If we did a fraction of the research into our candidates for elected office as we did for our fantasy football teams, we would have the government we desperately need.

He could be right though. Never overestimate this electorate.
Donald Trump said he’d beat George Washington in an election if he were alive today.
Donald doesn’t even rank in C-SPAN’s top 10 best presidents.
Obama does though.

This is what has me so crazy about Kash Patel. Everyone has jumped right to the merits of Patel and no one has even paused to say, “Presidents don’t get to fire the FBI director without paying a huge political price.”
There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in.
Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world.
People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks.
This reality has not set in yet.

Local Sinclair stations carrying water for RFK Jr by fear mongering about “chemicals and pesticides” in schools lunches. Remember the reaction when Michelle Obama wanted healthier school lunches?

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

This is always wrong. Including when it REPEATEDLY happened to each of us who opposed Trump. Including swatting attempts to my house. Including requiring security details.
None of these folks spoke up to condemn that then. Speaker Johnson was silent.

Science supports the positive benefit of the #HPV #vaccine
More than 14 million girls were fully immunised with HPV vaccine with Gavi support in 2023 – more than the prior 10 yrs combined (with over 605,000 future cervical cancer deaths averted between 2014 and 2023).

Crop protection saves crops, stabilizes food prices, and prevents hunger - but you rarely notice.

Here’s the key line about Matt Gaetz:
“She was a high school student and there were witnesses.”
How can anyone possibly vote to confirm Gaetz to anything — let alone to be the top LAW ENFORCEMENT official in America?
