Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

The people who lost their minds over the “tyranny” of gas stove regulations seem to have no problem with Trump’s attack on Iran that lacks any Congressional authorization

Under the US Constitution, only Congress has the authority to declare war. Where are all the conservative originalists and literalists right now?

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer.

I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

CHOP has taken care of both my kids, most recently when my daughter had thyroid cancer this past fall.

I am so fucking mad at these goddamn ghouls.
Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic.

This is devastating
These overhead rates are negotiated. Lowering it unilaterally to 15% is another way to destroy science in the US. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

So is Trump going to create a cool new fake “department” to put RFK Jr in charge of like Elon/Vivek, where he will also get to conduct a series of blue ribbon panels and discussions, then issue a series of recommendations to the people really in charge who won’t follow them.
