Where's his hair? He looks like he's on death's door. He needs to address the media.
News outlets should send their medical correspondents (the ones who are actual doctors) to the White House on Tuesday - and every day after that - to ask him questions about his health, hand bruising, if he’s getting lasix infusion, etc etc

I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023. The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion. That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.

For those unaware: RFK Jr has been spreading anti-vaccine lies for over 20 years. This is not new. This is not “since COVID.” He wrote a 2005 article in Rolling Stone blaming vaccine ingredients for autism. Be aware of this history. He is a millionaire because of the disinformation HE created.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Since it's the birthday of sax genius Charlie Parker (born 105 years ago today, on August 29, 1920), here's one of his 1940s recordings of "All the Things You Are." One of my friends says every time he hears this recording it feels like coming home. See you around.

School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
We had a horrific emergency involving our kids today and right now I'm just sitting at my computer in a daze and in shock. Thankfully they are okay but others are less fortunate.
