New from me: RFK Jr., who has spent decades pushing disinformation about the safety of vaccines, insanely insisted to Congress today he's played no role in fueling the resurgence of measles in the U.S.
"I've never been anti-vaccine." www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-me...
Every disadvantage has its advantage.

The Dildo of Consequences rarely arrives lubed.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Elaine May movies ftw.
I don't have to wear Members Only when I say it, do I?
Chumming for blocks.
What if I told you government could do things to meaningfully improve your life?
All those pearl clutching Ds freaking out about this and always on about "kitchen table voters" do you think the kitchen table people know who Hasan is or give a rats ass? Your performative shit is exhausting
this is horrifying
on this basis they could charge a GC holder with anything in absentia, arrest them on their return to the US, and deport them on the grounds they've been charged with something before ever seeing a courtroom
All the right wing bull about death panels and a tyrannical federal government is laid bare.
The tyrants are the Republicans, and they are going after blue cities, militarily. Meanwhile they have eugenics freaks running HHS and are stripping citizens of consumer protections.
Masks off everywhere.
The Trump/RFK Jr. alliance is built on xenophobia and eugenics.
the guy they're trying to appoint as the fed chairman has over $100 million in secret assets including investments in jeff epstein funds if you really want to know why nothing matters any more. unreal.
Trump's impulsive, volatile comments are screwing up negotiations, @cnn.com reports. But they refuse to touch two essential questions: Why is this? And what can be done about it?

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."
Hey I think this guy might be a sociopath
Strong floor with upside.
Afternoon bump
Agreed.
Iran is already the dumbest US war of my lifetime and who knows how much worse it might get. Only a broken administration, like this one, could have gotten goaded into it.
Nice. Nothing wrong with going for authenticity, but it can quickly morph into perfection being the enemy of good. Also it can be a rabbit hole.
here's an Indian food hack that will change your life- stop trying to make it "authentically spicy" and go buy this thing called kashmiri red chilly powder and just use that
As usual, the @nytimes.com does a fine job of describing the problem, but refuses to touch two essential questions: Why is this? And what can be done about it?
Because the answers are: He's utterly untrustworthy and he should be removed from power.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi X.com @araghchi Blockading Iranian ports is an act of war and thus a violation of the ceasefire. Striking a commercial vessel and taking its crew hostage is an even greater violation.
