This is a hell of a way to tell J.D. to get off his couch.

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.

There oughta be a moonlight savings time… 🌛⏰

On this week’s #leshow, what Elon and DJT share— a mean father. Plus, “I Put The If In Tariff”. First airing, Sun 10a PT/ 1p ET, kalw.org, wamc.org, wcbe.org. Throughout the day on select pub radio stations. +podcast!

"The leaders refused to succumb to the efforts of Mr. Marocco & the [DOGE] team, overseen by Elon Musk, to assume control of their functions, dismiss staff members and install Mr. Marocco as the acting leader." HE CANNOT BE AN ACTING LEADER. NO STATUTE PERMITS IT. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

A social security number given a birth… makes one a birthright citizen… requiring parents to come to an office is an intimidation tactic

The Trump admin canceled contracts with Maine's CDC supporting "enumeration at birth" -- the way 99% of American babies get their Social Security Numbers. Now Maine parents have to visit field offices in-person to get their newborn SSNs Why? No reason given. www.huffpost.com/entry/maine-...

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

I know it's small print, but please read it. I use this storyline to answer an 8-year-old's questions. And he got it.

Here's the history on how America took Ukraine's nuclear weapons. In exchange, we promised to protect them from Russia. It is why the World can no longer trust us. In breaking the Budapest Memorandum agreement we also tried to take their minerals! And we laughed & mocked how their President dresses.

I’m going to leave this right here. Also, Joe, thank you.

I learned about this library from @thisamericanlife.org

Watch free Doctor Who series from rom 1963 through 1989

what do you think would happen if someone elected to political office turned out to be an idiot

It’s only been a month

A lot of people thought things would get this bad. But I don’t think anyone expected it would be this stupid

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

Good morning, it’s Saturday March 1st 2025! A new month, already. Crikey. (Released this very day in 1941, a mere 84 yrs ago, Sub-Mariner Comics # 1, with its cover by Alex Schomburg showing Prince Namor repelling a Nazi invasion of Britain. Which was awfully good of him.)

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

The future of the Department of Education—and of the students with disabilities who depend on it—will likely hinge on the world views of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two billionaires who abhor what they perceive as weakness and waste.

I am starting to think DOGE has a N. I.C.E. ring to it all of a sudden. Photo completely unrelated, probably.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

THREAD: House GOP wants to ram through a budget package tomorrow, gutting Medicaid to cut taxes for billionaires. Seniors in hospice, disabled children, and workers without employee insurance all get screwed. These 15 RED districts will suffer the most:
