WHEN Trump decides to withhold aid for natural disasters to blue states, blue states need to withhold funding for subsidizing red states. No more fucking handouts.

The worst thing we can do right now is disengage. I get that people are pissed, hurt, confused, etc. and that’s fine. Take the time you need to process. After that, dust yourself off and get back to work. This shit will suck, but we WILL have midterms, and we need to win them.

Toxicologist here! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that - no matter your age, size, or health status - you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride

Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community. There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready. And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.

I don’t have it in me for four years of US senators posting every time Trump breaks the law. Get your peers together and fucking do something about it and let us know your progress.

DO NOT LEAVE TWITTER: There will come a day we leave but go start your other accounts and wait for the signal to leave this shithole to the klansmen and racists. For now: Hold Fast.

Okay yes a second Trump presidency is terrifying but based on these Trump picks, I think there's a decent chance that stupidity gets in the way of the fascism. I think that's our hope: crippling idiocy.

Dear Merrick Garland, If you wonder how someone like Matt Gaetz could possibly be Attorney General, the answer is simple: You did not do your job.

I’m a doctor and, I cannot stress this enough, I recommend making sure you are up to date on all of your vaccines as soon as possible

Trump voters chose him because of the economy and the border. They didn’t choose him to put an unqualified sycophant as SecDef, a possible Russian agent as DNI, the target of a DOJ investigation as AG, or a vaccine denier as Sec HHS. The Senate must do its job properly.

Democrats are happy to feed Republican children if it means every kid eats. Republicans are happy to starve their own children if it means Democrats' kids starve, too. And I just don't know how to campaign ourselves out of that kind of self-sabotaging hatred.

Really I think our best hope at present is in-fighting and power grabs in the GOP and civil servants working against lazy people with little experience.

It's disturbing seeing some medical professionals normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway." NOPE. RFK Jr is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Hi friends! I wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest site on the internet. Long and short of it: We won the bid and — you're not going to believe it — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.

The trashing of Kamala Harris by Democrats is the most shameful thing I've witnessed as a politics reporter since the trashing of Hillary Clinton in 2016 by many of the same people. It's sickening after witnessing the terrible campaigns in 2000 and 2004 that got none of that.
