Hot take: having an incoherent septuagenarian scream-lecture America like a man arguing with a self-checkout machine that keeps yelling “unexpected item in the bagging area” might not actually be the emotional support animal we need right now.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I asked Rep. Jasmine Crockett @jasmineforus.bsky.social about Speaker Mike Johnson saying he's "absolutely delighted" she's running for Senate, and comparing her to NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

Bryan Reisberg spends one day a week taking shelter dogs out of their kennels, slipping them in a “adopt me” backpack and carrying them around New York.
His goal is to help people see shelter dogs the way he does: curious, sweet and full of potential. https://wapo.st/4iPToS0

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

Some people speaking during the ACIP public comment section are showing their true colors by calling Hepatitis B infection "a disease of junkies, gays, and promiscuous heteros".
