Not to be glib, but I am often reminded of an old Simpsons Halloween episode where giant retail mascots start terrorizing Springfield. To stop them, you have to stop giving them attention. “Just don’t look”. Of course we stay vigilant and informed, but don’t keep insanity in the news cycle.

Holy crap. NSF’s FY26 president’s budget justification is an absolute bloodbath. Almost complete decimation. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

North Carolina, get thee to Raleigh!

So basically, to “honor” girls in sports is to give them “participation ribbons” which is what the right/boomers continuously complain about. Falling back 60 years and giving little Suzy a pat on the head for trying.

Would it be at all effective if there were volunteers who escorted immigrants to/from the court, surrounding them? Like we’ve done at reproductive health clinics?

One of these things is not like the others………

Trump's FEMA has denied North Carolina's request for FEMA to honor a Biden-era commitment to pay for 100% of debris removal costs related to Hurricane Helene.

FEMA just denied North Carolina’s request for more federal help after Tropical Storm Helene. The state asked for 180 extra days of full cost coverage—FEMA said no.

I know this is not the headline but “Thank your for your…” 😒

Honestly, good advice.

The last 4 months have shown who is emerging as fighters and who should take a seat. In the House @repmcgovern.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @maxwellfrost.bsky.social @repstansbury.bsky.social have been loud, smart, eloquent, and PASSIONATE!

Hold up- Rev Barber was arrested for praying in a public space but Pete Hegseth is allowed to hold a Christian prayer service at DOD with his personal pastor from this church:

Good God. Virginia Foxx needs to go the way of the dodo

So a wrap-up from today’s hearings: Lee (IRS)- doesn’t know what the law is re: pressure to change tax status Noem (DHS)- doesn’t know what habeas corpus actually is Rubio (DoS)- didn’t know about the Trump dinner RFK Jr (HHS)- doesn’t know which grants have been cut
