@fakedansavage What about a kids menu but for adults, like what they did on an episode of Difficult People 😆

@johnsummit And so I applaud her. She kept going and is there doing something she wants to do and that gives her joy when a lot of other people would have given up. Also a lot of DJs take themselves way too seriously. She does not. It’s music. It’s fun. It can be silly and joyous

@johnsummit Which is what she did. And then she decided to take something that probably caused her a lot of pain and embarrassment as a kid and turned it around, and worked to re-create the narrative around it. She’s reclaiming her power from something that was used to strip her of it

We've talked about healthcare collapse a number of times over the years and I think it's important that collapse looks and feels different depending on where in the puzzle your piece fits.

For the first time in my own career as an internal med doc, I've seen the day where my colleagues can no longer safely admit patients from the ER.

Weird, true DC story thread:

I began my career working for a member of Congress, and I still have an account with the Congressional credit union. I needed to go to one of their branches yesterday afternoon, so I drove up to the Hill…..

Horrific. In Plainfield, IL, a 71 year old man is in custody for stabbing to death an 6-year-old Palestinian child named Wadea Al-Fayoume & nearly killing his mother.😓

The murderer stabbed 26 times & yelled "you Muslims must die!"😳

No charges filed yet

So the whole point of the “Twitter files” was that Biden was colluding with Twitter to remove damaging info from the site but it turns out Musky was served with a warrant from the DOJ for Trump’s account and not only did he refuse to comply but he warned Trump that they were trying to obtain his data.

Justice Thomas has brought shame upon himself and the United States Supreme Court with his acceptance of massive, repeated and undisclosed gifts. No government official, elected or unelected, could ethically or legally accept gifts of that scale. He should resign immediately.

Others have pointed this out, but this renaming is stepping on the exact same rake that got him ousted by PayPal. Wrote about this in my book

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to “form a more perfect union” that includes all of us.

Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

The same Supreme Court that overturned Roe now refuses to follow the plain language of the law on student loan cancellation. This fight is not over. The President has more tools to cancel student debt — and he must use them.
