I’m trying to build a news and information feed, so I am not much of a “follow back” person. My apologies. I like medicine, science, politics and things that are funny.

I would like a candidate who says “Every bad thing you’ve heard about me is probably true. I might not remember some of it. But…yeah, sorry. I’m trying to be better.” And then do that.

Can I get a shoutout from the "cost of freedom" folks now? Anyone? JD Vance? Erika Kirk? Markwayne Mullin? Anyone?

While the President and the Press whine about a guy with a gun getting into a building where they were gathered, it's worth remembering that the Uvalde shooter walked around the outside of the school with a gun but nobody shot at him because he hadn't "committed a crime" yet.

Hint to Congress: Start compiling a list of members who think DJT should be removed. They don’t have to agree on the reason; they just think he should go. All you need to make it happen is 2/3 and a deal with JD Vance.

Sigh. I hate it when I get out ahead of my skis. I looked at the language of 25 A 4 again, and there's an "or of" that means that even if Congress designates itself the body that administers the removal, the VP still has to start the process. Time to make a deal with JD I guess.

I AmErica @erica1933.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
Ok here's how a 25A removal by Congress could work. 1. Congress says the reading of 25A 4 means the VP & Cabinet are one entity & process does NOT have to be started by VP. 2. Congress declares itself the body that can remove POTUS & votes on it. 3. Congress votes to remove POTUS. 4. POtUS....

Hey @asharangappa.bsky.social I'm pretty serious about using 25A Sec 4 to remove Trump from the presidency for unfitness, using a 2/3 Congressional majority to steer VP and Cabinet out of the loop, overcome a veto, and make the removal permanent. What say you?

I just want to be clear that invoking the 25th Amendment is a non-starter. You need the VP and/or a majority of cabinet. Scroll down this list of MAGA losers and religious nuts, and see how many you think would sign on. Thank you for your attention. www.whitehouse.gov/administrati...

Hey @kiva.org, people in Minneapolis and St. Paul are facing eviction due to ICE disruptions in the city! Covering rent is a big ask for mutual aid. Can you step in so people can donate to a loan fund? It would really help stretch the dollars. Thanks for all you do!

To refresh everyone’s memory, we’ve only had a Department of Homeland Security for 25 years. It was formed after 9/11, and even then it had unclear objectives and a fascist-y sounding name. We could just…get rid of it and farm out the duties to other departments. 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone know about Renee Good's wife? I saw a post claiming that she "allegedly has a long rap sheet." I haven't been able to find out anything except an article behind a paywall that says she's a handywoman. I suspect that "allegedly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I don’t know why my posts didn’t thread. ….but here’s the part that breaks me about this whole Epstein thing. Even the smallest admission of bad behavior would require these men to see young women with modest means and few options as actual human beings who deserve respect and care, not shitty…

A weird thing about this whole Trump, Prince Andrew, Epstein situation is that if any of these men could indicate that they’ve learned anything, they’d be given some grace. The Steubenville football rape case moved our understanding of consent forward. The Me Too movement…1/x

People saying Trump didn’t “do” anything with Guiffre are missing the point. If they spent hours together, presumably they talked. Trump knew Guiffre’s situation and didn’t try to help her or any of the other girls that Epstein trafficked. THAT’S the point. Trump knew the ick and was fine with it.

Eight million of us didn’t go stand in the streets with signs so you guys could re-open the government without extending the ACA subsidies. Come on now.

Hey Republicans, today would be a good day to extend ACA subsidies, re-open the government, and release the Epstein files. You know, fresh start.

The lasting impact of the NO KINGS protests won’t just be in the huge urban crowds, but in Republican neighborhoods and small towns where a few people got together to stand on a street corner and say “That’s enough, Donald.”

Karoline Leavitt’s lips today: colossal misstep on her part. Her whole brand is “everything’s fine.” And then she goes and undermines it by changing something essential about her image. Just dumb.

Pushing back on the “leftist”accusations, may I point out that the relationship between Robinson and partner was totally tradwife? Definitely a “my darling, why don’t you shelter here in the covered wagon whilst I defend your honor by shooting some indians” vibe. Very Mormon.

Not my idea, but brilliant: Reporters covering Trump need to begin as many questions as possible with “Sir, can you explain your failure to….?” Eg failure to end the Ukraine war on day 1, failure to lower the price of gas to $2, failure to lower egg prices, etc.

Ted Cruz criticizing Trump is interesting. Cruz is entirely unmotivated by ethics or morality, so that’s not why he called Trump a mob boss. Does he feel that Trump is vulnerable?

Let's make the switch from talking about "separation of church and state" to talking about "separation of POWERS of church and state." What does separation of powers of church and state really mean and why is it important, especially when we talk about Russell Vought and Project 2025? Discuss.

I’m pretty mad at some of you conspiracy theorists for making me consider, even for a moment, the idea that Charlie Kirk may have staged his own death so he could come back from the dead in three day’s time. Those were perfectly good brain cells and now I have to throw them away.

What if Trump isn’t in the Epstein files as a perpetrator but the whole business of how bad the abuse and coverup really was, makes everyone decide they never want to deal with or trust any of the people involved ever again? Including, and maybe especially, the guy who insisted he had no idea.

PBS News Hour host said the Trump Admin is attacking Columbia University about speech they find antisemitic and offensive. NEWS FLASH: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT FIND ANYTHING OFFENSIVE. All the pearl clutching is a trick. Let’s be clear on this.

Republicans and docile Democrats need to understand that one way to think of this bill is as a giant Do Not Resuscitate order for anyone old, poor or disabled. If people didn’t figure it out during the Trump Response to COVID, they certainly should get it now.
