We thought Elon was leaving, but it looks like he’s just stepping out of the spotlight to try and save Tesla. Trump posted, “This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way.”

The Trump folks obviously knew and this is, in fact, important for the public to know, given Musk’s deleterious impact on so many. Kudos to @kirstengrind.bsky.social and Megan Twomey for having the guts to report out yet another condition that is in plain sight. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

"It appears to be able to attach to the receptor sites on our cells more avidly, with greater ability which may mean it's more transmissible which would not be good news," Dr. Swartzberg said. #CovidIsNotOver For the love of yourself, take precautions!

Brilliant mockery. There is no male loneliness epidemic. If there’s an epidemic, it’s women becoming more aware of systemic misogyny & patriarchal cultures & calling it out everywhere we go. IG: @likeafoxstudios

This is going to break him. Let’s chant “TACO” at every protest from now on. And we shall sing “Taco taco man” a remake of the Village People’s song. He will be in a strait jacket in no time.

ICE’s Gestapo 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 tactics… …aimed at TOURISTS 😳 … …have resulted in the following countries issuing: 🚨 TRAVEL ADVISORY WARNINGS 🚨 …to their citizens considering traveling to the USA. 🚫 Canada 🇨🇦 Denmark 🇩🇰 Finland 🇫🇮 Germany 🇩🇪 UK 🇬🇧 Ireland 🇮🇪 Netherlands 🇳🇱 Australia 🇦🇺

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

A reminder that none of this is true about AOC, it’s demonstrably and provably untrue, and it’s being pushed by the kind of C-list (ok, D-list?) celebs who flock to Trump and MAGA:

1/2 Buried in the GOP’s budget bill is a dictator clause—a sneaky provision that would let Trump ignore court orders without consequence. It guts enforcement of contempt rulings unless plaintiffs post a bond, making the judiciary toothless. This would crown Trump king. 🔗 tinyurl.com/Crown-Trump

🛑 Warning lights are flashing—Voting Rights. Healthcare. Free Speech. But the system says, “Everything’s fine.” It’s not fine. It’s failing. 📕 Fuck Around & Find Out is your resistance manual. Not a civics class—a survival guide. Read it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

🚨#BREAKING: Reports indicate that a new COVID-19 strain originating from China linked to a sharp surge in hospitalizations has now reached the United States, including New York City.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

BREAKING: Thailand just clocked 53,000+ new COVID cases in ONE week. The virus is spinning the block harder than governments want to admit—and schools are going back online. Again. This ain’t over. Leaders need to stop pretending it is. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/th...

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

Musk has stepped out of the limelight, but DOGE is still gutting countless government programs and services that millions of Americans rely on. Here are seven ways that DOGE is ruining your life.

Take a few minutes for this one—because you might need FEMA in the near future, and you need to know what’s currently going on. Or not going on. Thank you, @repjasmine.bsky.social for telling it straight, sounding the alarm, and sharing how we can help.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Two of the nation’s most preeminent pediatricians, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Sapna Singh join host Dr. Vin Gupta for an expansive conversation on tackling health misinformation, the real meaning of the MAHA agenda, and the ongoing measles epidemic. Listen to the new episode of Meidas Health!

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

This is beyond terrifying www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Is your Memorial Day barbecue more expensive this year? Maybe because just 4 firms control 85% of the beef market, 66% of the pork market, and 54% of the poultry market. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging. https://youtu.be/NuvKoe9Ilvo?si=KoAExA3HWCDTN8L3

An Ohio man checked out 100 Black, Jewish, and LGBTQ books—then burned them. And bragged. Rep. Shontel Brown exposed it on the House floor. This is erasure in real time. 📚ERASED exists because of this exact hate. They want our history gone. Read it. Share it. Defend it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

House Republicans just approved a bill to take Medicaid away from 13 million people and Meet the Press is (not) on it

BREAKING: Kamala Harris, speaking in Australia, warns of the dangers of repeating the global mistakes of the 1930s, emphasizing the importance of international alliances and trust. The speech ended with a standing ovation.

Texas is a petrie dish for every festering authoritarian experiment, banning bodies, books, immigrants and truth. It’s not governance, it’s a lab test for how much cruelty and control a state can pump into law before people break. #WakeUp

Trump’s profits off the presidency are breathtaking and yet the public yawns. We need to fortify and enforce conflict of interest rules and educate the public about why they matter. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/u...

A young Barack Obama with his grandfather at the beach. 💗 The shape of their faces are so strikingly similar. A look at one of the best presidents of the United States as a happy child.

Why is the press not talking about the physical and mental decline of our orange dictator? Biden is no longer president and last I checked he did an amazing job.
