Measles Outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico Sicken Nearly 100 People: A majority of the cases have been in a Texas county where vaccination rates have lagged behind the rest of the state. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

God this is all so, so dumb

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

It looks like Trump eschewed McDonalds in favor of Burger King, and I think I see why.

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

One thing about elder millennials growing up playing Wolfenstein 3D and watching Indiana Jones repeatedly is you don't need to teach us that Nazis are the bad guys

Savage Trump own from Justin Trudeau after Canada beat the US in the Four Nations Face-Off final. Everything Trump Touches Dies. Bravo, Canada! 🇨🇦

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

Trump & Musk have somehow managed to frame recent events as a binary: Either you want to burn it all down, or you support the status quo It’s a false choice, obviously. But Dems/Trump critics have done a poor job articulating that failure in logic and existence of option #3: actually fix things

I’d love for the Euro leaders to say jointly, “Mr. Trump: we’re stepping up our support for Ukraine and against Putin. When the chips are down, on which side will you be fighting?” www.lemonde.fr/en/europe/ar...

Once you - and everyone else - are clear of the wreckage, sure, go ahead and film. Otherwise, keep the damn phone in your pocket and get the hell out. Idiot.

Let’s hope he’s run out of town on his skateboard.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
