Maybe if more parents agreed w/us that is okay to feel bad about some things (or when they do wrong) & learn, we'd have more adults who could take responsibility for their own actions. I can think of a lot of people in power right now that would've benefited from that type of lesson.
The House rejected a war powers resolution that would have required the Trump administration to seek congressional approval before continuing military action in Iran.
The 4 Dems that voted against congressional approval:
Cuellar- TX
Golden- ME
Landsman- OH
Vargas- CA

Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologist… pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
Watch Professor Wolfers' post below. Then read this from September.

"He said without being asked."
Maybe a new way of saying "moving goalposts" or "we haven't a flippin' clue what's going on because we're desperately trying to figure out what the orange one's non-existent, gut-driven plans are" without admitting that's what it means?
I think it's just as likely that the fossil fuel companies foresee years of lawsuits and protests if they attempt to take some of our public lands and don't want the hassle.
Enjoy it while it lasts, because it's going to be a very short day, you bottom-feeding, bullying bigot. The pendulum is swinging hard and is going to knock that "liberated" happiness from your black soul.
(Hmm, note to self: fasting for bloodwork leaves hangry aftereffects.)
I find it interesting that it seems the FBI interviews were released right before the horrendous jobs report and during the outcry about an unlawful war, mass casualties of schoolgirls and torpedoing of an unarmed vessel. Even Noem/Mullin was a blip.
Reeks of desperation on all fronts.
Advocated for masks during COVID for public safety.
Advocates for unmasking of federal personnel for public safety.
Seems public safety is the nexus here; not masks.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Setting aside many things here, this doc is also full of arguable claims presented without evidence. Perhaps, for example, the best way for educators to help students "harness AI" is to make sure we teach them first to think/write/analyze/have ideas themselves. Then they can harness away.
Um, if we're supposedly not in a war, then why would surrendering be needed?
If we're in a war they did not start, why would they surrender?
either they’re actually so wildly incompetent they genuinely never thought about defense against Iranian Shaheds or (more likely) Hegseth et al are lying about why they’re screwing this particular operation up so bad.
Neither option is good
We hired the worst people

Except I hope everyone who owns copyrights to those clips sues.
As someone in healthcare: having the most expensive healthcare system in the world carrying your economy (while providing worse outcomes than the rest of the developed world) is not a recipe for any sort of success. Unsustainable.
No-one is happy about the jobs report.
Today's jobs report was much weaker than expected. Payroll jobs fell 92k in Feb, and revisions to Dec data show a loss of 17k jobs. Average job growth over the last 3 months now under 6k.
Household survey population controls indicate a significant drop in the labor force.

Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.
92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?
Under President Joe Biden the American economy never lost jobs.
92,000 jobs were lost just last month under Donald Trump's administration, the fourth time in just the last eight months.
"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available
Abusive class is my vote. <sigh>
Awesome. Because our jobs aren't hard enough. In comes OPM to make it so much worse.
I've been wondering if Mar-a-Lago faces is Ozempic-related, and if so, maybe some studies should occur to ensure the weight loss drugs they keep pushing on us don't negatively affect brain chemistry.
The US and Iranian navy were invited to an Indian naval exercise.
The Iranian ship came- and came unarmed.
The US pulled out last second and sank an unarmed vessel.
This is bad. Really really bad. 😳😳😳
