I do not care about the Rays or the Rangers but this is some of the worst defense I have ever seen.

Thinking strongly about how JD Vance was installed as VP by the tech oligarchs…

remember that episode of Succession where the Roy kids used Waystar for media manipulation to make Mencken the President for their personal gain and by the next episode instantly regretted it? truly ahead of it’s time

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

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

The perfect metaphor for this moment doesn’t exi…

Everyone on Twitter right now.

🔥 Drone strikes reported at the airport in Bryansk, Russia. Details are still emerging.

The feud crashed Truth Social

How much you want to bet this is Elon selling all his Trumpcoin.

Midterm elections? Buddy, we’re not even sure the week will hold.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha (breath) hahahahahahaha

Throuples never work out.

WaPo: The Trump administration has rescinded Biden-era guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions when necessary to protect patients whose health is in jeopardy.

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.

Yikes! 🤢 Trump’s Bedminster golf club recently got slapped with 18 health violations and the lowest health grade in the entire county — scoring a 32 out of 100. Critical food safety risks, no soap at sinks, a household microwave in the kitchen, and more. 🔗 www.thedailybeast.com/president-do...

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Never say it can’t get worse…

Insane that relatively common health items like inhalers would cost that much.

Get used to living with your parents, forever…👇 Oh, and btw…they won’t have HEALTHCARE anymore, either. Happy NOW?!

If any marginalized group has to fight for equal rights…then our systems and laws are NOT equal. Read that again. Take all the time you need.

Great opinion piece by @kenjennings.bsky.social this morning! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/o...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

WSJ: BLS “told outside economists this week that a hiring freeze at the agency was forcing the survey to cut back on the number of businesses where it checks prices.” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

Over half of Gen Xers, those aged 45 to 60, say they have no more than three times their current annual income saved for retirement, according to a study commissioned by Northwestern Mutual.

Private sector job creation slowed to a near-standstill in May, hitting its lowest level in more than two years as signs emerged of a weakening labor market, payrolls processing firm ADP reported Wednesday.

@nickofferman.bsky.social is the absolute best 💜 Be more like him, and less like that weirdo he quoted

I need you all to see the hype video that this person made to sell their 1994 Geo Metro

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

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.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

DOGE was a smash and grab robbery of our personal data.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

I just saw that the new season of The 1% Club is starting next week, but host has changed to Joel McHale. Disappointed as I thought @pattonoswalt.bsky.social did a great job! I like Joel too but this change seems unnecessary.

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

Too many books? I think what you mean is not enough bookshelves.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

The fight about DEI, CRT, and LGBT+ books in schools is in part about what kinds of voters white kids will grow up to be Some people want white kids to stew uncritically in the psychological wages of whiteness so that they will always vote accordingly
