The corporate infotainment media should take a cognitive test.

What a surprise. There is simply no electorate as hopelessly stupid, utterly nihilist and self-loathing as rural Oklahoma. The absolute dumbest species on the entire planet. Completely irredeemable in every way

I hope everyone understands that the $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran will go to Trump-aligned contractors who will give a cut to the big guy, pocket the rest, and build nothing. The Iran war was another massive Trump grift.

BREAKING: The Reflecting Pool is reportedly being filled with so much chlorine, bleach, and other chemicals to kill the proliferating algae that health experts are warning the water is now a fire hazard that could release chlorine gas all over the National Mall.

You do not earn a billion dollars. You steal it. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a teacher, or a farmer. That wealth comes from underpaying the people who actually did the work. Stop praising hoarders who are just really good at wage theft.

Just to be clear, I do not just haťe generative Al. I also haťe golf, lawns, space tourism, war, monoculture farming, clear cutting forests, building on floodplains, deep sea mining, developments that destroy habitats, and corporations bulldozing ecosystems for endless growth.

yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??

is that not a fucked up system ?!

[Michael O’Brien @DrOBrienMD]

Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…

Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?

[Larry Buhl @LarryBuhl]

@brianschatz We also deserve an explanation for starting this debacle.

Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE.

This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now.

Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible.

One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it."

Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover.

The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen.

The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment.

What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement?

JD Vance promoting his book about finding his way back to faith while helping manage Situation Room meetings on how to cover up for pedophiles is about as Republican as it gets.
