Good to see a bipartisan group of former CDC Directors raise alarms in the NY Times about RFK Jr. dismantling US public health. And I can’t help but feel frustrated that they didn’t do this last year when public health was on the ballot—nor did NYT frame it that way—when we had a chance to stop it.
I’m not an ornithologist. Can anyone identify the bird in this photo?
41-7 have to say I love this for that old creepy guy. He’s so gross
God, they are such assholes.
Oh let’s do it. Fair is fair.
Ok, if he’s had a stroke that has incapacitated him in some way, I wanna start a TikTok trend of videos making fun of him with stroke face and body, just like he mocked a disabled journalist. Not a fucking molecule of sympathy from any of us.
OMG who wants to tell them about Napoleon?
JFC, Atlantic Monthly. Michelle Obama wanted kids to eat healthy and exercise. She wasn't bent on destroying our federal health agencies.
He looks like a walking corpse
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
Honestly, I kind of hope all those dopes get COVID and get really sick
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Jeez, I turn on tennis for a minute and TCU scores again? Not fair
Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan in D.C. convened an emergency hearing on Sunday and ordered the operation to stop.The court made it clear— >> No child can be removed without proper legal process. >>The government must return the children to shelters, and deportations are suspended until further hearings.
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?
He looks like he’s about to have an attack of diarrhea doesn’t he?
Republicans are practicing reverse Robin Hood. Raising taxes at people in lower income levels under $30,000 a year and cutting taxes for billionaires and the biggest corporations.
This is lunacy
In order to get a weather forecasting job with the National Weather Service, applicants now have to name at least two Trump Executive Orders and state how they plan to help support them. Which is ridiculous and shame on every MIC that allows that nonsense in their WFO!
Warfighters demonstrating leafality.
She should just retire already.
I’m refinining my dead trump Cryptkeeper joke. Ready? Working hard on his stroke, he’s finally scored par for the corpse! Hahahahahahaha-ahhhh!
Yeah he's not beating the allegations

Michelle Obama: Eat an apple! Eat some vegetables! Get some exercise! RFK Jr: Autistic people sit in the corner drooling because of vaccines! Let's ban all vaccines, bring measles back and have the survival of the fittest! American Media: Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. had the exact same agenda!

"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."
Who is this mook?
Oh no, a double fault to lose the match..
Vaxxed?
She really needs to go
This is how it's done! They were Warned! Love it!
I’ve seen Jaws so many times but seeing it on the big screen was amazing. The ocean scenes were grander, the shark scarier, the mayor’s blazers blazed
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
RFK jr's cult beliefs in no way supersedes anyone's right to prevent death or disease in their self or their family. Full Stop.
Once flu season hits and COVID peaks, that could be it for him. Take it from me — I’ve seen firsthand how cruel this virus is to the vulnerable.
About time.
RFK Jr walking into Walter Reed: “I hear the President is overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation.” JOE ROGAN: “he needs ivermectin!”
I’ve never seen a person less convincing about having fun than Andrew Cuomo. A miserable ghoul who truly can’t even fake humanity.
In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
Bit rich from the South African?
He’s not even Nate Bronze, he’s like Nate Cardboard at this point
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
I like the rebrand.
LOL
The victim was identified as Keontae. He managed to escape and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 4/4 www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.

Russia must be stopped
During Jim Crow, many states mandated that anyone seeking to register to vote or apply to a state university had to have multiple voters/alumni “vouch” for their character. It was an easy if unsubtle way to maintain all-white (or mostly-white) institutions
Still laughing about Giuliani. “It’s not right to wish harm on someone,” chides Darcy. “I’m not wishing,” I say, “but I do enjoy it when it happens” 😃
I’m good with that.
The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
🤣🤣💥
How did Rudy Guiliani fracture vertebrate when he’s a spineless piece of shit?
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
What I did this weekend: Spent hours emailing the foreign affairs offices of all major nations with one simple request - to send me their press releases, data and statistics directly with ability to follow up. First tens of emails came back approving the request. Now we will have actual information
I think I will too. Good news I think. They also just gave a big contract to Stephen Colbert.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Today I’m boasting of my ability to fly to the moon.
And damn, did she not have the most gorgeous set of legs ever?
still love that song. Will AlWAYS adore Tina Turner.
💯% agreed.....
You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.
Fair point.

Time to do my weekly passing of the campaign hat. If you can donate something, regardless of how much, it’ll really help. If you’ve already donated something, you’re awesome! If you can’t donate, you can still sign up to get email updates for what the campaign will be doing. Have a great Labor Day!
If you can donate to help Chris’ campaign, that would be a good thing. Any amount is good!! He’s a warrior for democracy.
Funny how I’ve seen 1000 articles bemoaning the horror of young men’s prospects since I was young, yet never once have I seen a piece on how young women view the job market/economy Even when they’re the ones going to uni, holding down dom labor + traditional jobs You’d think one might like to know
Dude I dreamed about you last night. So I guess you’re living in my subconscious rent free.
Love nature and love Scotland so a win-win
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Disgusting
Fuck him.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
WTF
This is straight talk.
USians angry that information may be “scary” sit this one out, just fix your country and get your manufacturing plants ready, the world doesn’t need your thoughts and prayers. Send us all ammunition and HIMARS. Russia is weak but that doesn’t make it any less dangerous.
hello my name is Doctor Statistics, I have a mathematical proposal for winning elections and it involves subtracting part of my coalition
You know what AI makes me think of? That Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode (1st season) where Willow scans Moloch the Destroyer into the internet accidentally. Where it promptly pretends to be her boyfriend and gets other students to murder.
CNN confirms that the pilots landed the plane using paper maps. www.cnn.com/2025/09/01/w...
I believe that 99% of what RFK Jr. does is motivated by: 1. Protecting his ego and vanity. He must convince people vaccines are bad b/c he can’t be wrong. Endless photos of himself exercising b/c vanity. 2. Creating conditions for his law firm to increase profits from suing various companies.
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
Something press pool could ask about
