Pete Buttigeig hits the nail on the head. #USDemocracy

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Hey it looks like @alexdecampi.bsky.social is talking to the exact right person about the exact right things to maybe change things with this Boundless mess—if you’re involved at all, this is a great place to start.

The president's recent budget proposal calls for a 37% cut to #CancerResearch funding. If this proposal becomes law, it will have life-threatening consequences. That's why we're fighting back. Send a message to your members of Congress now urging them to reject these outrageous proposed cuts.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

I think this is actually real. Ernst sarcastically apologizes, makes fun of her constituents concerns, and is a complete ass. We MUST get people like her, who live for cruelty and mock people who are hanging on by a thread. The GOP is a sickness and we must be the cure.

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121

Don't miss Mr. USA.

Elon Musk has a favorite phrase when making bold promises: “Next year.” From Full Self Driving and Hyperloop to robotaxis and literal robot armies, we traced his timeline of big talk and missed marks—because in Elon’s world, hype usually outruns reality.

“The fear to speak. In America?” CBS’ Scott Pelley asked. “If our government is—in Lincoln’s words—‘of the people, by the people and for the people’—then why are we afraid to speak?” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-s...

I posted a screenshot of the headline yesterday. Here's the entire Borowitz Report: www.borowitzreport.com/p/man-feared...

President Trump pardoned a man sentenced for tax crimes after his mother went to a $1 million-per-plate dinner at Mar-a-Lago. His pardon application cited his mother’s support for the president, including raising millions of dollars and a connection to a plot to publicize a Biden family diary.
