More divorce than man

A lot of people confuse writing with typing. Writing isn’t typing. It’s the entire process and yes that includes going for a walk or rearranging things in your office.

One of the most persistent myths in American politics is that Ronald Reagan was for smaller government. When he left office, there were more federal government employees than the day he was inaugurated.

NEWS The FDA, which operates under the authority of Robert Kennedy Jr., canceled the meeting to discuss next year’s flu vaccines. This could interfere with or delay production of flu vaccines. 86 children and 19,000 adults have died from flu this season. About 430,000 people were hospitalized.

This is Breuer. He's still figuring out how to sit. Wants to know what you think of his plop in the meantime. 12/10 (IG: chase.n.breu.labradors)

This is very good.

What happens when the SSA closes field offices? *People have a harder time getting access to services that they are eligible for because of crowded offices. *People with more severe disabilities, lower income and lower education are most adversely affected. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Why do we need Medicaid for the poor? Because we don't have universal healthcare #UHC as all of the other OECD countries do. Why don't we have it? ONE reason: so the rich can get richer. It's more profitable for them to watch 45,000 Americans die every yr from no/low coverage & that's ok with them!

Another criminal defense lawyer for Donald Trump, John Sauer, says he'll consult career DOJ ethics officials about his many potential conflicts of interest if confirmed. The issue? Donald Trump removed them all. Watch: youtu.be/7kOHxeIWWDc?...

Death by idiocy & ignorance is coming. Uganda has an Ebola outbreak. 12 Americans were exposed to it. Uganda tried informing the US but its staff had gone. There was no-one to answer the phone. No-one to set up border screening. No-one to liaise with WHO. Madness.

The EU was formed with the vision of stopping a continent triggered two world wars to find another way to co-exist. On that count, it has been an astonishing success, for member countries but also for the US. That is the problem Trump is trying to fix.

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday. That 2015 death in WA was preceded by a 12y period of no US deaths. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... HHS Secretary RFK Jr. says it’s “not unusual.” apnews.com/article/meas... It is unusual. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

Welcome to the Blueskies,,,, Rhiannon Giddens,,, and get her tix for the newly located DC show 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

For this then is witch-walking: to step into conversation into the spirits of the land; to step out and gather feral magics. To walk and to move among nature's gifted enchantments. There is no path we may take that is without learning. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

💪 you heard that right

No democrat should vote for anything in Congress until Musk is fired and all the federal funding he zeroed out on a whim is restored. We simply cannot have a democracy when the Executive's zonked-out Vizier moves fast and breaks things he doesn't understand, which is all things, because he's stupid.

In reality the fascism is not funny but this is an Arrested Development bit

I’m guessing Jeff Bezos isn’t going to love my op ed about how one of the preconditions for a free market is that you have enough players in the market that nobody has market-defining share.

Arkansas evangelical church youth volunteer, Andrew Apple, has been arrested for the rape of multiple children at his church. www.5newsonline.com/article/news...

New York City, you in danger girl

These are the "kind of people" who can pay the 5 Million for US Citizenship after they rob their own. Money Laundering is what a sitting US president is proposing...

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

Few things can capture the vanity and sheer depravity of Trump. This video, he posted on his Truth Social account overnight, is as close as you’ll get. It should greet him at the gates of hell.

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

Rep. Massie, the lone Republican NO, says the Republican budget will add $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years. They don’t care about the debt and never did. This was all a dance to get their trillions in tax cuts for the rich. (Again) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGheJx1...

Competitive authoritarianism involves retaining some of the trappings of democracy while removing its core values

6 months ago my 7 year old daughter did not enjoy reading on her own. Then she discovered these books about dragons. Tonight she finished BOOK 15, the series finale. They are ~300 pages each. I am blown away by this feat and very proud of her. Also now she loves dragons which makes me happy 💚

Legitimately the stupidest man alive I cannot fucking STAND this shit

I took this shot in Tudor City back in 2021. Has to be one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

I want the Chief Justice of the United States to grow a spine and say that defying a court order is never official act. But that would require a Chief Justice who hadn’t personally invited this exact kind of fascism.

I have a suspicion as to how Vance Day got on the radar of the Trump Administration. Oregon's Solomon Yue is a longtime RNC member and a pretty close associate of/donor to Trump. I first saw the news about Day's appointment a week ago on FB from an org run by Yue's partner, also a GOP activist.

The Republican Study Committee was founded in 1973 by Paul Weyrich and its purpose ever since has been to keep driving the GOP ever rightward. The Heritage Foundation's house historian, Lee Edwards, is currently writing a history of the RSC that will likely depict it in a very favorable light.

People gleefully treated George Lucas like absolute garbage from 1997 to 2012, and they only stopped doing it when a powerful woman became his successor. A successor he chose, mind you. Don’t let anyone rewrite history. Do not get fooled for a single second. It was a culture war recruitment tantrum.

Neal: "Look at the alignment. $1.2t here for cuts, but $1.2t for tax cuts. Oh, let me figure that one out. They are going to cut Medicaid to justify what it is that they want to do."

If the ‘DOGE administrator’ spends the next four years OOO in Cabo, I will grudgingly respect it.

"Overturning Roe was never just about sending abortion back to the states. It was a necessary step on the path to allowing pre-existing state bans to take effect, and to banning abortion nationwide." - @susanrinkunas.com
