Congratulations America, He spent $15 million of YOUR money to take a nap at the Super Bowl and leave before halftime… All, on your dime.

You can’t win. So win. Good commercial #Nike. #girlpower

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump each announce their agreement to pause tariffs for a month. Sheinbaum beat Trump to alerting the public. You can see what Trump left out of his message.

A 22-year-old in Wisconsin died after a severe asthma attack because he couldn't afford the price of his inhaler, which was no longer covered by his insurance. The pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) that rescheduled his medication is OptumRx, which is a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.

Red state alcohol is currently being removed at B.C. Liquor store in Victoria. #bcpoli

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Since we’re not getting medical and scientific info out of the CDC, NI, fDA or other sources. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Pretty soon, he's gonna have a crisis of epic proportions on his hands, and he's only been just a few days in the WH. He won't know what hit him!! Mark my words!!!

DELETE IT and pass it on !!

Here’s a montage of Trump repeatedly bragging about shutting down TikTok.

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

We’ve gained 5 minutes on sunrise and and 19 minutes on sunset. Even though it’s -20 with windchill of -38F I will celebrate the lengthening days today and be thankful for the sun (and Yes, our solar is already making energy!)

Were you lied to?

It's official: President Biden finalized a cease-fire agreement in Israel. Hamas is going to release its hostages. Joe Biden always delivers.

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

Just took the 2nd step of many and deleted my Threads/Meta account. (First step was locking down my security and data on all the Meta Apps) Step by Step I’m leaving. I will NOT support #zuckerberg and his bullshit BTW said goodbye to Twitter many months ago. #musk🤮 #byeMeta

BREAKING: The Jack Smith Report on Trump’s attempts to overrun the 2020 election has been cleared for release after a ruling from Judge Aileen Cannon.

JUST IN: The U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December, surpassing expectations and bringing the total for 2024 to 2.2 million. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, and wages grew 3.9% over the past year, far outpacing inflation.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

I’m so tired of him as well.

The World Health Organisation: "The risk of H5N1 bird flu to the general population remains low."

My message to Zuck

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

A letter in NewScientist: "Considering the high death rate in people infected so far and the projections that even minor mutations could cause a virulent pandemic, mass production of an H5N1 vaccine and the inoculation of most of the population should be considered."

H5N1 is showing signs of adapting to humans with recent mutations (A134V, N182K, E186D) enhancing its ability to bind to human-like α2-6 receptors in the upper respiratory tract. This raises serious concerns about the virus’s potential to become more transmissible among humans.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

Word of the day (of course) is ‘scurryfunging’, from US dialect: the frantic attempt to tidy the house just before guests arrive.

As of 12/18/2024, the House passed a short term bill to keep COVID-era #telemed expansions (which covers video visits with all your doctors etc) until 3/31/2025 (initially set to expire 12/31/2024!!!), please keep talking to your reps as we still need action to keep it after March! #medsky #endosky

The Senate confirmed on Friday the 235th lifetime federal judge nominated by President Biden, topping the four-year record set during the first Trump administration by a single judge.

"Absolutely mind-blowing"

GDP has risen 12.6 percent over Biden’s tenure, far outpacing both predictions made even before Covid became a household name and growth in other advanced countries.

An NPR investigation found Louisiana health officials told staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu and mpox, holding flu shot events or otherwise encouraging the public to get those vaccines.

⚠️ BREAKING: The "mystery epidemic" in the Democratic Republic of Congo is believed to be partly linked to influenza, the Congolese government announced Friday evening. According to laboratory analysts, the prevalence of the influenza virus is 28%.
