Oh no not Big Balls!

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Amazing. Respect the lede.

forcing JD Vance into the middle of this against his will is such an incredible bonus

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Only one man can save us now

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

guys...GUYS

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Somewhere out there a flat earther is looking at the news, stirring horse paste into his raw milk, and crying

Trump vs. Musk is Drake vs. Kendrick with two Drakes

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Post of the day.

Zing!

40 years later, and I imagine lots of Americans are feeling exactly the same way today.

Bannon tells The NY Times Trump should cancel Musk’s contracts & deport him Also: investigate his drug use and his efforts to get classified briefings, and suspend his security clearance

Fuck this

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

One small victory. Proves they can do it.

My coworker was just talking about this. Her son’s inhaler is no longer covered under our insurance at work.

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

If you want to know real terror, be the one riding shotgun reading the Thomas Guide and giving your dad directions.

This should be an enormous scandal

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

It might not have gotten through to Hawley, but this great line from @kateshaw.bsky.social really landed with the Hawley aide sitting behind his chart as she said it:

The FBI asking Americans to spy on doctors and hospitals to report on the medical care their neighbors are receiving is very ... what's the word ... Third Reichy.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

More of this, please.

Psst! Avelo repainted its ICE Air jets white so you don't know it's them endangering the lives of shackled detainees being renditioned to other countries. Pass it on!

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

Well, it looks like I have to move to Ireland.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Incredible
