mr hegseth what will you do to provide freedom to our brave warfighters from mandatory vaccinations like hepatitis B, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), tdap (tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis), and polio

60-year-olds around a 61-year-old going into the newsagent in 2069, "Go on mate, get us a few packs."

You're going to want to watch this.

I think it’s bad that the president casually refers to a leader of the opposition as a “traitor.”

He is on CNBC and makes it crystal clear he is angry that Switzerland and Denmark are affluent - and that he wants to damage their economies as revenge for that. The anchors are chuckling and smiling indulgently. They just accept this without any questions.

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This a great example of why the best comparisons for e-bikes are not other bikes, but rather cars.

All the things @jamesbicycle.bsky.social mentions below are reasons why e-bikes can reduce or eliminate car trips. This is an important point, especially in the context of e-bike safety.

If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

Chavez-DeRemer stepping down as Labor secretary The scandal-ridden secretary is the latest member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet to exit.

Only the best.

“Chavez-DeRemer under scrutiny since Jan, when Labor Dept IG opened investigation into allegations [of] affair w/ member of security detail, drank on the job” and more that doesn’t fit in 1 Bluesky!

And one of my five is out! Trump continues his habit of forcing out only his female Cabinet secretaries.

If you eliminate all those facing sexual harassment charges & all those charged with excessive drinking & partying & all those charged with using government funds for their own private recreational purposes ...

... are there any Trump appointees left? Does that get all of them?

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

'A clear step change': European EV sales jump by over 50 per cent in March Over 224,000 battery EVs registered last month, as businesses and consumers respond to soaring oil prices

EVs won the war.

Just horrifying to watch once excellent universities voluntarily destroying themselves.

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

genuinely stupid, middle management is a hard hard job, and the glue of companies. Any exec (or IC) who thinks this is a bullshit job is, charitably, not paying attention to how companies actually operate

i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?

Weird how they never do this in areas where Trump won!

DOJ Office of Civil Rights seem very focused on districts with a lot of Black voters.

“What is the best possible way we can further undermine support for our country within the GOP?”

A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.

Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

Importantly, Sapphire was done with knowledge and cooperation of the host government (Kazakhstan). It took a month. It was not done under fire in enemy territory

Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.

Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help” is almost literally what Mayor Mamdani is saying and it’s great actually
