Yep that's it for housing starts

The NYT going full court press on trying to make a victim and martyr out of stephen miller is a sight to behold

*US GOODS IMPORTS FALL 19.8% M/M, BIGGEST DROP ON RECORD

I’m “aiming” to run a marathon by 2026. Weirdly my odds are better but Reuters isn’t reporting on it.

So, I go to a conference this week and check in on Bluesky to see that we are all being asked to commit crimes and also getting cease and desist letters. Do I have that right?

I mean, this is where we're at

The first screening of Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ in Clarksdale, Mississippi. This is the first time a lot of people in Clarksdale have been abled to watch the film for the first time. Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Evans, and Miles Caton were all in attendance. 📸: @/Carmen_A_Jude (on X)

You don't get more a part of Trump's base than Ohio farmers and they're challenging his position on pesticides. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/05...

all I ask is that Stephen Miller’s wife actually does leave him for the weirdo IVF commune of the most awkward man alive I think we all deserve this, if we can’t have good things we can at least have schadenfreude

Secretary of Transportation, everyone.

I gotta be honest, if I see you now in May 2025 with a MAGA hat on…be prepared for me to say “gross” in your general direction.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

what's everyone wearing to the bluesky living funeral?

Charlie here- I’ve been waiting for my forever home for 400+ days. I’m a sweet girl who is good with kids and other dogs. While I have a little bit of anxiety and would do best in a home where my people will often be there I promise to make every second you spend with me the best time of your life 🥺

Fifty years after he was graduated from Princeton University, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered the baccalaureate address at his alma mater. This is how he ended the speech:

I spent ten years attacking universities as illiberal and overly woke. Now that the Trump administration is using my rhetoric to destroy American science and higher education, I am horrified but not horrified enough to apologize.

An easy, lazy strawberry lemonade that is the most vivid and delicious I've ever made. It tastes the way cotton candy smells at a carnival, and which is about the highest praise I can give anything. smittenkitchen.com/2023/05/easy...

As a G&T only child, I couldn’t be more proud of my plane this morning that loaded everyone early and was first in line to take off when the noise abatement time limit went off. Truly special.

i know everyone’s really upset that disney made nani leave lilo in the live action remake but i’m surprised by how little blowback there’s been to that scene where stitch is talking about white genocide in south africa

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

I’m at John Wayne Airport (still called that), they are playing Rick Astley, no one is masked, and I’m more afraid of getting on a plane than catching COVID. America.

Republicans in Congress have proposed a massive new annual fee on EV owners, allegedly to make up for the gas taxes they don't pay. Consumer Reports did an analysis & finds that a) the fee would be grossly disproportionate, and b) it wouldn't fill the revenue gap.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Well, at least somebody at the @nytimes.com is still doing some real reporting.
