Heroes.

This is so good. www.reddit.com/r/DailyShow/...

Good points here.

These attorney resignation letters aren’t going to make a difference in the short run, but they are inspiring. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

Hero. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Every day I’m gonna search the news for somebody who is actually standing up to the bullshit. We need more like Phyllis Fong, and this guy. www.reddit.com/r/ChicagoSub...

This is a hair-on-fire situation (gift link) Musk allies (not official government employees, apparently) seek access to "the sensitive systems control the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to households, businesses and more nationwide." wapo.st/4jH7XYa

One of the most demoralizing things about our current situation is (as my friend put it) the Orbán-ification of the American media.

Kansas faces one of the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in US history

This is how its done. prez.ly/4Rcd

A USAID HR director sent out this email today to staff letting them know he was placed on administrative leave. “Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees.”

Just when you think he can’t go any lower ….this is obscene. Trump blames Potomac crash on “DEI” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump. At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.

Wow. Episcopalian minister speaking some truths to the smug and powerful Worth watching to the end. www.reddit.com/r/thebulwark...

Cool. What could go wrong? 😬

Maybe it’s time to talk about better mental health care for our military veterans?

Costco is pushing back - hard - against the anti-DEI movement. edition.cnn.com/2024/12/27/b...

And Trump thought this guy would’ve made a fine Atty General. What could go wrong? Gaetz paid thousands for sex and drugs, includinga 17-yo, House report shows apple.news/AyxvqJaiRT_6...

I’ve been taking a break from political stuff but can’t WAIT to listen to this in its ENTIRETY🔥

This is a deeply researched article showing the web of conservative foundations and think tanks supporting efforts like UNC’s “civic life” school. Basically, if you study U.S. history through a conservative lens, there’s money out there for you. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

What? Why?!

Amazing story on how billionaires avoid paying taxes. Imagine if these attorneys could put their efforts toward, say, protecting the climate or something…https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/business/nvidia-jensen-huang-estate-taxes.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls for reversal Anthem Healthcare to immediately reverse its “unprecedented move” to no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes.

Good grief. Pete Hegseth’s mother laments that he’s “an abuser of women.” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

Why are they bothering?

As disgusting as it is, being abused by Nancy Mace is probably a good thing for @SarahEMcBride’s profile. Now everyone knows what a dignified and committed person and public servant she is. As for Mace, just check out her ex-comms director @nataliejohnson.bsky.social 's feed if you’re curious ...

“Overreach” = treating customers fairly

They should take a straw poll of women working in the Capitol and ask if they feel safer around Sarah McBride or Matt Gaetz.

Ha, what will MAGA do to gin it up when in control of House, Senate, presidency and SCOTUS? They’ll need to do better than this…

What’s with JD Vance’s eyeliner?

Wait, what?

very excited for Kate on this new chapter of her life

About 25 minute audio cast from @gregsargent.bsky.social. Really interesting discussion with Tom Souzzi’s chief pollster on dynamics of election and electorate from Tuesday. “We believe Souzzi got about 90% Dems and 15% Republicans.” Great breakdown throughout with interesting implications.

Kind of crazy that Chris Christie‘s big announcement that he will end his campaign is upstaged by the hot mike comments about his competitors. 🔥🔥🔥

Biden isn't in an ideal position heading into 2024. But on the economy, he's in great shape, and really doesn't get the credit he deserves when one considers the shambles he inherited in January 2021.

This guy is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Some encouraging progress for media literacy in Taiwan. Maybe they could teach us. 😏 www.nytimes.com/2023/11/26/b...

No! I Can’t Go for That…
