If nothing else, Trump will be our last boomer president and for that, we can all be grateful.
Virtually every speaker the OR GOP has brought to the state for one of their events since 2022 has been, first and foremost, an election denier. Lying about elections is now basically a requirement for being a Republican in good standing.
Someone please kill me right now.

Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
My kid lost half a year when she was learning to read and write but she's doing amazing now and my godson was a freshman who lost half a year of HS and now he's loving life in college. Kids are risilient. Their whiny parents aren't.
'It's not that Bluesky is important but I'm specifically namedropping that social media platform' Gotta say tho any Dems who listen to this gambling addict are gonna get what you deserve.
Whether it’s Michelle Obama suggesting kids exercise instead of watching tv or RFK Jr. telling kids to drink raw milk instead of taking vaccines, both figures took a controversial approach to children’s health.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
I watched Katrina: Come Hell and High Water on Netflix. Fuck everyone for trying to rehabilitate anyone from the George W. Bush administration.

Fatality.
There is no explicit prohibition against the President cancelling elections, so it's hard to see why liberals think they are entitled to elections in 2026 and 2028. by Jonathan Turley

I am once again begging headline writers to learn anything about executive orders
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
He jumped that gate like he was a crossing guard, terrible execution. White boy can't jump 😂
The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. “We didn’t know” “Nobody told us” “He promised he wouldn’t…” This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.
Donald Trump’s rumored death raises new questions about Joe Biden’s health

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Felt like a pie chart was in order. Number of mass shooters since 2018: 4197 % of mass shooters since 2018 that were transgender? 0.095% % of mass shooters that were cisgender: 99.905%
In some ways Ham-Face is the perfect Trump voter: all his decisions blow up in his face but the explanation is always, you don't understand, the radical leftist Joe Biden made us mad.

CHICAGO…
It’s long past time you all stopped using “Congress” when you mean “Republicans”. Not a single Democrat voted for this hot mess of an appointment. This endless grind to maintain a non-partisan tone, despite the partisanship of our fascist reality, is willfully blind, & a betrayal of your country.
these people are the weakest fuckin weaklings in all US history
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
going back to the founders it would have been recognized as an act of gratitude and patriotism to dedicate one's life to service of their adopted country, but Vance rejects the fundamental ideal of America in favor of crude blood-and-soil Nazism that he learned on the internet five years ago
Are you prebeared to vote on September 9th?

RFK Jr looks like he’s been sampling the diseases at the CDC
A Democratic candidate for prosecutor in Virginia wants lawmakers to ban ICE agents from operating while masked or while concealing their identities; she says she’d then prosecute those who don’t comply.
everyone is theorizing that Trump is secretly dead but what if he just wandered onto the White House roof again and got stuck
And so many NPS workers have been shitcanned.
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
"People are saying..."

In this Ohio diner, cancer research is what astrologers do for people born in late June and July. But they do know this: President Trump's landslide 49% of the vote gives him a clear mandate to defund America's scientists.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
I’m sure these people are thrilled that they’ve been called away from their families and jobs to deal with DC’s crushingly important mulch emergency. So much government efficiency.

More or less universally a country seeking to limit foreigners studying in that country is a sign of a society, culture, great power in severe decline.

RFK Jr. says you shouldn’t get a Covid vaccine. All doctors and research results say you should. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
On the way the Right has responded to the shooting in Minnesota (and all of them really)
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
this is why i don't care about the "Can AI make art?" arguments -- that's not what it's built to do. this is can i use a tank to mow my lawn? maybe, but i'm not sure why i'd try
#Jazzsky #musicsky
the right wing view of covid is, basically: it is very bad the evil chinese manufactured this bioweapon to kill us all, but also we should've let it kill more people
I’m sure this isn’t surprising but I was never at the cool table. I was always at the nerd table cause that’s where the good people are. And I’ll die at the nerd table.
Doors, gender identity, antidepressants— just a few of the things Republicans will blame for mass shootings instead of the guns they love so much
Still boggles the mind how Republicans can so vigorously claim they love America when they spend so much time and energy looking for ways to honor traitors
You cannot shout "I am a down-in-the-gutter, race-baiting shitpiece" any louder than this. You can try, but your voice will not carry any further than this twisted swine's wail.
Whether it's Barack Obama asking for dijon mustard or RFK Jr. asking for a vaccine ban that will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, there have been unusual requests on both sides of the aisle.
Schumer, Jeffries propose strongly-worded letter to counter RFK Jr.'s purge at the CDC.
Hitler targets ethnic and religious minorities. Critics see big risks.
"If you don’t like my tone, it’s called 'tough love,' America. You need to change yourself or this will keep happening, and it will get worse."
this is an important moment.
little known fact: In 2020, Republicans lost the White House and the Senate.
Whoever has been writing headlines at @the-independent.com recently is doing a great job
Nobody in DC asked for your sorry ass, loser.
It's literally Harrison Bergeron shit. They're force kids to use it in schools and adults to use it at work so they can bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Smart and creative people on the same level as the dumbest racist Facebook aunt. Anything that makes you shine will be dulled.
(1/X) Sometimes people ask "why does this supposedly reasonable Republican back Trump or why does this centrist spend all of this time attacking the left at a time when the right is destroying the country?" The answer is simple: it's because they're assholes.

I have never loved anything, not even my late mother and father, the way republicans love guns.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
One more time, shout out to the very serious people who suggested that RFK had some really good points about public health. No way to have predicted how things would turn out, except to look at his past record and everything he said about vaccines.
The median German citizen was not killed or imprisoned during the Third Reich, so it’s hard to see how anti-Nazism is a winning message for the left.
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
He's gonna make kids go to work camps because he can atmospherically deduce chakra misalignment.
Neighbors jeer as ICE and MPD pack up a road block they had stationed on Rhode Island and South Dakota in DC.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
isnt it cool and fun how we make 10year olds live through insane fucking trauma like this instead of regulating the nra's penis substitutes?
