Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

Happy 8th bday, covfefe 🤡

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

This guy misrepresented himself as a lawyer -- he hadn't passed the bar -- to represent Andrew Tate

Yes. I was being very very very conservative. A lot depends on what happens next.

We truly, deeply ❤️❤️❤️the #NotAllHeroesWearCapes campaign by @friendsofusaid.bsky.social! Sharing just a few here! #AltCitizen #DevelopmentHeroes #USAID

Right now outside Trump International Hotel at Columbus Circle. 🌮 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

Big-time #OligarchEra energy. 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...

Newspaper with massive circulation writes headline directed at a single elderly baby:

Elon fired the IGs and gutted the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies including the SEC, NLRB, DoD, NHTSA, FDA, DoA and FAA. DOGE could only verify $5 billion in savings for this year, while potentially costing taxpayers $135 billion. There’s your fraud.

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov and @sarajacobs.house.gov sent a letter requesting the U.S. GAO conduct a comprehensive review of the financial costs and strategic consequences of the Trump administration’s unlawful effort to subsume USAID into the State Department. ⬇️

We have some news to share with you. 🥄 Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

How it's starting...when they feel the pain in MO How it will end? When the pain is unremitting for all of us

“The COIN-operated Presidency” 🤡 @nytimes.com @karaswisher.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

If Ehud Olmert were an American graduate student, this op-ed would be punished with a one-way ticket to CECOT

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

I remember there were a few days when Netanyahu fans pretended to be offended that anyone would even suggest that Israel was bombing civilians indiscriminately. Long past that now.

If Harris had won, we’d be arguing over policy not bracing for constitutional collapse. No golden jets from Qatar. No meme coin galas masquerading as governance. Stoping corporations from charging $9 for ground beef. Imagine that. Sanity. Structure. A functioning republic. What a concept.

WHERE CORRUPTION AND RACISM MEET: Among the crypto assets owned by invitees to last night’s Trump dinner: “wallets” named F*CK THE JEWS, (alt-right hate cartoon ) Pepe the frog, and one wallet named simply the N word. www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?" That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.

Thank god we got rid of DEI and brought back the meritocracy am I right?

You can use the word fascist, folks.

Worthwhile thread on the ever deteriorating state of discourse

Within half an hour; three separate people responded to this post about how Pete Hegseth is a Christian supremacist who is blatantly violating the Constitution of the United States by denying that Hegseth is a Christian. "No True Christian" remains entirely unhelpful.

it should be an equally seismic story that everyone knows trump is such a racist potatohead that no one was surprised

Who’s doing the book on Trump’s cognitive decline?

One of my constituents, Caroline, came into my office. She looked at me in the eyes and said without Medicaid, I will die. This is the fight of our time. - @mcbride.house.gov

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

The Zelens’kyi ambush was antisemitic, and this one was racist. Good presentation here by NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...
