When you see RFK Junior in the news, I want you to remember the cults hate medical care. Always. They hate medical care even when it impacts their operations. Because the cult always cares more about control than about successful operations.

You know, the rest of the White House Press Corps could collectively decide to not attend briefings, pressers, or pools until their AP colleagues are reinstated with access, but that would take a modicum of courage and integrity in this moment, wouldn't it?

The fact that we’re all still expected to go to work, and pretend like our country isn’t burning on a daily basis would be comical if it wasn’t so outrageous

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

One thing I have learned over the last few weeks is how many formal departments and hard working feds were quietly protecting me from getting ripped off, diseased, environmentally poisoned, or otherwise trashed by forces that would happily do it if it made them a few cents richer.

so i don’t know if susan collins knows this but she belongs to a body that has the constitutionally designated power to tell HHS to stop making these cuts because they do not have the authority to unilaterally refuse to spend congressional appropriations.

The fire hydrant of awfulness is supposed to overwhelm us and it’s working. But all I can think of is that it would somehow be worse if we weren’t overwhelmed & furious &full of grief. If we felt nothing. I have to hope that’s like a single goddamn point in our favor. Our humanity is at least intact

I am a proud Democrat, but I will not hold our leadership to an embarrassingly low standard because we're in the same party. The GOP may have a majority in Congress, but they do not control the voices of our leadership. There is simply no excuse for tepid and weak messaging in this moment. None.

i am constantly hearing that the left is elitist but if it is elitism to stand up for basic values of citizenship and decency against a bunch of cruel dumbasses who have no greater ambition than to tell bad jokes and hear the braying laughter of their dumbass friends, then i am an elitist

Would it kill ONE of these authors not to hoard these revelations until it's too late? Not that this would have moved the needle, but like we're going to find out he ate a kitten in a hot dog bun, just not until 2026

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.
