If the Trump White House wants to ban all transgender people from owning guns because a handful were responsible for mass shootings, wait until they hear how many shootings straight cis white guys have done.

“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of?
The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”

Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."

Assuming the assassin’s list going around is real, it really goes to show how local and state officials are our friends and neighbors. On the list are several state legislators who I have personal connections to: my neighbor, a high school classmate, a college classmate’s mom.

Seeing a lot of confusion in the comments about why he’s only charged with 2nd degree murder. To clarify, in MN, prosecutors can charge up to 2nd degree right away, then have to ask for grand jury approval to charge 1st degree. That is a separate step that will definitely happen.

Only like 20 pages into @abbottkahler.bsky.social’s new nonfiction book, Eden Undone, and I already want to shake Dore. She is the friend who wants to convince you how great her boyfriend Friederich is. And you have to break it to her that he is an utter psychopath, not a misunderstood genius.

A lack of comms, that alway goes well. 🙄
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

Fun game Walgreens like to play with me: what if we just turn off auto refills for your daily meds at random times? Enjoy a little spike of anxiety to really check if those meds are working.
