So people lost their jobs seniority and benefits for nothing

Good News! The National Weather Service is hiring again, after DOGE’s “brilliant” decision to lay off essential staff. Apparently, round-the-clock weather alerts don’t send themselves. Who would’ve guessed?

I've reported thousands of circumcisions since lunch.

If I said every hour of every day for the next year that Joni Ernst can go fuck herself, it wouldn’t be often enough.

They want us to be afraid

Did you read the book about Joe’s decline? Big Bill: No because he’s not the president anymore and he did a good job when he was the president.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

I think I like him!

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Rahm Emanuel has always be a jerk

The problem with that solution is Trump and MAGA made it possible not to feel shame anymore

H/T, @karenattiah.bsky.social

“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

If I were Beyoncé, the Boss and Bono I would host the biggest free concert in the history of fucking time on the same day as Trump’s teeny peen birthday parade.

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.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Massachusetts decided to tax the rich, and collected $2.6 billion over the last 10 months. That’s $2.6 billion more to spend on transportation and education.

Ansari: I sit on the Natural Resources Committee, where we witnessed the most anti-environment legislation go through. It includes massive giveaways to the oil and gas industry. I discovered that the chairman had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of oil and gas stocks.

…

The stupidity is so stupid

Rich white men in finance are not our allies

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121

NYT: “.. People making between about $51,000 and $17,000 could lose about $700 on average in after-tax income .. “By contrast, the top 0.1 percent, including those with incomes over $4.3 million, would gain on average more than $389,000 ..” @tonyromm.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

The hypocrisy awakens, even as they sleep!

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

"Avelo, a little known budget airline, is nowthe carrier for ICE deportation flights. But Avelo’s government approved abductions can – and must – be stopped. They took this contract because they prioritize profit over people, and we need to show them that there’s no profit in kidnapping.+

Don't buy the corporate propaganda. Workers ARE fighting back and know their rights.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Heads up USA RNs/LPNs See the information to fast track into the system. Lots of vacancies and those with credentials in OR /PARR /Maternity /ICU are highly sought after. If your looking for a rural or remote experience in Beautiful BC…those are available too 🙋🏻‍♀️🇨🇦

Just hit me that the importing of white folks from South Africa and exporting of brown people is actually, literally an attempt at a great replacement

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

He embarrassed himself—and all of us—and got _nothing_ in return. And we’re _still_ going to experience shortages and price increases this summer. To which CNN has now responded by... ...praising this asshole and his whole political team. I would say “unbelievable,” but it’s all too believable.

It's the right thing to do
