Latino people getting disappeared in cars by masked men, Native Americans are having their citizenship revoked, Black people are being RE-SEGREGATED but I need to take the time to worry about the absolutely nonexistent bullshit Irish Americans are talking about?

Here's a much better liar (in the mold that Trump likes on TV), Russ Vought. The problem is Dana Bash poorly sets up the Q. It's not about directly cutting people from Medicaid; this bill makes re-certifying so difficult that qualified people will drop off the rolls. 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

America, where an oped in defense of Palestinian rights can get you sent to a Gulag, but one normalizing Nazism appears in a major paper. And Matt, you can stop trying to prove to us that you are a shameless idiot You closed that deal long ago.

Feel like maybe @mattbaidc.bsky.social is on the same drugs as Elon, because if he wrote this absolute horseshit while sober, boy, I dunno. Whatever happened to the @washingtonpost.com focusing on personal liberties and free markets, anyway? #teslatakedown

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

Israel has become a fully criminal state. And don't tell me how many Israelis support this. Genocide is wrong, period, irrespective of fucking polling. JFC people... get a moral backbone.

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up. Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food. Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

Great news out of Ukraine to wake up to this morning. The dictator said Zelensky had no cards to play but he still has a few up his sleeve. nypost.com/2025/06/01/w...

Remarkable scenes at Belaya airfield in Irkutsk, Russia. Ukraine has launched a devastating attack on Russia’s fleet of strategic bombers. The base is over 4000 km from Ukraine, but $500 drones are currently wiping out $100 million planes. Russia’s Pearl Harbor.

This is hardly surprising, the message that scientists should “stay in their lane” is just nonsense. Shifting research focus takes courage and sometimes necessary as times change. One make take a hit in citation metrics, but the broader impact as well as career longevity can be profound. 🧪
