We knew in our guts while hiding that the shooter was targeting us. This violence is driven by anti-vaccine propaganda. And the rot start at the top. Just this week RFK Jr canceled all mRNA vaccine research while lying about the technologies safety and effectiveness.

“The shooter was either sick or believed he was sick, and blamed his illness on COVID vaccine — which is why he was targeting the CDC.”

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Noem lays down a marker: 'the best we've seen out of FEMA.' Mainstream media ought to take up the challenge and do some serious compare/ contrast about FEMA responses. Here's a good place to start: The Biden admin pre-positioning of resources BEFORE Hurricane Helene hit vs Noem's Texas efforts.

Noem: "These emergencies need to be conducted exactly how President Trump handled this one ... this response was by far the best we've seen out of FEMA."

Donald Trump is ripping away America’s role as a world leader in science and innovation. Cuts to health care breakthroughs. Cuts to tech development. Cuts to energy research. How is this America first?

- The court must set a bond amount based on the potential cost or harm to the government if it loses. - Judges are explicitly banned from considering: - Whether you’re poor - Whether you’re a nonprofit - Whether your rights are being violated

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

I’m proud that Pittsburgh now ranks first in population growth in PA. Our city has faced decades of population loss but thanks to our hard work we are starting to reverse that trend and grow Pittsburgh. Together, we can make our city the greatest in the world. Let’s get it done!

"You guys have no idea how hard we're working on stories we'll eventually soft-pedal with cowardly framing topped off with out -of-nowhere references to 2017 stories misleadingly framed in accordance with Trump's wishes"

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

These are the same morons who say they can get their weather from local TV if National Weather Service is defunded. They have no idea the TV Station gets their info from the NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE!

I love how 400 years of systemic racism and sexism is fine, but "I am white and don't want to have to get an education in anything relevant but still want everything handed to me on a silver platter and am willing to blow up the world economy so everyone is as fucked as me" - those are real victims.

Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)

Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

BREAKING The President of El Salvador says he will not be releasing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” The Supreme Court recently ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return. (Abrego-Garcia was never convicted of terrorism)

The House passed legislation to prohibit federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, marking a significant step in an escalating Republican campaign targeting judges who have blocked some of Trump’s executive orders.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

riptwitterpitted.bsky.social reposted

China tariffs are now 104%. Forget inflation for a moment—American owned companies are going to go out of business. This is bonkers!!!
