1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

The head of FEMA joked about not knowing hurricane season had started. Americans work too damn hard and pay too much to be governed by clowns. When lives are at stake, we need serious leadership, not punchlines.

President Biden was walking through the airport, and Americans who ran into him gave him handshakes and genuine warmth.
I love how he is humbled by admiration instead of demanding it.
This moment showcases his enduring connection with everyday Americans who support and care for him.

It’s the world’s most deadly infectious disease. But it strikes the world’s most downtrodden and neglected, including here at home. So we turn our eyes.

New review of "Everything Is Tuberculosis" in the @nytimes.com, which calls the book "earnest and empathetic," which is really all I wanted it to be. (And also all I want to be.) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/b...
Book Review: ‘Everything Is Tuberculosis,’ by John Green
In a new nonfiction book, the Y.A. novelist describes the disease as a window into “the folly and brilliance and cruelty and compassion of humans.”

Democrats cannot give a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk to continue their destruction of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
