November 3, 1957: They kissed her nose and told her she was a good girl. A few days earlier, one of them had even taken her home to play with his children; he later said he'd wanted to do something nice for her, knowing what was in store. 1/9

Bill Cassidy failed our country by voting to confirm an anti-science conspiracy monger to head HHS. Millions of children will eventually come to harm because he allowed RFK Jr to lie his way into that appointment. Bill reneged on the Hippocratic oath, and that will be his legacy.

Love me some Mayor Pete, but man A1 is the fastest way to ruin a prime ribeye.
Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

That's where we stand today, one month after DOGE began posting its wall of receipts.
For all that time, the biggest "receipt" on the wall has always been wrong.

If Tarantino was right about anything it was this: it’s not possible to watch Chungking Express without getting a crush on Faye Wong.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”
There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Call me old fashioned, but I pine for the halcyon days of yore when government employees - even “special” ones - couldn’t wear clothing bearing political slogans while in a government office or building. #HatchActViolation
Musk: I should say we will make mistakes. We won't be perfect. But when we make a mistake we'll fix it quickly. So for example with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled briefly was Ebola prevention.
