Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

What in the what?!?! ICUs were empty during the height of the Covid 19 pandemic?!?

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Political scientists and psychologists argue that the perception of widespread incompetence among U.S. leaders are often a consequence of systemic voter ignorance, bias, and psychological phenomena. To put it plainly they are idiots.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

What in the actual fuck?!?!?

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/25/r...

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

Dr Oz on Medicaid requirements: "You have to work. You were not put on this planet to sit at home and watch television. The average person who's on Medicaid, who's able-bodied, watches 6.1 hours of television, or just hangs out, every day. That's not why God put you here."

AOC seems to personify the subtle art of not giving a fuck. Meaning she gives a fuck about what matters. And that seems to make The Club nervous. markmanson.net/not-giving-a...

🔥 AOC on whether she'll run for Senate or President in 2028: "They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go... But single payer healthcare is forever. A living wage, worker's rights are forever. ✊🏼

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.   My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.
