The most important races are the local and state races—this has been true, all along, and something the GOP knows (and leverages) well

He’s says he’s the law

This is serious in that the UK law says Apple can't announce that this was because of the law. What's even more concerning is that Apple took this step, but NO ONE ELSE providing data services in the UK has done so. How many caved and built back doors into their encryption services?

This is gonna be great for the local housing market…etc

I was a lone cowboy on the range. I ate beans from a can heated over a fire and drank cowboy coffee full of grounds. My clothes were dusty and I was never lonely

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Todays hero

“Many workers say they live in a constant state of fear, unable to trust their colleagues, unable to speak freely, reflexively engaging in self-censorship even on matters they view as crucial to national security.” Fed gov used to be a great place to work, www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

This is the artistic equivalent of smearing human feces on the walls of the capitol building and calling it speech

I feel like we learned this before the 2016 election—at least the people paying attention did?

i love that they put a bullet proof vest on mangione as if a) he's under any danger at all and b) it wouldn't make him look like 300% hotter

I read this book 2x in high school—it wasn’t assigned, it just deeply resonated. I was a white Utah kid who had moved to DC…& was once described by a boy on the red line as “white as hell;” he was right—& it hurt to see the fear in his mom’s eyes as she apologized for her gregarious boy

Shooting up drugs is one of the things we love to do with the kids 💉😎

I want to say this is unbelievable but it sure isn’t

This is great to see—AP has been one of my main news sources. WaPo was my hometown rag but that’s been dead to me since Bezos bought it—for reasons that became obvious

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

Animal research has brought us insight into & treatment for ailments of allsorts—cancer, metabolic disorders, infx disease, neurol conditions. Surgical procedures, rx efficacy, etc. — …research needs to transition away from using animals … through “aggressive incrementalism and not death by ax.”

Pretty sure this isn’t the timeline so many young American men (by which I mean men & boys) died for back in the day.

This seems to be simultaneously more relevant and less possible than ever. MAGA all like

Me: what was for lunch at school today Kid: Burrito. Oh and a banana but I didn't eat it I just used it as a phone

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. Gift link here: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The cost savings in eppe tubes, alone, is epic Good job, bruh

70 year old Senator Tommy Tuberville can’t think of the word “triangle”

I think the only group that must be thriving right now are people who want to watch the poors literally have to eat other for sustenance from their castles

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I took my youngest for her latest vaccination appt and asked the doctor if there were many families who refused to vaccinate their children. A look of intense sadness passed over her face before she said “more and more”

Frfr Also: the firings and scare tactics aren’t anything at all What has been happening is just the strike of firing pin—the bullet takes some time to fly through the air before it hits its target; whether it hits true or the child in the way, we’ll know before too long
