You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

Another reminder that health insurers in the US are THE WORST.

This week it’s @bcbsm.bsky.social next week it’ll be another one.

It was time to oust Stephen Miller way back when started the family separation policy at the start of Trump’s first term.

That this racist shit heel is still employed in public life at all is a profound failing of our country.

Democrats MUST make SCOTUS reform a key platform item for 2028. Ethics code. Term limits. Expansion and recusal guidelines. Fair nomination rules. Rein in shadow docket. Investigations into misconduct by current members.

Americans deserve a high court they can respect.

If there was any connection between COVID vax and cancer, they wouldn’t have to keep platforming the same one researcher making that claim.

But WHY is this at the same time as @laurelbristow.bsky.social’s event AND the @storycollider.bsky.social event?!

These are the main three #ATLSciFest events I want to attend!

RFK Jr’s pick to review Covid vaccines authored misleading research, experts say HHS calls MIT professor β€˜more than qualified’ for advisory panel and calls β€˜attacks’ on him β€˜politically motivated’

on ACIP member Retsif Levi: "it was clear that he was not familiar with the way the data is collected and potential wrong interpretations. What was more troubling: he didn’t seem to care."

Now I’m just picturing what the world would be like if elephants actually had the ability to roll up into spiky balls like their relatives.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.

That’s too bad. I don’t think she had a realistic chance here but I was intrigued enough to want to learn more!

The caliber of these candidates says A LOT about how the national GOP thinks this race is going to go.

The big names are either sitting out entirely or opting to go after the Governor seat instead.

We aren’t celebrating because the existence of the budget means dick all when Russ Vought refuses to release the appropriated funds to the agencies.

Large drugmakers are developing fewer antibiotics, analysis finds The number of potential antimicrobial treatments being developed by the world’s largest drugmakers nosedived by 35% over the past five years, according to a new analysis.

When people say lower drug prices will harm innovation, it is important to ask if our current system incentivizes the innovation we truly need...

"The findings highlight a mismatch between business incentives and public health needs." #healthpolicy

Not wrong, because any other President would’ve been tossed in prison many times over by now.

If this was a bad thing that was still popular (like Don’t Ask Don’t Tell back in the day), or a good thing that people hated (like COVID stay home orders), I could understand the hesitation.

But this war is both bad AND unpopular! What are you even doing?!

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding The House minority leader said Democrats will "cross that bridge when we get to it" but added that President Donald Trump has so far failed to justify his "war of choice."

In January, Jeffries declined to whip against DHS funding. Then DHS murdered Alex Pretti, and Dems had to play catchup to the politics. Now Jeffries won't commit to whip against Trump's war. This isn't rocket science - unify Dems against bad and unpopular things! www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Yeah…

If you have multiple millions of dollars sitting on your bank accounts, I’m ok with the β€œfirst” $75k that you make every year still being taxed.

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase β€œaccused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory β€œhasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse

but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him

Republicans only view energy as a national security issue because they equate β€œprotecting our country” with β€œprotecting their bank accounts”.

I am absolutely convinced that Trump promised Rubio we would go after Cuba. That’s how he’s gotten Rubio to go along with everything else. It’s only a matter of time.
