Night Of Uninterrupted Deep Sleep Really Throws Man’s Day Off theonion.com/night-o...

When you tariff steel — but forget that’s what pipes and drills are made of. 🤡 @financialtimes.com #DrillBabyDrill www.ft.com/content/2497...

Trying to remember the last chief of US intelligence agencies who publicly advanced a conspiracy theory that the nation's "elite" are plotting to start a nuclear war because they have shelters.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

"They had Mexican flags!!! People should only be allowed to to have the Stars and Stripes, not flags of a countries we were once at war with!!! They should be arrested for this!!!"

So we'll be getting wall-to-wall coverage of this for weeks on Fox News, right?

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

If history is any guide, fake emergencies are intended to lead to real crackdowns.

There are ZERO riots. I am in downtown Los Angeles. There are live feeds of everything that was here and what went down in Paramount. Dudes on mini bikes making noise and people holding Fuck Ice signs etc. But no violence from protesters. None. Cannot say the same about the opposition.

Trump posted this about an hour ago. More lies. There are no violent, insurrectionist mobs. You can view live streams on YouTube of the LA protests, including the one I recently posted below. There are no lawless riots. No migrant invasion. No migrant riots.

1/ As a white person who has lived in CA for 20+ years can I explain a few basic facts to white people living elsewhere? A Chicano/Mexican accent doesn’t mean you’re undocumented or even an immigrant at all. Mexican flags at protests/events/businesses…it’s like the Irish flag or harp.

Just a reminder that Kash raised money for January 6 rioters, including co-producing a benefit single in which incarcerated rioters sing the national anthem while Trump recites the pledge of allegiance.

Trump is saving Los Angeles from big scary **checks notes** dancing flash mobs

This needs to be every city. It needs to be tens and hundreds of thousands of people in each place. It needs to be so overwhelming that people join it like it’s a fucking Wegovy commercial. It needs to be utterly humiliating to Donald Trump. Next Saturday good for everybody ?

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Governor Newsom confirms Trump credited the National Guard before they were even on the ground in LA

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Multiple nonprofits serving exploited children declined to speak on the record to ProPublica, fearing that doing so might undermine what chance they still had of getting potential grants. “Look at what happened to the law firms,” one official said.

Keep asking the questions. Don't let him get away with "we're not here to talk about all the damage I did in the government"

President Trump has promised to attack drug gangs and called for the death penalty for street dealers. But he has also pardoned more than 20 people serving time for serious drug crimes, some involving violence.

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

This week I spoke with the lone Democratic Commissioner at the FCC, Anna Gomez. Pretty remarkable imo to hear from a regulator trying to sound the alarm on what’s happening at her own agency

Donald Trump is such a lazy, simple-minded child, they are going to try to trick him into doing his job by making intelligence briefings, which he routinely ignores/avoids, look like they are on Fox News. Because the one thing Donald likes to do, almost as much as eating McDonald's, is to watch TV.

If roses were flowers, the name "roses" wouldn't have to exist. You'd just call them flowers.

ASSISTANT: "Mrs. Doris Williams of Biloxi, Mississippi is using drugs." TRUMP: "Kick her off welfare and ARREST her!!!" ASSISTANT: "Mr. Elon Musk of Bel Air, Los Angeles is using drugs." TRUMP: "Make him in charge of the government and invite him onto Air Force One!"

Philadelphia Inquirer is out with a piece on the Life Surge scam, with several Eagles figures set to participate. They found that the founder, Joe Johnson, of Ashland, Ohio, has been sued for fraud and deceptive business practices. www.inquirer.com/eagles/lifes...

More fighting with the ref. Also the director of CBO was appointed by Republicans, and served in the Bush administration

Trump’s tariffs have caused real harm to families and our economy. Higher prices for shoppers, distress and uncertainty for small businesses and manufacturers, job losses and furloughs. For what? Literally nothing. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

“All gave some and some gave all” is an often-repeated phrase around #MemorialDay, a quote attributed to Korean War veteran and purple heart recipient Howard Osterkamp, who served in the Army from 1951 to 1953. Today, some give nothing. www.kyivpost.com/post/53398?u...
