The Santa Fe medical examiner concludes that Gene Hackman died about one week after his wife, both of them from natural causes. A hauntingly sad report. apnews.com/article/gene...

Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa both died of natural causes, authorities say. Betsy died first from Hantavirus. A week later, Hackman died of cardiovascular disease with Alzheimer’s as a contributing factor.

It's crazy and horrifying to think about Gene Hackman and his wife's final days now that the Santa Fe Medical Examiner and Sheriff's Office has presented the timeline. She died of hantavirus likely on the night of February 11th. He died of heart disease a week later.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Of course Trump and his administration would confuse "transgenic" for "transgender." Transgenic mice are aiding in cancer research, cures for Alzheimer's Disease, and other genetic anomalies and diseases. Transgender mice... are fake and don't exist.

I'm not watching any of the President's address to Congress. It's gonna be full of lies anyway. I'm watching Star Trek instead.

Trump is running a propaganda operation while Musk dismantles the government

with no other good economic news to tout, Trump is back to doing CEO bro-downs at the White House

Ukraine is more of an enemy to the US than Russia is according to this fool of a President.

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

Feels like Anora is one of those movies that will have us looking back years from now, saying, “Best Picture? Really?” #Oscars

Watching Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke, and ten minutes into the first episode, it's hard not to think that giant Mormon families are f*cking psychotic.

Just more proof that this Administration doesn’t care if we survive it…

Go to f***ing hell, Moscow Mitch McConnell. And let the f***ing door hit you multiple times on your way out to retirement from the Senate. I say this with utmost contempt and disrespect: Fuck you, asshole.

None of this is a distraction. For one, Team Trump is not that calculating. He, especially, is often winging it. Or, in a sense, all of it is a distraction. Each awful thing draws some attention, making it hard to focus on any one awful thing. But each thing itself is real, not merely distraction.

It's amazing how badly most congressional Democrats are misreading the mood of their base. On the bright side, if you're ever considered running for Congress, the 2026 Democratic Party primaries are going to be a prime moment for "throw the old guard out" insurgents.

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

This is a disgusting fuck you to people who have chosen a life of public service from a cadre of wealthy, fascist dilettantes.

Army Blackhawk helicopters are crashing into passenger planes at DCA while the Secretary of Defense is on Fox News ranting about DEI

One week apart.

Perhaps Pete Hegseth should spend less time on Fox News and more time doing his actual job. This is what Donald Trump's inept leadership looks like.

Senator Hasan to RFK Jr:   "When was it that you decided to sell out the values you've had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?" 💥 RFK Jr will be a rubber stamp for anything Trump says.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular president at the start of his term in modern American political history. Don't let anyone talk to you about a mandate. Don't let anyone talk to you about there being support for his agenda. Don't let anyone tell you that anything about this presidency is normal.

Seems to me immigrants aren’t the ones criming and Shitler pardoned 1500 real criminals.

I am heartbroken by the tragedy in D.C. tonight. There is little meaningful that any of us can do online to honor those who died, but calling attention to the fact that Trump is now trying to make aviation less safe at a time we are having lots of mid-air collisions and near misses is not nothing.

Hell of a live update above the headline ☹️

Under the current Trump Administration, this tragedy of a collision between a commercial aircraft and a military helicopter at Reagan National Airport will further shine a spotlight on the incompetence at the top.

Can we pause for a moment and note that the first chyron says, "EUROPE PLOTS TO STOP TRUMP FROM TAKING GREENLAND" WTF?!!?!

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

The poster boy for Trump’s unpopular federal funding freeze is a deeply unlikable and outspoken guy, one who looks and talks like the stock villain in a TV drama about politics and who has a confirmation to a powerful role pending before the Senate. Democrats need to beat him like a piñata

Do N O T Leave.

⚠️ Trump offering resignation buyouts to ALL two million federal workers “The offer applies to all full-time federal employees, except for military personnel, the Postal Service, and those working in immigration enforcement or national security.” www.axios.com/2025/01/28/t...

I really wanted this to be good. But it doesn't even meet the premise of the title. Nothing about this requires the characters to have anything to do with Section 31. Most of the characters are annoying, and the plot feels like they tried to squeeze an entire season into a feature. #startrek

Wow, #Section31 is kind of awful. It's not Star Trek that I even recognize anymore.

Trump threw out thousands of executive orders during his first term. Yes, there are fewer guard rails, but he's also gutted the infrastructure he could have otherwise used to enforce his ideas. Rules don't matter to these guys, but Trump's weakness is he doesn't know how to do it.

Trump is trying once again to appease his religious base and has pledged to start attending Church as early as 2028.

On Monday, I'm going to make a bet with myself to see how long it takes me to ignore everything that's going on with the incoming administration. How long it takes me not to have to deal with the consequences of their stupid-ass decisions. I'm thinking I'll last five days.

Republicans are politicizing fire can’t wait to see what element they choose next

The capitulation is complete. Jodi Ernst signals her support of Pete Hegseth, an alleged sexual predator. Ernst, a veteran and a survivor of sexual assault, has no principles. She's chosen to risk our national security by installing an unqualified hack to preserve her power.
