She is a complete and utter idiot‼️🤦🏻‍♀️ There ARE And ALWAYS WILL BE 3 Branches of Government, Whether You Like It,Or NOT‼️ There WILL BE Checks and Balances‼️💯💥😡

“Harvard University’s $120B endowment is ammunition for our enemies, & we can’t let the enemy have that much ammunition or we’re gonna lose” - JD Vance, May 2021, at the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life (Vance launched his US Senate campaign less than 2 months later. 1/

So sad to see @crooked.com platform that hack @jaketapper.bsky.social I’m no fan of Biden, whatsoever, but holy shit this book is a joke and just an attention/profit grab during some serious mayhem.

ABC reports that a federal grand jury has indicted Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and that the Trump administration is planning to return him to the U.S., from El Salvador, to prosecute him: abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

81 years ago today, 100,000 Allied troops stormed Normandy to free Europe from fascist tyranny.

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Ridiculous. Absurd. He's inexperienced and incompetent, putting the nation's security at risk.

Newsmax basically said that Trump is a pedophile. bsky.app/profile/atru...

woah: “Nearly a dozen immigration officers and eight deportees are sick and stranded in a metal shipping container in the searing-hot East African nation of Djibouti, where they face the constant threat of malaria and rocket attacks from nearby Yemen…”

On the Trump-Musk feud, @aoc.bsky.social: “Oh man, the girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

When all is said and done, Azeen Ghorayshi at the New York Times will go down in history as helping to cause incalculable damage to an entire generation of trans kids. I hope advancing her career is worth dead trans kids. She's absolute scum.

"As we celebrate Pride let us pause for a moment to remember. This is an image of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget." #PRIDE #AIDS #HIV

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

One of the more revealing end-stage Biden stories was the WH trying to walk KJP out into a cushy Emily's List job, and KJP deciding -- no, I'll stay here and stand to the side while John Kirby takes questions. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Of members of Congress age 70+, note how many more are Democrats

We have a winner…..

It's a great day to be an American academic securing interviews with members of Merz's CDU. Not embarrassing at all.

Turning the NEH into an AEI research wing while also riddling the NEH website with dumb typos

They're kidnapping kids dawg

Ticket sales and subscription revenue at the Kennedy Center have fallen sharply since Trump made himself chairman. Single-ticket sales were down roughly 50%. Subscriptions revenue down 82% for theater and 57% for dance. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/a...

The American public deserves to know that those serving at the highest levels of government are free from financial conflicts of interest. Needless to say, this administration appears to be awash in such corruption. I'm determined to get answers.

Much of the advice in this piece comes from Jennifer Nuzzo at Brown's School of Public Health Pandemic Center. (Brown is where Ashish Jha & Emily Oster hailed from, if you've forgotten.) Here's what they suggest, with lots of commentary - important 🧵. 1/14 www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

Also this. Some of the most amazing, brilliant, delightful and industrious people I know are autistic. And from past experience, I consider it a plus in hiring if I know. Grow up, people, and stop believing the evil.

The article linked below is a must read. “Poor whites were seen as an easy target; sell us lies about Black people and all the “others” supposedly out to take what real (white) Americans worked hard for with scant pay, even when working for family.”

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Senate Passes Bipartisan Resolution Preventing Themselves From Stopping Trump theonion.com/senate-...

Honestly glad we will have some visuals to illustrate the collapse of American government into North Korean levels of personalism

If you were wondering why Trump’s war on Harvard matters, here is The Times of London detailing the costs: cancelling a planned TB vaccine, ending a clinical trial for severely allergic children, killing a new generation of air purifiers, curtailing research on ALS. www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

Confidential records obtained by WIRED & @propertyofthepeople.org show the ag industry deploying moles to infiltrate activist meetings, while functionally serving as FBI informants, in a shadow campaign to brand the animal rights movement America's biggest bioterrorism threat. My latest @wired.com:

Terrifying in its own way marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevo... People in the US have no idea what a difference it has made in our lives that our debt has been treated so favorably by markets

www.cbsnews.com/news/sextort...

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

DOGE was a smash and grab robbery of our personal data.

No better testimonial than this one on how federal job cuts put lives at risk.

Really solid write-up Key issue: "...it becomes clear that we are heading towards a place where not only are image and video generations likely to be good enough to fool most people, but that those capabilities will be widely available and, thanks to open models, very hard to regulate or control."

I feel safer already.

Nothing going on is that hard to understand as long as someone with some credibility has the desire to explain it and the space to do so and I’m glad this NBC station did this for their viewers
