Any member of Congress who votes yes, and puts their name on a $200 billion supplemental for a war Trump and Republicans won’t even call a war, should lose their seat in November.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi res original if interested.
NEW: Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era.
Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America.
Today, at Law Dork:
“When men help out more at home, fertility rates rise
Nations where women spend several hours more than men on child rearing and household chores have the lowest fertility rates among high-income countries.”

Update: I offered this simple amendment in the Appropriations Committee to say no President can withhold funds from a college to try to control their speech.
Failed 14-15. Every Republican voted to endorse Trump’s censorship.
Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.
Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.
Fragile ego. Will travel. Trump cheating at golf in Scotland today.
This is definitely what you would do if there were nothing to see there
Oh hi fellow Cincinnatian! Love seeing your takes on current events and politics. Thanks for fighting the good fight here in Ohio with us.
I can’t believe how stupid everything is. Like just when I worry things can’t get stupider, life finds a way.
They are destroying science.
And that will destroy lives.

"Empathy is not idealism; it articulates a pragmatic vision of our shared fate. In a world defined by worsening pandemics, climate instability and global interdependence, empathy is a necessity"
@craigspencer.bsky.social is spot on!

Senate Republicans just passed a budget creating the largest secret police force in the world & cutting $1.1 trillion from Medicaid, meaning not only will millions lose healthcare, a very large number of healthcare facilities will shut down for good, & Dem leadership is out complaining about Zohran.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
Not much here is actually new but this is a very good overview of DOGE, which can only now be viewed as a failure on its own terms and a catastrophe on any other terms www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Hide your kids! Hide your couch! JD Vance is on Bluesky!
“I am going to say, Mr. Secretary, you’re either feckless or complicit. You’re not in control of your department. It is unserious. It is shocking. You’re not combating anti-Semitism within your ranks.”
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event
New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism
“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'
*More of this, please*"
These pictures will be in the history books someday.

“The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” @msnbc.com reporter #nokings
Maybe they should say “two Democrat Minnesota lawmakers…” in the title of the article. Surely this was politically motivated.
6/8 members of RFK Jr's ACIP have never looked a parent in the eye and said "Your baby might have meningitis. We need to do some lab work and a spinal tap."
7/8 never had to explain to a family why their newborn "will have significant neurodevelopmental problems" because of congenital rubella.
You wanna fucking complain in your air-conditioned house on your cellular device about how it’s too dang tough and you just can’t do it?
Fuck you. Pay some respect to the history that brought you here. Fight.

C. Everett Koop was nominated to be surgeon general 40 years after earning his medical doctorate, with his remarkably successful career as a pediatric surgeon and groundbreaking innovator in between.
But that's roughly equivalent experience, no?
