To answer folks asking why these flags are in my bio... 🇺🇸-Because liberals love 'Merica too! 🏳️‍🌈-To support gay friends and fam. 🇺🇦-Because opposing Russian aggression is good. 🇮🇱-For my 1/4 Jewish DNA (and to trigger Nazis). 🏴‍☠️-Because pirates be cool, me hearty, arrr.

Probably the same thing Michelle Obama was saying about it.

What does RFK Jr. say about our sedentary lifestyle?

What could possibly go wrong, comrade?

Trump’s transition team is bypassing traditional FBI background checks for at least some of his Cabinet picks while using private companies to conduct vetting of potential candidates for administration jobs. cnn.com/2024/11/15/pol…

In light of the RFK Jr news, I revisited this 2020 piece on fluoridation of water—the evidence is not as clear-cut as I thought. The studies are mostly bad: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Thinking of treating students’ grades like credit history: “Can I see my grade?” “Sure, but a hard pull is going to drop it.”

Who will be the first person to have their account suspended here and then file suit on First Amendment grounds on the theory that it constitutes state action because Musk heads a government agency?

Yep, totally. “TDS” is supporting the nominees who are actually conservative and arguing against the appointment of a guy Obama considered to head up the EPA and threatened to jail “climate deniers.” Surely the people supporting the far-left kook aren’t the ones who are deranged.

She is clearly suffering from TDS and is going to act out every announce lol



"We are going to stop this crime." Does RFKjr truly believe chem-trails (known to sane people as "condensation trails" or "contrails") are a government conspiracy? I can't know, but his words feed the worst kind of conspiracy-mongering. Chem-trails, Jesus.

having now listened to this full election recap, I have a simple solution for how Democrats can sweep the next election and unite the country: Run a single-issue campaign on sending John Oliver back to England

John Oliver explains how Democrats can respond to the trans issue. All they need to do is tell people there's no evidence that trans girls are at an unfair advantage or pose a threat to safety in athletic competition.

Root causes.

why is every dentist in Congress a Republican?

TRUMP'S CHOICES Rubio - Secretary of State (sane) Hegseth - Secretary of Defense 🤡 Gaetz - Attorney General 🤡🤡🤡 Noem - Homeland Security 🤡 Gabbard - National Intelligence 🤡🤡🤡🤡 RFKjr - Health and Human Services 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Trump's 1st term picks were worlds better.

Jared Polis's mistake is pretty representative of this stuff. RFK, as a private citizen, was helpful in one narrow policy fight. Doesn't mean you make him HHS secretary! Similar with Trump. "He has a point about political correctness" doesn't mean "give him the nuclear codes."


Carl Reposted

John Oliver, in arguing how the Dems should respond to the trans kids issue, falsely claims “there is no evidence” trans kids “pose any threat” to fairness in sports. There absolutely is evidence that trans females have a competitive advantage.


This is why Biden said “fund, fund, FUND the police.” The Democratic Party has been shaking itself loose from its crazy progressive tail, but it needs to do so even more firmly to win elections in the future.

I’m to the left of the median voter, but not incredibly so. However, I live among progressives, and to them I seem right wing! It’s often annoying!

"The data shows Democrats taking a sharp turn leftward on social issues over the past decade. This has distanced them from the median voter. Notably, the shift began in 2016. This suggests that Trump’s election radicalised the left, not the right."

Unfortunately, RFK Jr. does not seem to understand that the problem with our food system is the UBIQUITOUS EXISTENCE OF CHEAP, CALORIE-DENSE, HIGHLY PALATABLE FOOD. That's it. That's the whole problem. It has precisely nothing to do with food dye or high fructose corn syrup.

“I talked to a dozen editors last week to check in with them and to see what they were planning to do for political books in a Trump era. They were all exhausted at the thought of doing more anti-Trump books.” politico.com/news/magazine/…



Carl Reposted

This is blatantly dishonest. If Joe Biden HADN'T welcomed Trump to the White House, Greenwald and Musk would have raised holy hell. But because he DID—as presidents are supposed to do, only Trump didn't—they suggest he's somehow a hypocrite. Bad faith takes are all they have.

Read ⁦@ezraklein⁩ on the mysterious power of the groups. What I was told about this by members who back the bill is that EJ groups with no concrete leverage were just very effective at persuading non-specialist staffers — more a question of epistemics than power.

How bad can it Gaetz? RFKjr says, “Hold my bear!”

"Act Normal" is a winning campaign message at this point.

That long left tail gets you — act more normal, everyone!
