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.
Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
We should all be concerned about what Trump is trying to do to the SPLC.
HELLO ARE YOU OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A WRITER?
The ruling is a setback for the imperiled wildlife and fragile ecosystems of the Big Cypress National Preserve, including the Florida panthers that frequent this part of the Everglades.
Despite today's ruling, the Center and our allies vow to continue fighting.
The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.
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.
Your periodic reminder that the Strait of Hormuz was open on Feb 27th. Then on Feb 28th, Trump launched a reckless war that is using enormous resources like we see here-- billions & billions paid for by US taxpayers.
Do I know anyone in or around San Marcos, TX?
investigate everyone involved in DOGE
Complete and total incompetence and it's not just the three women either. Every single person in Trump's cabinet is grossly unqualified and worse, going along with his authoritarian capture of our country. Disgraceful.

Maybe just maybe it's time for reporters to stop blasting their latest phone chat with trump across the media ecosystem without facts, context AND without a transcript of the call.
NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman shares a video of ‘Earthset’ that was taken with his iPhone
“This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye…” Wiseman said.
This has to be the greatest iPhone video of all time.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
People are urging participants in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to wear pro-1st Amendment pocket squares or take a bathroom break when “guest of honor” Trump speaks.
I have a better idea: Cancel the damn dinner.
The fact there was a mass shooting with EIGHT dead today and it barely made the front page of any news site tells you everything you need to know how fucked up we are as a country. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/shreveport...
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
A duckling yawning While others sleep around it
Another duckling yawning but this time in the middle of the cuddle puddle
A duckling yawning away from the others. How nice of them
So much cuteness in the cuddle puddle tonight! These ducklings deserve brighter skys!!! 🐣 🪶
Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.
Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Abdulla is a prominent and well-respected voice with deep connections in the UAE whom I’ve followed for many years. His statement here is significant:
Who has a portable projector they like there are too many I have decision panic. @mostlybree.kitrocha.com I feel like you had one you liked?
@arvadacoindivisibl.bsky.social It was a gorgeous day to defend democracy at 80th and Wads where we employ our first amendment rights every Sunday! One more week of 11-1, then 10:00 to noon starting on 5/3. Bring a friend or 10!
Trump’s “complicated relationship with the Bible” is a lot like my complicated relationship with Charlize Theron
Could happen to any of us.
An exit poll in Bulgaria suggested Sunday that the center-left Progressive Bulgaria coalition led by ex-president Rumen Radev will be the winner of the country's parliamentary election. https://to.pbs.org/4cytC1D
