I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Headlines today should be: "Trump calls on his supporters to "cheat like hell" in 2026 election." Followed by: "Trump was charged with crimes for attempting to overturn the 2020 election and incited the Jan 6 terrorist attack to remain in power despite losing." But corporate media won't do that!

Parts of Ohio are still without power and waiting on FEMA. The Strategic Reserve is at its lowest point in history. Gas prices are at seasonal record highs. Beef prices are at record highs period. Trump: best I can do is fake rename Lake Ontario and import diseased beef

I feel increasingly checked out from it all. Knowing every day is the best it will ever be going forward and it will only get worse for years to come feels incredibly bleak. It feels like 2016 was our Rome in 476. A moment we only later realize in retrospect marked a breaking point.

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.

Japanese engineers have developed a new method to recover 90% of lithium from used electric vehicle batteries by swapping standard sodium hydroxide for recovered lithium hydroxide in the chemical refining process. In America, we are making it impossible to afford learning the skills to do this.

I hope every day you all are trying to cultivate joy. A kindness to a neighbor. A long walk. Poetry. Birdwatching. Meditation. Being silly and playing peekaboo in a checkout line with a cute baby. These are dark times, and joy is something the bastards cannot take from us. Fight for it.
