Happy Wednesday

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

BREAKING NEWS: The big ugly Republican bill includes $500 BILLION in cuts to Medicare, along with over $700 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid. They tried to hide in the dead of night, but the American people are watching!

Straight-up misogyny is the explanation for 2024 that accords best with the actual vote shifts. But for some reason if you mention it a ton of people rush out of the woodwork to go “no no no! it’s inflation and Harris’s policy choices! Which for some reason only men cared about!”

Dude on the phone at the car shop. “Man fuck AI. I don’t give a fuck. I’m not using it. We are going to destroy the whole earth with that shit.”

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Right now, Republicans are trying to pass a budget vote in the Rules Committee under the cover of night! Reps. @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social, @scanlon.house.gov, and @fernandez.house.gov spoke with protesters outside on the Capitol steps about Republicans’ plan to take a chainsaw to Medicaid.

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

BREAKING: FDA says covid boosters now only for those over 65 or with preconditions. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Graham is pathetic.

There's no need for spies anymore since there are phones.

It’s plain for all to see.

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

This part

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Welcome to the liquidation of American dominance in science

Tonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. The Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has spent her entire career serving people—from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero.

Your School House Rock moment......

Contrasted with NYT, here's a newspaper exercising responsible editorial judgment.

So many of you wrote to me about my appearance on 60 Minutes and offered such kind words of support. Thank you.🙏 I hope you read this, consider how you can speak out as well, and share with others. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

Tomorrow, a Council Committee will discuss a proposed set of regulations for where various types of solar panels can be built in Lexington. The gist: rooftop solar panels are fine everywhere, ground-mounted is fine everywhere (with some conditions) except farmland. civiclex.org/weekly-posts...

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

A Tennessee lender told legislators its new product, the Flex Loan, would help residents. In the 10 years since getting approval for it, the company has sued over 110,000 borrowers. via @tennesseelookout.com @propublica.org www.newsfromthestates.com/article/lend...

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Mark Hamill took him out with 7 words. SMITE!!!

I feel like more queer people need to know that the best thing in professional wrestling right now is a bisexual woman playing the role of a delusional 1950s moviestar who will shout "I am here and I am queer" on national TV

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."
