Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.
Kerr County did not use its most far-reaching alert system in deadly Texas floods
Local officials used the system more than two days after the recorded height of the floods.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

I'm sorry for raining on this parade, but the "transgender mice" talking point is bullshit, but not because someone mistook "transgenic" for "transgender."

The blog post that kicked it off (from a partisan bullshit website) listed a number of papers testing the effects of sex hormones on animals.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Maybe the solution to the U.S. fentanyl problem lies on the demand side?

You learn about the rats in Psych 101 and then in Bio 201 and again in Organic chem. You learn about the rats that were kept in a cage with a cat. You learn what the rats taught us: stress alters your DNA… and you pass those changes on to your children. I’ve been thinking about those rats….

People who refer to every piece of discourse as “drama” when it’s bringing light to problematic behaviors and real issues will always be a red flag to me😀

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.

You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Amen to that.
I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

I’m thinking about federal income tax.

If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we?

Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

Unfortunately my nervous system can’t tell the difference between being held at gun point and simply living in the United States rn.

Elon Musk is "unelected" and "unvetted" and has "absolutely no security clearance," yet Trump is letting him "gut" USAID and Treasury, says Rep Don Beyer. "It's a huge gift to China and Russia."

On the pod, Rep Beyer explains why legal action can still stop Musk:
