I read 1984 as a kid and thought the Party’s propaganda was so transparently dumb that it could only exist in satire. Wish I’d been right

Sociopathic RFK Jr. wants to cut 20,000 jobs from Health and Human Services. This will delay health and medical progress for decades.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

There is a reason why Elon and Russ Vought want Congress to pass Speaker Johnson's slush fund CR. We should not let Elon and Trump pick winners and losers or defund programs they either don't like or don't understand. They will hurt blue AND red states. VOTE NO.

Before Trump, never in my lifetime did I think I’d see a President abandon an American ally to side with Vladimir Putin—a Russian dictator who paid the Taliban to kill American soldiers. Aid to Ukraine isn’t charity, it’s an investment in our own national security interests.

President Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for suggesting that the end of Russia's war against Ukraine likely "is still very, very far away."

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond? By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.

While Trump is signing an executive order to try & make sure trans middle schoolers can't play sports with their friends, he's also forcing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to halt any investigations of LGBTQ+ workplace discrimination. It's mean, ugly, & it doesn't help anyone.

RFK Jr. is a uniquely unqualified & dangerous pick to lead HHS. No one should have to die from diseases we can prevent because we told the American people a fringe conspiracy theorist & anti-vaxxer is worth listening to. The full Senate must REJECT RFK Jr.'s nomination.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

In addition to its astonishing illegality and unconstitutionality, Musk’s attempted takeover of all federal HR and spending is scarily likely to have catastrophic unintended consequences. We’re a few errant keystrokes away from a full faith and credit violation that triggers a fiscal crisis.

I do not think that "I complied with pressure from the Biden administration when there were things they could do to me, but now that they can't hurt me any more I will say that my previous compliance was a mistake" is a particularly good way to demonstrate either strength or integrity.

I sometimes feel like credulous (or maybe intentionally blithe) journalists/writers give far too much credence to the idea that various, forgive the terminology, "online tech bros" are not just extreme poseurs. Most of these kids are just dumbasses preening for one another.
