Fuck. Rest in peace, Looney. apnews.com/article/davi...

Seems like a pretty important detail

NOAA returns/produces so much more money to the American economy than it costs, no stories about any of this should allow them the absolutely bullshit "savings" framing

A lot of people are going to die from this

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

Remember, BUY NOTHING tomorrow.

We have lost one of the true giants of the screen. Gene Hackman could play anyone, and you could feel a whole life behind it. He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was. He will be missed, but his work will live on forever.

RIP Gene Hackman - One of the most influential screen actors ever. There was nothing he couldn’t do. His work was searingly truthful and often brutally honest -he never let you off the hook . Not afraid of ambiguity- a lost quality these days . Lucky & grateful to have share screen with him.

My god. Can Mexico provide our flu shots? Canada? Maybe our state governments?

I am mystified as to why so many people are still using Xitter. Fuck that fascist.

These imbeciles are going to get so many people killed. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

This is so spot in. WaPo. The Times. Hell...the CBS Evening News. Not to mention the separation of powers, and the rule of law.

Guys like Elon and Bezos probably grew up wanting to be Batman not for his making Gotham better, but for his being so wealthy that he could spend his free time beating up on people poorer than him while looking like a hero.

I wonder how David Shipley feels about ruining his reputation during the campaign, playing his role in helping the oligarchs come to power, only to find out that there is a depth he won’t sink to, and Bezos made up the ground in a couple of months.

So...they "intuitively" know there is "massive" fraud in Medicaid, but don't want tax-dodging billionaires to pay their fair share...unbelievable.

Jane Fonda is an icon for a reason. Total badass. Her SAG Lifetime Achievement speech is a must-watch.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

There’s something happening in this country.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

So much ketamine. Take another hit Elon.

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Jfc.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

this is a true sentence: d-tier comedian turned right wing podcast king becomes chief propagandist for illegal attempt to acquire canada.

Accidentally fired the guys running the nuclear program. Accidentally fired experienced air traffic controllers. Accidentlly fired the people trying to contain the bird flu.... Accidentally fired...

...says an unelected bureaucrat. Unbelievable.

What the fuck?

Day 5 of Flu A. There are only a couple of people on whom I would wish this misery.

Exactly!

Wow. True.

I can't believe that the former head of the RNC is the guy that is bringing the righteous anger right now. He's right.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

I have probably forgotten to play in half of these, but I remembered today, lol. Literally, the last man in for the Final.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

Yeah...go ahead and try to take Canada, dipshit. I have never seen anything like the start of this USA-Canada game.

He who violates every law, is not saving the country.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

It’s a bummer that “Americanism” is often accompanied by anti-intellectualism. Bummer how ignorance is a source of pride in the US.

But her emails

Symbology much?
