Too much energy and media is being spent on Sydney Sweeny that should be spent against real issues like Trump’s corruption, Epstein files, or the other criminal activities happening. The jeans commercial is a symptom not a cause, sweeny is an actor, not your government.

Though the @fda.gov wasn’t perfect (Google Aspartame), it was the foremost medicine approval institution worldwide.
If you don’t trust #BigPharma now the #FDA has been gutted, check out its European counterpart #EMA (@eumedicinesagency.bsky.social). If they don’t OK something, don’t trust & use it!

Trump is following through on his promise to lower prices!

Why aren’t they taking the fired federal workers who are sharing their heartbreaking stories—the ones that Musk says were being paid to do nothing—and making them famous? The cancer researcher on the verge of a breakthrough? The park ranger in Yosemite who won’t be there to conduct rescues and save lives? The air traffic controller who can speak to the connection between understaffing and recent plane crashes? Is it even safe to fly in Trump’s America? The Democrats should be amplifying these folks—writing op-eds about them, refusing to go on camera without sharing their spotlight, pressuring their IG influencers to raise them up—but instead, we learn their stories from Reddit. As Moira Donegan wrote in The Guardian, “Why are the Democrats so spineless?”

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis.

This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

Absolute lovely game and the human who makes it is just as lovely. 10/10

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.
