I am really glad that Rob Bonta is running again for AG but part of me wishes he would run for Gov because he has done an excellent job as AG in going after the fuckos in DC.

I see so many god damn ads for Tom Steyer. It reminds me of the daily multiple mailers I'd get for fucking Steve Forbes.

I gotta stay on brand.

The reply!

Here is my "Go Fuck Yourself" email. I was inspired by @runwithskizzers.bsky.social.

Good afternoon.

If you're a scientist with citizenship and tenure and you're not yelling about Trump's war on science and democracy, you are coping out of your civic duty.

If you're not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

I need to dig up my old credential from 20 years ago just so I can storm a practice to give Gaudette copies of my Star Wars books!

Huge thank you to @melodyschreiber.com for her excellence in covering our @standupforscience.bsky.social investigation into this pseudoscientific “study”.

1. RFK jr. MUST be removed
2. Jim O’niell is NOT fit to run NSF
3. This is going to be in history books in the worst light possible.

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've asked them for a template to map this out 😂 though I know what the 7 endings will be

Find Carth Onasi, he'll install it for you...for a price.

(I just hire a plumber for this stuff, I'm not messing with faucets)

I have impressed my inner 11-year-old who loved Choose Your Own Adventure's Vampire Express and The Mystery of Chimney Rock, because here comes CYOA: YOUR PARENTS ARE JEWEL THIEVES. It's a Mission: Impossible-style story with branching paths and a cool heist!

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Marceline and I say congratulations!

U.S. citizens were illegally detained at O'Hare, kidnapped and transported across state borders in just the last week. This reporting is bullshit.
