Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Yes, let’s be as unprepared as possible and follow the kooks off a cliff.

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

Peter Navarro snaps at @andrewfeinberg.com after Feinberg points out that the administration always responds to court orders they don't like by railing against judges

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

Exactly

Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table. Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

Selling a pardon to a tax cheat who steals from nurses and doctors. Not what the Founding Fathers intended. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

Beyond parody.

“If you’re among the vast sea of Americans who remain enthusiastically grateful for vaccines, the time for pushing back against Kennedy isn’t later, when he’ll likely be ratcheting up his program to “reevaluate” longstanding pediatric vaccines. It is now.” www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jrs-wa...

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, was recently paid an undisclosed amount to consult for GEO Group, a major immigrant jail operator that is poised to profit from the administration’s fascist immigration crackdown.

Scoop: Nancy Mace's fmr staff tell me they were assigned to create burner accounts to bolster their boss online. “We were congressional staff, and there were actual things we could be doing to help the constituents," one said. 1/ www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

Brazen, open corruption. Presidency for sale. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

"In the midst of his administration’s many attacks on the rule of law, Trump’s pardon of one Virginia sheriff is barely newsworthy. But it is a fire bell in the night, a reminder of the breadth and depth of the Trump administration’s assault on our free society." www.thebulwark.com/p/another-in...

To honor the memory of all veterans, we on E Street remember this live performance of "The Wall" — filmed in 2014 and dedicated to veterans, friends, inspirations and a bandmate lost too soon: Ray and Walter Cichon as well as The Castiles' drummer, Bart Haynes.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

When they show you who they are, believe them. speakermjohnson 🇺🇸 www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Even after all this, the @nytimes continues to normalize it

American influencer Candace Owens, "I'm not a flat earther, not a round earther.. I have left the cult of science.. Science is a pagan faith" How do you even respond to this

Narrator: he didn’t

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

‼️‼️

Some federal judges are weighing taking control of their own security, worried that President Trump could order U.S. marshals to stand down in retaliation for a decision that didn’t go his way. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

The orange felon’s vendetta against Harvard in just one photo.

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

🤷🏼‍♂️

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

North Carolina Republican Virginia Foxx complained it’s “not the way we ought to be talking about this bill,” but critics vehemently disagreed.

RFK Jr. says we're in an “autism epidemic.” Some families feel seen by his attention; others feel exploited. On “Radio Atlantic,” @hannarosin.bsky.social talks with @ericmgarcia.bsky.social, the author of “We're Not Broken,” about how RFK Jr. has split the autism community.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

When it hit Tapper that he lost his audience, he pivoted hard right to save the sales. He’s now appearing on Megyn Kelley and groveling to the Trumps. It’s so sad what people will do for a little bit of money.

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

RFK Jr., the foolish kook splashing about in raw sewage, is in charge of protecting our health. These are monumentally stupid times we are living in.

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?
