šŸ•øļøšŸƒ "Zelensky has no cards…" they said

if you thought stephen miller hated immigrants before

They attacked, traumatized and fired the competent public servants, and now want your sympathy for being out of their depth.

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt. Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

In the future, they’re going to call 2024 the Heaven’s Gate Election. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/h...

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Our lawsuit challenging Trump's slashing of NIH grants impacts real research and real people. We highlight four scientists whose research is on the line and the implications for us all. ā€œI’m a scientist. I work to keep people healthy.ā€ www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-faces-...

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

THE UNITED STATES IS BEATING DONALD TRUMP, A SENILE LOSER WHO HAS NO SUPPORT, THE PUBLIC HATES HIM, AND HIS ONLY HOPE IS TO IGNORE THE COURTS, BECAUSE HIS PEOPLE ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO WIN A CASE! WE WILL KEEP BEATING HIM TO SAVE OUR GREAT COUNTRY!

This dude got exactly what he voted for—but listen all the way to the end. He makes good points. One thing I’ll add: Qatar was instrumental in funding Hamas. America is a ticking time bomb under Trump.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Honor women. Honor women who’ve chosen to have children. Honor women who’ve miscarried. Honor women who’ve chosen not to have children. Honor women who’ve chosen to end a pregnancy. Honor women.

"Pictures are famous for their humanness, not for their pictureness." Kurt Vonnegut discussion of art in his 1997 novel Timequake offers one explanation why people might find AI creations unsatisfying.

Is the plural ā€˜MILFS’ or ā€˜MILVES’? Have to get this eulogy just right.

Microsoft drops law firm that made a deal with Trump, engaging a firm that is fighting his executive orders

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Do I believe pope Francis held a spot higher than other religious leaders, no. I do believe he practiced what he preached and believed in.

President Volodymyr Zelensky: ā€œThe Russians have always wanted – and still want – the destruction of the United States. This is the policy of the Soviet Union. We are fighting for your rights as well as our own.ā€ (Kyiv Post)

The Ukrainians must surrender to Putin, because that is what we do every day. by J. D. Vance

The face of the administration banning artificial colors

oh hey welcome to your trial, blackshirts

The United States sent possibly innocent men to a foreign prison without a hearing ... and put a convicted felon who led a violent coup against the Constitution in the White House.

The reason It’s necessary to locate expertise…. He’s literally an idiot cosplaying in the one field you can’t fake expertise

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs? Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead? Try not to stay up too late tonight.

The Trump admin’s outrageous immigration overreaches result in situations like this one, where a protected resident & the father of an intellectually disabled American child has been mistakenly placed in a Salvadoran prison. This admin is recklessly & cruelly incompetent. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

This is so blindingly obvious. But I'm still glad people within the world of Trumpism are willing to say it. And not just national security but economic/dynamism and prosperity which of course is the sine qua non, the necessary condition of national power.

It’s like we’ve invented a new kind of evil for the Instagram generation

Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.
