What could go wrong?

Trump hands Dept of Interior to Russia-linked oil exec: "... given sweeping powers to overhaul the department that manages public lands "...hasn’t divested his investments or filed an ethics commitment to break ties with companies that pose a conflict of interest" apnews.com/article/hass...

If you are ok with Mothers being ripped away from their children by masked men with guns who are unidentified and then seeing those Mothers disappeared, then we don't have political differences, you are my enemy.

These are the people that want to eliminate habeas corpus, as they deport and imprison American citizens of all ages.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

🚨NEWS: The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump & MAGA bosses in Congress want you to keep paying for their gold level health plans & pensions While they cut Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans care & Addordable Care They plan to rob from the working class to give even more to the very rich Demand Health Over Wealth (202) 224-3121

True

She will never live this down!😏

This has to stop. Has to.

That hideous press conference today at the White House between the orange felon and Nazi Musk announcing his departure from DOGE was weird, awkward, deranged and all sorts of trashy. That was a whole lot of crazy corrupt evil in less than 20 minutes.

Are people just now realizing Musk is high AF all the time?

I’m Out Late and just walked into the most magical corner plant shop, just big enough to fit exactly one (1) person. the guy manning it literally had to leave so I could duck inside to look. is this narnia? I think it’s narnia

Now more than ever

Should be more conversation about how the project 2025 folks orchestrating the destruction of U.S. science- Russell Vought, for example, are evangelicals who have long seen science as a threat to the dominion of the Church. They are creationists, and now they control the budget.

Morning Bluesky. Here’s a health breakthrough, the first in this area in 20 years.

The other day I told my buddy: with Trump, it feels like this country’s being driven by a drunk driver, no seatbelts, full speed, headed straight off a cliff. I was half right.

If violence breaks out at a protest, sit down in silence. It exposes agitators, protects peaceful protesters, and creates powerful optics the media can’t ignore. In the face of possible provocation, unity and discipline are our strongest defense—and a loud message in stillness 🪑✊🕊️🎥

Thank you, Dan Goldman for stating what the rest of us feel. #USDemocracy

I was curious how Gabbard was approaching this. I don’t actually hate replacing dense text with better viz etc…but this is just shit you do for someone’s who’s cognitive abilities are entirely warped by tv Like, this is beyond stupid. It’s deeply worrying.

Penzey's Spices have an offer on this weekend.

REST IN PEACE, LORETTA SWIT

Good to see the NYT still has some columnists objecting to their own paper’s attempt to help Musk launder his image. But: If a somewhat functioning democratic system is to ever again emerge from this mess, reputational damage won’t do. Musk needs to be held accountable in a court of law.

Today is my last day at Georgetown. After 18 years of teaching history, and 12 years as a full-time professor in Germany and the U.S., it’s the end of my university career. I will now try to make it as an independent writer and commentator - which is exciting and terrifying. Stick with me, please!

One year ago today…

It's like a death cult

Elon Musk's drug abuse impossible to hide

If you need more evidence that this administration is profoundly anti-family, the WH budget proposal absolutely decimates food support for new mothers and young children. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s blunt call hits hard: if the president can’t grasp his basic duties, stepping down isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. When leadership falters, the country pays the price. Sometimes the best move for a confused leader is to quit before causing more damage.

Sometimes I can’t believe that MASH was as good as I remember. Then I see clips and realize it was better.

Meanwhile at Mar-a-Lago…

Accurate

NEW: In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures.
