What’s the United Nations up to these days

The German Chancellor understands what D-Day meant better than President Trump.

City Council Member Vickie Paladino is a far-right politician who frequently tweets insane things about progressives, but this attack is notable because it suggests MAGA is starting to call for the deportation of Democratic politicians who are naturalized citizens:

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Hey @chrismurphyct.bsky.social!I If you want this to make news, you could hold hearings in the Senate about it at ANY POINT. Produce them for TV, get any willing witness, like the employees of his nursing home. The press is dying to cover spectacle like this. Stop whining on social media and act.

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

Under the GOP budget more than 18 MILLION kids could lose access to free school meals. For some kids, this is the only nutritious food they’ll have in a day. Rather than making life easier for families, they're taking meals from kids to pay for tax cuts that only benefit billionaires.

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Trump told us these people were so dangerous they couldn't afford due process to prove how dangerous they were. They had to go straight to the foreign concentration camp. Turns out *at least* one in five of them *didn't even break US immigration law*

People across the political spectrum lately keep insisting that we deserve an apology from scientists and policy makers for not knowing everything about the novel coronavirus ... before we knew it. Like Speaking To The Manager of the pandemic so you can get some kind of refund for uncertainty

🚨UPDATE: In a late-night court hearing, the Trump admin says that it deported the Burmese man to Burma, but is REFUSING to say where they deported the Vietnamese man, claiming it’s classified! The judge ordered ICE to tell everyone involved they may face criminal contempt.

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Rep. LaMonica McIver being charged by Trump’s DOJ for “assaulting” a cop is particularly scary because it was all on camera with many witnesses and the administration feels comfortable enough to straight up lie with impunity and target a sitting congresswoman

Not sure who needs to know - The Decline of Western Civilization is streaming on prime right now (!)

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Pretty incredible that Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a "$5 billion-plus" partnership w/ a Saudi AI co launched by Mohammed Bin Salman and sent CEO Andy Jassy to meet with him less than 7 years after MBS murdered Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for Bezos' Washington Post. techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/a...

Sean Duffy changed his wife's flight on Monday to avoid Newark Airport and then made a TV appearance on Tuesday insisting it's safe to fly from there.

Trump is blocking Afghan allies who PROTECTED OUR TROOPS from coming here as refugees, so that Stephen Miller and Elon Musk can live out their dreams of bringing more white immigrants to the United States at taxpayer expense - flown here on a private chartered jet by the State Department. Sickening.

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

But your kids can’t have more than two dolls

Possibly the most brazen, bald-faced corruption in American political history abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...

And why was Baraka there in the first place? Turns out the private prison facility is violating the law, but also unwilling to be served with legal process apple.news/AV9JgWB8fQq6...

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Listen to this segment. They *entrapped* Mayor Baraka and someone explicitly told ICE to arrest him, an American citizen standing on public ground, in front of sitting members of Congress who tried to stop it. This was already very bad and is now holy shit bad.

Disappearing an elected official.

if your job requires you to cover your face so people don't throw trash at you and boo everywhere you go maybe your job is a social evil.

send in the national guard

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

Leftists: Defund the FBI Centrists: lmao that will never happen, dream on FBI Director Kash Patel: I forgot to do a budget

Pizza, balla, clap clap clapclapclap

Neat, how do we get one of those
