A tiny but wild snapshot of the current chaos

Amazed Elon Musk openly wrote: "We found a CIA computer that not only was not connected to the internet but had been deliberately tampered with so it couldn't be connected to the internet we had to print out the stuff and type it into another computer" If he wasn't a billionaire he'd be in jail

Beyond parody.

INBOX: The Chicago Sky will officially retire Candace Parker's jersey on August 25, according to Sky PR. The organization will hold an on-court ceremony that features special guests, and Parker will also address the crowd. It was only a matter of time. Well deserved.

Hard to see how you could read this backstory and think these are people talking public health outcomes seriously. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

whoever did the advance work for this Kash Patel interview is about to find themselves with a one-way ticket to Guantanamo

this truly couldn't have happened to a funnier person

I try not to post so much domestic US doom and gloom but it's worth highlighting how significant this is: open personal bribery of the leader to get approval for a merger between two private companies. This is tinpot dictatorship level corruption.

How are things in Texas you ask?

Well ok then

US Court of International Trade has issued unanimous ruling in case against Trump “liberation day” tariffs ruling also covers case filed by 12 states led by Oregon All tariffs invalidated as beyond scope of executive power; implementation blocked by permanent injunction, per @ilyasomin.bsky.social

Ohio State has over three thousand at the moment, representing around 6% of the student body. Congrats to all the American families who will get to pick up the tab now.

🔥 NEBRASKA: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood’s word salad defense of Republicans slashing health care for the poor while cutting taxes for the rich flooded out by people who see right through his lies. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

NEW: According to former staffers and a deposition, Nancy Mace has allegedly used her tech background to deploy bots across social media—and asked staffers to surreptitiously post on her behalf.

Town hall erupts after GOP congressman admits he didn't know that when he voted for the GOP tax bill, he also voted to restrict the ability of federal courts to hold Trump and his admin in contempt of court. www.huffpost.com/entry/mike-f... via @delaneyrules.bsky.social

Somehow I don’t think they’ll feel this way when President Pritzker controls how much federal grant money goes to Liberty University.

"marrying an american" is a movie trope, that's no protection from ICE www.appenmedia.com/news/alphare...

yes. they literally blame higher education for a social order that doesn’t give unquestioned deference to people like themselves

“halfway through its journey, the spacecraft sprang a propellant leak. That caused it to start spinning out of control. The Starship vehicle used in the test flight was not able to survive the intense heat, breaking up as it fell back into the atmosphere.” Billions of tax dollars go into Space X.

Murphy's 29th Law of Combat gets more relevant by the day: "Make it tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out." Countries that build walls to keep people out also make it difficult or impossible for certain people to leave. East Germany. North Korea. The Soviet Union.

This dude going on Fox News to say Biden was worse than Watergate in the middle of trump shredding the constitution. Nobody can possibly be unclear on what he’s doing here.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

she means your kids, not hers

We’re all dead and living in hell, right?

Bring back tar and feathers

Love living in a state with rolling blackouts whenever it gets warm outside

Pretty clear from the White House: If you’re a Republican, especially a MAGA republican, you can commit any crime you want.

An exclamation point in sentence two of a decision overturning an executive order is a sign of how screwed up the order is.

so this is what an aneurysm feels like

Trump Pardons Criminal Whose Mom Attended Mar-a-Lago Fundraiser

Maybe it's time to revisit the idea of unchecked presidential pardon power

California should threaten to withhold federal taxes. Because companies and taxpayers won't do this without protection, the state should pass legislation making it a crime to pay the federal government. The threat alone would create so much legal and financial chaos that Trump would back down.

Threatening to cut off funding to the largest state in the country because of the results of the long jump and triple jump competitions at a regional high school track meet

it's unfathomably messed up that the president of the United States is using the power of his office to go after a single high school kid.

Tom Morello Joins Bruce Springsteen and Harvard in Trump Standoff: ‘F-ck That Guy’

This is a senior Justice Department official. Who is in charge of pardons. And also in charge of investigating the “politicization” of the Justice Department.

Excellent piece from Prof. (& @strictscrutiny.bsky.social co-host) @kateshaw.bsky.social . The Court’s emergency docket decision on the President’s power to fire the NLRB head is one of its worst. It deserves more attention. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/o...

You learn in school that the genius of the founders was creating a system of government with checks and balances and coequal branches but the MAGA folks don't want anyone but the president to be treated as legitimate.

Can’t believe KuCoin would get involved with such a disreputable partner

Holy shit

It's basically legal for high profile Republicans to commit crimes now. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

He's the head of a criminal syndicate

Thinking of every academic who has had to apply for grants to cover the cost of requesting and licensing images for their books with zero assistance from a publisher

it's pretty damning when it's all laid out like this www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
