Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Major events in human history are often driven by incredible assholes, just monstrous douchebags with ego problems that cause them to float through the world committing atrocities and cheering themselves onwards. Nate Silver should both read better books and go to therapy.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

🚨Please let your member of Congress know how crucial telehealth is. For me it’s been a godsend, not having to travel as much & save my energy, which I have very little of at times. Telehealth actually was expanded under the first Donald Trump administration due to Covid locking down medical centers.

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Fantastic piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social of the resegregation of America under Trump.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

I do not agree with this decision. abcnews.go.com/US/los-angel...

There’s something happening in this country.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

the stock market is now below where it was when Joe Biden left office

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Today's front page of The New York Post.

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

🚨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!

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

Mt. Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii spewing lava, Feb. 19, 2025 🔥

Helping a sovereign democracy in Europe defend its lands and freedoms from murderous war criminal Putin, is in US interest and that of our allies. Ukrainians are doing the fighting & the dying Helping them is strategically and morally right & should never be transactional.

A new report from the Brattle Group shows that eliminating IRA's clean-energy tax credits would increase generation costs, eliminate jobs, & slow US economic growth. Importantly, this report was commissioned by ConservAmerica, a *conservative group*. conservamerica.org/wp-content/u...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.
