I’m cynical enough to think one of the reasons they picked Noem for that job besides her highly appealing sadism is so they could do the conservative cowboy gaslight theater of protecting a woman whenever anyone tries to challenge her

Put this on a billboard.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

apropos of nothing, the continuity in Lioness is high school

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

And it's @drewmagary.bsky.social from the top rope: www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

No notes

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

Local journalism is our last defense

If they're not already filming a Gerard Butler blockbuster about a bunch of dirtbag criminals who dress up like ICE agents to do crimes, Hollywood is a lost cause.

It’s incredible that he does this as Mike Johnson is out there accusing recipients of widespread fraud.

Of all the things about this “I just can’t fathom” the one I just can’t fathom the most is that she chose to record this defense of death panels in what appears to be a fucking cemetery.

What number of dead children would you be okay with?

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

If morons were idiots, then the name “morons” wouldn’t need to exist. You’d just call them idiots.

Seems more ketaminey doesn’t it? What with the dissociative state and all.

We should organize a letter-writing campaign where elementary school students can write Secretary Real World and tell him how they learned to ride the bus or subway all by themselves, and maybe one day he can too

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

There needs to be some mass action - a boycott/ strike against trumps birthday autocrat military parade - of course, if it’s just me no one will notice .

I implore people to think about what Memorial Day means, and then think about…this

We need more journalists like Scott Pelley….and fewer like Jake Tapper

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

So Trump’s a communist white Christianist nationalist now? Do I have that right?
