Trump’s grandfather also tried to go BACK to Germany, because his new wife, who didn’t speak English, hated it here. But he dodged the draft and was persona non grata. So he came back to the U.S., and we took him. And here we are

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

Trump got no concessions from his boss, but he did make it clear to Vladimir Putin that the United States is OK with Russia brutally retaliating against Ukraine's attacks on its planes, probably by attacking Ukrainian civilians. What a worthless clown.

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

The death of the Joann craft-supply chain represents “the loss of yet another outlet for building customs and community.” Andrea Valdez, a lifelong crafter, shares a personal lament.

AYFKM?!

Trump released his proposed budget-and it’s as draconian as you’d expect He’s cutting SNAP by almost 2/3 Reducing cancer research by nearly 40% Taking $33 billion from the HUD And $12 billion from the Department of Education Once again-the cruelty is the point www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Trump without Trump - An edit of Trump's press conference with Elon Musk. You won't have to listen to his voice or see his face. It's a highlight reel of sorts.

for those who just watched the segment, here's the piece

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed an immigrant threatened the life of President Trump. Then the story quickly fell apart.

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

30 years ago today, Margaret Chase Smith died. A Republican senator from Maine, she broke with her party at a key moment: www.thebulwark.com/p/rememberin...

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings. “We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

TACO! Trump Always Chickens Out

Emil Bove is like someone said, “Sure, Stephen Miller looks like the undead, but I think we can get undeader.”

Jessica: There is an important distinction to be drawn between being accessible and being good or delivering truth… he does these interviews and says I don't know or I'm not sure… He may be in front of you but that doesn’t mean he’s not spewing bs

If this were Joe Biden, Jake Tapper would be doing an entire week on ‘Who is actually running the country when many people are speculating that the president is senile.’ Only this is Trump so it’s yet another day of ‘Oh, that’s just ol’ racist strongman grandpa, you know how he gets.’

Between this and his West Point address, it’s pretty clear Donald Trump isn’t concerned with the troops and is just in it for himself. No mention of the fallen soldiers from our Commander in Chief.

This is an actual news story in Russian state media and summarizes exactly what the Russians think of Trump and America

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― The Great Gatsby (1925)

One of the last papers I reviewed before I retired had a beautifully written, wholly incorrect Introduction. I recommended rejection without reading further and commented that it was likely produced by AI. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

here's the full clip of RFK Jr losing his shit at Patty Murray today during a hearing so badly that Republican Sen. Capito had to step in and tell him to "hold back"

Here's what I would tell my middle school students whenever they were having a lot of emotions: your feelings are valid, but it doesn't give you the right to take it out on other people. Take a short timeout until you can calm down, then come back and join the class.

Musk and his gang rather disrupt than save lives.

The decal of Biden tied up in the back of a truck would be a better President than Donald Trump.

The Qatar bribe is *initially* going to the Department of Defense so Donald can avoid paying for jet fuel, pilots, and maintenance. It is *then* going to his "Library" so Donald can can continue avoiding personally paying such costs--and avoid paying taxes. The entire scheme is a scam.

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.
