Washington Post:
Democracy Dies in our Editor's Office

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.

Yes

1 in 3 Americans would throw their mom under a bus if it hurt "those people"

Glad to see you continue the time honored tradition of satirists becoming world conquerors.

I was wondering what was going on with vaccines in the military. Used to be they would vaccinate you for all kinds of stuff. Mandatory.
I wonder how much else is going to be optional. Hepatitis?
How long before military barracks & berthing areas on ships become disease hotspots?

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

If Trump & MAGA getting away with corrupt horrible shit is the standard, then no one should be arrested for anything. Essentially the bar is so low nothing is wrong.

We don't deserve your $
Not until we remove MAGA from power

Not knowing what genocide is and how it's being used today is indicative of Dems MAJOR problem going into November 2026.

Did you people even watch the video clip?

She was a arrested for making a bomb threat, or what was taken for a bomb threat, not for criticizing Netanyahu.

Idk who did this comic but it's hilarious

Same

The FBI director getting locked out of an IT system & jumping to the conclusion that he was fired is another example

Palantir is a quasi-fundamentalist subversive right-wing movement with a stock symbol

So for sex abuse scandals by priests he gave the church a pass. But the pope saying God does not support war is too much for him.

Can they teach about religious leaders who fought for civil rights? Or is "woke shit" prohibited.

Funny,
My wife just said essentially the same thing minutes after I read this.

If their rich white guy friends had lived in the time of the founders (and owned slaves) how would they want things to go.
That's Originalism

Now they get to cosplay as whatever expert is needed in a given case

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

OOP

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

It goes with my theory that pushing average folk into the stock market had a dual role. Obvious one was so that companies didn't have to pay out pensions. But the other one was that the $ us pleebs have in the market is the cushion to make sure the rich never lose it all in a stock market crash.

Meant to say electoral success, but that works too.

Yeah, I just saw that. Cause caving to moneyed interests has led to so much legislative success for dems.

Him dying anywhere outside of a prison cell is injustice

@democrats.org
Cave to the $$ed interests in advance. Ignore your base & what the public wants.
That strategy has worked really good for you.

This is sarcasm by the way.

"I don't think people are sufficiently prepared notwithstanding what happened in 2021, for the possibility that he will try to fuck with this election. And he will. He's already basically telling us that's what he's going to do, just the same way he told us he would do that in 2020."
