My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

Congrats on voting for Trump to save on eggs. Now you’ve got $13 eggs, a fired wife, and kids who can’t even get a loan for their future. Worth it?

This person is _admitting on-air_ that she and her boss are violating a federal law that’s been in place for _a half-century_. That’s how stupidβ€”and radicalβ€”these people are. They’re dangerous extremists and scofflaws and they should be referred to in that fashion by journalists because it’s a fact.

Griffin: Secretary Hegseth has decided to immediately pull General Milley's security detail. Hegseth also ordered the new acting inspector general to conduct a review board to potentially strip General Milley of a star in retirement.. All highly unusual actions.

I cannot stress enough the importance of local/state elections, especially in these times. The AG I voted for did the right thing.

Just got off the phone with a medical provider who accepts Medicaid. Because they are shut out from the Medicaid portal, they might not be able to make payroll. They exclusively serve low-income Floridians.

Unlike Google, I will never EVER refer to it as the Gulf of America, that's just fucking stupid.

I think Democrats are are kind of waiting and hoping for an opening that will allow them to pile on Trump and drive his popularity lower. I think strategically it makes some sense because right now, it does feel like he’s implausibly popular.

We’re going to hear a lot more of THIS over the next four years.

β€œThe Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

β€œWell, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

β€œYep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

β€œβ€˜We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

β€œI needed to make a statement.”

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.

Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

I think it’s cute how Dan thinks an oligarch who owns him lock stock and barrel will stop doing something that’s become his calling card just because he’s asked nicely

It’s almost like the reverse of the Pottery Barn Rule, i.e. β€œIf you buy it, you don’t get to control it”...which shortens to β€œFAFO”

It’s possible but that would be more practical in swing districts instead of heavily Democratic ones.

Just an incredible, damning headline.

Shit ain’t gonna work. He wanted to be MAGA Soros and now he is. The Musk-backed Democrats will be slaughtered in the primaries.

Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?' Goldman Sachs warns sales from the most successful disease treatments are difficult to maintain.

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

CNN’s Abby Phillip: β€œI get the politics of blaming Democrats, but the practicality of it is Speaker Johnson decided to take a deal he had with Dems, throw it out the window, put another deal he did not negotiate with them on the table and it failed.” #MuskTrumpShutdown

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated.

MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans.

They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers.

Unacceptable.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.
