It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.

Warren Buffett will not take the stage at the Berkshire Hathaway 2026 annual meeting, preferring instead to let his successor have the spotlight after he retires, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

A new rule proposed by the Trump administration would weaken the Endangered Species Act by redefining “harm” — removing habitat destruction from the equation. 🗣️ Take action before May 19 — submit a public comment to defend wildlife. Link below to make your voice heard. bit.ly/4dfCb1x

Aaaand there it is.

So many layers of corruption.

Crazy how long this conversation has been going on

Bribery in plain sight.

Justice David Souter —Appointed by GW Bush —voted in favor of affirmative action, gay marriage, separation of church/state and abortion rights. —Did the work, quiet, strong, empathetic…kind —enjoyed hiking and doing his own home repair A great role model for young men. RIP 🇺🇸

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

Good memories from the Senja fjords… Segla mountain captured from our 1 night camp there. #photography #landscape #nature #art #colors

I’m currently being told by people on X who have never watched my stuff that I must be happy a man has been charged for burning a Koran. A good time to revisit this, which I recorded last year.

The acting administrator of FEMA has been fired one day after he broke with fellow members of the administration when he told lawmakers he does not support dismantling the agency.

This is the most Chicago editors note ever

WP: Trump’s team asked Ukraine to accept third-country deported immigrants during a full-scale war. The request came in January. The US diplomat asked Ukraine to accept an unknown number of deportees. Ukraine denied the request.

How a culture treats its prisoners is a sign of its morality, strength, and authority. We are failing.

Alarming! 'Exposure to microplastics makes mice more forgetful and less social, bees have trouble learning, zebrafish show signs of depression. Studies are also revealing how plastic particles manage to get into brains, and what they do when they are there'. 👉 www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

So in a crazy coincidence, my congressional campaign actually reunited my rescue cat, Heater, with her foster mom. And the footage is just too cute not to share. 🧡🤍

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Enten: This is down 21%. They really don't like the tariffs. And we know they really don't like the tariffs because Canadian summer air bookings to places in Canada actually up actually up 6%.

100% of Americans are united in thinking the other 50% of Americans have lost their minds.

I used to have nightmares about getting a pet and forgetting to feed it. I have not had a single one of those dreams since getting Heater because there is not a chance in Hell she will let me forget breakfast.

Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future. And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

No, Mr. President, the United States Constitutional guarantees everyone “DUE process of law” — not CONVENIENT or COST-EFFICIENT process, which to you seems to include NO PROCESS AT ALL! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

NEW: The Trump administration’s slashing of budgets and staff have Great Lakes scientists concerned that they have lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and sicken people. By @annaleighclark.bsky.social

7 Wash Post journalists just reported that many of those rendered from the U.S. to El Salvador were in the U.S. legally, and Venezuela refused the transfer only after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act, adding that property belonging to those he deems enemies is subject to “seizure and forfeiture.”

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello?

Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again. Bravo

Right-wingers cannot stop making campaign ads for me.

I've been saying this for years

Genuinely the stupidest motherfucker in the history of stupid motherfuckers. Aside from the question of how these could be administered and what counts as "produced elsewhere," the inevitable retaliatory tariffs would absolutely kill foreign box office for US studios. www.cnn.com/2025/05/04/m...

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Goddess of wisdom, inspiration, and beauty. A planetary nebula sculpted as a cosmic, ethereal eye, glowing with radiant light, stars, and a mystical aura—a divine, all-seeing presence woven into the universe's mysteries.
