Bravo. Would be nice to see the WH correspondents do this.

Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C. Secretary Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health Agency leaders sound the alarm.

β€œWhen the C.D.C. was created in 1946, the average life expectancy in the United States was around 66 years. Today it is more than 78 years.”

Who wants to go backward? Raise your hand.

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

Didn’t the AP already win this lawsuit? Same song, same verse, little bit louder and definitely worse.

The thing about Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship is that the Epstein files contain Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring.

I’m sorry for your loss. I think about Judy Miller and what she and the NYT did all the time. It was unconscionable.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose β€œno” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

A podcast my company produced and edited made it into the top 100 on Apple! Stoked that several years of hard work paid off!

Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure?

You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation.

You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.
