I told my doctor to give my kid her HPV vaccine this year, even though it's earlier than they usually do (but still in guidelines).

It felt ridiculous. A harmless overreaction, I'd sure have a laugh at myself later!

I'm not laughing.

I have a 5th grader who is learning to write essays, and this seems on par or a little below what she tends to produce

For college? Redundant, solipsistic, and tautological in that it never addresses obvious challenges (did God make non-conforming men and women wrong? Why would He do that?)

I must have watched The Blood of Heroes 20 times.

It's really exposed how little elites - especially Republicans and conservatives - care about core American values.

They are STILL carrying water for a guy with an approval rating in the thirties.

It's absolutely pathetic.

Happened first with farmworkers. 💯 ended up with more winners than losers in the long run.

But it was and is terrible that we allow all the profits of automation to flow to the owners and rich investors, and the workers get absolutely screwed.

My grandmother, we have no idea. Unlike my grandfather, there's no record of her citizenship. Based on things my dad said, we suspect she did it 40 or 50 years after she arrived, probably when my grandfather started getting social security and they wanted to make her eligible.

My grandfather did it "the right way."

In the 1920s this was filing out a form in a port overseas, getting on a boat, getting a series of gigs as a laborer, elevator operator, and a YEAR LATER signing a form at an office where he told the king of England to eff off.

Boom, citizenship done.

Is it standard for military housing to include a sub zero refrigerator???

And marble countertops, islands and backsplashes?

Not to mention what looks like a Bosch or Wolf gas cooktop, and either a microwave drawer or multiple wall ovens.

LOL, I hope she visits him just to laugh at him and leave.

10/10, love this for her.

He's the First Lady.

He's building a ballroom.

That's what he's doing. Meeting with architects and decorators and designers.

Picking out foam shapes to gild and stick to the walls.

Choosing pictures to hang in the White House. Paving over the Rose Garden.

He's the First Lady.

I'm hoping they go Byzantine Rite. Those patriarchs can DRESS.

In the pandemic, public health couldn't use phones to trace because of this.

But also they could have used commercially available location tracking and ads on phones to alert people to exposures - but didn't because tech industry didn't want people to realize their privacy is so compromised.

Of course Trump is going to allow them to kill thousands of rather than be slightly inconvenienced.

Kind of shows you how dumb all these people calling Trump "populist" for fawning all over Mamdani are.

He simply wants to be accepted by powerful people and groups.

It's all he ever wants.

If the rank and file didn't hate him before, they will truly despise him now.

They get peeved when *civilians* screw this up.

It's literally his job to know this.

I hear this but then I see a gallon of ice cream for $7 (not the fancy stuff) and a bag of chocolate chips for $6.50.

There is something weird happening with costs. Maybe our survey samplers are broken, maybe the distribution of spiking cost matters, idk. But people tend to be right about this.

(Actually "no taxation w/o representation" hit so hard because 100 years prior, Puritans had beheaded Charles I for raising and spending money without Parliament's consent. It was a BFF to the founders, they'd 💯 be raising an army over USAiD, DOE, the ballroom, etc.)

Impeach RFK Jr. Impeach Kash Patel.

Don't consolidate Trump's faltering support by going after him.

Make his underlings stressed out so they're all paranoid and spending more time covering themselves than implementing the dismantling of America's greatness.

Cassidy can call for RFK's impeachment on the grounds of perjury before Congress.

The fact is, he isn't.

He still thinks this man is fit to run HHS.

Which tells you all you need to know about Cassidy.

Local news in Chicago has restored my faith in humanity. Their ICE coverage has been incredible. Just absolutely straight, but they KNOW their turf, so they absolutely see through and are disgusted by the BS and outright lies.
