This is an enormous theft—not just privatizing a government function with a worse and more expensive for-profit substitute, but also a massive government financial data heist—and on the other side of it everyone needs to end up broke and imprisoned to deter them and others from doing it again.

The White House cites an NPR feature that states "banana slugs are hermaphrodites" as a reason to cease public funding of the network. But banana slugs literally are hermaphrodites! Like that is just a scientific fact! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_...

Folks, reminder — herbs start coming in fast and waiting to harvest them till later in the summer is NOT ideal! My sage is exploding already (this is a 5-gallon bag) so next weekend I’ll harvest all the large leaves and dry them for my spice jars. It will keep growing. 🌱🍽️🍜

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

It's almost impossible to imagine, after the first Trump administration, but do we have the stupidest, lying Press Secretary in history?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.

Heaven forbid that this simple-minded buffoon would allow his crashing the United State's economy, or the return of the remains of four people killed in our military, to interfere with yet one more stupid golf game for this superficial scam-artist to cheat at.

Half of the United States has been slowly and carefully inculcated by Fox News to believe that the other half of the country is their enemy and out to ruin their lives. Once this was established, it didn't take long for those viewers to value hurting these other Americans over helping themselves.

1/ Among other horribles, a proposal coming out of the DAG's office to reorganize DOJ includes ending the Community Relations Service, which may not seem like a big deal unless you've worked with them a lot like I have. They were created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. www.justice.gov/crs/about

What are the odds? Pete Hegseth’s little brother Phil just so happened to land a cushy gig at the Pentagon! This job has allowed him to hang out with UFC fighters, take a trip to Guantanamo, and get a seat on the Pentagon’s 747 aircraft. #NepoBro apnews.com/article/hegs...

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

The country’s most powerful institutions are bowing to Trump. The president has used a strongman playbook to bring universities, news organizations and law firms to heel. That didn’t work on The Atlantic.
