Construction workers. Right before hurricane season.

Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist: “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with," says one researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

I’m thinking InfoWars.

Imposing the new Lysenkoism. Trump signed an order mandating the overhaul of research-integrity policies so that the US government promotes “gold standard science”. But many researchers worry about political interference and are mobilizing opposition. go.nature.com/43EYiKo

Good to see we're draining the swamp and keeping a tight hold on the PRC espionage front

A full 40% of Trump's total networth was acquired through a crypto currency grift he launched as he entered the White House, after taking care to shut down all cryptocurrency criminal investigations and enforcement. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pete Hegseth keeps obsessing over leaks and keeps finding that the leakers are all people he brought into the Pentagon, thinking they were his friends. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It definitely made sense for the stable genius to start a trade war with Canada and talk about making them our 51st state right before he rolled out a grand plan for a Golden Dome missile defense system that requires the cooperation and help of Canada. Master strategist.

Dear Immigration Jusges: STOP HOLDING IN PERSON HEARINGS!! ICE is ambushing people at your courthouses, who are trying to play by the rules. REMOTE hearings only!!!

These are people who are complying with the law. They're coming to their hearings, doing what's asked of them. ICE is snatching them up because Trump wants numbers, and it's a lot easier and cheaper to detain compliant people than to hunt down dangerous people evading apprehension.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Injured DC police officer Dan Hodges on Justice Dept settlement with estate of Ashli Babbitt: “…Trump wants to pay the insurrectionists so that he'll have them on retainer for the next time he wants to influence the course of history with mass violence.”

The Dishonorable Marco Rubio brought The Addams Family's Thing to the hearing.

Trump devises another scheme for paying Elon Musk $25 billion.

Not all heroes wear capes

There is a ZERO percent chance that Donald wrote this message. Not because of the absence of CAPS, but because of the presence of decency.

One of the many differences between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is that Biden has a cancer, whereas Trump *is* a cancer. Wishing the former one well.

The pope picks Zelenskyy as the first head of state to receive a private audience.

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Swing state voters have sued Elon Musk's PAC, saying he didn't pay the promised $100 for signing his petition. There's also a class action alleging that his $1 million-a-day giveaway was a scam. Imagine that. 🙄 www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

With WaPo's makeover into a Rupert Murdoch-style publication, its viewership is collapsing

MAGA wants the ex-FBI Dir imprisoned for posting a photo of seashells, Moodys downgraded credit rating of the US for 1st time ever, Trump defies court orders & is ranting at SCOTUS, Taylor Swift and Springsteen, Ukraine-Russia peace talks were a disaster, but Biden is still old.

Yeah ok, but did you hear Biden is old?
