I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside. "With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani. "And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion. These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people. Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis. The truth is we can’t afford not to.

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, nations are still falling short of their commitments to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. More than that, they haven’t shown enough follow-through on the goals they set. Instead, it’s been cities and local governments that have taken the lead.

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims

IRS: Churches should be allowed to make political endorsements
Since 1954, the IRS has banned nonprofits — including congregations — from participating in political campaigns. The agency now says political endorsements by churches should be allowed.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried. It’s. All. Lies. All the time.

Many on Medicaid (those that aren't in nursing homes or disabled) ALREADY HAVE JOBS. Are they supposed to work at night? Are mothers who just gave birth supposed to put their newborns on their backs? Who will pay childcare for children too big to carry? When are "able-bodied" supposed to sleep?

The 34 million able-bodied: 1) This does NOT mean they are able bodied. As a doctor who sees Medicaid patient, they NOT "able bodied" 2) As to having them work in agriculture: They are not where the work is. You'll have transport, house & feed them. These are just the practical, not moral issues.

LOOK AT TODAY’S BEAUTIFUL NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD!!! 🌌
Part of a nebula in space. Layers of gas and dust clouds in different colors, from blue and green shades to pink, red, and black, each indicating light emitted by different molecules, comprise the nebula. The background cloud layers are thicker and puffier, though still translucent, and the upper layers are thin and bright at the edges. Behind the clouds are many small, mostly orange and some blue, stars.
