Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

West Point grads got some rambling advice today on selecting a trophy wife after their second divorce from a draft dodger in a red campaign hat before he hauled ass to play golf.

The orange felon’s vendetta against Harvard in just one photo.

That’s why you’re still here.

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

All hat, no cattle.

Even North Korea is like, "Whoa, whoa, easy, this is gross."

stealing like meme from my hellsite replies because lmao

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

“Kimmel rolled a super cut of Hegseth using the word ‘leakers’ repeatedly, ending with him saying, ‘I don’t have time for leakers.’ “‘You don’t have time for leakers?’ Kimmel repeated in disbelief. ‘You are the leaker!’”

Referring to this freak show of sycophants, incompetents and grifters as an “administration” just doesn’t feel quite right.

And there it is. Trump comes out in favor of codifying Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and blames Zelenskyy for Putin’s aggression.

The problem is that those of us who believe in the Constitution and the Rule of Law keep expecting the bad guys to play by the rules and act with honor. That ain’t happening, folks.

In case you hadn't noticed:

Play list for Trump devotees should include: “If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don’t Want to Be Right,” “Rather Lie,”“Reckless,” and “Love the Way You Lie.” What else?

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

One more incredibly creative protester ... #HandsOff #SaveOurDemocracy #LFG

Senator Chris Van Hollen is on his way to El Salvador to discuss bringing Kilmar Abrgeo Garcia back home.

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

This is the worst, weakest, weirdest administration in American history. And yes, that includes William Henry Harrison, who died after only 30 days in office. EVEN HE had a more effective administration.

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

The cruelty is a feature, not a bug. 🐛

I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings. Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.

This will not end well. He’s a domestic terrorist.

We need more honesty and courage like this to break the spell—urgently. “I’m going to say this at risk of my job,” reporter Steve Liesman said on CNBC. “But what President Trump is doing is insane. It is absolutely insane. It is about the eighth reason we’ve had for the tariffs.”

Check this out — American stocks were on par with global stocks up until late January — and have now dropped terribly since then Gosh I wonder what happened in late January?

contemplating a book cull and i found a place in nyc that exchanges your book donations for pickles. and i think that's beautiful

Who could possibly have predicted that tariffs on Canada wouldn’t be good for US consumers?

Looks like Elon Musk or his puppet Donald (aka POTUS) has told the Founding Fathers “You’re All FIRED!”

A trifecta.

How about these epically low egg prices!
