‘Eric Schmitt’ will now be synonymous with Congressional public hearing f***-ups. His name will become shorthand: “Wow, that Congressman really Schmitt the bed with that question.”

This is community in action. ❤️ At OBKLA, thousands of volunteers from all walks of life come together to prepare meals for their neighbors. Witnessing their selflessness left me inspired and even more determined to keep fighting so every Angeleno has access to healthy food.

Add this to the list of recent food recalls. Maybe it would be more efficient to tells us what we CAN eat at this point. 🤦‍♀️

GOP doesn't care about these kids because they've already been born, and are obviously not a part of the privileged caste. Tax cuts for billionaires is a more important priority than starving children.

What will be the long term ramifications of terrorizing citizens, intentionally deporting immigrants to alien or hostile countries, detaining, abusing and depriving people in ICE detention centers that function like budding concentration camps? It SHOULD forever destroy Republicanism in America!

The new Resident Evil is a fun ride with great pacing, a well developed main character, a great balance of humor and horror (including one jump scare that made me literally scream and grab my partner) and lots of nods to the game. Loved it and will gladly see it again.

It's super cool how Trump canceled fuel efficiency standards, electric vehicle rebates, and illegally ended billions upon billions of dollars of wind and solar energy projects already under construction just before he blew up the entire Middle East for no fucking reason.

Workers now produce roughly 40% more per hour than they did in the late 1990s. But we're not working shorter weeks, retiring earlier and living more comfortably asa result. Instead people are struggling to pay for the heating, food and bills at the same time. We're being robbed blind.

Intuit paid $0 in taxes on $6 billion in profits. They're the same company that lobbied Congress to kill the FREE IRS Direct File program (the one that let regular people file for free). They fought to keep you paying them to do your taxes. And they don't even pay their own.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

FDA (20 years ago): This milk has been sourced from a meticulously inspected dairy farm, and has been through a certified pasteurization process. FDA (today): Look, it's liquid, and it's from a cow. At least that's what they tell us. It's fine, probably.
