the gap in moral character between MacKenzie Scott (who donated $7B) and her ex (who destroyed a great newspaper, has sucked up to Trump, and waged war against unions) is almost as vast as the gap in IQ between Tommy Tuberville and Doug Jones

Either we have a constitution, or we don’t.
If Trump can invade countries without any congressional approval without consequences, we definitively do not have a constitution.
We, the people, simply cannot allow him to get away with ruling lawlessly without consequences.

Three TechLords ghosts with money and a plan ….
Again, the only possible explanation is that MTG was recently visited overnight by three ghosts.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

The corrosive public health impact of RFK’s MAHA foolishness is not just being felt at the federal level, but also at the local level where his ideological soulmates are hard at work creating more business for local dentists.
All across the West, lawmakers are skipping over the will of voters and yanking fluoride from municipal water systems. My latest story for @highcountrynews.org takes a deep dive into the fight over fluoride in the age of MAHA.

I’m going to start a newspaper/site whose policy is “if it’s about AI, we’re not covering it, we don’t care and if you don’t then we are your new news home” and then I am going to make about ten million dollars three bucks at a time from the vast majority of people who absolutely do not care

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

Drones have once again paralyzed operations at Munich Airport.
On Friday evening, air traffic controllers halted all takeoffs and landings after reports of drones. According to Flightradar24, 17 flights had to be rerouted.

Gov’t should have four main purposes:
Defense, protecting citizens from attack
Economy, structuring a functional society
Education, pathways to advancement for citizens
Health, foundation for life to pursue everything else.
Donnie has defaulted on every one.
He provides zero "Common Good" for USA.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Lots of folks in the replies understandably/honorably saying progressives & liberals shouldn’t be imitating the GOP or pledging fascist acts too. I used to think like that too but sadly I don’t see any alternatives, the GOP doesn’t respond to strongly worded letters. You have to fight fire with fire
