this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

As of today, both the House and Senate have passed this idiotic bill. It now heads to the president's desk.

Whenever possible I put both kids on the back of a cargo bike to go places. The 2 year old hates it if we have to take the car anywhere. 🚲💪

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

Yes, it raises my blood pressure every time I drive past. In fact essentially everything lining 101. Or just driving on 101... or driving anywhere. Is this what it feels like to be old?

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

None of these Democrats should enjoy a moment's peace. Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gillibrand (NY) Hassan (NH) Peters (MI) Schatz (HI) Schumer (NY) Shaheen (NH) They've effectively just voted for Donald Trump's agenda without putting up a fight. Never let them hear the end of it.

Ffs, we're in desperate need of an opposition party. I called my senators. You can too; it's less painful than you imagine. Likely just leaving a voicemail. If you're in New York, please add your voice. No on cloture, no on the House CR. And uh, no to this Dem "leadership".

I am fully vaccinated and my MMR titer came back negative last year, meaning my immunity was gone sooner than expected. I needed to get re-vaccinated. Now is a great time to get checked at your doctor's office or any lab test facility: LabCorp, quest, etc.

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

This past year United Healthcare initially denied the planned, entirely routine, in network, and plainly covered birth of my son because it was "expensive" and "maybe we would pay some". (Literally what I was told when I called.) We found out months later with a $40k hospital bill in the mail.

Oof. NYT continues to crank it out. By working class the author must mean "white" in which case the answer is racism with a tinge of ignorance fostered by a toxic media ecosystem. In other news, I subscribed to my local newspaper.
NYT headline by Adam Seessel in opinion: I spoke to many working-class voters. This is why Trump is their overwhelming choice.

Right now we have Democratic incumbents presiding over the best economy of your lifetime running against the oldest man to ever run for president, who previously tried to overthrow the government, was three months ago convicted of 34 unrelated felonies, and is a rapist. They’re running even.

This. I'd bike commute on it year round, and people including local govt officials treat it like a weird niche hobby when I'm just trying to get to work safely. I have multiple friends with chronic back or leg or foot injuries from being rear ended on 95. Turns out winter driving is dangerous.
