“.. interest-free loans on the Cybertruck until the end of the month .. the equivalent of a roughly $10,000 discount and shows that Tesla has reached a new level of desperation ..” @electrek.co $TSLA electrek.co/2025/06/05/t...

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Drama Queens

Yup!

The Trump administration isn't deporting criminals or gang members; they're deporting students, neighbors, mothers, and fathers.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

A coalition of federal, state and county law enforcement agencies arrested Hardy’s police chief following an investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse, according to a Tuesday press release from the Arkansas State Police.

Grant Hardin, the one-time Arkansas police chief who escaped from the prison where he was serving sentences for murder and rape, has been recaptured, according to the Izard County Sheriff’s Office. cnn.it/4ebfaxj

Ex-police chief convicted of rape and murder captured after escaping Arkansas prison www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The former sheriff had been free after pleading guilty to misleading the FBI, but is now in jail for violating the conditions of his release. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

It’s refreshing to see a criminal Arkansas police chief in the news rather than a criminal Arkansas sheriff.

While Musk & Trump duke it out, remind people how much Musk benefits from federal grants vs public news resources like PBS & NPR.

"European Union backs ICC after US sanctions on court judges." www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

If your candidate isn’t including making the US a signatory to the ICC, we don’t want them.

This is really it. Worship of money is a sickness like heroin addiction.

@timmiller.bsky.social "JD VANCE" IS NOT HIS REAL NAME! Birth Certificate #2 1. James Donald Bowman & 2. Ohio's vital statistics office reads James David Hamel JD uses HAMEL for High School, YALE & served in the military officially, Cpl. James D. Hamel Can't find a legal name change for JD Vance.

It sucks to be JD Vance right now--Sucks because Papa Trump and Papa Musk are fighting; he has to pick a side, and there are no good options. Vance isn’t just the VP. He’s the VP to a crazy, unhinged, vengeful sum’bitch who sent a murderous mob after his first VP and relished their bloodlust.

As today's article in WaPo about how DOGE "fired too many people" makes clear, it was ALL performative bullshit. The entire Elon Musk/Trump/MAGA/DOGE shitshow was foolish, costly, destructive and unnecessary. It accomplished nothing but wrecking careers, and likely cost more money than it "saved."

Humiliating stupidity

He’s building a ballroom while slashing food for hungry kids. That’s not “cutting waste,” it’s definition of waste. Millions go to bed hungry so a guy who doubled his wealth in 4 months can waltz under chandeliers. Waste, Fraud and Abuse? Look in the mirror.

defended my thesis and officially have a PhD in Astrophysics 🥹🥹 5 years of hard work, dedication and lots of support from my advisor and the department 🫶 so grateful for what’s been and what’s to come

Yes. We are completely clear on this point.

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

In my opinion this Tweet is an admission to stealing the election!!!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW!

Very good question.

On June 5, 1941, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802, which prohibited racial discrimination in defense and federal jobs. While it didn’t eliminate workplace bias, it marked a civil rights milestone — a demonstration that progress is driven by persistence.

I have VERY VERY mixed feelings about the NY Post but this rules
