I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

On Thursday, with hatred twisting his snarling face, Trump lunged at a woman reporter. For a moment, it looked like he was going to physically assault her. “Not you. Not you,” Trump said. Then came the lunge and the monstrous face, “Hey, not you!” Link in comments ⤵️

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

We aren’t Great… If America is the greatest country in the world... Why are millions afraid to call an ambulance? Why do people ration insulin? Why do families hold bake sales to pay for chemotherapy? Those aren't signs of greatness. They're signs that something is fundamentally broken.

We need to talk about cyclospora. The team that was tracking it? Donald Trump and RFK Jr. cut it by more than 70%. The surveillance network meant to track it? The Trump Administration made Cyclospora reporting optional and didn't even bother telling the public until two months after they did it.

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
