THREAD: The FDA has made it difficult to find where medications are made. Today we're changing that with our latest tool.

With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections.

Here's how you can use it. 1/

Kathy Hochul is in the pocket of corporate polluters, selling New Yorkers out so she can cash a check. It’s time we turn the page on establishment politicians and invest in a green future for our state.

I was already leaning toward hostility vs the mainstream media after Whitewater and the Gore campaign but the Iraq war is what tipped me into complete loathing. It’s been tough watching as liberalism still largely trusts and elevates the press even as the press aids fascists. Please stop.

The Epstein emails have damaged Trump beyond repair, because the public has now seen the gross moral rot behind Trump's presidency and the elites who prop it up (and fawned over a convicted sex creep)

Take your money out of AI and into pitchforks. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/epst...
Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables.

Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine.

Is this why?

The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Any Democratic senator, at any moment, could've derailed this by calling for Schumer's replacement and casting their colleagues as MAGA collaborators, thereby shifting the Overton window. But they're all in on it. This was always a team effort.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

i really hate the notion that has taken hold that bush is not responsible for the shit bush did as president. yes, cheney was his advisor and wingman and his soul is soaked with the blood of iraqis and americans, but at the end of the day bush was the decider.

If Democrats shy away from progressive positions to please Fox News, Fox News just says they’re left wing radicals anyway. So the voters they’re chasing turn away and the younger progressive voters are turned off too. The consultants make a lot of money though!

Steve Bannon claims Trump will have a third term in 2028.

He's wrong. He's trying to get under your skin and demoralize you, so you'll give up. Don't let him. He doesn't deserve your anxiety.
Please Stop Listening to Steve Bannon
He isn't worth the trouble.

back in 2008 one candidate had the support of the party establishment while another had the support of actual voters. one candidate, the underdog, hustled, while the establishment candidate surrounded themselves with yes men and women who assured them the nomination was theirs.

really seems like @govpritzker.illinois.gov is talking out of both sides of his mouth. either step in or stop pretending.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

I think we should also ridicule Miller here, not fear him. His fascist cosplay is absurd. He thinks tweeting in a clipped, military-sounding tone will frighten us. Oooo, he said "utilized"! Scary! Meanwhile their efforts to prosecute foes are imploding in buffoonery and Trump is polling in the 30s.
After Miller tweeted that calling ICE is "incitement to violence," I directly asked Bannon if this means the government will be unleashed on groups that describe ICE that way. "Yes," Bannon told me, adding that Miller is "in charge." You can read that exchange in this link: bsky.app/profile/greg...
