If you're willing to risk your life for our country and can kill our enemies with lethal precision, it shouldn't matter if you're gay, straight, transgender, white, Black or anything else.

THREAD: An ex-DOGE engineer with no government or medical experience used AI to identify which Veterans Affairs contracts to kill, labeling them as “MUNCHABLE.” @vernalcoleman.bsky.social @ericumansky.bsky.social and I got the code. Here’s what it tells us 1/

So... as beef continues, a look back at a piece that our WIRED readers are reading... Elon Musk appears to have worked in the US without authorization. Could he have his citizenship revoked?

So sad that Trump and Musk broke up right before DC's pride weekend💔🏳️‍🌈

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, folks

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long. Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

NEW: Since reentering office, Trump has made clear his feelings about diversity programs, referring to them as “Radical and Wasteful” in his executive order — an order that has derailed the careers of Black civil servants whose work was unrelated to DEI. By @davidmcswane.bsky.social

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

In five seasons in New York, Tom Thibodeau went 226-174 in the regular season, leading the Knicks to the playoffs four times. The organization fired him on Tuesday.

WHAT THE FUCK

Official statement from Knicks president Leon Rose on the firing of Thibodeau: "Our organization is singularly focused on winning a championship for our fans. This pursuit led us to the difficult decision to inform Tom Thibodeau that we've decided to move in another direction."

A 2023 investigation from @wpln.bsky.social‬ and ProPublica found the Richard L. Bean detention center was using solitary confinement more than other detention centers in the state. Sometimes the children were locked up alone for hours or days at a time. By @paigepfleger.bsky.social‬

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

This seems at odds with a president who extended his "warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and wish[ed] Joe a fast and successful recovery."

Kevin Harlan: "And the New York Knicks have looked elimination in the eye, and they are alive and kicking! And now the series to Game 6 in Indy with the Pacer lead cut 3-2!" 🏀🎙️ #NBA #NBAPlayoffs

The MAHA Report cites studies that don’t exist. W/ @emilykennard.bsky.social: www.notus.org/health-scien...

these knobs are upset that they have to at least pretend to be doing work, which isn't as much fun as being a hateful trolling asshole all day on the internet most of these guys won't last a year

the modern information environment

there still isn't even any good evidence of biden's supposed cognitive decline. it's a bunch of tiktok memes

One trait can turn Karl-Anthony Towns into an unstoppable leader: Focus. Story on a man who locked in and how he can stay that way: www.nytimes.com/athletic/638...

The Knicks should file a request to the league to tip off every game down 20.

Yeah the documentary that included his sexting scandal with a Jets employee while married and his welfare fraud is all because he loves Trump. Another MAGA victim.

This version of Mitchell Robinson is a DPOY candidate.

A heated exchange between Van Hollen and Rubio: "Writing an op ed to the Tufts newspaper is disrupting the foreign policy of the US? That's pathetic, Mr. Secretary."

Breaking News: Former President Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, a spokesman said.

Just read this sentence. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/o...

Again, oh my...

🏆 PLAYOFF BRACKET 🏆 🏀 Knicks advance to the Eastern Conference Finals The #NBAPlayoffs presented by Google continue Sunday at 3:30pm/et on ABC with Game 7 between DEN/OKC!

Jaylen Brown: “Losing to the Knicks feels like death, but I was always taught that there's life after death. We’ll get ready for whatever’s next. Whatever's next in the journey, I'll be ready for.”

FINAL IN NEW YORK 🚨 The Knicks close out Game 6 at home 119-81 and punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals!

The Knicks are winning by 37 points in an elimination game.

You know it's a real shellacking when the losing team empties its bench in the third quarter of an elimination game.
