That's not how things work. They made their decisios based on a complex and abstract stew of misinformation and manipulation. We don't give up our humanity to spite people who vote against their own best interests.
it isn’t malice or conspiracy to observe that a hospital serving 10000 people in a 100 mile radius is not as effective as one serving 100000 people in a 10 mile radius, and while i would prefer we do both, republicans have taken that choice from us
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
"Texas: Land of the free! Also Texas: We want you to surveil your neighbor, see if they've missed their period, snoop through their trash and mail, and sue whoever sent them medication abortion."
As the saying goes, be very careful about what you want because chances are that you'll get it. I, for one, do not relish the idea of a president named Vance. Not only is he charmless and venal, he's under the thumb of Peter Thiel.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.

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.
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
I am so damn proud to be a California Democrat today. Who’s with me? Vote YES on Prop 50. Let’s win this 🔥
86 Candles 🎂 today for the wonderful LILY TOMLIN
I hope they’re not trying to pin the psycho’s hateful, narcissistic behavior on his age and deteriorating health condition. No, he’s always been an ass! He’s not deteriorating because he started out at the bottom.

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.

It's true. Look at this absolute laundry list of serious side effects associated with birth control pills! Oh, wait, my mistake. This is the list of side effects for sildenafil, the ED drug in Viagra and Cialis. We better ban it!
Unless they're headed toward recommending vasectomies for their followers, they have no business weighing in
Wait, wait, wait — read the actual study? Is that allowed? Where's my copy of The Internet Rulebook.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Aw man,3 v 1,totally unfair. A wee joke. Saw my neighbour out in the back yard talking to her cat this morning. It was obvious that she actually thought her cat understood every word she said to it. I came back in and told my dog what my neighbour said and we laughed and laughed for ages so we did.
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
If laugh if it weren't so damn serious -- and infuriating.

Dear Puritanical Pixie: Every country on Earth struggles with the human heart. And mental health. But none, however, has mass shooting like the United States. It's the guns, you irresponsible bearer of false witness. Sincerely, Jesus
Embarrassing doesn’t even cover it. Grown adults debasing themselves to appease a big, orange baby.
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
Holy FUCK.
Presidents and first ladies have mandated lifetime Secret Service protection. That's why he couldn't pull Hillary's. Vice presidents don't have the same mandated coverage. It's still really petty of him to do this now when she'll be in public a lot in the next few months. What a putz.
Santa Rosa and Escambia school districts are neighboring districts that share the same primary book banner. This person targets authors like Kelly that speak out against censorship. One person should not have this much influence over what everyone has access to in the library.
Under normal circumstances, former vice presidents don't get Secret Service protection. But these aren't normal times and he's a petty man for pulling it now.
Petty Trump cancels Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection just as she is about to embark on a national book tour. She will be more likely to cross paths with unhinged MAGA lunatics than at any time after leaving office. Trump is an evil clown. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...

Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

GOV. WHITMER on marriage equality 🏳️🌈 attacks: “Treating people equally is a Michigan value… LGBTQ+ Michiganders make our state stronger, better, and more vibrant.”
Good.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
I hate when an insurance company says, “I know your doctor prescribed you a medication, but we are going to deny that, because we think you should take a different medication that your doctor didn’t prescribe.”
CDC Dir. Susan Monarez had 2 lines she could not cross: she wd not do anything illegal, & she would not do anything that ran counter to the science. RFK Jr asked her to do both- remove CDC leaders without cause, & endorse recommendations that did not represent the best science So he fired her

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Donald really puts the dick in dictator.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Never in my life will in comprehend why the Access Hollywood tape wasn’t the end for him. Almost 10 years of being deeply embarrassed for this country every day.
I just don't understand using AI for writing fiction. There is SO MUCH fiction content out there, FAR more than anyone could read in a lifetime. Why would anyone ever read AI fiction when there's an abundance of the real thing?
ah yes, vital that we have housing for cars and not people
It’s the guns!
This might be the angriest I’ve ever been in print. Kash Patel tweeting about his pullup workout instead of doing the job of counterterrorism kind of broke me. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cdc-th...
Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.

Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
We stand with Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker and every other American willing to stand up to fascism and take back our country.
This would be so funny if it weren’t the top health official in the United States
We lost four top CDC officials today, along with all their years of experience and institutional knowledge. Trump told the truth, for once, when he said he'd let RFKJr "go wild" on America's health. Whoopee, we're all going to die.
