RFK Jr. isn’t terrible because he used heroin. Frankly, I wouldn’t care if he was using currently. He’s terrible bc he is an unqualified, science-denying, eugenicist, sex pest who wants to force his conspiracy beliefs onto other people - especially children - & has gotten people killed w/o remorse.

I feel like we have to do this all the time... I don't care that RFK did drugs. Plenty of people have done drugs without dismantling decades of public trust in health and science. People with substance use disorder get stigmatized enough. H/t @epiren.bsky.social

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.

I've seen this making the rounds but did anyone else catch the KEY WORDS about that poll? It WAS NOT a random poll, thus is not generalizable to all Americans. A poll of their readers is just that, a poll of THEIR readers. I'm sure if Fox ran this same poll they'd get the opposite results.

Yeah well hopefully Americans will vote smarter next time. Because what he’s become was predictable.

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

While the original breathalyzer was created by a UC Berkeley biochemist, and the modern one was invented by a cop, some misinformed people are demanding cannabis cultivators - farmers - create a cannabis breathalyzer. Why should the cannabis industry be held to a double standard?

Data Centers in VA impacted electricity in half of the nation. This is terrifying. It’s time for our legislators to step up and protect us. Midterms are in 3 months — vote accordingly! Say NO to Data Centers. 🛑 1/2

I am heartened by the growing bipartisan concern about Flock cameras. I have no illusions that Congress is going to do anything about this issue anytime soon, but this is a sign that our movement is shifting tectonic plates and radically changing public opinion and political will. Keep going.

The proposal comes amid growing national debate over automated license plate readers, which have expanded rapidly across the U.S.

BREAKING NEWS: Angry, old white man who platforms right-wing talking points is not a Democrat. I'm shocked anyone is shocked by this, Maher is steaming hot garbage and has been for years.

KANEW: “Bill Maher says he’s open to voting for Vance in 2028… Bill Maher is not your friend, Democrats. He’s John Fetterman with a talk show. Time to turn him off.”

Musk's argument has the same internal logic of "All squares are rectangles, so all rectangles are squares." Which I truly hope we all know is faulty logic. While all squares ARE rectangles, the vast majority of rectangles ARE NOT squares. And to think, they let that racist idiot run companies.

This post is incorrect. ICE is actually only trained for 47 days now after 47 decided they didn't need to take Spanish language classes. One of the many "fun" facts I learned while reporting on ICE.

The Republican Party has an entire vital infrastructure of businesses, nonprofits and churches that are all extremely vulnerable. Democratic electeds, whenever they have the power, should gleefully take a sledgehammer to whatever piece of it is close by.

I've always found the concept of "virgin" drinks strange. As a kid, I ordered plenty of virgin pina colodas, but as a bartender, I don't like talking about drinks based on their fuckability. Think about it: all drinks are a virgin drink until you do something unspeakably wrong to them.

Mitch McConnell called me and we spoke for about 20 minutes. He apologized for being the worst Mitch ever and agreed that Mitch Hedberg is a wildly underrated comedian that more people should listen to.
