The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.

"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the US’s sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much." @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you didn’t voice your opposition to this war, we will hold that against you on Election Day.

If we can’t replace you this time with someone who did, we will continue to try. The primaries will not be kind to you. Ever again.

Judge in Oregon limits federal officers' tear gas use at Portland ICE building protests A federal judge in Oregon has restricted federal officers from using tear gas at protests at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland

Federal agents are now restricted from using tear gas and other chemical or projectile munitions against peaceful protestors and freelance journalists near the ICE processing center in Portland.

We shouldn't have to fear being brutalized by the government for exercising our First Amendment rights.

I just left another briefing on Iran.

I just left another briefing on Iran.

Here's the only part of Trump's plan that is clear to me:

He won't spare a cent for the 15 million Americans who will lose their health care, but he'll spend a billion dollars a day bombing Iran.

Glenn Beck was so excited about the Epstein files... until he realized Trump may be involved.

Despite massive bombardment and the assassination of Iran’s leader, the US has failed to overthrow the Iranian government. Instead, the conflict is expanding and becoming more dangerous. The war is devastating civilians and the stock market.

America Still Has a Mission in the World America’s greatest influence has never been domination. It has been demonstration.

After WWII we could have gone home and left the world to burn.

Instead America rebuilt Europe, defended trade routes, and helped inspire the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Because America has always had a mission.

One we're dangerously close to forgetting.

It's starting to feel like all of my days off are devoted to dealing with contact centres for things which can't be resolved via "digital channels". I don't begrudge the agents, who have a hard job. But the time invested shows total contempt for anyone who is a customer.

It is March, so the town is carpeted with Three-cornered Garlic. One of the prettiest weeds around.

UV light reacts with the chlorophyll in 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑚, causing the stems to appear bright red.

This is the doc that was "Miscoded." Bondi said there are no more files to be released, yesterday. We will see about that.

Bush on why he quit golf during the war: “I didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.”

Anyone who needs the importance or relevance of the Epstein files explained to them in 2026 are not worth listening to. Their opinions are irrelevant because they are uninformed at the highest level.

Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."

In a stunning public breach of SCOTUS decorum, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson flatly told Brett Kavanaugh that the conservative majority's relentless use of the shadow docket to okay Trump's illegal policies is a "warped" disgrace actively destroying the court's legitimacy.

It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.

JD Vance: " If you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Trump."

This is some North Korea level propaganda.

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.

Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

The DOJ has exposed 21 victims names in its release of the Epstein Files. They sure worked hard to redact the criminals though. Disgusting.

#BlueSkyVets Recognizes Hillary Rodham Clinton as one of America’s most notable women is a worthy choice because her public career spans an unprecedented breadth of service, influence, & advocacy leaving an indelible mark on the world.

I love her, and you should too!

I think people who say things like this, especially prominent people with power, should be shamed and shunned and reviled — cancelled, if you will.

“Free speech culture” disapproves of that sentiment — says that it’s worse than what Ogles said.

Judge it thus.

If ordering the release of UFO files & starting a war with Iran isn't enough to distract us from the #EpsteinFiles, dude is ready to pull out the big guns.

Executive orders are being drafted as you read this.

Last week, Minnesota’s top federal prosecutor appeared before two federal district court judges and asked them to not hold the Trump administration in contempt for violating court orders. The judges, Biden appointee Jeffrey Bryan and Clinton appointee John Tunheim, had both directed the government…
