83% of Americans disapprove of King Donoldā€™s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

He nails it.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Over 72 million Americans rely on Medicaid for life-saving healthcare. Thatā€™s 72 million peopleā€”children, seniors, people with disabilitiesā€”who would suffer without it. Donā€™t cut my Medicaid.

The most important thing to understand about the recent history of Russian aggression against its neighbors, and especially against Ukraine, is that Putin is not a product of ā€œRussiaā€ or even of Russian nationalism. He is, in every way, a son of the Soviet Union. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublicaā€™s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

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

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Muskā€™s team to access individual tax returns.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Letā€™s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

MORE NEWS: A federal judge has granted an even more extensive block of DOGE's access to Treasury systems, saying there is a "realistic danger" that the "rushed" process to access sensitive payment systems has compromised data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The 'find out' phase is here.

Iā€™m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. Itā€™s time to take the gloves off.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

Share if you agree! Rep. McGovern: "Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there."

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BREAKING: Canada defeats the USA to take home the #4NationsĀ Ā Championship šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted: ā€œYou canā€™t take our country ā€” and you canā€™t take our game.ā€

Defending Trumpā€™s power grab with the ā€œunitary executive theoryā€ is just a fancy way of claiming the president can rule the executive branch like a monarch. This argument has no basis in history or the Constitution.

Remember when I said Elon Musk was losing his mind and people attacked me for it after media picked it up? As a Musk biographer I feel fine about my statement because I have published links to all the reporting substantiating my contention. This new video can certainly be tossed on top of all that.

Latest book to be banned in Utah schools is DAMSEL by Elana K Arnold, so I checked it out from my local library. What a FANTASTIC modern fairy tale. It was banned for discussion of sexual abuse & there is nothing graphic about it. It just TRUTH. What a sick state weā€™ve become.
