The right wing crash outs over VA are wild, an entire party that has internalized “our wins are always legit and theirs are not, ever”

I used to be a civilian epidemiologist for the Army. The optional-flu-vaccine policy won't last.

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.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss

“Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior vice president at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store near her home in Falls Church, Va.” (via @nytimes.com)

US spending on ‘reckless’ Iran war could have saved 87m lives, says UN Head of UN’s humanitarian agency frustrated that $2bn weekly cost of conflict comes amid big cuts to aid budgets

Just think about what we could accomplish with a real president who has brains, morals, and even the slightest bit of empathy, instead of one who sees saving lives as a weakness.

Charles probably had something to say to and so she cut a rug with John Travolta

Texas and Florida already took action to secure their seats, and now it is our turn. This temporary update protects Virginia interests until 2031. Let us lead the way & build a stronger future.

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

Here’s a feed cleanser.
Dogs catching treats.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

He’s so stupid

The Storms We Don’t Talk About Are Getting Stronger Super Typhoon Sinlaku moving toward Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands

A Category 5 storm just formed more than a month before the Pacific hurricane season even starts.

Most Americans didn’t hear about it.

Here’s why that matters—and what it tells us about where storms are headed next:

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

Jfc there are a lot of folks out there caping for swalwell.
Kick him aside and move on, he isn't the only Dem with a progressive bent

This is grotesque and disgusting

For the record, Melania didn’t meet Her husband in 1998… she met Marla’s husband.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.

First rule of fascism: own the means of communication.

Perhaps this was the projection the whole time

Intelligence Court Renews Surveillance Program Whose Law May Soon Lapse

Another year, and another secret ruling from the FISA court showing the FBI is violating Americans' privacy via NSA surveillance.

When will Congress finally learn and actually require a warrant for Americans' communications under FISA Section 702?

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared
bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy.
That's what Trump Derangement
Syndrome actually looks like.

Today's press conference: We pulled of a risky rescue and we're going to tell the world exactly how we did it. Our administration leaked about the second airman, endangering his life. We're super good at endangering more lives to clean up messes of our own making.
