Art Linkletter famously had a class of students recite the Pledge of Allegiance; then parsed out what individual students were actually saying. While the whole was unified, some of the kids turned out to be mumbling their way through it. It was all quite amusing & a very popular show.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

I'm worried in that anecdotal information is starting to come at a quickened pace. There's not a lot of substantiation in some of it. These people are good at sowing false information + fomenting fear. There are bound to be red herrings of all kinds over the next few days.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

The USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg (left) & the USNS Cesar Chavez (right) are also on the list of ships Hedwig had ordered to be renamed. Nary a peep from the anti-anti-Semites over the 2 ships on the list named for Jewish Americans.

The administration argues the men's home countries won't take them — but lawyers say getting sent to a country like South Sudan could lead to more persecution.

I don't want to think about the make-up sex,

A former police chief and convicted killer known as the "Devil in the Ozarks" was captured by law enforcement 1.5 miles from the prison he escaped from following a nearly two-week-long manhunt.

Trump & Musk’s melodramatic breakup continued yesterday. Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett had one of the best responses to this duel of dunces, stating: “it’s like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera. Newsflash: it was both of y’all.” More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

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.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Not exactly the arbiter of who's in & who's out, is he?

Sometimes you do psycho stuff when the supe has to come fix your kitchen sink. Sometimes that psycho stuff is a Santa Monica Blvd to Sunset Blvd to Dodger Stadium to Figueroa to Vermont subway

The settlement in House v. NCAA brings an end to the NCAA's long-standing tradition of amateurism. Starting this fall, schools will be able to pay players directly up to a salary cap of $20.5 million.

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/O1jiyie

Whoa. WTF are they gonna do to Fisherman's Wharf? Turn it into Pier 39.2?

Wait; lube is flammable? scream the bottoms.

Among the vessels being renamed by Hedwig are the USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg (left) & the UANS Cesar Chavez. Strangely, there's been nary a peep from the anti-anti-Semites in respect to the 2 ships named for Jewish Americans.

People are still marginalizing this as if it has nothing to do with them. Well, you are paying for this. Your taxes pay for this -and it's happening "here" ...not "somewhere."

We interrupt your regularly scheduled doomscrolling to take you to Penbont Road in Talgarth, Wales. Looks to be pretty quiet (maybe you can hear the nearby waterfall, Pwll-y-Wrach, which translates to "Witch's Pool") with a good chance there's no cell service.

HEY DONALD If you really wanna get back at Elon, rehire all the federal employees he fired.

What happens in the dream you're dreaming when you die? Do the lights flicker and dim? Do the characters panic? Is there time for them to look around and grasp what is happening?

"Yes, we build No bananas, We build No bananas Today-a-ay"

On top of those fired by Dodgy.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

We interrupt our regularly scheduled doomscrolling to go to Nikhom Song Khro Udon Thani, which would appear to be quiet with quite possibly no cell service.

I know we're all eager for the implosion of this administration. I'm worried though, that when it happens there will be a Chornobyllian hot zone from Niagara Falls to the Rio Grande.

Some longer thoughts on this topic over on my site. Also, if you're a native-born US citizen, now is an excellent time to get a certified copy of your birth certificate, and to get a passport with a passport card: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/06/03/w...

This explains so much. #jk
