what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

States are often called the laboratories of democracy, but Florida is on the path to becoming a petri dish.

Still A+

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

I guess the Republicans that say “states rights” mean that one state can interfere with another state’s medical providers. This is crazy!

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported.

In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

ok but it would be legit hilarious if he used the space force

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL. This is the most egregious and dangerous thing Kennedy has done yet to remove access to #vaccines. (It’s also what that I & many others explicitly predicted & feared before he was confirmed.) He can now fill this CDC committee w anti-vaccine people. 1/n

“Maybe he’s a wunderkind. Maybe he’s Doogie Howser and has everything at 21 years old, or whatever he is, to lead the office. But that’s not likely the case,” said one counterterrorism researcher. “It sounds like putting the intern in charge.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

DOGE was a smash and grab robbery of our personal data.

Remigration = Remove migrants.
No more a melting pot country. Sad!

All the puns with her name is just a small reason to support her. Her vision for Sandy Springs, GA to manage its growth is the way all city leaders should emulate.

The many big things Trump ‘didn’t know’ about

Yes, a spineless Republican from Georgia. The 6th district has been drawn so that only Republicans can win it so McCormick won’t say anything bad about Trump.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

A projection on the outside of the Old North Church reading "Let the WARNING ride forth ONCE MORE: TYRANNY is at OUR DOOR"

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

Trump’s EPA Plans to Stop Collecting Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data From Most Polluters Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said.

The old Republican Party of low taxes and free trade is gone. I’m not sure why anyone would support them unless they are purposely ignorant.

School vouchers are just a different form of racial discrimination. This story supports that contention.

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES.

Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now... because the assumption is in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts."
