Now that Mikie Sherrill has resigned from Congress, the race for her seat is heating up.

The incomparable @jlcauvin.bsky.social has thrown his faux MAGA hat into the NJ 11 ring!

Whatever other qualities he may bring to DC, him staying in character would be gold.

A year ago, flyers promoting vaccines were prevalent across the Navajo Nation.

But as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put his stamp on federal immunization policy, the Indian Health Service’s messaging on immunizations has taken a stark turn.

By @maryhudetz.bsky.social
The Indian Health Service Is Flagging Vaccine-Related Speech. Doctors Say They’re Being Censored.
Officials have deemed terms like “immunizations” and “vaccines” risky “buzzwords” that require approval to be used in social media posts, pamphlets and presentations.

For-profit corporations are monsters
They're not a natural man
Only about $s Roblox
be pro-predators seeking to harm children
Leaving your child to scream
If I were president of this land
you know I'd declare
total outlaw of the for-profit corporate man

Infamous as the sleepy Don.
Not president. Not Donald. Just Trump. 🤣
Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

And that's why God invented speed bumps. If i had a nickel for ever parent who hit those first speed bumps on Lakeside in CM...They used to literally launch from the speed bump. The city took it down finally cause the neighbor next to it complained. The earth shaking was breaking his sheetrock.
It's almost as if people are *somehow* already aware of their speed, and are affirmatively choosing to exceed the limit.
In today’s least surprising local news, speed display signs aren’t enough to make our roads safer.

A good reminder that Trump does not know american history nor understand american law.
Jackson’s famous opening statement was 63 pages long. Luckily, Nuremberg with Russell Crow excerpted a few key paragraphs the present the forceful moral principle.
Justice Robert H. Jackson, a Supreme Court Justice and the chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremberg, established the modern doctrine that individuals are legally accountable for unlawful acts even if committed under orders—a principle that underpins today’s U.S. military law and the Nuremberg Principle IV

The economist view on how terrible Donald Trump‘s peace plan is . Just as in Afghanistan he’s abandoning an ally of the United States . He should be impeached www.economist.com/leaders/2025...
Donald Trump’s peace plan would be bad for Ukraine, Europe and America
It is a sad mix of naked opportunism and strategic myopia
