Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

What makes Bluesky different: it’s open source, so anyone can contribute to building the experience they want. And even if you build a whole new app, the protocol means you can migrate with your data, identity, and relationships intact.

The eternally-great thing about open source: if something doesn't exist, and the devs don't have time to work on it themselves, you can just implement it for them!

If they decide not to take it as-is, you've still helped explore the design space.

And if they don't accept it, but you need it, fork!

Nextstar & SInclair are as much to blame for this attack on free speech as Trump and the FCC Chair. Nexstar is helping Trump attack Kimmel so it can get a merger approved. Sinclair all-in on right wing extremism so it's demanding Kimmel apologize for this joke & also donate to Kirk's org.
1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC.

If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

Keep in mind that Kimmel’s monologue did not mock Charlie Kirk, but pointed out how Trump was capitalizing on a murder to push a false agenda, and showed how Trump himself was more interested in his ballroom when asked about Kirk’s death. Framing this as “comments about Charlie Kirk” is a lie.

Could the FCC tell us exactly what rule Jimmy Kimmel violated?

Because I'd bet Mar-A-Lago that Fox News has violated it thousands of times.

Don’t let them tell you Jimmy Kimmel’s show was yanked because of his comments about the Charlie Kirk assassination. Two months ago, after Colbert’s show was cancelled, Trump posted: “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.” The Kirk thing is just a pretext. This is all part of their plan.

Look at the lines. 📉🏛️💔

➡️ 45 countries are autocratizing (vs. just 19 democratizing)

➡️ 38% of the world lives under autocratizing regimes

➡️ Only 6% lives in democratizing ones

As we brace for even higher building costs this year, the dream of #homeownership becomes even more distant for working Americans. In the midst of a #housingcrisis #congress must put America over party through #bipartisan action and stop this wave of extreme #tarrifs. Trump chaos = bad business.

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.

Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.

What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Today in #Boston we marched from the State House to Govt Center to #FaneuilHall (known as “The Cradle of Liberty”) to protest the chaotic and illegal takeover by #doge and #trump. America is not a business. The #USGovernment should be run for the people, by the people. 🇺🇸
