Multitasking as ever… “Zelenskyy Offers to Broker Peace Between Musk and Trump”

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social nails it

Thanks to Heather Cox Richardson for highlighting this article. The reference to Lysenko is spot on when one thinks of Robert Kennedy Jr.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Christ… red lines are so expensive. (Private Eye)

Our politics has become deeply unserious. Flags and gimmicks and stupid video clips and social media clickbait and lies. With very little serious challenge to counter the nonsense and the dishonesty. The consequences for our country and our democracy are dire. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

At least Farage hasn't won over The Times. (From a leader titled 'Becoming a pale imitation of Farage is not the answer for Keir Starmer') www.thetimes.com/article/9482...

The New York Times can no longer be considered the "newspaper of record". It's now another footnote for a future history of the Trump era's co-optation of a free press.

Because of course

Welcome!

I can't even. How about removing the cap not because of how it plays politically but because it will bring tens of thousands of children out of poverty? Fucking hell. Winning power should be about helping people not running scared of losing power.

This is a great article

Excellent article that may help explain what most of us are feeling right now. www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

It’s hardly surprising that the same people who were fine with older Americans dying from Covid have no issues with cutting Medicare.

You look at the Tories, Reform and the rightwing press after the Brexit reset and you see just how mad they are. Genuinely frothingly insane. Desperate to insist that their Brexit moronathon is a win. Spitting with rage at their own failure. This sums them up… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

RIP. I loved the Norm(!!)character.

Insanity

Could be a great place to house a convicted felon who keeps evading punishment.

One of the greats. RIP.

Good for the WSJ to show readers Ábrego García's actual tattoos, as contrasted to the photoshopped image Trump tried to defend in his recent ABC News interview. (And next time you interview him, bring the evidence to the Oval Office.) www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

😱

An earlier take on the Trump ABC interview.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...
