If it were a choice between signing my name to this pledge or losing my credentials, I’d hand over my badge and still break news you wanted kept secret. This is going to backfire so hard.
Do. Not. Sign.
Thank you!
Thanks and congratulations!

Look for adjectives in your action lines, and see if a superior noun could be substituted for adjective+noun.
NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard
It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.
Here’s a recap of what’s happening:
this is theft on an unimaginable scale
Feeling pretty hopeless as our government is being torn apart with the illegal actions by Trump? Take one measure, contact your Member of Congress and ask them to set aside all work other than the impeachment of DJT. We are in a Constitutional Crisis, let's act like it. Have a great Sunday!
Reporters. Are you just reporting what Trump or his spokespeople say, or are you reporting what is actually happening? If the former, you're just repeating government propaganda.
If Elon Musk and his unsanctioned team of techno thieves and pirates are interfering with any payments designated by Congress, that’s a flat-out crime
And Democratic Attorneys General in every state need to prosecute them
No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.
One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.
Democratic lawmakers need to understand something:
Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain."
And just stand there.
This is how many of you are coming across.
if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.
Others have said this, but it's worth repeating. Study after study show that the biggest benefactor DEI policies in the USA are... WHITE women.
Do with that information what you will.

Absolutely fantastic news as sickle cell gene therapy is to be rolled out for sickle cell academia with a one off treatment curing 97% of patients 🧪
It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Welp. Turns out electing an unstable maniac is a bad idea after all.
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
Trump is literally purging the federal government of Black people and women.
So the people who told us he wasn’t a racist or misogynist were full of shit.
"The tragic irony is that Trump will inherit a thriving economy, which he’ll claim he restored to its pre-2020 greatness through sheer force of will, and neither the media nor even his fellow Dems are likely to spend much time defending Biden’s record."
I worked countless hours and raised millions of dollars to elect half this list.
They just voted to get rid of my right to due process.
It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here
THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.
You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.
Which is more powerful?
They’re saying the quiet part out loud. Storytelling = fiction. They’re going to lie to their readers.
176 inpatients in hospital 111 of which acquired their covid in hospital
Number of the day
63.
That's the percentage of COVID infections in Wales last week that were acquired in hospital.
Atrocious that nothing is being done.
And that we don't know the number in almost any jurisdiction anywhere in the developed world.
The story of my becoming a screenwriter is a jumble. Not clear and decisive like some other people's journeys. But one of the earliest times I was beckoned into this world was when I saw the wild, weird wonderfulness of Blue Velvet for the first time and I thought "oh, there's a place for me here."
