🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

You can tell antivaxxers don’t actually care about children because a child died and these sickos are using it as an excuse to share juice recipes and promote their supplements. There’s more aluminum in a cup of carrot juice than in the two-dose MMR series. And carrot juice doesn’t prevent measles.

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

Very telling that there’s better coverage of this meltdown in Ukrainian language media than in the US press, whose traditional leaders were barred from the room by the White House and whose other representatives are under the influence of cringing billionaires.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Yes! I spoke with a student journalist about this issue of overcompliance/advance compliance this afternoon. And, important to recall that vagueness was one of the grounds used by Judge Abelson for blocking part of the anti-diversity EOs.

on the SNL 50 clips there was one where Mulaney said years ago at his audition (or somewhere idk) that “Trump is a poor person’s idea of a rich person” and that has been my guiding principle since this whole sh*tstorm started can add “Elon is a dumb person’s idea of a genius” to that too
