Can a billionaire please endow NPR and PBS with enough money so they don’t have to take any federal funding so I don’t have to hear another conservative talk about it ever again.

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

We need to go beyond calling on Dems to reject RFK and others (though I think Whitehouse may be on board--not sure abt Fetterman). We need to get better at assigning responsibility to Republicans when they confirm and the inevitable happens. You will be responsible for the dead children.

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind. abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The Trump administration is not setting the course for a four-year term. The Trump administration is setting the course for an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%. George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%. These numbers tell the whole story.

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center. How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down? How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies. Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

This is dumb. Did Trump's pardon of Charles Kushner include anyone else? Did his pardons of Roger Stone & Paul Manafort apply to his former lawyer Michael Cohen? Pardons apply only to the individual they are meant for &, in a properly functioning system, each is considered on its merits.

We’re not accepting complaints about the Hunter Biden pardon unless you also complained about the Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort pardons.

"Kamala didn't get to do Hot Ones. She should've done Rogan" is what we're talking about in 2024 when a plurality of American voters decided to elect a criminal sexual assaulter to the White House. This country is terminally self-destructive and ignorant.

Billionaires are bowing down. Media figures are bending a knee. Public figures want to accommodate. It is up to us to form a new opposition. We will not back down. We must not obey.

"In a closed-doors meeting last week, The Washington Post's leaders were briefed about efforts to win back subscribers who canceled in the wake of Endorsement-Gate." www.status.news/p/washington... How about an apology that is also a strong piece of writing. I bet it would help.

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system. He had help. It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms. Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court. 70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon. There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.
