Wow, 183 days for the US to follow an unhinged lunatic down the bunghole of madness. So much for national character. I feel as if I’m in an absurdist play. It’s the kind I always walk out of at intermission.

The medical community needs to set up a shadow HHS, NIH, CDC. We need a rock solid set of experts to counter the regime’s homicidal misinformation. Please.

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said Los Angeles is proof of how migration “unravels” a society. But in California, violent crime is down, and the unemployment rate is close to the national average, according to federal and state data.

Sen Joni Ernst described The Trump Regime’s health care policy better than anyone. “Well, we’re all going to die”. #ProudBlue

The election of Pope Leo XIV and the politics of Trump and his Evangelical base. My conversation with @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social Audio: pod.fo/e/2d9cf2 Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc8q...

Thousands of immigrants, like Mahmoud Khalil, are trapped in ICE custody, where abuse and cruelty is common. Tell Congress: Reject any bills that would expand ICE detention.

It’s a fact, not even a miracle ear heals a few days after being “shot”

But don’t let facts get in the way.

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

NEWS: Sen. Ossoff and Sen. Mark Kelly reintroduced their Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act. Repost if you agree it's time to BAN stock trading by members of Congress.

Always be a Bruce.

Harvard's Sidechat. Who agrees?

Spanish intelligence says Russia pumped out misinformation to exploit the floods in Valencia in 2024 in a bid to destabilise public order. Russia is now looking to take advantage of any sudden crisis anywhere. This is asymmetric war.

"Democratic politicians don't have any legislative power" sure but also Bruce Springsteen doesn't have any legislative power you don't have any legislative power I don't have any legislative power we all still have to try. any one of us is just a drop in a bucket. enough drops, you fill the bucket.

Arresting immigrants who are actively pursuing the legal pathways available to them outside of the immigration courtrooms where they must go to fulfill their obligations seems like a great way to disincentive immigrants from pursuing the legal pathways available to them

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

"Americans have not surrendered their sanity or capacity to know what’s right and wrong, what’s true and false. The pot may be beginning to boil, but we can still see and feel what’s happening. We are still able to take action." www.americaamerica.news/p/how-much-m...

Are we great yet?

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Good night! May you fall asleep in the arms of a dream, so beautiful, you'll cry when you awake.

Number 1 most evil thing in America...Faux media broadcasting. It's like having our very own Hanoi Hannah spewing propaganda at Americans every hour of every day. #TakeFoxOffTheAir #FoxLies #LockUpMurdoch

Trump fails to understand that “gifts” like this are not “free of charge” which is wht the Founding Fathers wrote the emoluments clause into the Constitution. Fast legal action is called for here. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...

"The most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Breaking news: The United States faces millions of measles cases over the next 25 years if vaccination rates for the disease drop 10 percent, according to new research published Thursday.

Reading the SM posts of RFK Jr’s mad anti-vax supporters is a statistician’s nightmare. They’re all wielding graphs showing the rise in vaccine use and the rise in autism as evidence that one causes the other. You could do a similar chart with the increase in ice cream flavours and autism.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

Richard Dawkins most famous reply to: "What if you're wrong?"

Flag code violation: Man uses American flag as a drape covering for Trump art, then wads it up in front of Trump who doesn’t seem to mind. Later, the man places the wadded up American flag in a chair behind him.
