Attention Protestors and Resisters: There are inexpensive small video and sound recording cameras available from Amazon. (Search “body cam.”) They can be clipped to a lapel or pocket and do not scream “I’m Recording” like holding a phone does, and leave your hands free. About $30 too. Consider.

Scanlon: You don’t schedule a meeting for 1 a.m. unless you’re trying to hide something. This bill is terrible. Republicans have been very reluctant to defend what’s in it.

Happy “Sink O’De Mayo.” And for my medical friends, a bonus “Mayo Stand.”

Mike Waltz is failing up.

He’s being rewarded for an egregious national security breach by being tapped for UN Ambassador—a slap in the face to the troops he put in greater danger with SignalGate.

I’ll be voting no.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social What does Superman say when he puts his dog to bed? “Krypto… Night!”

Couture: 700 billion in fraud that only he could find, yet hasn't produced the receipts… this is all about undermining your confidence in the program’s legitimacy so they can raid that trust fund

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Just goes to show: No amount of money can buy some people even a single clue

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

Worst Pokemon ever. Devolves rather than evolves.

New title for the White House Press Secretary…

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us “paid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those “Soros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it

I saw “Mickey 17” yesterday. Really great SF film with a biting subtext on a lot of social and class issues, frequently funny, great over-the-top performances by Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette, subtle political shots, and brilliant acting by Robert Pattinson. Strong with a lot of heart. Awesome!

Just arrived… Pomni Nendoroid!

A federal judge extended her injunction against the National Institutes of Health, preventing it from implementing or enforcing planned cuts to federal funding that supports various medical and scientific research projects.
