The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.

Looting Venezuela while using the shell of Maduro’s regime as gang enforcers rather than attempting to create a legitimate democratic regime is really evil.

Very excited to share something we built at @EconomicSecProj: the Affordability Dashboard.

There's a bunch of scattered data, national and state, I'm always pulling, stuff useful for politicos, reporters, and activists on affordability, so we vibe-coded it all into one place. /1

All of this is stupid and offensive but I burst out laughing when he claims that the opening line of The Godfather, “I believe in America,” is intended as an unironic example of how earlier immigrants were more patriotic. This person has a PhD from Columbia!

Obviously the WI Gov general election will look vastly different depending on how these last few thousand votes go in the D primary, but it is worth noting that Dems are on track to cast over 50% more votes than Republicans tonight.

There is zero reason to not take Trump at his word that he and his team are planning sonething alarming to disrupt the midterms and beyond.

Don't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym.

It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

In the US the total routine injections by age 2, is 13.

They are:

Hep B, Valexis (DTaP, IPV, Hib), PCV, Valexis dose 2, PCV dose 2, Vaxelis dose 3, PCV dose 3, PCV booster, MMR(V), Hib booster, Hepatitis A #1, DTaP booster, Hepatitis A #2

In Denmark, by age 2 it is 11 doses because they combine their hepatitis boosters with the MMRV doses.

Even with voluntary inoculations, no child in the US has 72 injections.

The average American who is not diabetic, will take 53~ years to reach 72 injections, assuming they get an annual flu shot.

There also is no blanket “European Standard” of inoculation, it varies by country with Denmark being the lowest because they have approved combination doses.

A child in Denmark still gets all the same vaccines that a US child did before Trump’s proposed changes.

They just think you’re too stupid to look.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

The mental image of Trump hiding from Iran in a catering cart is devastating. A weak, stupid old man hiding from the consequences of his own decision while endangering others.

North Korea’s full name is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Per Musk, North Korea is a democracy.
