I hate that it matters more today β I mean specifically, today β than it ever has before. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state.
But they donβt get a serious seat at the table to decide how theyβre governed.
D.C. statehood now.

Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.
This is insane!

This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administrationβs βclimateβ purge.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA thatβs illegal.

I've asked Major League Baseball's Vice President of Communications if Major League Baseball has any comment on the DoD erasing Jackie Robinson's page from the site and changing the URL to "DEI Sports." I'll update this story if and when the league weighs in. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now
Meanwhile...
Repeating "executive orders are not laws" really loudly and over and over seems like a useful endeavor
