Shocked, I tell ya! #Not

We have no idea where Yglesias got his numbers but they’re wrong. This debate has for so long been plagued by numbers basically pulled out of thin air Right pic is from my and @adambonica.bsky.social’s response essay: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

This indictment is known as titty baby revenge.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Andy McCarthy: "The indictment almost fails as an indictment in that it doesn't give you notice of what Comey has actually done. But factually there's nothing there. So this smacks of wanting to put Comey through the process, which is what lawfare is."

Making America sick again.

Nobody has covered this, but this #GradPLUS cap is going to cause some #medicalschool to close, including some that just opened. I'm thinking schools in more rural areas, like satellite campuses of Michigan State and Medical College of Wisconsin in northern MI or central WI

I think we all know this is a fact.

NY Times Pitchbot@nytpitchbot.bsky.social

Some observer say yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling prohibiting nationwide injunctions against executive orders will empower future Democratic presidents. But once we have another Democratic president, the court will change its mind and high-powered law profs will just pretend it all makes sense.

Absolutely true!

David M. Perry@lollardfish.bsky.social

I get that it's fun to imagine what Democrats could do with the powers being granted to Republicans by the Roberts court, but I assure you that in the event of Democratic control of the federal government and in the event that blue states try to use said powers now, those powers will cease to exist.

“But, but, a Dem hurt my feelings.” Suck it up, bitches, it’s time to get our shit together!

Just going to put this here since the current administration doesn’t seem to care if your children get sick. RFK Jr and his psuedo-health dingbats will likely try to remove vaccines from the children’s recommended vaccine list. Download it and keep it handy, you may end up needing it later.

Facts have been spoken!

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

We should ALL sue his ass!

Whether Elon Musk is serious about leaving whatever the fuck he was doing, everyone should remember that in the early stages of DOGE, he and his teenage accomplices ransacked, copied, and absconded with almost every US citizen’s most private information. The largest crime spree in history.

Traitors.

BeSeriousUSA 🐝@beserioususa.bsky.social

Musk has PRETENDED to leave the federal government, but his malevolent minions are continuing to gather our SENSITIVE DATA with his sketchy AI. 🚩 The Department of Homeland Security feels more and more like a nefarious neo-Nazi organization now. 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 THREAD:

ALL OF THIS!

Dan Mitchell@danmitchell.bsky.social

They start out with a notion -- "Democrats are inept and corrupt," say -- and then mold reality to justify that notion. Whether the notion is correct or not doesn't matter: If you're still complaining about Democrats in the same breath as you're complaining about MAGA, you've lost the plot.

Same!

Simply by my steady volume, my refusal to nurture falsehoods, my insistence on calling out hypocrisy, and my intolerance to discrimination, I am probably forever altering the connection between us. I'm OK with this. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-bridge...

And yet, people like Jake Tapper and Jeff Bozo assist the enemy.

Neil deGrasse Tyson@neildegrassetyson.com

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

I was in a Michael’s Store yesterday, and found prices of things I would purchase pretty much the same.

A Michaels Arts & Craft manager reports When #Felon47 announced #TrumpTariffs fiasco with China Michaels instantly repriced everything in the store with a 30% price increase Her team had to reprice 30K items already IN the store NOT new inventory yet to be received MAGA Morons will never learn

History has its eyes on us!

This morning, the Supreme Court hears a landmark case on Birthright Citizenship. At stake? The 14th Amendment. The right to citizenship by birth. Pay attention. History is being made, right now.

RFK, Jr. has got to go.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

🔥 @alsobrooks.senate.gov to RFK JR: “You have been unable to answer specific questions. You are the wrong person for this job… and you just had the unmitigated gall to say China is ahead of 🇺🇸 in health care because they don’t have DEI.” (He denies it — so we included receipts👇🏽)

From an expert on the subject of Biden’s health.

Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com

I decided not to report on their “book.” But I will report on this shakedown. Trust is fragile. Enjoy the karma you worked so hard for. I was in Biden’s pool, he was fine. I wish these “authors” had 1/10th of his intelligence.

We no longer have a Government by, or for, the people.

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: Kennell Staten filed a complaint with HUD, saying he was denied an apartment for being gay — a complaint the agency had long taken seriously. Two days later, HUD informed him that it did not view allegations like his as subject to federal law. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

Sadly…

A Republic If You Can Keep It@arepublicif.bsky.social

We spend $800 billion a year on our military yet our greatest enemy lives in the White House and we fly him to his own golf course for play dates on the weekend. We also fly him abroad to facilitate his emoluments violations while we fly others to concentration camps. #RemoveTrump

A thread of “JFC this guy is a fucking monster!”

1. As many people learned this morning, the National Park Service prohibits swimming and wading in the water in Rock Creek due to oil, heavy metals, pesticides, pet waste, and raw sewage in the water.
