of these elected officials are failing us, daily.

In what universe is this an acceptable thing for an elected official to say? Do your job Ernst and protect your constituents. And if you don’t care about issues that are a life or death matter step down.

Can we just cancel every single Tech bro now? They aren’t geniuses. They aren’t dogooders. They don’t care about the good of society. They engage in destructive group think…

Elon Musk is such a perfect illustration of the fact that every billionaire is a policy failure and that billionaires should not be the drivers of public policy in this country. He’s also evil and should face consequences for his inhumane behavior.

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

Thank you to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for just telling the truth about #ElonMusk. The rest of the media should hang their heads in shame with the fawning, irrelevant pieces they ran yesterday. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Oh just the death of 300,000 children. We must speak about the abject inhumanity of this administration every single day.

The richest man in the world took actions that will kill thousands, perhaps millions, of children, and NYT relegated that point to the op-ed section.

3 guys, none with infectious disease or pedatric expertise, just ran roughshod over normal procedures to block COVID shots for kids, pregnant people. This is so awful & insane & we should treat it as such. Reporters, you're on notice. Both sides this at your peril & watch your credibitlity evaporate

I hate this administration with all of my being. They are going to deport this child and kill her. We should all be screaming about this.

I was taught in 2010 that the Supreme Court was apolitical and that entire concept has been laughable for at least a decade.

Bypassing the CDC and announcing it on X. What a clown. The kind of clown you see in horror movies. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
