Fucking great, he can get a covid vaccine but the rest of the population has to beg for a prescription and pay through the nose to get one.

I had not seen one until tonight. Hubs spotted one a few moths back, thought it was a mini bear, I crowd sourced on SM media and the consensus was that it was a Fisher Cat. They are shy and fast. Fun fact, the screams commonly attributed to them are likely Red Foxes.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

The forever chemical PFNA is so hazardous that the EPA struck an agreement with 8 companies to phase it out nearly two decades ago.

Now an EPA report on its harms sits in limbo, and the Trump administration won’t say when it will be released.

By @fastlerner.bsky.social

Scientists Completed a Toxicity Report on This Forever Chemical. The EPA Hasn’t Released It.

Agency scientists found that PFNA could cause developmental, liver and reproductive harms. Their final report was ready in mid-April, according to an internal document reviewed by ProPublica, but the ...

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

There should be some kind of term to describe the feeling of watching media who have referred to you as hyperbolic, a disgruntled employee, an angry rape victim, a lunatic, but who now feverishly report everything you said would happen, as it’s happening. & still I cannot get published.

Trump has gone totally mad. It's 25th Amendment time all day, every day. He's living in a totally invented, fictional world. And he's old and in ill-health.

It's outrageous, reckless, choose your word that Republicans haven't done more to deal with this.

Trump: "The restaurants were all closing, now you can't get into a restaurant. They're opening up new restaurants. It took 12 days for us. We sent in not politically correct military. We sent them in based on merit."

This is dangerous misinformation.

Antifa doesn’t exist. It’s not an organization, and it’s not a political group— it’s a PHILOSOPHY.

‘Antifa’ simply means anti-fascist.

If you don’t support fascism, you’re Antifa.

Don’t let morons confuse you.

Now, MAGA, on the other hand—

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.
