RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
It’s cowardice.

Maybe quit voting for their fucking bills then? Maybe quit confirming their nominees? Maybe shut down the Senate with the many procedural tools available to you? Maybe do something other than send sternly worded letters?
Sen. Padilla thrown to the ground, manhandled, brutally taken down, handcuffed
It's disgusting
Reeks of totalitarianism
Un-American
Not what democracies do
Sen. Padilla was in that building to ask questions of what's going on in California, doing his duty to his constituents
We need answers now

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

In 2023, the U.S. spent approximately $1.35 trillion on healthcare administration. That’s more than we spent on:
•Physician salaries (~$350B)
•Nursing salaries (~$335B)
•Retail prescription drugs (~$450B)
•Imaging, lab tests, EHRs, and outpatient procedures combined

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

There's a reason the White House didn't reveal the text of the "agreement" when making their big press splash announcing their agreement: It's a cup of tea without the bag.
Congrats to the journos who breathlessly reported on a US-UK deal that isn't. You got played (again).

It's a "deal," not a deal:

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war."
We didn't come close to holding them accountable.
We're seeing the cost of that now.

For over a half-century now, the central, unflagging message of RW media has been simple: "Dems are bad."
Meanwhile, the main message Dems have propagated about Republicans is, "we respect our colleagues across the aisle, let's work together," etc.
It's not good branding.

The thing about that Murkowski interview is, she could at any time huddle with like-minded GOP colleagues to help impeach and remove him for the multitude of crimes he’s already committed. I can guarantee she’s not the only one in their party who wants off this ride. Time to choose a side, Lisa!
