Far too invested in public policy and politics for my own good. Unfortunately, I’ve made an education and career of it.

Need to check in with my work to see what their contingency plans are for nuclear war. Can I work remotely? Is the retreat still good to go?

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

I've kept saying one of the most dangerous MAGA Horsemen is RFK JR due to the damage he will do to America's public health infrastructure and his promotion of reckless, baseless, and destructive anti-vaxx conspiracies. You're seeing it play out now, folks. Should be bigger news.

Ghislaine Maxwell is about to tell a lot of lies about Democrats in order to get a pardon or sentence reduction from Donald Trump. As non-partisan journalists, we are required to repeat those lies.

This is a truly heinous & sickening way to treat human beings. By the way, the majority of immigrants being detained have ZERO criminal record. Republicans hold the majority. It's past time they join Democrats in calling for real oversight of these human rights violations.

Gutfeld: “We need to learn from the blacks. The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word word by using it. So from now on it’s: What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what's hanging, my Nazi?” Kennedy: “Nazi, please!” Gutfeld: “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”

Meiselas: Mar-A-Lago was used as the grounds in cases to sex traffic underage girls. And this isn't me being conspiratorial... it's documented.

The year is 2030. The Onion is the most respected and accurate news source. Fox News broadcasts exclusively in nursery rhyme format. Somewhere, deep in a bunker, a journalist whispers, “It wasn’t always like this…”

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I know Benny and our response, etc., is tired at this point, but his hollow emptiness is perhaps most abundantly clear to those of us who worked with him at BuzzFeed, when he chameleoned into what he needed to be there. It is — in some ways, I think — both appalling and obvious to us to see this.

NEW: Tucked inside the GOP mega-bill is an excise tax for solar and wind. And Republicans say they have no idea who put this provision in, or why. "I don't know where it came from," Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham, who released the bill, tells NBC News. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

This is absurd. @nytimes.com needs to find a better way to convey to readers what it knows to be true: These "findings" are not actual "findings" in any sense that most people would understand the word. The casual reader comes away with zero sense of the deep rot of bad faith at play here.

Senate Republicans blocked Senator Merkley's amendment to prevent officials from selling access and enriching themselves with crypto schemes. They're very busy cutting health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts, but still found time to protect the Trump family's corruption. Outrageous.

Van Hollen: "The real problem is Republicans refuse to ask billionaires to contribute more to the overall good of the country ... they have an obsession with giving tax cuts to very rich people and big corporations and everything else is sacrificed for that cause."

Email from Brown admin: government stopped payment on existing NIH grants as of April 3; in three months since, the gov't has cumulatively withheld $45 million in NIH grant reimbursements. Whatever injunctions, court orders, etc. may exist, no resumption of payments... and no explanation either.

Wait, "at least" 70 citizens have been forcibly deported "so far" without proper recourse to due process?! In any other era this would be the biggest scandal, a political deadweight dragging down a president & party, resulting in strong public + electoral backlash. Don't you think?🗃️
