Changes need to happen when this abomination running the country is removed.

As we enter Pride month tomorrow it's important to remember that Pride is not sponsored by corporations, it's brought to you by the drag queens who stood up at Stonewall, and everyone who fights every day for equality. There were no corporate sponsors in 1969 and we don't need them now. #Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

104 years ago, a white supremacist mob burned homes, murdered families and destroyed Black prosperity in Tulsa’s Greenwood District.   The Tulsa Race Massacre remains a stain on our nation. We must honor the victims by continuing the fight for equality and justice in our time.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

I think of my good friend Robbie on Memorial Day, as I do of others who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. He was one of the kindest and thoughtful young men I've ever met. I wanted to share some thoughts about my friend — and what we owe each other as Americans.

"The Truth vs. Alex Jones," the documentary about the Sandy Hook trials, just won a Peabody Award. It features unprecedented footage from inside a U.S. courtroom, and it manages to capture both the horror and absurdity of this story. You can watch it on HBO Max. peabodyawards.com/award-profil...

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

They Nailed It!

Redirected funds in Puerto Rico leave solar plans in the dark as hurricane season looms The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has diverted $365 million earmarked for rooftop solar systems in PR as the island braces for a potentially severe hurricane season. www.dailyclimate.org/redirected-f...

For nearly 20 years, a doctor falsely diagnosed patients as having a chronic disease, administered unnecessary, toxic treatments and filed more than $118 million in fraudulent health insurance claims to fund his lavish lifestyle, which included a private jet, luxury cars and high-end properties.

If you need to rig the system in order to remain within the law, chances are that you’re up to no good. The “Big, Beautiful Bill” springs to mind.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

Man @kateshaw.bsky.social is very smart and her writing on the Supreme Court is excellent www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/o...

Even after all this, the @nytimes continues to normalize it

Sorta like how the invention of vaults hurt the bank robbery business.

9/29/2023— General Milley farewell speech: “We don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don't take an oath to a religion, we don't take an oath to a king or queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.” Never forget our country and Constitution come before any man.

RIP Congressman Rangel. You were always there for us whenever we needed anything. Thank you for your service. ❤️ www.cnn.com/2025/05/26/p...

On immigration and foreign influence…

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation. We owe these heroes and their loved ones everything, and we will always remember what they have done to protect our freedom.

And now for something completely different.. "Abandoned; Orphan", 1895 Albert Gebhard, Finnish (1869 - 1937)

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

The first Memorial Day, May 1, 1865.

Red state Dems…

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

The veteran CBS News reporter also accused Trump of working to “rewrite history with grotesque false narratives.”

Never forget

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

The two-time U.S. Open champion opened up about balancing motherhood and her tennis career.

Classy as expected. You know what? He can wallow in his victimhood and misery. How about the rest of us go just enjoy the day and honor our fallen.

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

He’s absolutely insane. And “Happy” Memorial Day?

When they show you who they are, believe them. speakermjohnson 🇺🇸 www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Based Bill Burr giving the most based take

“Mr. Trump loves to remind us what a great business mogul he is. If that’s true, he should understand what happens when expenses exceed revenue, which happened in several of his casinos. (In total, he’s filed six bankruptcies for his businesses.)”/1

To honor the memory of all veterans, we on E Street remember this live performance of "The Wall" — filmed in 2014 and dedicated to veterans, friends, inspirations and a bandmate lost too soon: Ray and Walter Cichon as well as The Castiles' drummer, Bart Haynes.
