If WI voters allow Elon Musk to buy their court seat, he won’t stop here. Vote for Susan Crawford.

As it just keeps digging the country into a deeper hole.

Yeah!!!

A whooping 83% of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent J6 rioters. EIGHTY-THREE PERCENT!!!

“The CDC also noted 18 new pediatric flu deaths and said it "does not anticipate" posting any more updates on respiratory disease activity this season.” WTF? www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/us-...

YES!!!

I keep hoping things can’t get worse, and now…

You sent us to war on a lie, cut our health benefits, and voted against every veterans bill that has hit the floor. We are the 47% you refer to as the "takers." You don't give a f*ck about us

Postponing the ACIP meeting, stopping a CDC flu campaign and dissolving the Long COVID group. Bobby has been a busy little boy already. I’ll start following WHO and EU guidelines I guess. www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-healt...

And our FDA just managed to order vaccines for the chickens, more than half of which are already dead. WTF?

A good read and a reminder of what govt gives back to everyone. Even the bear lovers.

“[He] will be remembered as a formidable, brutally effective Senate leader. But depending on how the second Trump presidency goes, he may also be remembered as a leader who, for all his perceived strength, failed to stand up for democracy when it mattered most.” MAY? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

If you’re looking for something concrete you can do, give money to Susan Crawford in Wisconsin who is about to get hit with a ton of Musk Bucks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

This virus is now out and uncontrollable amongst mammals. It is time for purchasing the human vaccine available that both England and Canada have already bought. But we have Bobby the Clown in charge.

Vanity Fair reports that, in private Republicans are simply scared shitless and talking about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them and their families if they don’t go along with everything. 1/2

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This man is just spot on all the time.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Great advice. Don’t wear out. Read trashy novels, eat ice cream and take long walks. Then go back to the fight.

Scientists have long considered bird flu, a leading candidate for causing a human pandemic. Since 2003 the virus has infected at least 954 people around the world and killed at least 464 — an almost 50 percent mortality rate. And we’re firing public health workers. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...
