What isn’t funny: the amount of control Elon Musk has over global communications, 🇺🇸 space operations and government data.

In case you haven’t read the report, here are the headings of the report’s conclusions into Andrew Cuomo’s behavior.

Once again, not a single one of the Just Do Popularism/Abundance/They Should Have Cast Aside The Black Female Incumbent VP For My Favorite White Male 🦄 Pundits, or anyone else for that matter, has an answer for how to solve this problem that is corroding 🇺🇸 democracy: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

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

More Thoughts On Russia’s Bomber Losses

Now they’re using tear gas & stun grenades on the crowds that witness their cowardly “raids.” They’re shit-scared. This is gonna lead to bystander deaths. Look at these zilches in their Judge Dredd cosplay. This is the happiest moment of their miserable, forgettable lives.

Can some brave reporter ask if Trump will issue a EO on the threat from the Federalist Society? Maybe one of the Bulwark correspondents?

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

President Trump is a virile manly man who bestrides the world like a colossus but he’s also just a poor little guy who gets his feelings hurt when the teevee says mean things

Yesterday I did annual repotting of mints. Dump it out. Saw into quarters. Shake out excess soil & reuse with a hint of worm castings. Using up a bag of soil I don’t like to fill in but mostly old soil. Mints like a struggle bus. Replace the quarters so root-bound edges face in. Tada! #gardening 🌱

How Love Gets Me Through Solitary Confinement

A Wild Davis experience: Gerhart got an email from Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve. "It said, 'the whole landscape was decimated by the LNU Complex fire, and we need all the help we can get.' “So I emailed and said, ‘I've got 30 students in spring. What can we do?’” www.ucdavis.edu/student-rese...

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

Please enjoy this most wonderful thread.❤️

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens. After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

More than 9,000 American service members are buried at Normandy, where they died to protect democracy. We owe not just gratitude, but eternal vigilance to them and all who have sacrificed their lives for our country. #MemorialDay

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)

Man Feared to Be Cognitively Slipping After Writing Book About Wrong President

trump speaking at the crypto dinner next to a lecturn with the presidential seal while his press secretary claims it was a personal event is just another one of those things i guess

I didn't have "Jon Favreau comes here to push Jake Tapper's book" on my Bingo card, but I should've. That's on me.

Studies have found that emulsifiers can alter the mix of bacteria in the gut, known as the microbiome or microbiota; damage the lining of the gastrointestinal tract; and trigger inflammation, potentially contributing to problems elsewhere in the body. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

the number of 'takes' there'd be today if Krasner had lost, versus the near-absence of 'discourse' around it, is telling.

Never say that Democrats are great at facts when so many people cannot get the basics about what happened with Al Franken right.

We are five months into this legislative term and three Democrats have already died in office. All of them were in their 70s. The Democratic Party’s gerontocracy is a growing problem.

Testing men over age 70 for prostate cancer is not recommended, and in Biden's last physical, he was not tested. That media pretends not to know this is disgusting. That NeverTrumpers with big followings are pushing a lie about Biden is also disgusting (same people who pushed him out of the race)

The first litmus test for the New York Times and Washington Post is successfully reckoning with and apologizing for their past coverage of Democratic presidential campaigns. If they can't convince news consumers that they've learned their lessons, people will continue to turn to other outlets.

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

Sigh. Will be calling Schiff's office tomorrow to give them a piece of my mind.

went to Point Reyes for the first time today. it was incredible. like being on the edge of the world

Why in the world would 7 companies donate over $160,000 to Billy Long's DEFUNCT 2022 Senate campaign? And are we expected to believe it's a coincidence that they made those donations right after Long was nominated to be Trump's IRS Commissioner? Looks like pure corruption.

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

If @msnbc is going to have random physicians who have never treated Biden speculating about him, maybe they can find some to speculate about Trump’s apparent medical issues.

I think basically you have to assume based on this that the trump campaign involved a lot of secretly paying for endorsements bsky.app/profile/pale...

Trump, on the leader of Russia: "Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good” It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding. No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going

@taylorswifteras.bsky.social Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen should do a concert in DC on June 14th. How many people would go see Taylor and The Boss vs mango Mussolini? Make it a free concert at that!

Today Trump's main legislative initiative died *in committee*, his main domestic policy initiative was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, & his economic shenanigans got the whole country's credit downgraded. Let's talk about what's important: Biden Old

The real story on the cherry picked Biden recording: Someone overrode Biden's executive privilege claim, but Trump says it wasn't him.
