@kirabira I tried shaving—including my arms—when I was 9 or 10. I was home alone, babysitting my sister and gave it a go. (Ah, childhood in the late ‘80s.) I think my legs were covered in nicks. I’m 48 now and am still dangerous with a razor.

@Lpa_Doc Thank you for this. As a heart attack survivor and Horizon participant, this news has me gutted.

El-Sayed: Well, I’ll tell you this. Every time J.D. Vance opens his mouth, the first two things I can think are, man, that guy is boring. And second, Peter Thiel had to spend a ton of money to get that man elected, barely in the state of Ohio. 

But the confusing thing about it is that he thinks that there are some people who are more American than others because they can point to their Papaw who was here earlier. And my question to him is simply, why is it then, how do you look your parents-in-law in the eye and say that somehow they’re less American than you are? Because that’s what he’s implying there.

But bigger picture, this is about trying to change the channel. They’re trying to dissuade us from actually paying attention to the issues that we see laid bare when we talk about our kitchen table budget every single month.

My name and my background aren’t raising your gas prices. That’s what the Trump administration is doing. My name and my background aren’t picking trade wars to increase your costs. That’s what the Trump administration is doing. My name and my background aren’t the reason you can’t see a doctor. That’s because of the Medicaid cuts and the ACA cuts that are about to come down the pike next year because of what the Trump administration is doing.

So if you don’t want to talk about what you’re doing, that’s fine, but I encourage you to leave my name and my background out of it. This is an America that’s big enough for all of us, even if J.D. Vance doesn’t agree, except for the fact that he actually understands and benefits from the nature of immigration and the fact that we are a bigger country because we are inclusive of people who don’t have Papaws who were here 50 years ago.

Bravo to @hannah_natanson, whose Pulitzer Prize reporting overcame an outrageous and chilling FBI raid on her home, a threat to journalism in this country

A collection of the dumbest dudes you knew from high school felt emasculated when a black man got elected president, so, to compensate, we now have a semi-sentient pig’s stomach in a red hat starting an illegal war to distract the country from all the sex crimes he committed.

I just woke up and read all of the internet. Really good stuff. Everyone’s doing great. I feel hopeful about things.

Amy Poehler is right. From housing to groceries to health care, the cost of living is out of control. Young people are working twice as hard just to get half as far as their parents – they deserve a fighting chance, and I’m ready to fight for them.

HUGE UPDATE: we confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi. He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive and we will not forget.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: “I don’t know of any peaceful protestor that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.”

Here are four peaceful protests my staff and I have covered at the Ohio Statehouse, from 4/10/20, 1/17/21, 8/24/21 and 7/18/20

Philando Castile was executed in his car in front of his daughter and girlfriend outside of Minneapolis in 2016.

He had a concealed carry permit and informed the officer.

He was brutally murdered.

This terror is not new.

It's extremely good that a Democratic senator is explicitly rejecting his party's old game of pretend powerless. Markey says it right here: "We have the power to end this."

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

Alex Pretti was a 37 year old ICU nurse who put his body between ICE and a woman they were physically assaulting.

They sprayed chemical irritants into his face, beat him, and then shot him to death.
