Imagine having the cognitive dissonance to not only create, but proudly and publicly share a graphic with a giant red X through the FEMA logo. Federal agencies are literally being decimated & the field of emergency management will lose critical funding, but hey, at least you got some attention!

@liaoffleash.bsky.social good morning, Lia. In your 23andMe article, in the 8th graph you mention “GedMatch… began selling at-home testing kits…” GedMatch is not a testing provider and doesn’t sell tests. They help users analyze their DNA matches and provide data tools for those who have taken tests

This struck me as the perfect distillation of JD Vance. He is a shockingly incurious and unserious guy who has faked his way into the center of power and now thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.
Still processing the fact that Zelensky asked Vance “Have you ever actually been to Ukraine?” and his response was that he’s watched and seen some videos.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we
would’ve spent that $$:
🏈Purchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year.
Tell Congress to youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

According to NYT: ““The pardons will also wipe the slate clean for violent offenders who went after the police on Jan. 6 with baseball bats, two-by-fours and bear spray and are serving prison terms, in some cases of more than a decade.”
Trump: "So this is January 6. And these are the hostages. Approximately 1,500 for a pardon. Full pardon."
