This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social I enjoyed the conversation with Jordan Klepper on tonight’s show but think there is a key element of the conversation missing and that has to do with social media algorithms and filter bubbles

I’ve never been a big fan of TSA. However, I fully support TSOs being paid on the General Scale and I support them having a Collective Bargaining Agreement. Going back to privatized airport security is not the answer.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

Listen I save “I told you so” exclusively for my sister but in this case I don’t even need to say it because they told you so themselves. They told everyone this was the plan during the campaign. I’m so sick of hearing Trump voters didn’t vote for this. This is exactly what they voted for.

This is injecting bleach for the entire global economy. And he's not just floating the idea: he's holding the syringe.

“The IDF investigation proved "how important a state commission of inquiry is. We need it to save ourselves from ourselves. With an investigation like that, I don't know how the State of Israel still exists," said Abir.”

“We need a greater love in this country. We need a greater fight in this country.”

“I’m nerdy enough to have a favorite Federalist Paper.” - @booker.senate.gov, winning my heart

Assigning Sen. Thurmond’s “longest filibuster” of the Civil Rights Act to the dustbin of history is a powerful part of the story. Because no matter what, that’s where they’re all going, no matter how hard they fight it. Men who fight the future are the most foolish of all men.

If you don’t see what a dark time this has become for women in America and how it’s going to get much worse, you need to open your eyes.

A now @booker.senate.gov is reading from The Federalist Paper 💗 “I'm trying to savor the Capra-esque quality” of this moment. #HoldTheFloor

Thank you @booker.senate.gov! That’s the post. #DemVoice1

Authoritarians depend on you obeying in advance and not resisting. Every act of disruption weakens them and slows down their plan. It's a crack. The cracks add up. This is why what Cory Booker is doing is important compared to the weak complicity of Schumer and others.

Ran into some folks showing support for Senator Booker this afternoon. Let me tell you, I know a thing or two about preaching and I couldn't agree more. @booker.senate.gov is praying with his lips and his legs!

Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov is holding the floor protesting Trump & Musk’s policies. Where are you?

“You can’t lead the people if you can’t love the people” @booker.senate.gov

Demanding Democrats do more to meet the current political moment should be a call to use ALL the tools in the toolbox. @booker.senate.gov is doing just that. #HoldTheFloor

I’ve tried not to dwell on the tragic failures that could have saved us from this nightmare. But Merrick Garland’s failure to confront and hold Trump accountable is among the worst.

Teen Vogue FTW. They’ve been killing it lately. @schumer.senate.gov if you really truly cared about the country over the party, you’d step down as minority leader.

Time to speak up

Watching Sen. Booker #HoldTheFloor

senate floor right now... senator cory booker www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

NOW: Sen. Cory Booker is speaking on the Senate floor and said he intends to hold the floor for as long as he is "physically able" to do so.

As always, Timothy Snyder makes sense, and I learned more than I expected to. Signalgate: violating national security open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Thou shalt not snatch people off the streets for their opinions.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

I never imagined that the most dangerous moment in America's democracy would also be its stupidest.

BUT HER EMAILS

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Every time I have heard @schumer.senate.gov open his mouth over the past week I’ve just become angrier and angrier. It is time for new leadership in the Senate. @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @electdemocrats.bsky.social

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@schumer.senate.gov is not currently the best person to lead senate democrats. He is not prepared to meet the current political moment and needs to be removed from his position as minority leader. The more he tries to justify/defend his utter failure the angrier and more frustrated I get.

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative. MORE: www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

I feel like you can support Trump’s wicked immigration policy, OR celebrate St Paddy’s day, but you can’t do both.

Every year I know spring is on the way when I walk into the farm store and hear the chirps of all the baby chicks. This year there hasn't been a single chirp. #BirdFlu #H5N1

I’m going to take this a step further: If you vote no on cloture, but do not publicly call for Schumer’s resignation, sit down until you have something worthwhile to say.
