[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.

Painfully true

“what radicalized you?” christians not actually following the teachings of jesus

Just read this.

Bit of a long 🧵 but I promise, it is actually going somewhere, not just a rant on Trump's cabinet picks.

But the rant part first:

Marco Rubio (Sec of State)
- More or less qualified, but has become a whipped dog, begging for his master's love, since 2016

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

Vaccines work. Vaccines are safe. Vaccines save lives.

Get yourself and your family vaccinated, while you still can. Seriously.

In fairness, hiring unqualified sycophants for govt positions based on obedience historically tends to always work out really well

And today’s word is….

[BythePeople @BythePeople18]

Trump still hasn't signed the required ethics agreement because he has no intention of abiding it. So, any transition should stop until he signs it and if he doesn't sign it, he should not be allowed to take office. Start enforcing the fucking rules for this lunatic.

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

Hey Trump voters.

Hate to break it to you - but here’s what actually happened on Tuesday.

Watch. Bernie explained it 20 years ago.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

God,

Keep my anger from becoming meanness.

Keep my sorrow from collapsing into self-pity.

Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking.

Keep my anger turned towards justice, not cruelty.

Remind me that all of this, every bit of it, is for love.

Keep me fiercely kind.

Amen.

A prayer for days like today from @LauraJeanTruman

Holding back tears: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this country great, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech, for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth, for democracy, for decency, for everyone who voted again him, and guess what—it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too, you just don’t realize it yet” @jimmykimmel @JimmyKimmelLive

Maddow: "They are going to do the things they can do easily and they will have to put off the things that turn out to be hard. So what's going to be hard for them? That's where the American people come in." (2/2)

[Maddow Blog @MaddowBlog]

Maddow: "What they want least of all is to realize that half the country went to bed sad tonight but then woke up tomorrow fired up with a new sense of purpose knowing that apparently this is what we're on this Earth to do as American citizens in this generation."
