not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

The Trump administration's spending cuts and restrictions on foreign students are triggering a brain drain — and American scientists are panicking. U.S. researchers' fears are coming true. America's science pipeline is drying up, and countries like China are seizing the opportunity to surge ahead.

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Ah, the golden age.

Tomorrow we will get from CBO: -the full final cost of the House-passed reconciliation bill (10am) -the budget & economic impact of tariffs (11am) -the total number of people kicked off their health insurance under the GOP bill (tbd) I have a press call 10:15-11 but will go through before & after

MEMPHIS VS. MUSK UPDATE: @ShelbyTNHealth Director is bailing for Baltimore. Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social says there’s still time for her to do the right thing and deny Musk’s XAI permits to keep poisoning the air: [email protected] Full: www.actionnews5.com/2025/05/30/s...

Going out the way he came in (high off his ass)

If Barrack Obama had given a crackhead with multiple baby mamas access to the IRS secure records he would have been impeached and removed by midnight.

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

This is who put USAID “in a wood chipper,” slashed jobs across the govt to leave our health services, our national parks, our education system, Social Security & Medicaid in shambles. Oh, and he and his minions have all your private data. Well done, Speaker Johnson. Folks it’s all about 2026.

I literally voted Uncommitted in the primary and do not give a fuck about this concern-mongering this is so far down the list of priorities

While normally a fan of fiction, even outlandish fiction like this, I find this particular fiction author, while certainly prolific, rather dull as he lacks both imagination and craft, leading him to publish relentless repetition.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Whoever made this deserves a medal.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

Elon Musk is leaving his government position after weeks of declining influence and increasing friction with both President Trump and shareholders of his own private companies. He created disruption and fear before giving up on revamping government. But his companies will now face less oversight.

RFK & Dr. Oz want to relocate ostriches w/bird flu to Florida. They say it's an opportunity to study infected birds in a natural environment. Biosecurity, anyone? I remember when that was their stated reason for closing the top BSL4 lab studying dangerous pathogens. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/w...

We just told a group of Nebraska kids that who they are makes them unworthy of playing sports with their friends. This isn’t about fairness—it’s about fear. I’ll never stop fighting for trans youth in this state. You belong. You always have. 🏳️‍⚧️ #NELeg youtu.be/YuXHy5W4sfY?...

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.

It’s now hour 15 of the Rules Committee hearing and we’ve had enough of Republicans’ “magic math.” So, let me put this plainly — the Republican budget will increase the national deficit by trillions of dollars. Period.

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables. California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world. Let that sink in. #energysky #greensky

This odd, dangerous provision in House-passed budget bill is being overlooked. It'd apparently let admin. defendants avoid contempt enforcement stemming from any disobeying by them of preliminary injunctions & temp. restraining orders in instances where plaintiffs didn't provide security bond [1/2]

"Is that it?" -- Trump did that thing again today where he signs a bunch of executive orders but doesn't seem to know what he's signing and needs to have it explained to him

NOBODY WANTS APPLE BUILDING IPHONES HERE YOU IGNORANT FAT TODDLER. Good God you exhausting sloppy goon

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

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone
