Pet peeve: complaints that Dems have bad messaging/do nothing by accounts who follow no elected officials or experts in their fields.

Summary of recent HHS departures:

-Unqualified weirdo Jim O’Neill out as CDC Director

-β€œMeasles outbreaks are the cost of doing business” Ralph Abraham out as his Dumbass Deputy

-Venomous podcaster Vinay Prasad out at FDA.

Yet human cassowary and denim enthusiast RFK Jr. remains.

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

you'll notice there's absolutely no depth of bad judgement that's disqualifying for treating these guys like hybrid philosopher geniuses provided they still retain the immense wealth they backed into ass first

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

Pakistan faces the severe and first direct economic impact of the #Iran-Israel war as the government decided to hike the #petrol price by Rs55 taking the per-liter rate up to Rs321.17. This will leave the people in dire straits given the already weak economic conditions facing the country.

We could be lowering the cost of health care, but instead Trump is spending BILLIONS on his reckless war with Iran.

Trump is blowing YOUR taxpayer dollars on war & causing gas prices to spike while he's at it.

1. no, New England private school is not different

2. can we circle back to "out on the water working every day" when he claims 100% disability from the VA? and didn't take a salary from the campaign (his wife did) because that would risk those benefits?

Graves: There’s been reporting that some troops have been told that this is about starting Armageddon.

Warner: I don’t know whether that’s coming from the White House or just from specific military commanders.

Young Republicans repeatedly getting busted for group chats filled with violent racism, anti-Semitism, & misogyny. The latest involves the Miami GOP Sec. & the Pres. of Turning Point USA FIU.

I’ve got the horrid details & thoughts on why the GOP’s future is in the gutter.

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

"Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. 'I guess,' he says."

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
