Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

NEW: Megan Twohey and I went deep on Elon Musk’s intense drug use as he rose to political power alongside Trump last year. He was using so much ketamine that he told people it was affecting his bladder. At SpaceX, he is getting warnings ahead of drug tests www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Peter Navarro snaps at @andrewfeinberg.com after Feinberg points out that the administration always responds to court orders they don't like by railing against judges

Some truthful humor.

Turns out, judges agree.

Believe NOTHING from Trump regime. RFK's JR report on health issues was filled with fabricated sources. Turns out they used AI but didn't care to double check. But why should they? Trump and his regime celebrates lying. www.mediaite.com/media/news/e...

I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders. My favorite week of the year!

Jessica Tarlov: “He does these interviews and says I don't know, or I'm not sure. He was asked ‘do you need to uphold the constitution? I don't know, ask a lawyer’ … He may be in front of you, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not spewing utter BS.”

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

During the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Clayton Dalton travelled through Gaza visiting hospitals, getting an unusually complete picture of the state of Gaza’s medical infrastructure. He witnessed a health-care system in ruins.

“When you can see moral beauty in others, you will find goodness in yourself as well,” writes Arthur C. Brooks. “If you simply want a sure way to get happier, looking for such moral beauty might be just what you need”:

The most antisemitic thing going is the White House's use of the term "antisemitic" to describe anyone who dares question their bullshit. They use it so much, for so many things that have literally nothing to do with Jewish people, that it's lost all meaning.

So let me get this straight: the "party of the working class" is kicking millions of people off health care to fund tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich?

The worst thing about this for Tommy is that he now has to move to Alabama. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump’s latest retaliatory cancellation of all of Harvard’s federal contracts (whatever the harm to national security!) erases any doubt that he is trying to punish Harvard with a Bill of Attainder that the Constitution would forbid as a usurpation of Judicial Power even if Congress went along.

Former Treasury Secretary on Republican budget bill: This bill cuts Medicaid very deeply, more deeply than I've ever seen it cut—and it will mean that millions of people lose their health benefits. There are choices that are built in here that they know will mean a loss of health care coverage.

“He (Putin) has gone absolutely crazy. He is needlessly killing a lot of people and I’m not talking about just soldiers.” ~ Trump. Putin has been killing killing, raping, kidnapping, and torturing innocent Ukrainians for three fucking years and this sack of shit is just now realizing it?

Tom Homan, one of the top officials behind the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, is facing questions after it was revealed he was paid by a private prison company that stands to profit from the government’s detention policies.
