Somebody get little wussy Andy Harris his banana and a spoon, because the whining is ridiculous. Imagine being a thin-skinned hypocrite that you resort to scolding women for calling out your lies and BS. If he can’t handle women speaking up, perhaps he should sit this one out. #SheShed #Pinks

NEW: I wrote about why so many people wanted to believe that Ukrainian airstrikes on a Russian data center reduced troll and bot activity online, even though it's almost certainly not true. Featuring @noupside.bsky.social: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Drone strikes didn't take out a Russian bot farm, but we were primed to believe It
A viral rumor illustrates people’s hunger to make sense of the division we see online.

Recently did my annual govt. ethics training; can’t tell you how enraging it is to answer the questions of “can Maria accept this $20 visa gift card from a coworker at the birth of her son?” (No, gifts up to $20 in value are permitted, but not in cash or equivalent), and be thinking about the 747…🤬

Most doctors barely learned about measles, because it was assumed that it would be eliminated and basically a historic curiosity. Didn’t take the power of anti-vaxxers into account 😳😢

The virus is proving it can attack multiple organs, including the gut, liver, lungs and brain, even in children who were previously healthy.

I actually do think completely orienting your house around its hypothetical resale value is a sad way to live. This is another downside of a home being such a huge component of people's overall wealth.

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you want a safe neighborhood? Do you want a good job with good benefits? Do you want a high quality, well funded public school? So do I. We’re far more the same than we are different. As one team, we’re unstoppable.

James Talarico: False claims got millions of views — and this is an example of what I call the ‘rage economy.’ Billionaires who own these platforms get rich, we get angry, and nobody’s life gets better. Conspiracy theories don’t put food on the table, put gas in the tank, or improve our communities.

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

James Talarico just summed up the entire midterm election in one sentence: “We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.” That’s it. This entire election comes down to affordability vs. corruption. Which one are you voting for?
