House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Kristi Noem Appears With Bandage Over Ear Struck By Words

Kristi Noem: Sen. Padilla Had Even Deadlier Opinion That Failed To Go Off

Everyone… It doesn’t just stop at ACIP. The strategy is not just approvals but will eventually filter down to how your provider will be able to operate Every single one of RFK and companies goals is to completely incapacitate the current medical institution and keep everyone in the dark

Cuomo literally made up a story about a thing that never happened last night, to prove that he can stand up to Trump, and as far as I can tell nobody blinked an eye or even noticed

Trump is punishing the people who voted for him

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

yep! unpaywalled:

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

I've seen impeachment talk as pointless, but if Dems take the house back in 26, what's happened this week demands articles instantly be filed against Trump and almost everyone in his cabinet. Nobody will be removed, but that's not the point.

Hey @natastron.nature.com, this ad is absolutely not ok. It makes me super uncomfortable to see jokey sexist-feeling T-shirts on your site. A lot of researchers pay you a lot of money and we should at least get subjected to a better curated set of ads.

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

here's some new last minute art for you.

Kristi Noem Attempts To Relieve Tension From Negative Press By Squeezing Stress Dog

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

i think this is exactly right

Same here.

"promptly escorted out" politely and momentarily detained briefly remained in the company of law enforcement for a stimulating exchange of ideas

This is what a federal government deliberately provoking civil war looks like.

just had the totally normal thought "I wonder if the United States will exist in its present form in three months"

MSNBC reporting Senator Padilla thrown to the ground and arrested at a Noem presser.

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

So another one of these came today and I took a closer look. Some of its claims seem pretty wild. But they include citations in tiny print at the bottom, after an invitation to "check the facts." So I did. You may need to sit down for this: Andrew Cuomo is not being entirely honest!

When Los Angeles actually *was* burning down six months ago, these people didn't give a damn about us. Now they're spreading fake AI videos showing LA burning

madness. complete and total derangement

lol this is freakin perfect Share among your gym bros

journalists if you find yourself typing the phrase "donald trump's reputation as a master dealmaker" I beg you to stop and read literally any book about donald trump

This is your reminder that Trump has yet to finalize a single trade deal. Zero. Zip. Not even with the penguins. We are 63 days into his 90 day pause.

I’ve been busy educating my colleagues about Lysenkoism

Real apocalyptic here in LA. 76 degrees with a breeze. Sunset at 8. Tacos on every corner.

More and more we’re seeing the collision between “Follow the rules” and “there is in fact no way to follow the rules.”

You and your children will breathe more air pollution because of this action. People will have more asthma attacks. People will have more heart attacks. All while climate impacts accelerate.

SEND THE MARINES

Reminder that the Fermi Paradox turns 75 this summer.

"pro-vaccine groups" NYT editors are the fucking enemy

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: The overwhelming majority of protesters in Los Angeles have been peaceful. But you would not know that from watching Fox News.

We defeated the Nazis in WW2 and the Russians in the Cold War…all so we could let neo-Nazis and pro-Putin conservatives rise to power in MAGA movement here in America? THAT is the real disrespect toward every soldier and taxpayer who sacrificed life, limb, resources to win those existential wars.
