Infographic depicting the planetary alignment of Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury in an arc above the horizon. The moon is on the left and each planet is labeled with an eye for visible (Mercury & Venus), a binocular symbol (Jupiter & Saturn), or a telescope symbol (Uranus & Neptune) to indicate how best to view them.

This weekend, don't forget to check out a rare 6-planet alignment shortly after sunset on Saturday, February 28. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus will be visible from our vantage point here on Earth - although you will likely need a telescope for Uranus and Neptune. 🔭🌏

Massie goes full beast mode today.

Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

from @maketheroadnj.bsky.social When ICE came out Mayor Baraka he was in a public area. People yelled: "Circle the Mayor!"

Rep. McIver ran to protect Rep. Coleman. "You're touching a federal official." People held on to protect each other. HSI swarmed & took Baraka.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.”

If a typical picture is worth a thousand words, this reaction by the leader of Italy to sitting next to an obvious madman is worth several trillion

A tale of two movies:

Similar deal structures. Similar budgets.

One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend.

The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.

And yet this is the coverage.

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

The anti-trans movement is welfare for losers.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

You know, I think the easiest way for AI to f**k with humans and really cause major emotional damage is to automatically turn on our MUTE buttons when we think they're on.

I've been wonderinf that too.

Graphic: As many as 69 million American women lack access to valid birth certificates

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Is this the snake eating itself?

Except it's not just one person. It's countless simping enablers behind him. A 5 year old could also tank everything if we gave him the power of the land.

.....though, tbh, I have more faith in a 5 yrar old GIRL. Full props to 5 year old girls.

The Only Way to Stop the Financial Crisis Trump isn’t listening to what the stock market is telling him. He’s not negotiating with foreign leaders in good faith. He’s not hearing what corporate CEOs are saying.

"Congress has the authority to override Trump’s tariffs and to stop his vandalism of the American government. Alas, cowards are our last defense against an ignorant tyrant."

For better or worse, this is painfully true.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

The National Park Service employs people from a wide range of backgrounds, like the great Shelton Johnson. My Uber driver this morning, a historian, was abruptly fired by the NPS last week and is struggling to make ends meet. The trump kakistocracy is destroying much of what makes America great.

There’s a mass exodus from AirBnB to VRBO because of a co-founder & board member’s ties to the Heritage Foundation, Project 25, Tesla, and DOGE…

Act accordingly. ✨

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.

We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

“I’ll be 10 min late sorry!!!”

-fragile
-unreliable

“A thousand apologies. The relentless slog of time has overtaken my faculties.”

-commanding

The CDC has literally been gutted today.

There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet.

Thousand of scientists fired.
Entire departments erased.

Only **ten** people? What a terrible decline in journalistic standards we are seeing when someone who is a fine public servant devoted to rooting out fraud can be subjected to calumny like this based on such thin sourcing

Absolute 🔥🔥
... I am just gobsnacked that G has the audacity to even show his face in public in the last 20 years.

Debate!? "Should the dog have burned down the tree it pisses on? let's discuss" 🙄 ffs
