RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Legislators are fundamentally metrics driven cowards. Flood them with enough calls and they will start panicking that theyre backing an unpopular issue

Mention both KOSA and the SCREEN act! Demand that they act AGAINST these bills!

An easy thing to do from home is to send a note of appreciation when an organization or institution refuses to comply.

Good on them.

Getting a bunch of "Call N. K.!" tags again. This happens every time somebody attempts to blow up/risks blowing up the moon -- which you wouldn't think would happen a lot, but here we are.

So proud of Texas Democrats tonight. From the ground up, we fight back.

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

This is a watch in WA, OR, and CA — not a warning yet.

IF it hits, it’ll be before midnight, depending on the location. It’ll be low tide, just around -.54 feet. For comparison, high tide today is 7 feet.

More updates from NOAA are incoming, but I would be surprised if this even causes flooding.

In any sort of normal presidency and media environment, this would destroy the entire administration and force multiple cabinet resignations as well as the president himself.

Our statement on Tesla's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Q2: Tesla’s revenue and deliveries are again down double digits. Its Full Self-Driving hype is now a legal liability, with California threatening to revoke Tesla’s license to sell cars... #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall 🧵

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

very grim

From 2010. This video existed before Trump ran for president. Yet here we are.

It's nice to imagine how the stress of this situation might be eating away at his remaining time on earth

Trump is a predator. It’s been well documented for a long time, and if people would just believe the multiple victims that have testified in various forums, this wouldn’t need to be breaking news.

In other news, water is wet.

I feel like I’m losing my mind being expected to pretend over and over again that we don’t know this and that he doesn’t know this. I mean, I guess more confirmation is better than less, but the perpetual pretense of ignorance is a bit crazy-making.

The Voyager Declaration Dear Interim Administrator Duffy, In light of your recent appointment as Interim NASA Administrator, we bring to your attention recent policies that have or threaten to waste public resources, compromise human safety, weaken national security, and undermine the core NASA mission. We, the signatories of this letter, dissent from these policies, and raise these concerns because we believe strongly in the importance of NASA's mission, which we are dedicated to uphold. Major programmatic shifts at NASA must be implemented strategically so that risks are managed carefully. Instead, the last six months have seen rapid and wasteful changes which have undermined our mission and caused catastrophic impacts on NASA's workforce. We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. These cuts are arbitrary and have been enacted in defiance of congressional appropriations law The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire. Our Shared Commitment to Dissentin� Opinions We share a commitment to dissenting views in accordance with NASA Policy Directive 1000.0C, NASA supports full and open discussion of issues of any nature (e.g., programmatic, institutional), including alternative and divergent views. Diverse views are to be fostered and respected in an environment of integrity and trust with no suppression or retribution. (NPD 1000.0C, Section 3.5.5) Employees across the agency have raised concerns about recent actions to NASA leadership, yet we remain pressured to implement harmful measures. We choose to write to you directly because: (I) as Interim Administrator, you are the final step in the chain of Technical Authority, and (2) the issues we raise are agency-wide, rather than project-specific. As defined in NASA Procedural Requirement 7120 5F, Formal Dissent is "a substantive disagreement with a decision or action that an indiv…

• We dissent to changes to NASA's Technical Authority capacities that are driven by anything other than safety and mission assurance. The culture of organizational silence promoted at NASA over the last six months already represents a dangerous tum away from the lessons learned following the Columbia disaster. Changes to the system of Technical Authority, as suggested would be made in the June 25th NASA Town Hall, should be made only in the interests of improving safety, not in anticipation of future budget cuts. • We dissent to the closing out of missions for which Congress has appropriated funding because it represents a permanent loss of capability to the United States both in space and on Eatlh. Once operational spacecraft are decommissioned, they cannot be turned back on. Additionally, cancelling missions in development threatens to end the next generation of crucial observations. • We dissent to implementing indiscriminate cuts to NASA science and aeronautics research because this will leave the American people without the unique public good that NASA provides. Basic research in space science, aeronautics, and the stewardship of the Earth are inherently governmental functions that cannot and will not be taken up by the private sector. Furthermore, NASA has a nearly threefold return on investment in economic activity, and supports national security by ensuring the United States maintains its lead in science and technology. • We dissent to NASA's non-strategic staffing reductions because they will jeopardize NASA's core mission. Thousands of NASA civil servant employees have already been terminated, resigned or retired early, taking with them highly specialized, irreplaceable knowledge crucial to carrying out NASA's mission. • We dissent to canceling NASA participation in international missions because in doing so, NASA is abandoning America's allies. To date, 55 nations have signed on to the Artemis Accords, and withdrawing support from missions with our long-s…

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at the NIH and EPA who have released similar statements concerning the administration's actions at their respective agencies. We dedicate this letter to Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Dick Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon. Their legacies underpin every conversation about our shared commitment to safety and dissenting opinions at NASA.

NEW: Hundreds of NASA employees have filed a letter of formal dissent.

"We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire."

For anyone who is saying the comparisons to tech are off—ppl are bending over backwards to invest in this league. Follow the money.

Oh, I didn't realize people weren't aware of this! It's excellent, a fantastic deal, and there is SO MUCH on it. A good deal, too: $60/annually, $5/monthly. I get to talk about this a ton when I do my pledge gig for one of our local stations.

Been a bit since the last Finn update. He’s gonna be bigger than we thought…

TL;DR: PAY THEM.

Also? I’m not here to debate you about this. You spew your unsourced misogynistic nonsense here, and all it’s gonna get you is a swift block.

I cannot STAND watching the MNBA for all of the reasons you mentioned above. The women are just better fundamentally, and I enjoy it way more.

Just say you hate seeing women more successful than you that would never even bother with your “I’d be D1 if it wasn’t for my bad knee” ass.

And the growth is only going to continue. The NIL changes have allowed players to accrue massive followings before they even put on a college jersey, and they bring those eyes with them to the W. Juju Watkins’s face is everywhere and you think this isn’t going to keep growing?

These women want comparable revenue sharing. They want expanded rosters. What they’re asking for is completely reasonable based on the league’s growth and the new media deal coming with it.

No, your high school boys teams could not beat these women.

The NBA took decades to become profitable.

The Fever isn’t the only team doing numbers. In fact, the Valkyries, a first year team, are valued the highest.

Man, comment sections under ANY WNBA content never pass the vibe check. These dudes hate seeing successful female athletes getting their flowers. Lots to say for dudes that “never watch.” Might even call it fan behavior.
