The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Did @chriscuomo.bsky.social just say that the USA would do better with a parliamentary system? My husband argues that India should ditch its parliament and switch to our Presidential system. 😅🍸

Still one of the most trustworthy sources that my husband (R) and I (D) can both listen to without one of us rolling our eyes and slipping some vodka into the tomato juice.
Happy New Year 2026, Timmy! (I heard a Congresswoman call you that. Lol)

"No son, that's the opposition. The enemy is behind you," quipped Winston Churchill, referring to his own back bench.

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids.

Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.

The power dynamics are different, but something about Rubio being in Panama with a message that he and the people he's delivering it to know is nonsense, on behalf of someone they both know is a moron, reminds me of a story from back in ~1990, when I was still living a Bohemian lifestyle.
