I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Flu surge in Arkansas continues. Both flu A and Covid are killing Arkansans. Emergency rooms visits for flu are extremely high. Your flu shot will reduce severity, but the best way to stay out of the hospital is to not contract flu or covid in the first place. 😷

2024 was the deadliest year for journalists, and nearly two-thirds of them were killed by Israel. The silence about this isn't negligence. It's a calculated decision by our leaders to let authoritarian regimes know that killing reporters is a permissible tool of repression.

It's been absolutely mind blowing watching the same people that spent the last decade frothing about Soros influencing the left through behind the scenes funding turn around and cheer musk for purchasing power right before our eyes. Tribalism is a curse of stupidity

"what radicalized you?" When my dad had "good" insurance through my mom's working for the county, his own secondary insurance and catastrophic insurance... And when he needed a liver transplant to live they all refused it.

People need representation that protects them from this kind of blatant corruption. PG&E has continually raised their prices to the point that PG&E bill is second only to rent / mortgage.

Not to be confused w/ the time trump stole and shared national security secrets..Or when trump tweeted national security secrets..Or the other time trump tweeted national security secrets ... Or the time trump took a Russian photographer into the WH and let him take pics of national security secrets

Well, when your own CIA started flooding the streets of Black communities back in the 80s with Contra crack cocaine, are you really surprised? America is the biggest drug trafficking drug dealer of the world. The cartels don't have a business without US...

In case you missed it - California now requires servers to be paid at least the standard minimum wage ($16.50 per hr) Tips are NOT counted against that min wage pay Employers still cannot claim any of the tip money ... It's great to see the state ending that weird astrict next to minimum wage.

Go woke, go on to make bank while having happy, well paid employees

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

A little-known fact: the excellent publication that just published the report below this week had a publication it cofounded tossed out of its physical space in the Pentagon—with whom Elon Musk is a contractor Is any major-media journalist going to look into it or do we just assume it's corrupt now

I really like that this is being done. It's not sufficient to reach outside of solid blue bubbles but it's great for curbing the hopelessness feeling within those bubbles.
