Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Yes! The people defending this as trolling don’t understand what trolling is. “Libs will get offended by ANYTHING these days” only works if the thing you’re doing isn’t offensive!

I don’t know anyone who thinks of federal employees as villains (maybe b/c I hang out with decent human beings?) I appreciate all the ways that federal employees work to make my life safer, happier and healthier - including all my colleagues working for the VA and DoD / DHA ❤️

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

here’s my take as a linguist specializing in interpreting indirect language use: nazi symbols and gestures are a declaration of intent to commit violence and can therefore reasonably be responded to with the actions appropriate to one’s bodily safety being threatened.

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

East coast literary friendos, I’ve got a batch of brilliant, recently-published authors (2023/2024) looking for places to read and panel. I’ve got fiction writers, memoirists, and poets. Who’s got a venue and an open evening? Let’s make this happen. I’ll also bring banana bread.

Daily reminder that Trump created DOGE. It never existed before Trump. It wasn’t a thing. He made it all up. So anything DOGE does, Trump is responsible for. DOGE is Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

"Following a loud public outcry, and relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts, the Trump administration has reversed course on a plan to eliminate thousands of seasonal workers at the National Parks Service." Upshot: pushing back works. Keep at it.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”
