Super excited about this happening right at the start of tornado season. Who needs warnings, anyway?

That's what made the Ukrainians invade themselves.

Someone ask Musk to change a tire

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

my superpower for predicting things? paying attention to what people with power say and do

Among the relevant questions in the litigation alleging that Musk unconstitutionally wields the power of a “principal officer”: 1. Does Musk have the power to hire and fire people? 2. Is Musk supervised by someone other than the president and is that person a Senate-confirmed officer?

This is money already owed. For work already done. They’re asking SCOTUS to let Trump run the government the way he runs his businesses.

Three things worth knowing about the current fiscal debate: 1. When they're talking about savings, the numbers are usually billions (though sometimes millions). 2. When they're talking about tax cuts, the numbers are usually trillions. 3. A trillion is a thousand times larger than a billion.

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

ICYM REPUBLICANS NEW BUDGET DOES NOT INCLUDE NO TAX ON TIPS (TRUMP LIE DURING ELECTION) NO TAX ON OVERTIME (another lie) NO TAX ON SSI (another lie) Tell your MAGA NEIGHBORS (ty Brian Tyler Cohen)

JFC. The US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index is at its highest level since 2000, higher than during the Financial Crisis, higher than during COVID

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

I’ve written up a fuller version of this take at Arc Digital www.arcdigital.media/p/the-unbear...

A reminder that the person who kicked off the modern anti-vax movement actually was a shill for "big pharma" and didn't actually want people to stop vaccinating their kids, rather he used a bad study in an effort to convince parents not to get the triple vaccine (MMR) and instead ... 1/

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

Seems like everyone has kinda memory-holed this one. thehill.com/homenews/new...

PLEEEEEEASE come to Tennessee!! Our MAGA "electeds" are 100% inaccessible. No public meetings, no way to call into "tele town halls," etc.

Children dying of vaccine-preventable diseases due to parental neglect is truly a hellish reality. There will be more of these deaths and every single one will be a preventable tragedy.

Using my “personal liberties” to repost this

A peaceful country next to Russia heard this same thing before from them.

Costco did the right thing immediately Apple did the right thing after seeing Target losing billions & Costco's stocks soaring If enough of us vote with our wallets, we send a serious message

Budgets are statements of values. And what we're seeing is that House Republicans value ripping food and health care away from millions of Americans in order to partly pay for tax cuts for the rich.

When the hell do we get to the America first part?

So, they didn't have the votes and they just lied, hoping Ds would lose enough "no" votes? Is that really what happened?

He really struggles with the concept of a constitutional republic with judicial review.

You can make whatever campaign promises you want, but budgets don’t lie. This is the middle-finger Trump gave to 99% of Americans tonight.

Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

You first.

Do not make this abuser the mayor of New York.

What do you want to bet more dangerous criminals enter the country via this program than all other programs added up? Threats to the country?

I saw someone say the brown shirts in Iowa taking down that woman was a test to see what the men in the room will tolerate. If this is what the "protectors" do and allow to be done to women, no wonder we choose the bear.

this is part of why I get so annoyed with the “lol and you’re surprised???” genre of lefty cynic reply guy. always calling a bad thing bad is important! there are many more reasons to state something out loud besides “my stars, this is a development no one could have predicted”

"The President met with adoring fans and voters today. He was strong, healthy and powerful. All in attendance cheered on his amazing leadership and thanked him for saving the country." - Pravda

Reporter: Who is the administrator of DOGE? White House secretary: “I’m not going to reveal the name of that person from this podium…”

I miss DEI

Ouch. I'm glad judges are pushing, but at some point they need to get over their habitual deference to the government and handle this as they would most cases, to wit: "Counsel, step outside the courtroom, get on your phone, and bring someone here who can answer my questions. You have one hour."

Instead of going after corporations who pay $0 in taxes, Republicans are focusing their budget on slashing assistance for people who struggle and the farmers and small businesses who power our economy. It doesn't make any sense. And it's just cruel.

We love merit, don’t we folks?
