Testicles usually drop at around nine months of age. Mike Pence’s took 65 years.

From the guy who was like that sieg heil was accidental idk I’m autistic, posting 14 flags at 14:14 pm seems pretty intentional! Idk do they call this “duper’s delight”?

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

This is absolutely insane. — www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary." Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year. 1/2

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Ron posted this on another site with part of the article. I pulled the rest and posted for us to read. *Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.* Ron Filipkowski ® @RonFilipkowski

"Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, according to two people familiar with the activities, sparking alarm within the tax agency"

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

The hypocrisy is amazing.

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

We got 99 problems and Trump is 98 of them.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Captures it perfectly.

I remember when Attorney General Pam Bondi said she'd protect federal whistleblowers in her confirmation hearing. Now they're being threatened with illegal "discipline, including dismissal."

You were warned! 🤬😡

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Just going to put this right here 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🖕🏾 youtu.be/f5UlQ1Rxmz4?...

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

ATTN: Probationary federal workers who have been fired, please read: federalworkerrights.com/2025/02/13/m...

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. "If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'" Vile.

This wasn’t some liberal holdover. This wasn’t a career bureaucrat. This was someone Trump’s team installed. And even she couldn’t stomach what they were doing. She wasn’t alone. Five more federal prosecutors resigned in protest. Bless their courage!

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

UPDATE: Judge CHUTKAN has called a 4pm hearing on the lawsuit over Elon Musk's authority to run DOGE.
