what an image.

Give this a listen. It’s becoming par for the course. And Democratic candidates - especially female candidates - now get it from both sides of the political spectrum.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

We have a moral imperative to aid Ukraine in their defense against this barbarity.

Last year, Trump and 98% of elected GOP enacted the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, bigger even than Reagan's Medicaid cuts. By 2034, 7.5 million people will lose their Medicaid because of the cuts. Clinics are already closing and hospitals are already cutting services, citing OBBBA as a reason.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

85/15 ground beef is back up to 8 bucks a pound. Trump take taco.

Many thanks to @theunpopulist.net for reposting my piece on Stephen Miller’s Office of Remigration, which really needs more attention. This agency announces right in its name that white nationalism is the basis for US immigration policy: www.theunpopulist.net/p/stephen-mi...

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

This is brutal. Just brutal.

Democrats will take back the House. And when we do, we will pass a forward-looking agenda. But our job at Oversight will be holding the Trump Crime Family accountable for their corruption.

A civilian geography professor was fired from West Point for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change.

If Obama, Biden or even George W. Bush had waited this long to go to Indiana, or lift a finger, to help, it would be a major story on every network newscast, every night, until the president Did Something. I'm glad outlets such as NYT are covering, but the silence from network TV is deafening

And now it seems like a bunch of transformers blew and a lot of the places that had power restored are back without it again? Fuck this, man.

FALLING ANGELS is a wargame where you get one (1) space marine and a handful of little guys each and you scrub around in the ruins of empire in search of profit and glory. www.patreon.com/gshowitt/pos...

Is there a squishy toy in your car right now getting dangerously hot?

This is a very good headline: "Covid vaccines are not linked to miscarriage. Here's how we know."

I fucking love Harrison Ford. He's always been like this.

BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!

If Bluesky was really as dead as they say, could I do THIS?? (okay I am going to need this to do big numbers)

The guy who's been building an elephant puppet toddler carrier to invade Italy is currently in the Alps, just FYI
