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.
Don’t move to dismiss.
Serve discovery TOMORROW.
Then answer.
Let’s have some fun with discovery
My new thing is that when someone asks me what I think about 2028, I ask them what they think about 2026. Because this November is the next election. Focus. There'll be plenty of time to talk about 2028 after we're done celebrating over washing Republicans out of Congress this November.
Boston is about to have the most chaotic 24 hours of sports imaginable:
1PM - Sixers vs. Celtics (Game 1)
4:35PM - Tigers vs. Red Sox
7:30PM - Bruins vs. Sabres (Game 1)
Then wake up to:
9:06AM - Boston Marathon
11:10AM - Red Sox again
No city does it like this.
WE ARE BATTLE OF MENOTOMY POSTING
as the 🇬🇧 left the Battle of Lex & Conc 251 years ago, a spry 80y/o Samuel Whittemore killed a 🇬🇧 soldier w/ his musket & 2 more w/ pistols
he was shot, stabbed, & left to die
“And [Whittemore] who did NOT die”
the official Hero Of Massachusetts lived to 98!

also this story is a reminder that scalia’s sudden death was really a significant political event
it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
Most striking to me about these memos is the radically different assessment of the harm imposed by the president not being able to pursue his initiatives. Over the last 15 mos., that harm has in numerous cases been treated as almost per se serious and irreparable. Here, it gets no analysis at all.
It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office
Rogan is enabling a corrupt authoritarian. Never forget.
Good morning!
Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates—
💰His net worth is up $2.1 billion, to $6.4 billion
💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million
💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million
💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million
And Jared became a billionaire last year.
Have a great day!
A headline reads: "Times Exclusive: The Inside Story of 5 Days That Remade the Supreme Court. Secret memos obtained by The New York Times illuminate the origins of the court’s now-routine 'shadow docket' rulings on presidential power."
Confidential memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a rushed and secretive new way of doing business. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
Trump six weeks ago:
I demand UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
Trump today:
I basically surrender on regime change, the nuclear program being gone once and for all, missiles, proxies, sanctions, and paying off the Iranian regime.
But memo to my followers: Let’s pretend it’s all good!
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.
"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.

Vance became a Catholic seven years ago. Now he's correcting the Pope. The chutzpah is breathtaking.
The entire American conservative MAGA “movement” has been a Russian funded op the entire time. Follow the money. It’s a straight line from Putin to CPAC.
The president’s new attorney general today swore that not one single more Epstein file would be released. This is probably because the last AG got fired because she released credible allegations against the president by a 13-year-old child.
I prefer presidents who don’t start wars to hide that they raped children.
Remember, Donald Trump is a very devout Christian who also has no clue what obvious Christian iconography looks like.

In the year of our Lord 2026,
On the second Sunday of Easter,
Also known as Divine Mercy Sunday,
A convicted felon accused His Holiness the Pope of being weak on crime.
People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.
The record high voter turnout in Hungary is giving me hope. That happens when the incumbent is a terrible person and people want them out.
You can get a double, but in one glass.
You can walk away from the bar with two drinks in your hand, but bartender may ask “who is the other drink for?”
Rules have lessened over the years. We now get beer and wine in supermarkets.
Growing up, we had to drive to NH to get alcohol on Sunday
