Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

HHS-branded infographic titled "The Truth About Measles Across the Globe: 2025 Measles Rates, Confirmed Cases"

Bar graph shows case counts as follows:
European Union - 7,653
Mexico - 6,464
Canada - 5,463
U.S. - 2,281

A squiggly arrow that graphically resembles a downward trend line points from the EU bar at the top down to the U.S. bar at the bottom.

Citation at the bottom reads "Source: public data from various sources."

HHS also just released this absolute graph crime conflating rates and case counts, with the source citation "various sources," so I'm not sure they're letting anyone who can actually read a study communicate with the public right now.

Former Capitol Hill staffer Jordan Wood looks to return to DC as Maine congressman Jordan Wood made the switch from Senate to House candidate after U.S. Rep. Jared Golden announced he wasn't running for re-election in the 2nd Congressional District.

I was barricaded at the Capitol on January 6th. I built a bipartisan organization that defeated dozens of election deniers across the country.

I’m running for Congress because I don’t just talk about standing up to Trump. I’ve done it, and I’ve won. #mepolitics

We went out on a night hike last night and @scibugs.bsky.social spotted this adorable Red-spotted Glass Frog. These frogs are found in the Andes Mountains from Colombia south into Ecuador.

Otis B. Driftwood, a rumpled tuxedo cat, in his desk box. His face is close to the camera, hiding the rest of him and making him appear to be a disembodied head. As disembodied heads go, he looks placid and content.

I cannot believe you have the audacity to suggest that *any* picture I've taken of Otis *isn't* the best one I've ever taken of him.

That said, it's this one.

As Governor of Maine, I will pass the strongest labor laws in this country.

Not only that, but I’ll do what our previous governors haven’t: I’ll damn well enforce them. #mepolitics

a man in a white shirt and black tie is sitting in a chair holding a microphone . Alt: The character "Johnny" from the spoof movie 'Airplane!' (1980). Imagine a youngish, balding white guy who works as an admin or aide in an air traffic control tower. In a hectic scene in the control tower, a storm has knocked out power to a plane and the tower crew are running about, while Johnny kneels unnoticed in a corner, holding a cord & plug that he's just pulled from the wall socket. He looks at the camera, giggling hectically, and moves to plug it back in.

I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on
