“Family values” is doing a LOT of unpaid overtime in the Republican Party. Lauren Boebert is running for reelection, and I’m willing to bet Republicans won’t be giving her the Eric Swalwell treatment.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

Cheat like hell is the Trump family motto.

The president ordered supporters to raise their right hands, proclaim him the greatest president in history, and promise to “cheat like hell” before warning nonvoters that they would “go to hell.”

Just checking in. Is Mitch still dead?

40% more kids are eating breakfast and 15% more are eating lunch since we launched free school meals in Minnesota. Now we’re making sure 100% of kids eat their broccoli.

I’ve been hesitant to go this far - because I think party division will only hurt us in November - but seriously, fuck Fetterman.

The cuts of meat aren’t fresh sirloins, rib-eyes, or filets. They’re lean beef trimmings that will be added to fattier American cuts to make ground beef. They’re small chunks of frozen meat that could have been kept in cold storage overseas for years. Enjoy! www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Remember that time Mitch McConnell died and they just pretended he didn’t so they could keep collecting checks? Should make for a quirky HBO comedy someday.

OMG everyone! I’ve found Mitch McConnell!

They better start thawing ole Mitch McConnell out then. It’s gonna take a little while. A big turkey can take up to a week in the refrigerator

I’m sure they have nothing to worry about. He was breaking down policy and midterm strategy with Scott Jennings so he’ll be ready to go.

For reference: When I had my background check it was held up because I had a speeding ticket from when I went home sophomore year in college that I forgot to put on my SF-86. I got grilled about why I didn’t disclose it (they eventually believed it was mistake). The FBI as we knew it is gone.

FIRST ON CBS NEWS: A history of hiring prostitutes or stealing from work may no longer be a barrier to employment at the FBI.

And a child trafficer.

The President of the United States is a traitor and a rapist.

RFK Jr’s brain is eaten up by worms and drugs and the 🍊🤡s brain is just ate up. Maybe don’t take medical advice from those old fools.

The New Yorker@newyorker.com · 4w ago

R.F.K., Jr., has argued that “there is no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.” But he has struggled to actualize his maximalist rhetoric in the way that other Trump Administration officials have theirs. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

A message from the family of Dolly Parton. 🙏

El-Sayed: I thought you were for the everyday man. If you're for billionaires, you and I disagree. Watters: I just think I have the right to the fruits of my own labor El-Sayed: Billionaires don't make their money off of their labor. They make their money off their money

Now this takes the cake: a Supreme Court justice thanks Republican senators for 'having his back'!? Does anybody remember . . . judicial independence? open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Check your Secretary of State’s website - they’ll have information for you. It seems like a lot of them are going to be letting you pick a ballot up in person and then mail it in after you fill it out.

Not Your Sharona@shar34.bsky.social · 4w ago

So what is going to happen to states that have been only voting by mail for years? We have 72 days to re-establish and entire system?

Jokes on them because I’m not buying any beef.

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 4w ago

Florida’s cattle ranchers are criticizing Trump’s move to import 300,000 tons of tariff-free beef to lower prices for consumers.

Under Trump, Protected Wild Horses Are Going to Slaughter

A legal loophole allows the government to sell mustangs on the cheap, stripping them of protections and clearing their path to destruction.

Jared Kushner couldn’t even get a security clearance in Trump’s first term. What was he privately discussing with Hakeem Jeffries that couldn’t have been discussed with someone else?

While most kids begin back to school, 5-year old Liam is spending his second week in Dilley Detention center where people are mistreated, malnourished, and kept in conditions made to break their health and spirits. He was detained along with his dad on their way to his soccer practice.

Salt river horses removal is canceled and protected until 2028. VOTE BLUE

Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner met today to see what they have in common. It turns out to be only one thing: A stupefying fear of progressive Democrats accomplishing lots of things that will help people.

School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is crazy.

MAGA hates that we are making fun of Trump's girlfriend. So, onward...
