Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”

NEW: For years, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed discredited theories linking vaccines to autism. Now, scientists studying the condition fear he has preconceived notions that will harm the field and taint new funding for research. propub.li/41JYl7o

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

“Both of them.”

I mean my God what is in those files?

Jeffries: Josh Hawley is a total phony at this point. He spent the last few months talking about how devastating these medicaid cuts would be and then turned around and actually voted for it. If he wanted to do something about these medicaid cuts, he could have stopped it…

Sort of curious to know why EVERY Republican in the House thought it necessary to block the release of files that their Attorney General assured them do not even exist.

NEW: After further analysis, metadata shows 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from the Epstein jail video. www.wired.com/story/the-fb...

“When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” -Justice Sonia Sotomayor

I can’t believe how stupid everything is. Like just when I worry things can’t get stupider, life finds a way.

I laughed many times. And then sat in despair for 10 mins. Thanks @joepatrice.bsky.social.

Crockett: It seems like blue states are constantly putting red states on life support yet we got these little red states that ain’t contributing nothing.

So much for that “line.”

Associate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will end up being one of the heroes of this era if ever there are historians in the future who write about the fall of the United States She will almost never be in the majority on a major ruling, but she will have been the conscience of America

When you skipped history class and the briefing.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

The breakup is going as expected.🍿

Disgusting. Immoral. Unethical. Un-Christian.

I’m glad someone’s saying what we’re all thinking.

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar 2025: ohhh ok

I see what you did there.🦀💨

What a headline.

Unconstitutional.

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

He’s a liar.

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July! 249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

Mural of Statue of Liberty in shame unveiled in France the day before 4th of July

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

This country is thoroughly screwed for at least a generation. People haven't taken stock of how much damage has already been done. 2026 and 2028 won't magically fix this. It's going to be a long walk.

If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

”Forget about Intelligence.” Wait , are we talking about Iran or are they testing new mottos for this Administration?

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Hard to argue with that.

We may make the squeaking our ringtone

Checking in on the final day of Mike Lindell’s trial for claiming he had proof the 2020 election was stolen …

Jesus, this is awful.

We hope you don't find the etymology of 'tawdry' morally sordid, base, or distasteful.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.
