And a free trip to Hawaii 🙄

That’s right. You shouldn’t have.

AOC: “The girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

If you are curious about what’s really going on

Not interesting but to be expected. Tim Wilson has former connections and is likely supported by the #IPA #Murdoch and other RW groups who are currently the centre of attention of ABC #political reporting and also strongly connected to the board of ABC. #auspol

There was no AEI study. An AEI fellow took barebones data from one survey and extrapolated a percentage based on nothing more than that minimal data. There was no study.

Such a flaming anal fissure we have for president

Rep. Crockett IS THAT GIRL!!! She speaks the truth with exacting precision *in laypersons terms*. If the @housedemocrats.bsky.social are smart, they will make @repjasmine.bsky.social the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. She is one of the most effective communicators we have!

😕

In Australia, Retired Admiral Peter Briggs was highly critical of the AUKUS Deal and calls for a more cost-effective Plan B Solution: has more knowledge and nounce in one statement than males will ever hav in his whole life. #auspol #CancelAUKUS theaimn.net/political-fu...

It’s like veep but much much much stupider

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

Tesla has lost 10% in just the last 20 minutes or so. Still dropping, too.

Quite the projection, given todays falling out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Boasberg: "Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action." An unassailable point. The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.

This is why I wake up every day! “We cannot build bananas in America!”

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

I would like to buy Kate a drink 🥃

N.C. mom and dad let their kids, 7 and 10, walk to the grocery, are grieving today because the 7-year-old ran into the street and was killed by a car. Authorities arrest them for manslaughter, set bail at $1.5 million, and forbid them from attending their son’s funeral. [Lenore Skenazy]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed fellow Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as her first choice for New York City mayor.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Goldman on Trump's travel plan: "It's pretty consistent with what his 'immigration policy' is, which is just essentially to keep anybody who's not white out of the country."

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

I've never met a more disappointing group of people, and our fate rests in their hands www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I do wonder how many times people have turned on figures that largely align with their views because of the lies of others and lack of fact checking.

“Climate Council: lThe moment I saw news about Woodside’s NWShelf gas approval, enraged. This project will unleash 10 yrs worth Australia’s annual climate pollution. They didn’t have to approve this project. But caved to pressure from the fossil fuel industry – just like governments before them.”

I’ve never felt so validated in all my life.

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY. None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened. Read the story below.

Now how much do the rest of them cost the British taxpayers?

Doesn’t like to 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 read!

Trump's briefings could get Fox News-style makeover with graphics, because he doesn't like to read

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

BREAKING: When fascists turn on each other, all we have to do is pop the popcorn. Elon and Donald are DIVORCED. And it’s messy.

ICE goons roleplaying Call of Duty while in front of a Mexican restaurant with a sign that says “Make Tacos not Walls”, as if the symbolism could get more on the nose

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

What the hell...Felons performing police duties. We can't get any lower. How disgraceful !

“The unhinged criticisms to changes in superannuation make more sense when you realise that Australia’s entire tax debate is geared to ensure rich, wealthy people and companies get richer.” www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

She has to call Hulk Hogan!

The opening of Judge Boasberg’s opinion:

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/04/a... The US is demanding that Australia massively increase its defence spending to help fight a war with China. Crikey has taken a look at the key numbers around this vexing issue. How much do we spend on defence? Is it spent well? And who benefits?

MURPHY: Did you worry about what your decision would do to these kids where you've ripped away their counselors & social workers literally in the middle of the program? McMAHON: I certainly worry about mental health MURPHY: It's a really cruel thing to do M: I can't evaluate every program

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.
