That’s exactly what this is about.
Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

Oh, ok…if you have left science, how is your career platformed on some pretty serious science? Feel free to de-platform. 😵‍💫

Listen, Republicans aren't just passing some tax cuts, and they're not just destroying Medicaid to do it.

They're cramming through a laundry list of partisan goals that will upend all parts of the government and harm families and communities in all sorts of ways.

It's one big, bullshit bill... 🧵

Feeling so much better now that we cleared that up. How many dolls and pencils does that add up to? 🙄

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

You don’t say, Chief Justice Roberts?

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

“I never thought the leopards would eat MY judiciary.”

Red light saber! Major self-own. This is just the kind of thing a Sith Lord would say. ‘We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.’ The Rebel Alliance taught us well.

The Supreme Court is about to let religion ruin public education Two recent cases suggest that the era of secular schools is coming to an end.

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

Wow…and microplastics?

Well take the libertarian stopped clocks, but they need to build a coalition to stop the legislative harm. We know all of this, but what are the GOP and Senator Paul going to do about it?

Hope the money is worth it for the corporate owners. Redstone?

That’s the classic whataboutism tactic we see so often. The point is, rather, that every person deserves the protection of their rights. And in no way is Abrego Garcia proven to be a gang member; he in fact had protected status to escape gangs. I imagine he is really struggling right now.

Adorable. And a lovely pic.

Exactly…the world is a diverse place; this is the right thing to do as well as good business.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Son Arrives After ICE Refuses to Let Him Attend Birth (Gift Article) Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present.

“This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Seriously, what is up with Mace. Someone needs to find out. Vote her out, South Carolina, glad this was filmed so folks can see how unhinged she is. Something’s not right with her, such an extreme behavioral change in the past few years.

Instead of cutting health care, education, environmental protections, and public services like child care, they should be funding them. And reducing if not eliminating the extreme separation of wealth in the US. Support and a bright future are what make most people want to be parents, not a medal.

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Noted, dissenters.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

The Librarians is a must-see documentary about the recent history of book banning in the US

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

The drama is the point:

Well, that answers that question:
