still waiting for one (1) reporter with access to ask Musk or Trump what they think about Amy Gleason’s job performance

Wasn’t it just precious how he laughed at Justin’s jokes yesterday while being responsible for the autonomous weapons killing Palestinians? Isn’t it just darling how Canadian hands are dripping in blood 🩸 now? #cdnpoli breachmedia.ca/stephen-harp...

Rep. Andy Ogles (Pinocchiogles) just repeated a claim he made at his anti-immigrant presser inside a locked Capitol on Memorial Day— that in El Salvador he met a deported MS-13 gang member who killed 50 in 🇺🇸 Maybe someone should verify? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Andy tells tall tales. (H/T @atrupar.com )

One of the main technical hurdles Golden Dome faced was... DOD's Office of Test & Evaluation, which independently evaluated weapon performance and a longtime scourge of missile defense. Problem now solved!!!

The 'bee' in 'spelling bee' is possibly an alteration of a word that meant “voluntary help given by neighbors toward the accomplishment of a particular task." Congratulations on 100 years, @scrippsbee.bsky.social !

Here’s @thedailybeast noting @RepMarkGreen just told us to listen to Putin and the Kremlin🤔 : t.co/h7k9XwHMCO Video: x.com/thetnholler/...

America is waking up! Rep. Ashley Hinson got heckled at her own town hall in Decorah after praising Donald Trump and the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed the House. Iowa, y’all!

People have been radicalized against COVERING THEIR GODDAMN MOUTHS WHEN THEY COUGH, apparently

“The U.S. will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields” - Marco Rubio, 5/28/25 Pay attention to his use of the words “including” & “or.” This is NOT limited to Chinese students with CCP connections. 1/

Retiring US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger tells @CBSMornings - the pardons of 1500+ Capitol rioters were a "slap in the face" to police and his department =====>

The eject button ⏏️ was hit on Sahil Lavingia for saying to Fast Company that he found "less inefficiencies than he expected in the government during his DOGE assignment as senior advisor to the chief of staff at the Department of Veterans Affairs." 🧾 NextGov: www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...

TFW they're running a story like this about you on one of your fan sites ... www.teslarati.com/tesla-tsla-a...

If you do not understand how Israel’s attack on Indigenous people and Canadian Premiers attack on Indigenous people are related, you’re not paying enough attention.

A good reminder that Trump places folks inside government agencies to dismantle them from the inside out…

Donald Trump isn’t going after criminals. He’s targeting people who are trying their best to go through the legal process – and we shouldn’t be punishing that.

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

Might I suggest that the fact that folks are continually surprised when their friends or family get detained by ICE despite this pretty clearly being administration policy is indicative of both a failure to curate information diets, but also a media failure?

when people talk about AI as a threat to jobs? yeah, we artists know it’s not a threat to our ART. the problem is that it’s not up to us. it was never about how “good” it looks. the threat is the people in power who will do anything to prove that it’s more valuable than any human they employ

truly just a shameful era. how fucking pathetic www.reuters.com/world/us/rub...

The people of Missouri made it very clear: They wanted abortion rights (at least until fetal viability). Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen.

We're still 2.5 weeks out from #NoKings and we are at *1200* events scheduled nationwide (and also in Canada and Europe). Trump wants a nice military parade for his birthday. We're going to make sure all he sees are photos of a much larger turnout of Americans telling him to fuck off.

Destroyed by lies and DOGE…

Germany agrees on €5 billion in fresh military aid to Ukraine. Thank you Germany 🇩🇪 🇺🇦

“We are at a critical juncture,” writes physician Lynn R. Webster in an op-ed. “Either we double down on evidence-based interventions — or we retreat into fear, stigma and false economies. Naloxone alone won’t save us. But cutting it will kill us.”

You thought Stephen Miller and Matt Gaetz were creepy motherfuckers, but my friends, can your hearts stand the mind-bending horror of Emil Bove?

Rep. Andy Ogles claims that he met a man at CECOT prison in El Salvador who killed 50 people (!) in the United States between Virginia and New Hampshire. Seems like, uh, big news, if true?

Federal judges sided with Oregon and 11 other states in their suit against President Trump over his use of the a 1977 emergency powers law to impose tariffs on nearly all imported goods to the country. The judges' order strikes down the tariffs. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/feder...

Jesus christ these people have the worst takes imaginable

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

Richest guy in the world cut funding for cancer research but at least he had fun

Pardoning fraudsters and corrupt officials while claiming justice is weaponized against conservatives. A sheriff who sold badges. A nursing home exec who stole from employees. This isn't clemency. It's a mockery of justice. #3E

📌“Bruce is going after Trump because Bruce, his whole life, he’s been about truth, justice, democracy, equality. Trump is mad at him because Bruce draws a bigger audience. Fuck that guy.” -Tom Morello 📌Politicians aren't the answer, my friends, but our truth-tellers are. 📌YOU are. <my latest>

the US economy is currently in the Wile E Coyote-running off the cliff stage. Already initiated hundreds of actions to juice inflation and crater demand for the next few years but haven't felt the consequences yet.
