Tapper isn’t pro-Trump but he’s definitely becoming anti-anti-Trump.

Victor Cha isn’t just “one expert” on Korea, he’s THE expert. He was nominated to be ambassador to ROK in Shit Show 1, the South Koreans were ready to welcome him. Then he rightfully said bombing NK was a bad idea and Trump pulled his nomination.

Sometimes a phrase just cuts through language barriers like a bullet

I’m not saying we should flood this line with UFO reports but I’m not NOT saying that either.

Once again, people look at you like you're crazy when you say that we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, but here we are.

Gotta meet him with some resistance. 😉 Despite RFK Jr.’s claims, the CDC did not remove COVID vaccines from the childhood immunization schedule.

I know I should take this seriously but this ICE tweet genuinely made me laugh.

"My name is Fox William Mulder...."

telling both the federalist society and the american bar association to fuck themselves in the same week does not make me think the trump admin’s luck in the courts will improve

GOP legislatures in Alaska, Nebraska, and Missouri are trying overturn voter-approved referenda requiring paid sick leave. And in 9 other red states, Republican lawmakers are trying to restrict citizen-led ballot measures altogether. The GOP can't stand the will of the people.

its really such a shame there isn't a major paper of record newsroom that's willing to go aggressively on an anti-trump bend because they would be rewarded

lawfare is of course when you try to hold political figures accountable for crimes they commit

Judge Reif, the Trump appointee on the panel that struck down the tariffs, isn’t a Leo / FedSoc pick. He was appointed after being an adviser to super-protectionist USTR Lighthizer during the first term.

But they are consistent on rapists— … oh, wait, never mind

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.

Donald Trump gives his admirers permission to be their worst selves. It’s almost as if the party that rallied around impeaching Clinton for lying about a blowjob didn’t really mean what they said about the importance of Presidents serving as role models for the nation.

Meanwhile the American Battlefield Trust quite literally whistles Dixie. @battlefields.org

After the research/conversations I’ve had this week, I don’t think people understand the degree to which the nation’s historic preservation ecosystem is on the brink of collapse. It’s bad! Hoping to write about it somewhere soon.

NEW: The Trump administration has conceded that it improperly deported another Salvadoran man in violation of a court order — blaming a "confluence of administrative errors." The man's lawyer plans to demand his return. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

There’s this inane idea that will not go away that claims soldiers and militants don’t think about politics or ideology when they’re fighting. Bro if you’re engaging in mass organized violence you’re also thinking about why you’re doing it. Idk how people get away with making such stupid claims.

He looks 100% well

It’s fine, he’s just got all your personal data. 💊💉

My @wired.com colleagues reporting continues to astound me. These SCOOPS were all JUST YESTERDAY: • Migrant children's DNA stored in criminal database • DOGE leader Nicole Hollander is leaving • Former DOGE staffer on how the group was run • Trump visa ban could derail US AI efforts Links below

Honestly? Let them cook. I’m tired of Republican staffers being the only ones allowed to call people cucks.

this is my actual belief. i believe in virtue ethics for consequentialist reasons.

SPACENEWS: NASA budget would cancel dozens of science missions, lay off thousands (But sets aside nearly $2 billion effectively earmarked for SpaceX) spacenews.com/nasa-budget-...

A federal grand jury indicted a former New Hampshire businessman this week on charges that he orchestrated attacks on the homes of journalists who had investigated claims of sexual misconduct against him.

Today we honor one of our greatest podcasters

New: A key Pentagon office was gutted after it disclosed that it would be overseeing the testing of Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense system and the programs associated with the massive, multi-billion dollar project. www.cnn.com/2025/05/30/p...

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

Remember, when Elon claims he’s autistic, he’s really just a psychopath masking as autistic to fool everyone. Also wtf is this thumbnail??? neurolaunch.com/autism-vs-ps...

the purity test is that you be a reliable partisan

I mean they look like they are in line to beat someone up because they’re mad the new Little Mermaid is black

Tell me: if these dudes show up with guns in an unmarked van to grab someone, why don’t the Second Amendment fans think they should be shot?

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Important to note: The bill is not final. It now has to go to the Senate. If the Senate makes ANY changes to the bill, it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. Call, text, email, or fax your senators.

Everyone needs to call all Senate Republicans to ask why they’re trying to kill Americans FLOOD THE PHONES & also email them using the forms on their Congressional websites You can also use @resist.bot to send emails & faxes

If we're ever going to have a chance of rebuilding from this mess, the left-right axis is far less important than the fight-don't fight axis. Moderates who are willing to do whatever it takes to recover from Trumpism are far more valuable to the left than "leftists" who just care about their seats.

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?" That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.
