Here's a riddle: one country has a dictator with no real elections, the other one doesn't. Which is which?

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

As measles outbreak rages in Texas, RFK Jr. pushes anti-vaccine message The largest measles outbreak Texas has seen in over 30 years is sweeping through the western part of the state.

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates.

RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Firing 168 National Science Foundation employees is a devastating loss of expertise and institutional knowledge, especially at an agency that contributes so much valuable research on everything from public health to our national defense.

“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again.” - Donald Trump

Day 24:

A meme featuring Bart and Homer from "The Simpsons." The text discusses a proposal to acquire Greenland and rename it, with Bart exclaiming, "THIS IS THE STUPIDEST DAY IN AMERICA," and Homer responding, "THE STUPIDEST DAY IN AMERICA SO FAR”.

I got nothing for this.

The CFPB has returned $20 BILLION to Americans harmed by scammers, predatory lenders, and big banks.

Trump and Elon want to dismantle the CFPB and open the door for bad actors to rip off consumers without consequence.

We won't stand for it.

Tell me you're redlining without telling me you're redlining

It warms my heart that the team who won't visit the White House beat the team who kissed his ass.

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.”

— Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

UPDATE: My colleagues and I were locked out of the Dept. of Education and denied a meeting with Acting Secretary Carter.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Please Participate If You Can. Kindly Repost! 💙😎

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.

Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

Welp, there you have it. The "sin of empathy."
