89 candles would have set off the sprinklers, so we settled for one — and one perfect slice of cake (with @bradtakei.bsky.social on ice cream duty). Thank you to every friend, fan, and fellow traveler who has made these 89 years such a joyous voyage.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

The SAVE act died in the Senate.

As politely as I can, it is hard to overstate how stupid GOP voters are. Anything not GOP is "Marxism and communism" according to them.

Is this why we went to WAR???

President Trump is reading Bible verses from the Oval Office today.

The Separation of Church and State cannot exist under a Christian White Nationalist regime.

This new White House “initiative” is proof of that devastating fact.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.

In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.

This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

And, Now you know why she lost the election in Washington State. Later B!

It’s adorable that the widely ridiculed doofus Kash Patel is working under the quaint misapprehension that his already ruined reputation can still be destroyed.

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.

Trump's lies are no longer working on two-thirds of the American people, which is resulting in his further mental collapse..

Tomorrow, I am forcing a vote to end the war in Iran.

Seriously you can’t make this shit up

Officials who warned about Russian interference are being treated as the threat, even facing potential criminal charges. At the same time, people adjacent to Russian-aligned propaganda and influence channels are being handed power to investigate them.

I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.

This is an embarrassing but not shocking indictment of legacy news media in the U.S.

Army Secretary Sparks Outrage After Shutting Down Army Social Media Accounts For Honoring Tammy Duckworth's Military Service

Absolutely pathetic.

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli
