I need to clean before I lose a dog!

(don’t panic - I saw him find each one - the bottle was empty the adapter was not plugged in and he dropped the soap immediately when told)

1/5. The way Trump, Trump Jr, Tuberville, and Hannity are talking now about Greenland, Mexico, Panama, and Canada plagiarizes Putin in 2013, before the first invasion of Ukraine.

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

around 42% of all marriages end in divorce. that is a very high regret rate for people committing to life changing decisions. the state should do something, ultimately we should ban marriage entirely

@mjtoma.bsky.social has also written a widely read story that took off before the Bluesky boom, so please give this a read if you missed it: newrepublic.com/post/188197/...

Last night Trump surfaced unexpectedly, like the shark in Jaws, to make a major announcement: The trade war against Mexico, Canada, and China—our three biggest trading partners—starts on Day One.

Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

The actual reason the “Bluesky is an echo chamber” thing is intensifying is because “free speech” thinkers are mostly just conservative Republicans and they don’t want to talk about the next president’s well-established belief that people shouldn’t be allowed to criticize him

New to Bsky. Love it so far @chrislhayes.bsky.social was my second follower (HUGE fan btw - allin with pod both books!) nervously waiting for him to unfollow me when he realizes I’m not the senator’s wife 😔.

Bond villan #1 is out

Do you think if the report DIDNT say Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for rape, the GOP would vote no on releasing?

Hmmm

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead … “DOGE” Dept of Govt Efficiency ?!?!?
