"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

I can’t compete with this

And this is why having American aviation communications rely on Starlink was always a terrifying idea

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

Perhaps we should stop giving unlimited power to narcissistic megalomaniacs with stimulant and sexual impropriety issues who believe their god-given destiny is to marshal a cult of personality and use it to exert complete ownership over the planet and the labor of everyone on it. Just a thought.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

Amazing. Respect the lede.

It's been overtaken by the Musk-Trump feud, but this session with Merz continues Trump's streak of the most embarrassing/appalling Oval Office meetings with foreign leaders in modern U.S. history.

My article "The Lost Vortex", on the missed opportunities of the Biden years, has been republished on DC Report: www.dcreport.org/2025/06/04/l...

The thing is, you could easily mumble something about working with allies, ironclad commitments, ROK being the linchpin of security and prosperity, etc. and it would be indistinguishable from a prepared statement.

Trump is mentally unwell, on top of cognitive decline *w/a vile, incompetent staff*. He's unhinged. 25thA-level. All we have to do is read transcripts. There's a reason the WH has yanked them & now fails to provide them for Felon47. The media is complicit. 🧾 www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-cogn...

ICYMI: Trump is proposing lots of devastating cuts to HHS in his 2026 budget request. But one of the cruelest is a single line that ends all funding for a program that keeps low-income people from freezing to death in their homes. His justification? DEI. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

PEARSON: “Dr. Taylor & @ShelbyTNHealth still have a chance to do what’s right — deny XAI’s gas turning permit.” As Taylor leaves for Baltimore, Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social says there’s still time to protect MEMPHIS air from Musk’s supercomputer. ([email protected])

Now more than ever

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

Trump posting lunatic conspiracy theories about Biden being dead and everyone just shrugs

Absolutely bonkers — Joni Ernst doubles down on her “we are all gonna die” defense of Medicaid cuts while walking through a cemetery

Last year, Illinois abolished requiring prior authorization for inpatient mental health care — and now, we're extending it to outpatient care. Patients and their doctors should be in control of decisions about their care, not insurance companies.

Donald Trump, more detached from reality than ever, just shared an unhinged QAnon post saying former President Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by clones.

Free markets are for losers.

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

"Life’s like a dream. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense, but you just go along with it and see where it takes you." - Ed Chigliak

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

everything means the opposite for these people. freedom means your freedom to obey. the first amendment means their freedom to tell you what you can read and think.

The cruelty is the point.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

UPDATE: The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

Why look at that! A summer book guide written by an actual human being listing real books written by other actual human beings! And I'm one of them! More here: www.ocregister.com/2025/05/20/1...

Trump stooge Alina Habba has taken the outrageous step of charging @RepLaMonica for the incident at the ICE facility in Newark — crossing “a red line” as @RepSwalwell puts it. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep...

A budget is a moral document. Trump and the Republicans are set to make ICE the highest funded federal as enforcement agency ever. $12 BILLION to lock people up while his Core Civic buddies get rich. Twisted.

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

Evangelical terrorist immolates self and harms others in order to attack state-protected freedoms, THERE I FIXED IT FOR YOU

A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S. The office is one of several left without an overnight forecaster as a result of cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Hiding in Plain Sight by Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

It's bizarre how pundits and politicians cover Trump's second term with little mention of the first term, even though it's a direct extension. Just as they covered his first term as if it weren't a continuation of a lifetime in organized crime. They treat everything as disparate when it's one story.

nothing good has ever come from presenting disabled and sick people as a literal threat to the nation

i think this shit is an affront to this country and its traditions
