As it should be. Trump will NEVER be eligible for a peace prize. There is justice in the world.

it has been said over and over but itโ€™s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

Iโ€™d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person Iโ€™ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone elseโ€™s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

โ€œ'Iโ€™ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'Iโ€™ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. Iโ€™ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Asheville was just insane. It was at a baseball field and people were stretched about a mile on the road waving signs - but when we marched to Pack Square and everyone converged - so many people! Everyone kind and smiling. I'm so proud of my city.

Comic book cover showing Captain America punching Hitler. Text reads, "Smashing thru, Captain America came face to face with Hitler..."

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier.

Trump isnโ€™t cutting waste and abuse. Heโ€™s cutting programs that help regular people - like Medicaid - to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. He only closes agencies that were stopping his rich friends bilk consumers.

Trade deficit is up.
Stock market is crashing.
Gas prices are rising.
Consumer confidence is down.
Grocery costs are soaring.

Trump is terrible at managing the economy.

Why? Because all he cares about is the billionaires. Not us.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

A Line By Line Analysis Of Trump's Youth Care Ban Executive Order A week after a flurry of executive orders, Trump is still signing orders to target the trans community. The latest, released Tuesday, tries to ban trans youth care nationwide.

1. Yesterday, Trump released a sweeping executive order designed to end transgender youth care. It uses unconstitutional means and dubious interpretations of old laws to threaten hospitals, parents, and providers.

I go line by line to help you make sense of it.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Iโ€™m a Polio Survivor. I Donโ€™t Want You to Get It. Polio is once again a public health threat in the United States. Grace is disappointed, though not surprised.

Since everyoneโ€™s finding old and new friends, take a moment to read my story, Iโ€™m a 32yo polio survivor because I was not vaccinated. Pass on my story, repeat it, tell it to any vaccine hesitate parent. No kid deserves vaccine preventable diseases
