"Just following orders."

Indeed.

Push back on the "twenty pound loss" before you can have surgery. That's ridiculous and not based in real medical science, just fat-phobia from poorly trained doctors.

This has been my experience.

It's true. Those Costco lines are insane now.

I only go to the Baby Target for one prescription, and then walk out.

As is NPR a lot of the time.

Exactly. The moment you cross him, it's you, and/or your loved ones, on a plane to El Salvador. Pam Bondi won't even bother to comment publicly. They'll deny it happened.

You know why Republican politicians stay silent while Trump tells an outrageous lie about Ukraine starting the war with Russia? Because Republican politicians – at every level of government – are traitors to democracy.

This. Right in the video. Then the laughter.

Any snippet from today's press conference - and the fact the AP was barred from the press pool despite a court order - confirms that Trump and this administration have assumed full Authoritarian Dictator mode.

Your move, Congressional Republicans.

That's a great companion to "enshittification"! Congratulations! (And, indeed, enough with the assumptions that there's *any* subtext or larger plan.)

FINALLY, indeed! Let's hope all the other universities stand up as well. (Looking at you, Northwestern-without-a-Bluesky-account.)

Welcome back!

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

All I remember from the Rutgers college tour was the phrase "and I'll fight you on that" used as punctuation.

So this makes complete sense.

Has anyone done a YouTube compilation of all the clips? I need some levity in my life.

This will forever be what I see when someone says "folding chair treatment." It is the standard for all other chair treatments.

By 30. Plus the luxury high rise.

Commence the brain drain. I'll help.

"Going to"? Already done!

It's excellent.

Lies, damn lies, and basic math.

Seriously. This is an elementary-level math calculation dressed up with variables and sheer nonsense. I would not be surprised if they used ChatGPT to create it.

It's always worth watching John Lithgow. It's especially worth watching it now.

March on Saturday, April 5th. Flood the zone. Dominate the conversation. There are more of us than of them.

To be fair, he probably thought she was Noem. Or Habba. (So hard to tell them all apart.)

I'm a big fan of crowdsourced google docs to organize opposition to authoritarianism. This is a good one.

Will all due respect, Senator: using the phrase "under my leadership" is the biggest indicator that you are no longer fit for leadership. You have a "concept of leadership." A Gulf of Leadership.

You do not have the skillset this country needs at this moment in history. Step down.

Yes, because "sitting out as protest" worked SO well in the last presidential election. This isn't high school.

Dude, this is the same message being peddled by Dem leadership for decades now. It has never worked.

*They* aren't affected. *They* have everyone else's money. What happens to the everyone else isn't of concern.

Why is this scene from 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' suddenly hot? Anyone? Anyone? Recent economic news has sparked new interest in an iconic scene from a great film about 1980s Chicago.

For real. Better educated than most Congressional Republicans and the Executive branch.
