dental care is health care

PENNSYLVANIA voted to KEEP their Democratic justices!

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

Lowering age limits equates to lowering standards. Or, high-school seniors with guns and an arrest quota is not how you do legitimate law enforcement. www.thebulwark.com/p/prepare-yo...

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices....

ICYMI: Amazon still doing Amazon things

Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2, 2020. She was charged by Trump’s DOJ the same day.

Joe Biden did not become president until January 20, 2021.

Do not let these Cons change the past.

jesus fockin christ

we are living in panem

Never in my lifetime:

This is going to hit a lot of Americans hard.

The price of lifesaving drugs is about to spike because of Trump’s tariffs.

An inevitable stand-off created by this Court’s distorted interpretation of the 14th Amendment to require colorblindness. How can a legislature could draw districts that don’t violate the Voting Rights Act w/o looking at race? It can’t be done. But the Court’s rightwing could not care less.

The Felon isn’t dumb, he just doesn’t care

The Epstein Saga Is Not a Game. It’s About Protecting Women. Donna Ladd reflects on her own story amid the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein saga of rape, retribution and the protection of sexual predators.

DEMOCRACY: "I do understand why women are afraid to come forward. I didn’t call the cops on my rapist, and I’ve never named him publicly. It’s sure the hell not because I’m protecting him. I’m protecting myself," Donna Ladd writes.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

adulting is so weird. sometimes you wake up at 4am and actually feel like making breakfast

Social media post: Making it harder to qualify for and stay enrolled in Medicaid or subsidized ACA coverage, the 2025 budget reconciliation act represents the largest rollback of health insurance coverage in U.S. history. Joshua Reed Eakle Hey @grok, Which party has actually achieved results in lowering the deficit and national debt? Answer in one word only. Grok Democrats @JoshEakle @grok same question and guidelines now do since the year 2000. You know when we accumulated all the debt. Grok Democrats.

We know. Grok Knows.
Everyone else should know.

Social media post: Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social 16 million people are losing their healthcare and hospitals are already closing because of it but it's a win because one of the bottom tier fast food restaurants is going to start selling the same Mexican Cokes that you can already get at literally every store Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy MAHA is winning. @SteaknShake Starting August 1, Steak n Shake will offer Coca-Cola with real cane sugar in glass bottles.

A guy celebrating and promoting sugar as a way to make America healthy is the country's health secretary. Next up is liquor for liver health and donuts for core strength.

"Our current system is broken" - VP Harris on her decision not to run as Governor of California.

Let them eat cake.

you can’t make this shit up

This is an object lesson in the importance of force and violence in politics. ICE is able to flaunt the law because they're willing to use both. Until members of Congress start showing up with breaching teams and armed security, the law is irrelevant. Just a piece of paper.

Wolff: We can chart a continued friendship between these two men through flight manifests, photographs, phone calls

This relationship that Trump claims ended in 2000 actually demonstrably continued until at least 2005.

It’s that period in which most of the allegations against Epstein took place.

And here I was thinking the way to solve hunger was food.

The world must know what we did to Andry Hernández Romero

The Smithsonian bending the knee by removing President Amber Alert’s name from an exhibit about impeachment makes sense when you realize the also have a healthy history of rampant theft in order to maintain their brand

the US Dept of Energy tweeted a photo of coal with little sparkles photoshopped on and the words She's an icon She's a legend And she is the moment ✨

they wanna fuck coal now

The Secretary of the Interior hasn’t heard about batteries.
