Russia bombed Kharkiv.. 60 TIMES 2 hours ago. 😖 calling people there now..

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

Not even the utility wanted to keep it open. Now, consumers will pay the price

Don't woo people who give Nazi salutes. Just say no.

This was expected but still incredible. The Senate Banking Committee is zeroing out the funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the big beautiful bill. This will produce a budget savings of $0.00 and should therefore be easily tossed by the parliamentarian. 🧵

Here is the full indictment. I also listened to Pam Bondi's press conference. They allege that he was involved in a lot of very serious crimes and reference multiple "co-conspirator" statements (likely jailhouse informants). Notably, however, he's only *charged* with the TN traffic stop incident.

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

Russia, Russia, Russia. What won't he do to help Russia?

He loves him a criminal

A crew of strawberry harvesters in Salinas area share: We are only earning min. wage vs piece rate as we have to stop picking berries to hoe the field. The rancher let everything get so overgrown, that we can't push the carts we use to carry the strawberries. #WeFeedYou

On the first day of Pride month three kids threw what is believed to be battery acid at a trans woman and caused 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Her friends are fundraising for her medical bills: www.gofundme.com/f/support-di...

This woman approvingly quoted Hitler on the morning of Jan 6 and also serves on the House committee that’s been looking into antisemitism on campus 👍

😂

51,000 dead Americans, all so the 1% can get a another tax cut. “Every data point represents a human life. These cuts would disproportionately harm the most vulnerable communities in America, including older adults, low-income families, and people already at the margins of our health care system.”

When Champlain was found to be good, but not great.

Once again: Don't print lies in the newspaper Don't host liars on the tv shows Don't ask "does the sun rise in the East?" when you can look outside & observe the direction of the sunrise

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Republican idiocy has real consequences

I said on Optimist Economy podcast that you can’t build the future on lies. For example, Lie: Federal bureaucrats do nothing and are a huge source of government spending. In fact: This didn’t even take six months. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Who are the asshats cruel enough to think up these provisions?

And then I said… ”The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts!”

Saving money at any cost (including human lives) is really not a good look

Many people who served shoulder-to-shoulder with the US did not qualify for the special visa program. Khalid Khan, an Afghan refugee living in Pakistan, said he worked for the U.S. military for eight years. “I feel abandoned. So long as Trump is there, we are nowhere.” apnews.com/article/trum...

“big balls” is trending but apparently it has nothing to do with Paris sewers of the 1870s which is unfortunate

An absolute clown show

After one year, more than twice as many people on the GLP-1 weight loss drugs developed neovascular age-related macular degeneration compared to similar people who were not taking the drugs. www.statnews.com/2025/06/05/g...

“Crazy how states plan to criminally investigate every miscarriage but they “don’t have the resources” to test rape kits or enforce restraining orders.” 1000s of rape kits sit on the shelves untested, but prosecutors in W Virginia are now actively pursuing people who have *miscarriages*.

If you ever find yourself needing to remove a headphone jack that's broken off in the port, a very small forceps (like a 4" or 5") is your friend. They're great for other tasks around the house too.

Facts matter. Science matters. Masks work.

I'm not sure what's funnier: Musk v. Trump, or Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers. Rodgers really should have signed with the Vikings, to complete the lunatic former GB QB exit strategy, but I guess a few games embarrassing himself with the Steelers will have to suffice.
