The White House is weighing options like impoundment to formalize DOGE's spending cuts without going through Congress, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought said Sunday. www.axios.com/2025/06/01/v...

Last night a man claiming to be president also claimed the previous president is a robot.

#ProudBlue Tulsi Gabbard is proposing that TACO’s intel briefing become videos similar to FOX broadcasts because he doesn’t read. This administration is insane and the man-child in the Oval sits on his lazy ass and pontificates his next evil moves, no time for intelligence. #Impeach47

For Handmaid’s Tale fans.

This is ridiculous!

Peter Thiel and his buddy Elon Musk are both major drug addicts. I wouldn’t be surprised if they use the same drug dealer for those very expensive designer drugs that only billionaires can afford.

Wow! South Dakota generated enough renewable energy to meet all of its energy demand and then an additional 21% on top. I assume that excess energy was exported to other states. The vast majority of the renewable energy generation was wind. And Montana met almost 94% with renewables. Amazing.

I don’t know why anybody finds this particular T-shirt objectionable, but here we are: y’all means all.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Yeah, kill all the old people, sick people, poor people, gay people, brown people, educated people, kind people, rational people, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Notice how Zelensky conducted his strike in Russia WITHOUT using Signal chat.

A man threw Molotov cocktails at people in Boulder, Colorado? Including children? People have lost done their damn minds. Absolutely nothing warrants that kind of behavior.

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

The Ukrainians deserve to win. And they will.

Spare us the fake outrage.

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

They Should Arrest His Supplier And Cut Him Off! That’s The Way It Works, Right?!?😊💙

I’m so sorry about the targeted terrorist attack in Boulder against the Jewish community. Hate like this can’t be tolerated. We must stand firmly against it—always, in all forms. ⚠️ Friends: be cautious. Graphic and disturbing videos are circulating on social. Take care of yourselves, and stay safe.

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

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.

I know that is ridiculous to take such statements seriously but the fact that we are all going to die is exactly why everyone should have access to the best possible medical care regardless of income or employment status.

People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.

It's true!

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

As we celebrate Pride Month, may I remind you that a certain AG in CA ordered ALL CA state employees to marry couples when the ink wasn’t even dry on Obergefell. ❤️💛🧡💚🩵💙💜 www.advocate.com/news/kamala-...

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

A Texas cop used 83,000+ license plate readers to hunt down a woman… for having an abortion. Legal in many states. Still hunted. This isn’t about safety—it’s about control. Welcome to reproductive surveillance in 2025. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #ObSky #NurseSky

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.

reading @leahlitman.bsky.social’s great new book and really struck (as i sometimes am) by the fact that antonin scalia was just a run of the mill gutter bigot
