Because that's the whole thing, right there. It's all the levels.

Because we all know that "higher prices and reduced consumer choice" kills WAY more people than polluted air and scorching temperatures.

The part of the film where the villain admits to his whole plan without realizing he's being recorded, only here that's the whole idea.

whatever else republican house speaker mike johnson (and the congressional republicans who serve under him) ever do in this life, this headline will last forever and ever, for their whole blessed lives.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Science and Democracy Under Siege Documenting Six Months of the Trump Administration’s Destructive Actions

We are six months into the second Trump administration and the scale and severity of its assault on our nation's science and democracy has been unrelenting.

Today, @ucs.org releases a detailed assessment of the damage so far and where we go from here: www.ucs.org/resources/sc... #ProtectScience

Yeah, that's what I said.

Rancho Gordo beans are the best!!

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

" How does the president get out of this mess?" It's completely bizarre and amoral that this is the question the Washington Post talking heads are asking. Are they his lawyers? His press team?

Please Shout Fire. This Theater Is Burning The United States is being destroyed from within, and mainstream journalism isn't making that clear. When I was a kid, there was a popular phrase--"what if they had a war and no one came?" What if we ...

It's when you assemble the whole picture that you have to raise the question if the intention is to destroy this country and whether this country is in fact being destroyed.

FEED ME, SEYMOUR!

"Radical approach" to what? Being an asshole?

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

It is a crisis.

They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.

Really would love to see how much time Noem spent on or preparing to be on television over the last week versus time spent doing the job.

If today’s New York Times editors had been working in London in 1888, they would’ve said Jack the Ripper was “testing societal norms“ and “straining the bounds of propriety.”

I encourage everyone to read this letter.

Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

No lies told here.

Trump announces 50 percent tariff on Brazil, citing Bolsonaro trial Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on all Brazilian goods, escalating a feud over Brazil’s prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Brazil vowed to retaliate.

Trump is issuing tariffs under a faux emergency decree concerning US trade deficits (which have existed since the 1970s). But the US has a trade surplus with Brazil. How can Trump possibly justify these tariffs before the courts? www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The United States and Brazil appeared to have launched a sudden trade war on Wednesday.

Trump writes one of the most unhinged letters ever produced by an American president, demanding the right to interfere with Brazil’s case against Bolsinaro and threatening huge tariffs if they don’t let him walk free, and this your lede?

Pointing it out.

Shouting it out.

Outing it as a violation.

It matters.

Don’t let it slink by.

That’s the road to normalization.

Their stupidity is truly colossal.

A video about the Declaration of Independence. I'm proud of this one.

“Republicans killed health care.” Don’t over complicate it.

It's up to us to make sure everyone knows they won't feel the bad stuff for a couple years, specifically because Republicans planned it that way so people will think the bill was good and vote for them again. Warn people it's coming.

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.
