NEW: @cnn.com confirms that hundreds of FBI agents have been reassigned away from criminal and counterterrorism investigations to instead work with ICE to round up migrants. The security impacts are clear — and may be why the FBI is alleged to be hiding any paper trail.

This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

This may come as a surprise but we don't usually make vaccine policy via twats on twitter. No details, no timeline. That's what happens when you plan with Xcrement 💩 archive.is/2025.05.29-1...

The creepy AF Muskrat may or may not be leaving. Dump says he's not. Muskrat is crying because people hate him. Again, the Doge-bag kids, are still there terrorizing Fed workers, stealing your data, and destroying agencies. Stay frosty folks. Don't believe the hype.

Oh my! Musk seduced his wife? Not just for job, I bet…. www.thedailybeast.com/musk-takes-s...

Trump just called Leonard Leo - one of the owners of Alito and Thomas - a "scumbag" Leo would never have his SCOTUS avenge him would he? Of course a Leo-funded group sued Trump over the tariffs

See, it's not all bad news

Karl Rove in WSJ warns GOP against cutting Medicaid and tariffpalooza: “To do well in next year’s midterms, Republicans have to confront 2 messaging challenges now. Last week this column addressed the 1st—Medicaid. This week I’m turning my attention to the 2nd—tariffs.” www.wsj.com/opinion/tari...

Oh, look, I wrote this two months ago.

Trump refers to Leonard Leo as a “sleazebag”

Right now, members of the military can't fix their OWN weapons because giant defense contractors won't let them. Imagine you're up against an enemy, your equipment breaks, and there's nothing you can do about it. Terrifying. Senator Sheehy and I are teaming up to stop this.

"The Musk-led cuts to foreign aid will lead to incomprehensibly needless suffering. People will most definitely die as a result of cuts to AIDS relief program PEPFAR," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Musk's 4 months in Washington.

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

Listening to Heather Cox Richardson break down Trump’s latest unhinged meme reveals the truth: he’s spiraling—and signaling. That post wasn’t random. It was a warning. He’s edging back toward the alt-right and preparing to unleash his militia on Americans who won’t bow. Pay attention.

So… walked into The Crypt (one of my locals) yesterday and Priscilla called me over. “Did you know that Pazuzu is doing a signing in the back room?” What…? I looked in the back room and there was Eileen Dietz, who played Pazuzu in The Exorcist. A lovely surprise.

These stats are used, inter alia, for congressional oversight (there may even be reporting requirements?) so yeah…doctoring the books not a great idea

“.. Given the magnitude of the talks, given the complexity, this is going to require both leaders to weigh in.”

OTD in 1917, President John F. Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts. His legacy is one based in selfless service to one’s country, moral courage and an unabashed defense of freedom.
