Any Democrat in these states who doesn’t lean on this hard shouldn’t be in office. It’s a gift.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

2 things 1) this book is just fantastic, you must read it, start today 2) The ability of media to somehow always find a picture of an author that the author doesn't like when theres good news to share is truly incredible

This. I am mentally ill. Donald Trump is an abusive, amoral, greedy, dishonest, & self-centered piece of shit.

"Four reminders: not all bizarre behavior is mental illness; not all ineptitude results from psychiatric deterioration; not all egregious deeds are clinical symptoms; and madness is not synonymous with evil. ... his behavior is not psychosocial alterity, it is white supremacist Reason laid bare."

You will never convince me that a person who punched someone in the face once is much, much more morally culpable than someone who cheats and steals for profit.

She's using - abusing - defamation law for purposes that have very little to do with either protecting her reputation or compensating her for harm to her reputation. She's just vindicating her own sense of might and righteousness. What she does works. It just doesn't work to protect her rep.

But, you ask, what about she-who-shall-not-be-named? She threatens defamation actions all the time, and it works. And she does, and it does. Because JKR is vindictive, wants to hurt people who anger her, has the money to do it, and doesn't really give a damn about her reputation.

I’ve now observed a Florida news channel say something to the effect of “I’ve never heard of so many sharks near shore” every year for the past 8 years, at least. You have heard of it my dude. From yourself, last year. Enough with the fearmongering.

Also with my ongoing family traumas, losing my brother and then my Dad, etc. People have frequently fretted over, I don't know what to say, I don't have the right words. That's the right words. That's always the right words. I felt and feel the love and compassion and that's all we can do.

Trump can say he'll distance himself from Project 2025 as much as he wants, but in his last term he appointed every faithful FedSoc judge he could get his hands on, and that's basically the entire game.

With regard to former Sec. of Defense Mark Esper’s chilling account that then-President Trump wanted troops confronting protestors in Lafayette Park to “shoot them in the legs”, I’d love to hear someone ask the follow up question whether Trump understood that people would fall & get hit in torso.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

I think everyone who was like "great, now every environmental group ever should sue!" underestimated how swiftly those groups would be dwarfed by the juggernauts who are already collecting billions and billions of dollars from us and want more.

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.
