my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

No no no! These university leaders don’t get it. If you negotiate one on one you don’t buy peace; you just expose the whole sector and yourselves to more shakedowns. See law firms. The only response is to unite in collective action and fight the Admin’s illegality. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth. We need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still support him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

Included in the Republican’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is a 365% increase in ‘anticipated’ tariffs. They ‘anticipate’ they’re going to collect 400 billion dollars in revenue in tariffs. As a reminder, we, the U.S. consumer will be paying this. The tariffs are another Republican scam.

Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise — and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers. Our data reporter explains his findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

Journalists who cover the US military say they are extremely concerned by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new restrictions on press access at the Pentagon – "a direct attack on the freedom of the press and America's right to know what its military is doing." Here's my latest story:

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

SCOOP: In Feb, federal agencies "lost" many #FOIA requests but you probably had no idea. It turns out that the FOIAs disappeared due to an "insider threat attack" by 2 employees at a software company who were previously convicted of hacking into the State Dept 🧵 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Wtf is there to settle with #AshliBabbitt’s family? We’re giving them $5 million for what? She breached the Capitol and tried to enter a secured area. Where are all the stand your ground advocates now? This is nothing but an attempted whitewashing of an insurrection.

🧵 Keep your 👀 on Russell Vought. He’s quietly orchestrating a hostile takeover of American democracy. While headlines chase chaos, Vought is dismantling the federal government from within—purging experts, centralizing power in the Oval Office, & plotting to defy… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Palestinians are being massacred in Gaza day after day after day and yet I still here some people telling me how happy they are that Trump has had a falling out with Netanyahu. Who cares?! Netanyahu is still killing kids with Trump’s blessing. That’s all that matters.

JFC SCOTUS. What even is there to debate? Either a president is obliged to abide by the Constitution that he swore a goddamn oath to defend and uphold, or he isn't. In which case our Constitution is meaningless.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.
