So jealous of you Illinois folks today. Outlawing book bans is a hell of a step forward.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Which is why I struggle with Madonna performing there. She has traditionally been a huge LGBTQ ally. But her need for attention and promotion for her new track superseded the ethics of it.

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.

Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.

I can’t believe it 😭

This is tragically beautiful.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Wishing this fabulously competent—and joyful—crew a safe return to a planet that, frankly, doesn't deserve them.

How does James Comer have Hillary testify but not Melania?

Same! So frustrating. You’d think in this 100th birthday year of Mel Brooks that it would be released again.

So much of this could have been prevented if the men in the Epstein files had been prosecuted instead of protected.

SaveUSFS.org is live. This week we’re going after six major outdoor brands. Companies that have spoken out for public lands before. Companies that built their whole identity around wild places. We need them to speak out again.

Okay, again... this is how TF you write a GD'ed headline!!!

The color changing is amazing but what always gets me is they make their body’s texture look like rocks and coral. Fascinating.

Always helpful.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

My 17 year old trans kid loves your book FYI. :)

Please help this lawyer.
