Shallow thinker who spends too much time wonderin’ where the lions are, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, where to find a quality second breakfast, how is it bigger on the inside, and what kind of mileage do you get on a Krebs cycle?
These studies are horrific, morally wrong, ethically wrong, and they aren’t even good science. What the hell are these researchers thinking?

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

If Trump claims he wants Republicans to vote to release the files now because he has nothing to hide, why doesn’t he just release the files today? Why did he order his AG many months ago not to release them? Why did he threaten Rs who signed the petition?

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

The “I-don’t-want-to-hear-about-the-affordability” line (like the ballroom renderings, the Gatsby party, the feces/fighter jet video) must be like catnip for the oppo research archivists.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

PHILLY

I stepped out to walk across Philly last night and get a sense of things. City Hall always captures me here, Philadelphia has maintained its European layout and much of its early architecture.

Vance obviously figured out in 2022 that his only path to the Senate was to go full MAGA and lean hard into the dickishness of the movement for the new persona he created. But deciding that there is no limit to how far you will go in your awfulness is certainly a choice.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
