While others have been talking about it, I’ve actually been doing the work.

When Donald Trump sent ice and the National Guard. I sued.

When the republicans got rid of gun permits, I passed a gun referendum.

I’ve been standing up. And now it’s time for us to stand together.

Election Day: May 5

States Move to Limit Access to H.I.V. Treatment

this will be a public health disaster.

We could end the transmission of HIV this year. That has been true for a decade. That we have not done so is a public policy choice.

Why prices won't drop after the Trump tariff ruling, according to economists The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's signature tariffs. But the president has other tariff tools, and consumers shouldn't expect cheaper prices anytime soon, economists say.

Economists say consumer prices are unlikely to fall despite a SCOTUS ruling limiting Trump’s tariff authority, as the regime quickly reimposed tariffs using other legal tools. Companies that already raised prices are unlikely to reverse them due to β€œprice stickiness,” even if some tariffs change.

There is something deeply wrong about turning the timing of a military strike, a terrorist attack, or someone’s death into a financial instrument.

We should not allow people to gamble on war or on human lives. Full stop.

Just to recap from my soda-straw perspective:
My government started a war of choice that led to my home being bombarded by missiles and drones depleting our air defenses which they refuse to resupply while telling us to evacuate after our airspace was shut because their war put us in danger

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

The same administration that removed historical testaments to Jackie Robinson and the Navajo Code Talkers has no problem with this new banner.

We have entered a dangerous new period of censorship and propaganda.

"Be Relentlessly Lethal ... Let your conduct be as professional as your aim is precise" has that very specific type of incongruous logic commonly found in text drafted by an LLM.

Melania Trump urges protecting children’s education at UN after Iran school strike The first lady’s UN security council speech came days after Iranian media reported an airstrike killed 165 people and injured 96 others at girls’ school

Um, question 1: Does "protect children’s access to education" include not killing them?

Question 2: Do you understand that 90% of your speech contradicts what your husband's admin does and says?

Lauren Boebert epitomizes MAGA -- talks tough, thinks she's so clever, and when called on her bullshit by someone who actually is tough as nails, starts quivering and cowering. And then afterwards, struts and smirks as if she's won something.
