Republicans have done a bang-up job of proving that food regulation works!

There are a lot of evil shits in this administration, but this gormless ghoul is right up there at the top. I hope @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social have a Project 2025-sized playbook of investigations and inquiries into what he's been up to, because I bet we only know a fraction of his fuckery

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM: All of the countries playing in the World Cup have universal healthcare EXCEPT for the US. We have other priorities, like pointless wars, golden ballrooms, terrorizing our people on the streets, concentration camps, and ruining reflecting pools by painting over marble.

Does E. Jean Carroll need any assistance in filing her slam-dunk claim against her rapist's $1.8 billion slush fund for being a victim of the weaponization of the judiciary? I'd be glad to help!

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

If I saw this on the beach 🏖️ I’d probably get teary eyed. The scooter club is vibing. Thank you for all the people who help these dogs live their best life.

LANDSMAN: You've cut healthcare by nearly $1t & now you're gonna cut the EPA by 50%. ZELDIN: I hear from Americans across the country happy to get more back in their tax return LANDSMAN: You don't talk to folks. That really isn't true. Nobody is saying 'thank you' for cutting their healthcare
