I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Why are we (the US) purging our country of migrants?
Heck, most of us are migrant descendants.
It's a purge, y'all. It's ethnic cleansing. It's evil. It's stupid.

Hey, Florida…glad you voted for him?
Not only are the insurance companies saying bye-bye, but now Trump has decided you can wrestle with your hurricanes by yourself.
Oh, by-the-way, he’s shutting down the National Hurricane Center so you won’t know they’re coming.

If you’re looking for one thing you can do that’s cheap, easy, signals your disapproval of fascism and immediately helps vulnerable people: Wear a mask.
A lot of great people no longer can attend conventions or conferences or parties or concerts or all sorts of gatherings. Or they have to take risks to do so.
If only good indoor air quality was a priority. If only we could count on people to test, get vaccinated, wear masks as needed. 🧵

Bloomberg and (to my surprise) Axios launched Project 2025 trackers this week, connecting Trump's moves to the wildly unpopular manifesto. This is a really good opportunity for Democrats to run riot over this already plowed and seeded terrain and keep their grip on the Project 2025 narrative.

RFK Jr is crazy pants and should not be in charge of anything.
A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Remember how much righteous anger there was in Republican circles over this image of one (1) armed federal agent taking custody of (1) undocumented minor in order to reunite him with his father?
These are the images Republicans will soon be celebrating.
