Let's hope so.... www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

I’m still stuck on this. You can’t barge your way into a bureaucracy where you have no experience or subject matter expertise, blow it all up, and then go “nooooo I’m just a smol bean programmer I never expected anyone to USE this output”

But keep telling us how they care about the debt and efficiency. This colossal waste will stand as a historic monument to his malignant narcissism.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Disgusting. Disgusting is the word.

Is it possible to have an investigation conducted into how many pardoned insurrectionists are now on the ICE payroll? Especially with them slated for a $42K bonus in the congressional bill sitting with the senate. A $42K bonus is ~15 years of performance bonuses for a standard DoD civil servant.

I saw an ad in my tiny rural paper. It was for a job with no experience required with a 30k sign on bonus. It was for ICE agents.

Trump trying to distract America with plans for a new $100,000,000 White House BALLROOM While he STRIPS AWAY health care, food assistance, veterans benefits, Meals on Wheels and basic human rights from MILLIONS OF AMERICANS And saddles US with another $2,400,000,000 worth of debt

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

Inspectors in Somerset County, NJ, checked ≈ 115 establishments. Their lowest score goes to Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club. They found expired milk, improperly stored raw meat, and sinks without soap or towels. It got a C grade (32 out of 100) www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

In a new executive order, President Trump has unleashed his White House counsel and attorney general to conduct a wide-ranging investigation of his predecessor and the Biden White House staff. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Terrifying stuff. Sharp decline in insect numbers tied to global heating. They are at the base of ecosystems and their decline will reverberate upwards. The fact that this is probably going to happen in my life time. We really need to stop burning fossil fuels today!

COOL!

"The map shows locations where many of the more than 20,000 officially missing Ukrainian children, considered a conservative estimate by both Hala and Save Ukraine, have been taken since Russia occupied their homes." "Mykola Kuleba, head of Save Ukraine , likened the network to a modern-day gulag."

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

FACT: If you fell for this, you'll fall for anything.

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

What kind of dumbass says “DON’T YOU EVER SAY THAT!” to being called a taco? Everyone knows this is the #1 way to be called a taco for the rest of your days.

He nailed it!

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

I can’t think of a presidency that has done more open and undeniable damage to this country, and the wider world, in such a short space of time, than this one. Shocking, despicable:

Experts reviewing RFKJr's magnum opus MAHA health report conclude that the whole document was faked by someone using Chatbot AI, and was probably never even proof read. They're not just fraudsters, they're very lazy, too. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
