This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

I'm getting tired of this President using his platform to verbally abuse and demean people in our country just because he can.
Hey dickhead, try doing your job better instead of focusing on all the 1980s put-downs.

Arthur Schopenhauer, a 19th‑century German philosopher, explored the irrationality of human passions. In his work Parerga and Paralipomena (1851), he reflected on how anger clouds reason and destroys the clarity of thought.

RFK Jr. breaks yet another promise. Vaccination rates among children have, fallen for most of the past decade. The vaccine ingredients that activists claim as the cause of autism have long been removed from almost every shot. Yet in that time, the prevalence of autism in children has only grown.

An awesome thing about being a journalist, and not a politician or advocate, is you can say true things even when they’re unpopular. For example, climate change is real, perpetrated by specific actors, harms many people, and should be resolved as fast and thoroughly as possible.
