Mood forever @AOC

Hi Brian. Wonderful to hear from you as always.

I live on Bainbridge Island, not Idaho, among neighbors who want funding for schools, child care, and health care—not tax breaks for hedge fund millionaires like yourself.

Our tree was struck by lightning last night! We knew it was close but not that close. I’m in shock (and so is the tree I’d guess). ⚡️@BianchiWeather

Burgum claiming solar panels don't work at night isn’t "common sense"—it’s willful ignorance.

Somebody send the Energizer Bunny to the Interior for a briefing on batteries. https://t.co/MMqKFHa2SB

It's really unfortunate for the game of basketball that Jokić has played through 15-20 no-calls and then draws a foul by flopping. Too many games where flopping is clearly incentivized.

[Jake Shapiro @Shapalicious]

Alex Caruso must be playing a different sport out there because what he's doing to Nikola Jokic is not allowed in basketball.

[Katy Winge @katywinge]

So you’re telling me not a single one of the times SGA hit Gordon’s arms prior to Gordon ripping through was a foul?

[Grant Certiorari @GrantCertiorari]

Remember, kids: Democrats must meet a peak and unbreakable sense of morality.

Republicans don’t have to meet any of those standards. There are no consequences.

But if Democrats falter, even for a moment, they must pay the price.

Gov. Polis. You on that bullshit.

@ArmandDoma This is a bad take for a lot of reasons. The most obvious of which is: If you believe a word Manchin says, I have beachfront property in Colorado to see you for a good deal.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

lowering drug prices, improving nutritional standards, and reducing pesticide use are causes that could genuinely improve public health. Colorado’s experience with prescription drug importation and pesticide regulation shows that we need leadership willing to stand up to big corporations, and it’s easy to see why RFK Jr.’s bold talk on these issues resonates.

But there are significant concerns about his track record. Beyond his vaccine stance, RFK Jr. has also promoted scientifically unsupported claims about HIV/AIDS, suggesting that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS—a view that has been widely debunked and has caused harm in communities affected by the disease. He’s also pushed conspiracy theories about 5G and Wi-Fi, alleging health risks that extensive research hasn’t supported. These positions reflect a pattern of promoting claims that can erode public trust in critical areas of health, even when the science is clear.

The risk is that, with a track record like this, he could bring these same tendencies to HHS, diverting focus from evidence-based health initiatives. I fully agree that we need reform in areas like drug pricing, nutrition, and agriculture policy—but we need a leader who’ll pursue these reforms with rigorous science and public health as the top priority, rather than personal beliefs or fringe theories. I am disappointed to see this level of support from you. We’re losing our institutions to people who professionally degrade trust in them and that causes real harm. That’s this guys whole bag. Be very careful here.

Robert Kennedy will have no control over drug pricing, but he will be able to limit women’s access to mifepristone.

I expected Republican men to betray women, but this is shocking.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

what happened here, @jaredpolis?

[Rainee Taylor 🌲 @rainee]

What the hell @jaredpolis?

[Jared Polis @jaredpolis]

Not sure how bringing back Measles and bringing back Polio makes anyone more healthy…

[Rainee Taylor 🌲 @rainee]

When I say this election was heavily influenced by misogyny, I don’t (just) mean that people voted against a super-qualified woman.

I mean, for one, they voted for someone found to be guilty of rape and credibly accused many times over. If that’s not woman-hating, what is?

[officialhambly she/they @officialhambly]

A few years back in Yosemite there was a problem with bears getting into trash cans and ppl said ‘why not make the cans more complex?’ And a ranger said ‘bc there is significant overlap between the smartest bear and dumbest human’ and this election feels like that quote to me

[Sam Stryker @sbstryker]

I know millennials get a bad rap for being corny and too into BuzzFeed quizzes and identifying way too hard with Hogwarts Houses but we’ve been dealt a horrible hand and turned out to be the best generation

[The Hoarse Whisperer @TheRealHoarse]

@BernieSanders You continue to be a bloviating ass after having actively helped elect Trump in 2016. Go yell at clouds.

[Rainee Taylor 🌲 @rainee]

I’ve worked in politics and advocacy for a decade—a full third of my life—and I am not sure it’s sustainable to keep pouring work and love into a country that very clearly does not love me back.

But on the flip side, I can’t let this orange mfer win either.

@mattxiv lol “leaves office”
