JD Vance on Sophie Cunningham: "We cannot save the US unless you have people of courage who are speaking their mind ... I would tell Sophie, 'keep going'"
Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.
I'm sorry, did Temu Mel Gibson here just sat that the baby is *in* the placenta?
Is there any aspect of human biology this lumbering science experiment of a man can't get wrong?
RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."
Step 1: Cut funding for food stamps
Step 2: Stop measuring hunger
Step 3: There's no evidence cuts to food stamps led to a rise in hunger

Crime rates in all three cities have gone down, and in Baltimore at astounding levels, in part by treating crime as a public health crisis, rather than a "need more cops" crisis. popular.info/p/the-secret...
The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.
When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.
For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

“How convenient, @GovBillLee & Tre Hargett.”
Eric points out Tennessee *coincidentally* shut down voter registration the same weekend as the massive #NoKingsDay turnout.
TN Republicans stay making Voter suppression an art form.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away
“In light of the President's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately”
I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover.
No, he did not fail.
He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US.
That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.
WE ARE RELIEVED TO HEAR A U.S. COURT HAS RULED THAT TARIFFS AGAINST OUR ISLAND WERE ILLEGAL AND A SPECTACULAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, AND REALITY. FLIPPERS UP UNTIL WE ARE PERMANENTLY SHOWN DUE RESPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -PM Tuxley II
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.
This is hardly the most important part of this, but I do think it’s worth noting that if President Obama, specifically, had accepted a half billion dollar gift from a Muslim-majority country, no one in right-wing media would be alive, because all of them would have suffered on-air aneurysms.
The same kind of folks who spent years complaining about masks that slowed the spread of disease are now wearing masks to facilitate the spread of fascism
Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.
School shootings aren’t a gun issue; they’re a mental health issue. Here’s why we’re cutting $1 billion in funding for student mental health.

I just met with legal counsel for my constituent, Dr. Badar Khan Suri.
Dr. Suri is a global conflict scholar at Georgetown who was detained without explanation by masked agents outside his Arlington home, then disappeared without due process to a prison 1,300 miles from his wife and children. 1/
Nothing speaks to the current state of Christianity more than the fact that atheists can give Pope Francis credit for trying to follow the teachings of Jesus while “Christians” like Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrate his death because he challenged her to do the same.
Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
I feel like an article on the Administration’s purported interest in declining birthrates should mention at least in passing that the same Administration is ruthlessly ejecting immigrants from the country and pose the question of what its real interest is. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...
When 2 careers are often needed to make ends meet, and pregnancy carries its own risks, it isn't irrational for women to limit the number of children they have.
Maybe focus on family friendly policies--paid leave, incentives for better maternal health outcomes.... Just spitballing here.
