The actual FBI using a Nazi-filled social media platform run by a far-right emboldening transphobe to debunk an unpublished story from a right-wing conspiracy theorist who recently platformed one of America's biggest antisemites.....perfectly sums up 2025

Right, it's not even about why vote for ACA now - it's still Epstein.

Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me…

What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head?

Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Yup.

The whole administration is a kind of propaganda against the entire world. Except most of the world sees through it. Just not half of Americans.

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Vinay Prasad began his campaign against the pediatric COVID vaccine months before there was any data about it. He also botched basic stats, falsely claiming that COVID only killed 1 in a million kids.

He now leads vaccine regulation at the FDA.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.

NOT Americans ~ a fucking ballroom.

Forgiveness from me will NEVER be.

If the IRBs coordinate to make mods, it will ofcourse be better than if PIs just decided to shorten the study. Similar mods happened during covid. Virtual visits for example.

I am so very, very sorry for what you have been forced to go through. I hope you finally find peace and recover from this hell.

I need one answer. Does compassion change anything in our lives? We need your support to stay alive. Please. We need your help these days more than ever.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

I am a Doctor & I Need Your Support.
The situation here is beyond words, truly unbearable.

People are dying from hunger, I am not exaggerating. Every single family here is in desperate need. Your help saves lives.

Sometimes, movements go crazy, out of control. You stand, stare, & try to understand. But you can't. It's not you. It's impossible. I stand & stare at today's mobilisation of hate & its slogans. I don't get it. It makes no sense. It's not me. It's impossible.
#GoodMorning, everyone

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.
