Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

I wish I could say I was surprised. Or even disappointed. Numb seems to be the right descriptor at this point.

America has never been more divided in my lifetime.

I’m for the side that believes in the rule of law, science, reproductive rights, free & fair elections, secure war plans, not tanking the economy or illegally deporting American citizens.

I can’t believe there’s a side that doesn’t.

Late to the party, but…
“Hello Wisconsin!”

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion

Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

At least egg prices have dropped along with my 401(k). Oh, wait. Fuck.

Another strong woman speaks

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

Tell us!

Bluesky is so much better than Twitter.

That's the post.

Release the report!

Since we’re all talking about Greenland and Canada now would be a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico and Washington, DC actually should be added as the 51st and 52nd states.

Watching a person with temp plates on their new EV plug into the only DC charger in the town you’re visiting right as you pull into the parking lot and praying they know to only charge to 80%… 🤞

A “territorial extension”? What the fuck, CNN???

At least the Bruins did their part to ensure Buffalo didn’t sweep this weekend against Boston teams.

What the hell? Was there more of a backstory to this?

🚨🚨Just 2 days after the 12 year anniversary of Sandy Hook and we have another school shooting this time in Madison, WI. Now 3 kids will never come home from school again, it’s time #EndGunViolenceNow we don’t have to live like this. Enough is enough!

This sounds disgusting! What exec at Heinz actually approved this?

Just finished Senna on Netflix. Of course I knew how it ended, but I cried anyway. Worth a watch if you’re a Formula One fan. #Senna

I agree, three hundred and sixty billion percent.

As an all-EV family, I really hope they succeed.

Sigh…

I’m good with this!
