agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

graphic in the mamdani font/colors saying: CALL YOUR SENATORS and TELL THEM NO SHUTDOWN DEAL WITHOUT ACA FUNDING 202-224-3121

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

if your senator is a Democrat, call even if you're sure they won't fold

when the democratic caucus meets before a possible vote, they'll be able to report that voters are angry

Could the next McDonald’s world menu heist please include some of the Indian menu items because

Holy shit they really unloaded on the fucker

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

How a ‘one and done’ gene-editing treatment could lower cholesterol A cutting-edge medical experiment in a small trial has demonstrated the effectiveness of a one-time CRISPR gene editing treatment in lowering cholesterol levels

A small group of people with high cholesterol that didn’t respond to conventional drugs saw major improvements in two key heart disease risk factors after receiving a single gene-editing treatment at the highest dose, a new study found.

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him

His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary

There’s also Quinn Harberl, a blind protester in Portland who they dragged by his feet.

Multiple agents grabbed the 4 foot 6 man and dragged him, nearly smashing his head into the ground

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

They went into this terrorized community to incite people. And pepper sprayed an infant. There is no level of depravity these people won’t sink to.

ICE agent in Chicago draws and trains a firearm on protestors armed with iPhones. Trump's America in 2025.

OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Everything else aside, Bill Gates has historically looked like a tech CEO should. Dorky sweater vests. Bad haircuts. None of this leather jacket and combat sports shit. How am I supposed to believe you're busy inventing when you're always getting fresh botox?

To understand JD Vance, you need to meet the “TheoBros” These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.

I think I would move to a remote part of Alaska rather than give a quote to the New York Times about how great it was to get a hug from a robot.

The voices of SNAP Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court.

Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.”
