Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

I’m no economist, but we’re orders of magnitude more productive than in pre-industrial society, and yet we’re told we can’t afford to look after one another any more. I just want someone to explain to me how that adds up.

The house has passed a ban on coverage of gender care for all ages under Medicaid, CHIP and ACA plans. I don't know what to say to anyone this morning other than that the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to lose access to the care they need to stay alive deserve better than silence.

I keep getting asked if it’s legal to spend our campaign funds on food drives or our high school public service grants and the answer is YES. It is. Politicians and Democratic organizations need to use their coffers to help people NOW and fill in the gaps that Trump has created.

@lawdorknews.bsky.social Hi, could I please appeal this block from your other account? This was intended to be a humorous copypasta of Matt’s assessment of himself. I appreciate that wasn’t obvious from context. I would greatly miss the ability to read your skeets on current cases.

I was watching this comedy video and just started crying. It’s so garbage that YouTube is literally incentivising more AI slop. Stop the train, I want to get off. youtu.be/dGA6sVaGveU?...

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵
