There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. "

I have a theory that RFK jr.'s proposed new guidelines on the covid vaccine (preventing most eligibility) is so that in case any MAGA types actually want to get it, they won't realize that insurance won't cover it, because they no longer have insurance.

Almost like they think you don’t need to understand science or medicine to MAHA. Oh I forgot, white men know everything already, especially rich, right wing ones.
This is yet another appalling choice

The new head of the CDC has no training in medicine and once helped Peter Thiel develop man-made islands floating outside U.S. territory
Jim O’Neill once proposed doing away with FDA's mandate of assuring new drugs are safe and effective, suggesting that could be done after they hit the market.

I hate that the world today has made me wish harm on people as much as it does; Trump and Putin together in the “Beast” , needed a couple rocket launchers aimed at it. Would have changed the world 1000% for the better. 😬

Trump is so pathetically thirsty for that Nobel Peace Prize. He hates that Obama got it. Let’s really get his blood pressure up by finding a way to give it to Biden.

Dear @leahlitman.bsky.social, I’m really enjoying your writing style but since every other paragraph in your book is giving me anxiety, I’m not sure how long it’s going to take to read the whole thing.

The death of Pope Francis is sad, but what I find even sadder is that all the articles/paeans about him start by lauding his humbleness, his caring for the poor, the oppressed, migrants, etc. Seems to me this should be the minimum expected of the Pope.

Who will be our Navalny? Where is that one who will lead the way? (And how fast will he [as it will surely be ‘he’] be disappeared?)
As much as the AOC/Bernie rallies are great, they really need a politician on the right to join them, though I can’t think of one who might fit the bill.

If Trump succeeds in revoking Harvard’s (and other universities’) tax-exempt status, I’m sure churches are next, right? Please?!

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill.
Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Gee, I seem to remember a presidential candidate vowing to go after companies that price gouge. Unfortunately it wasn’t the one who was elected.

Egg Prices: It’s Not Just Bird Flu. It’s Corporate Greed.
Food corporations are blaming bird flu for rising prices, but Cal-Maine pocketed $1 billion in profits before it saw a single outbreak.

Americans are free, in short, to disagree with the law but not to disobey it. For in a government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent or powerful, and no mob however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law.

Trump’s statement on the horrific air disaster at National Airport is puke-worthy. The most insincere statement of solace/sorrow I’ve ever heard and then an inappropriate political screed. Now, irresponsible speculation on the cause of the accident.
