In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

BREAKING NEWS: Al Franken’s old Senate Seat will be OPEN in 2026! Who else agrees he should run again? 💙

uhhh kinda feels like maybe they should publish those birds flu studies? www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Dont let them off by just reinstating a false front DEI. They must publicly reject Trump’s racist policies. An example needs to be made. They obeyed in advance. #FAFO.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Trash ass Chiefs with Christian nationalist kicker and Trump loving Mahomes family kicked into the dirty by the Eagles who come from a city with a big Black population during a Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar and a super Black halftime show all in front of Trump. Love it.

MAGA death cult.

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

When Trump said he would lower prices he meant stock prices, actually.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t taking Trump’s shit today.

Exactly one week ago.

🚨BREAKING: After @democracyforward.bsky.social successfully sues, OMB rescinds memo claiming to freeze all federal funding. Follow @democracydocket.com for details. Don't ever let anyone tell you that litigation can't help protect democracy. www.democracydocket.com

This is a great question for all of congress to think about. Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ? Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

MUST-WATCH: Daniel Hodges, the Capitol police officer who was crushed by the Jan 6 rioters who pinned him against a wall, came back this week to ensure safety at Trump's inauguration and just spoke at the Capitol addressing the pardons. Daniel, America failed you. 💔

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Mike Johnson considering conditioning disaster aid: "Never in California did we question whether or not we, as taxpayers in the largest state in the Union, should support the people of Louisiana at a time of emergency and need. We’d never condition it."

America voluntarily transforming into a broligarchy in service to King Trump before our eyes. Just like that, folks. All bending the knee. What a sad time.

Yikes!!!😬🥴

If you ask me, it should be referred to as the MUSK White House. He’s clearly the one who’ll be in charge.

What a fucking, ungrateful, pathetic sellout! If it wasn’t for the LGBTQ community, the Village People wouldn’t have reached their height of popularity and “YMCA” wouldn’t have become such a mega hit. No surprise that this guy happens to be the ONLY original member of the group who WASN’T gay. 🏳️‍🌈

Mark Cuban posted a TikTok video that he wants to support or invest in somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the bluesky AT protocol.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

This is what happens when the Oval Office comes with shiny new criminal immunity and a guy willing to use it. "I'm trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into, you know, the seat of criminal activity in this country." - KBJ

The last one at WaPo should make sure to turn out the lights. It will be darkness, but democracy is already dead over there.

Buried deep inside Mike Johnson’s short-term government funding bill is a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 — the first since 2009. If approved this week, lawmakers will get an annual pay raise as high as $6,600. Outrageous!

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that much more media attention needs to be directed to the fact that Republicans' main witness against Hunter Biden pleaded guilty for lying about him. If it was trump, they'd still be screeching about "lawfare." DO YOUR JOBS!

Police could potentially use the data provided by Fog Data to geofence entire buildings or street blocks—like the area surrounding an abortion clinic—and get information on devices used within and surrounding those buildings.

Welker: You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is that still your plan? Trump: Yeah, absolutely.

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions: How will the media cover? What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do? Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

Thoughts?

USA, if you're listening, we hope you're able to find a mass protest near you.

Jeff Bezos said he's excited to have Trump & wants to help dismantle government regulations. “I’m actually very optimistic this time around,” Bezos said of Trump at the DealBook conference. “He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. If I can help him do that, I’m gonna help him.”

Why didn't they just put the photos inside a glass case that only the manager can open

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE #ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION. REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription. In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

The Kremlin has consistently employed diverse strategies to shape the global geopolitical landscape in favor of Russia’s interests, including manipulation, propaganda, cyberattacks, cybercrime, disinformation campaigns, and threats.

hot takes about why it's not respectful to make jokes about the murder of the United healthcare CEO do not require any actual reporting, unlike @propublica.org's multiple investigations into the company's mass denial of healthcare coverage claims: www.propublica.org/article/unit...

This is going to save hospitals a lot of money ! www.pennmedicine.org/news/news-re...

FANTASTIC NEWS! Romania’s Constitutional Court has just annulled the first round of the presidential election due to heavy Russian interference. The second round will not take place on Sunday and the first round will be re-run. The electoral authorities will have to validate all candidates again.

BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy announces that DOGE will attempt to slash the budget of electric vehicle startup Rivian, a major Elon Musk competitor. Last week, the Department of Energy announced a $6.6 billion conditional loan commitment to Rivian. Ethics lawyers, are you paying attention?

Crockett: We added four million people, they were people of color, Texas got two new seats… somehow, the way that they do their Republican math in the state of Texas, that amounted to new white Republican seats. They love to use our bodies to apportion us in an inaccurate way
