If Walmart is increasing prices, other retailers are increasing prices too. Tariffs are a tax on consumer goods.

Beyond frustrating and disappointing that CBS got a rare exclusive sitdown interview with Musk and didn’t ask him a single question about his reckless and ignorant cuts to USAID and all the lives that are being lost across the world as a result of it:

😡😡😡😡

This is what’s needed. Intelligent people witnessing the dangerous consequences of foolish gutting of important agencies and both warning the public and urging them to call their representatives. Next we likely need meteorologists leading street protests.

✈️🔥 Consequences of the destruction at the Belaya air base in the Irkutsk region. ❗️The destruction of at least 11 Russian strategic bombers is visible - 7 Tu-95 (and one, probably, damaged), 4 Tu-22 M3 and one An-12 cargo plane, which does not belong to strategic aviation.

Trump’s tariff mess is wreaking havoc on U.S. manufacturing—slowing production and hurting businesses and consumers across the country. Nothing about this is “America First.” It’s just another betrayal from an administration that’s failed working people.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

Amazing that when they get in courtrooms, all the big claims they make outside the courthouse to the media suddenly go away.

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

Harvard University told a judge it has a trove of internal Trump administration documents that show the White House directed the abrupt freezing of more than $2 billion in federal funds headed to the university’s research programs, in violation of federal law.

Law Firms That Surrendered To Trump Are Paying The Price youtu.be/03LRkGnbhnM?...

Good News! The National Weather Service is hiring again, after DOGE’s “brilliant” decision to lay off essential staff. Apparently, round-the-clock weather alerts don’t send themselves. Who would’ve guessed?

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

COOL!

One of the very few times I agree with Mike Pence.

I feel safer already.

NEW: The mother of an Arizona man who died after being unable to find mental health treatment is suing his health insurer, saying it broke the law by publishing false information that misled its customers. By @maxblau.bsky.social

Out of the 354 new measles cases recorded, Alberta reported 135 cases. Between May 11 to 17, Alberta reported more new cases than all of Canada except Ontario. Despite representing 12% of Canada’s population, Alberta accounted for 38% of the new cases. Now, you tell me why!

Near the city of Zhelesnogorsk, Kursk region, in Russia this rail bridge was destroyed when a cargo train was passing over. The Russian rail network is essential for the Russian military and economy.

Morning from Kyiv, where a drone attack has lasted for more than 7 hours. Luckily, I don't see any information about any damage or casualties. I will make a warcoffee. Life is going on.

Yes.

Cuts to HHS agencies such as CDC, FDA, and NIH have impacts beyond terminated employees. The cuts are eroding and will continue to erode state and local health programs. We appreciate news coverage from @apnews.com for shining a light on this.

@FT: "The close relationship between US government bond yields and the dollar has broken down as investors cool on American assets in response to President Donald Trump’s volatile policymaking." The market realizes what a disaster Trump is. www.ft.com/content/9ca0...

Totally.

Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously.   I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

when i tweeted this eight years ago IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE

I condemn the Department of Labor’s decision to shut down Jobs Corps centers, including those in Monroe and Marion. These programs are a lifeline for young people in need—giving them direction and skills and helping them enter the workforce. This is not progress.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

St. Louis Post Dispatch keeping it 💯

To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.

Desperate and pathetic.
