Wanna work for RFK Jr. at HHS? Be prepared for questions about: — “I don’t have much interest in having sexual experiences with another person” — “As an adolescent, I had bizarre fantasies or preoccupations” — “I consistently use my physical appearance to draw attention to myself” h/t @puck.news

My dream is a believable tim walz type who runs for congress and runs on getting city folks tax money to pay for rural improvements and to bring back jobs. Devil went down to Georgia could be his campaign song and he runs on being the folk hero who outsmarts the devil, then just pushes dem policies

Something i would love is if people would start hammering home that the gop is less pro sustainability(aka eco friendly) than fucking exxonmobil. All the shit the gop keeps fighting to be undone is stuff people in the industry just aren't interested in/capable of doing anymore.

A happy memory. When i went to the fdr memorial in DC, i saw two young boys playing together like a scene from a movie. I like to think fdr would have cried happy tears if he could have seen that scene and it's why we need to fight to save America from itself.

Psa for women, if you have a rough period after getting the covid vax, it's just a side effect. Last year I was anxious I was having an ectopic pregnancy and this year I'm experiencing similar (I don't get periods normally) it will pass and it's okay.

Some of you may know former Congressman Long from the time that he drowned out Laura Loomer’s protesting during a House hearing. Long, who is a professional auctioneer, started auctioning off Loomer’s phone when she wouldn’t stop disrupting the hearing. Wait for it…

Screenshot of a Twitter exchange. Marjorie Taylor Greene suggests Trump could pardon them if Democrats play the pardon game. Laura Loomer comments, interpreting Greenes statement as an admission of needing a pardon.

Statement by the American Society of Anesthesiologists:
“In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. 

The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.”

Something I wish dems had done more. That interview with elon that dump did, theres a part where he's laughing gleefully about union busting and giving people paycuts. Why tf didn't they make that a central attack ad? Show it at every damn union rally!

Something to take heart in. The gop is making some very concerning moves. The good thing about this is that either it's bluster or they will try too hard too fast to cause harm. Often the fiercest opponents were the most passionate lovers and maga will quickly realize that change doesn't mean good.

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

In this Ohio town, it was a tradition: early morning mass, biscuits and gravy and Bob Evans, then down to a Louisiana strip club to get wasted and grope the dancers. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

RFK Jr. is a fraud. Always has been.
Post:

In the last couple of weeks RFK has been seen on camera popping zyn nicotine pouches, eating McDonald’s, deep frying a turkey in tallow, and discussing 15 years of heroin use. This is the guy promising to “make America healthy”?

If people want to go back to the 50s, are they prepared for losing a ton of creature comforts? You cut your kids hair with a bowl, no internet, you get a bike every few years, clothes are all hand me downs, parents beat you if you mouth off to your teacher, and you are gonna make do with stick ball.

To be clear DO NOT freak out about the horrible things trump is saying he's going to do. That's what they want. Lib tears. Get a good poker face and keep those feelings in dms. A lot of these policies are going to hurt his supporters the most so let them cry in public.

I work in manufacturing. If you think I'm NOT passing a 25% tariff onto you, you're mistaken. And that will happen at every level. This will lose a ton of manufacturing too. Trump is committed to taking our jobs and giving Mexico a golden age of manufacturing.

will no one save us from the mobs of marauding Canadians
the tangerine tyrant posted: As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border. On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!

Rampell: If you look at whom Trump prioritized for deportation in his first term, it was not the criminals. He released more convicted criminals convicted and charged criminals into the US than Biden did because he was filling up his jails with asylum seekers and TPS recipients
