The United States and Israel launched a joint strike against Iran, an act of war without Congressional approval. This is a crime against the American people.
Trump is working with a genocidal regime to start another bloody war in the Middle East. Congress must vote to block further strikes now
Welp

Due to the federal government shutdown, there is no updated CDC data to inform a Weather Report. COVID is still being transmitted around the country and everyone should continue to use their layers of protection: high-quality masks, get your updated boosters, testing before gathering,
So woke of you, Mr. President. We said defund the military. We like a public servant who hears the voice of the people.
I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
It's not too late to start masking again
It's not too late to start cleaning the air
It's not too late to prioritize your long term health and the health of your community
It's not too late to show solidarity with disabled and vulnerable people
Disability... a minority group you can join anytime
Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight.
Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs.
What happened to the art of the deal?
Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
Just gonna keep tapping the sign*

The kids are not alright.
They need the adults to do the right thing.
They need us to acknowledge the very real threat of Long Covid, and start taking steps to mitigate the risk.
We urgently need to adopt mandatory masking in healthcare, paid time off & clean air in public spaces:
“Yes, we are living in mad times, when up is down and down is up, when injustice is presented as justice, when less and less is making sense…It’s surely why I am doing what I can to confront these twisted ideas and actions (and the people supporting them)…”

One might argue this is at least as important as Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension--and it's not new, just getting worse.
WaPo chart on CDC vaccine recommendations so far under RFK. It's very lengthy, so find it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/09/20/acip-vaccine-cdc-criticism-rfk/
CDC Vaccine Recommendations - what's changed so far. (Remember: they're just getting going).

David Rose, the police officer and Afghanistan veteran with a wife and 2 small children, was murdered by a white, right wing extremist man a month ago over antivaccine conspiracies pushed by RFK Jr. and this administration. He did not get recognition from political leaders or even much news coverage
As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
Having just spent a few months reading accounts of CBS’ grotesque cowardice during the 1950s McCarthy-era blacklist, it’s nice to see that The Tiffany Network respects its traditions
What a time for CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” and blame it on a “purely financial decision”: variety.com/2025/tv/news...
Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.
Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.
Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.
I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.
Yes. Worth watching.
TL;DR Sheriff's office sent out alerts *on Facebook* (for anyone online at 5:30am) but not to cell phones or other real-time alert systems.
Sheriff says he'll look into it.
Thank you for everything you are doing to support your community. People can be horrid, I see it here as well.
This def doesn’t undermine my sense that ICE will struggle to net 10,000 more officers in the years ahead.
The video of the woman driving off the guys at the car wash is impressive too.
And the sort of images that will make the job even less appealing for those who want to act like tough guys.
Someone ask her what FEMA stands for. Quickly.
Pink open faced Dahlia with yellow center and a bee face down in the flower asleep at the top of the image.
Because a sleepy bee butt in a Dahlia brings a small smile to the world...
