Yup.
A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

Yup.
Y'all, I just cannot make Marjorie Taylor Greene into a hero. I'm happy she has atoned for some of her behavior but the hole she has to dig out of rivals the Grand Canyon.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

This. Yesterday was a new low in a series of lows.
It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

It's not that George Soros is funding protestors, it's that the funding hasn't kept pace with the rate of inflation. We're out here in the streets but still getting paid at George W. Bush rates.

This is very exciting. Pfizer’s mRNA flu vaccine substantially outperformed the traditional/control vaccine. This cumulative incidence graph is remarkable. Again, they’re comparing the mRNA flu vaccine to an existing flu vaccine, not to a placebo @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Whenever I watch the (1988) movie "The Naked Gun," I am shocked by the smog blanketing the LA skyline. We are all SO much better off now because we began taking some action to clean up our climate messes.
Let's celebrate our wins and keep up the good work!

Growing up in LA in the 1970s and 1980s, we routinely had smog alert days when we weren’t allowed to have lunch or recess outside. Your eyes would sting all the time and if I played outside my lungs would burn at the end of the day. It’s vastly better now. But I guess that’s woke?
