It has no meaning anymore.
I see a MAGA hat on wheels every time I se a Tesla on the road. ESPECIALLY the truck 🤦♀️
Yes, it was carefully hidden in the New England Journal of Medicine. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... ) 1/2
I love Justin Wolfers humor. “Lucky” is not the word that comes readily to mind… 🫤
All of the above.
It took years to build a strong America. We’ve never been perfect. The trajectory of progress has generally been forward, sometimes painfully slow. It’s taken 8 months for this regime to gut, hollow out, destroy everything that was ever good and strong. They are dismantling the 20th century.
And while they’re at it Alt History to protect actual, factual history since MAGA intends to rewrite it.
Fear, uncertainty and doubt everywhere.
THAT is scary 😳
AND gutting CDC directives, priorities and guidance.
He could not be more correct! Thank you!
Sourdough is awesome.
First world problem.
“What independence means is that the technocrats at the Central Bank use economic reasoning, data” to achieve economic goals, says Fmr. Fed Chair & Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen. ‘Americans need to worry’ about political interference. It’s “a recipe for runaway inflation.” #Velshi
Oil too
Last January, a source shared evidence with me that DOGE was installing devices on govt servers to upload data to the cloud. Some hosts were FOREIGN. On Friday, a whistleblower resigned and came forward to share the same. Listen to what we found in January: www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...
We’re all horrified 😐
Oh yay! All the data we were told would be safe, is absolutely NOT. Are we GREAT yet? 🫤
Trump inherited an economy that was the envy of the developed world, one Biden's team navigated through post-pandemic inflation better than almost anyone. In just a few months, Trump has torched it—simply because he takes pleasure in destroying his predecessor’s accomplishments. belib.org/ZqBtts4
@chuckborges5.bsky.social risked his livelihood to make us all aware of how our personal data is being unlawfully exposed by the current administration. It was a truly brave act. SSA is unquestionably worse without him.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
"This is all the same project: attacking the government and re-engineering it to serve as a weapon against the American people. It’s the greatest act of civilizational self-mutilation since the First World War."
Yes and I thought we were stronger as a country. We were a paper tiger…
Let that sink in 😳
It’s never about the guns is it? That is the 1 thing that makes us unique in the world. It’s not the anti-depressant, video game, trans bathroom problem. It’s the guns stupid 🤦♀️
The list is LONG in this regime
🧠🪱😐
I’d say there’s some real sane comments on this post 👍
👍👍
In 7 months, Trump and Kennedy have turned this is once world renowned health agency from the center for disease control to the center for disease.
YES!! Chef Jose Andres DOES deserve the Nobel!!
Pritzker Torches Trump’s Power Grab: “Do Not Come To Chicago” This is what courage looks like:
"This Israeli government is committing suicide, homicide and fratricide. "It is destroying Israel’s standing in the world, it is killing Gazan civilians with seemingly no regard for innocent human life, and it is tearing apart Israeli society and world ...
Thank you and your team for ALL the work you do! Occasionally it’s nice to take a deep sigh of relief 😊
Yep. 😐
He’s in a Nazi uniform in my head every time I see him, complete with the leather and whip and all the regalia. He’s a disturbing little man.
You absolutely described how I’ve been thinking. It feels like we’re all sleepwalking. Everything feels “normal” but it’s not. Non-News tv feels normal. A trip to the grocery store feels normal. Going to a restaurant, picking up from school, work. But we live in an autocracy now.
WHAT??! 🤦♀️🤯

BREAKING: In a massive win for democracy, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s gerrymandered congressional map. Utah voters demanded fairer maps and politicians must now deliver.
That’s exactly what I thought….
This is a nightmare 😳. Holy crap.
OMG. This is a nightmare 😳
This is the best, most comprehensive summary of politics in the last 60 years in this country. If you want to know how we got here…this is it. It’s so clear to me now. Thanks Heather Cox Richardson.

Still waiting for someone of prominence to admit it was not about eggs.
Stagflation in some form is coming. The trillion-dollar question is whether inflation becomes entrenched paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-econom...
Its easy when one has no soul, no integrity.
She never does!!! NONE of them do! They just let it land and move on. This is how history is rewritten.
DO SOMETHING. Speak truth to power!!!! 🤯
🙄🤦♀️🫤
ICYMI, Comrade Trump continues to seize the means of production. On Friday, he announced that the government would be taking a 10% share of the giant chipmaker, Intel. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
It’s embarrassingly gaudy. Looks like a failed craft project with “gold” spray paint.
It looks like a failed craft project, especially the “gold” spray paint. It embarrassingly gaudy. 🤦♀️😐
I’m WAY beyond concerned 😳
🤦♀️
Putin meets alone with Trump. A week later, US intelligence is gutted by Tulsi Gabbard. FBI goes after John Bolton. Had Putin ordered it through Amazon, could not have been more efficient.
America’s Doug Wilson problem goes much deeper than Pete Hegseth. See, eg, NatCon, American Moment, New Founding, and American Reformer. Thread. 1/
I remember reading about Leonard Leo YEARS AGO, as the most dangerous man (to our democracy) we had never heard of. By the time his work was known he had done irreparable damage. Our current SCOTUS. I’m having the same feeling about these 3 guys you cite. Their work is already evident. That’s bad.
Our current SCOTUS as a sleeper cell is a perfect analogy.
🚨$1,000,000/day That’s what Trump’s militarization of DC is costing taxpayers. All while he slashes Veterans’ benefits, healthcare, housing, and food aid. His police state comes with a hefty bill, and YOU'RE paying it. MORE: theintercept.com/2025/08/20/t...
He campaigned on lowering costs. He governed by raising them—tariffs are taxes on consumers. And his pressure on the Fed risks unleashing even more inflation.
We can’t vote for ANY voter initiatives. We would have abortion if we could.
It’s a lie if his lips are moving. He’s thinking of one if they aren’t.
Whatever happened to HIPPA? I’m assuming we no longer have any protections.
I love these so much!!! A Texas Democrat 💙
thank you, @judgeluttig.bsky.social
Think of BLS data as the economy’s highway system: invisible, vital, taken for granted. Corrupt it, and every decision—from Fed policy to plant openings—crashes. Good stats → Good choices → Higher living standards. Bad stats → Bad choices → Lower living standards.
And when you consider every restaurant bar, auto dealer service area and other public area tv spaces have at least 1 tv set to FOX, his makes it even WORSE.
Of course I don’t expect ANYTHING but propaganda from FOX so there is that…
But the interviewers/journalists RARELY challenge them or follow-up to demonstrate the lie to the viewer/listener/reader. I am constantly shocked by how really weak our legislatures, courts and journalist principles and integrity really are. Everyone has just caved.
And NO is a complete sentence.
How would that work for large populous states?
Junior high not junior night 🙄🫤
We totally understand the concept of history IS whoever writes it.
I subscribe. Thank you for all you do!
Oh and my junior night was named for a confederate general and the mascot for our high school football team was the “Rebels”. Complete with gray marching band uniforms.
Spot on.
I’m almost 77 and was raised in the south. This summary is spot on. My dad took us to all the Confederate battle grounds. I vividly remember Shiloh. I didn’t know what it was called at the time but my dad became a Republican when LBJ signed the Civil Rights act. I think they’re called Dixiecrats now
If America wants to purge distorted history, let’s start with the biggest, ugliest distortion of them all: the Lost Cause.
Every decision, decree and change seems absolutely counterintuitive.
It must be a very small bazooka 🫤
Good move.
Even the word WOKE sounds appropriately stupid. I think of the word now as a badge of honor, of courage, if I truly understand their meaning. Proud to be WOKE 💙
