Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way. At least according to..the Mom-o-meter. My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency. Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random. Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

Following a private Senate briefing on the pandemic, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue purchased stocks in companies that produce body bags and PPE. Both were voted out of office. Currently, they are nominees for positions in the Trump administration. #MAGA

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

Kavanaugh also brings up "detransitioners," people who "regret" their decision to transition genders. Like Alito, he cites European countries that are "pulling back" from gender-affirming care for minors, saying it's a "yellow light" or "red light" for the court that Europe is "pumping the brakes."

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

Response to coups by elected leaders: - South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens - Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics - United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

Your regular reminder that spending the night on a sidewalk should not be only way to watch, in real time, the institution that heads up 1/3 of our federal government.

And Hillary herself admitted to deleting those emails. At the very least, we should look into suspicions of corruption, but the govt seems to be covering up, on both sides. Accountability is what we need. Not cheering for one sides corruption because of tribalistic vitriol.

The right-wing keeps growing because they engage, unite & they stay on task. We have 1 year to work or the cons win. No one is coming to save us! Our family, friends & loved ones will suffer. Do Not Wait Until After An Election To Rise!

Lying about a private citizen and making a not-so-veiled threat that he will be executed. (And then deleting the tweet.) And the person doing it is the richest guy in the world, a major government contractor, who is new besties with the convicted-felon president-elect. Do I have that right?

I posted these in response to another tweet & thought it deserved it's own post. Under Biden/Harris, fentanyl deaths in the US decreased in 2023 for the 1st time in over 10 yrs, while fentanyl seizures have skyrocketed as well, from 4M in 2020 to 115M in 2023. How soon until Trump takes credit?

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know

Time to read up on the Comstock Act, which could be revived to end access to mifepristone or even contraception. We have you covered: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

motherjones.comA nationwide abortion ban could really happen. Thank Anthony Comstock's suitcase full of dildos.The law named for Anthony Comstock drove abortion underground and banned contraception. Now conservatives are hoping to dust it off to make abortion pills and even the Pill illegal again.
