We’re sure many of you have heard about the growing controversy in Oklahoma, where parents are pushing back against a new curriculum quietly pushed through by the state’s superintendent.

Planet Labs just unveiled striking satellite imagery of Blatten, laying bare the tragic aftermath and what little is left of the village.

Y’all!!!! It’s #DollyDay and we are ready to ask the all-important question: What Would Dolly Do #WWDD? She cares about all humans and animals and the planet. Let’s #MakeDollySmile by giving back some of the love she’s shown. Tag her in your post @realdollyparton.bsky.social let her see you care!

When I first saw the media calling the new Covid variant NB.1.8.1 ā€œrazor blade throat variantā€ā€¦ I cringed. It was such a blatant attempt at a click bait headline, and given almost all of the articles minimized the risk, it felt like lazy journalism. But then something happened…

Shoutout to USFS R&D šŸ’š World’s largest forestry R&D studying topics that tie in to our public lands, forests, and trees nationwide. And yes, Chief Shultz, markets, timber products, economics, wildfire, recreation… our scientists study it all.

Some shenanigans over on Twitter this evening. After @notusreports.bsky.social reported today on the invented sources in the MAHA report, Twitter suspended their account. Please check them out here on Bluesky, and see also their webpage notus.org

@mark-carney.bsky.social Re G7: Please force Potus to request special permission to enter Canada as a convicted felon. George HW Bush had to do this in the past because he had a single drunk driving charge on his record. Or refuse Potus entry and force him to attend using zoom.

FRAUDULENT—RFK Jr’s report on ā€œMake America Healthy Againā€ (MAHA) cited completely FAKE studies that do not even exist, & completely misinterprets others. Truly wild. This is the same guy who bypassed all CDC scientists to put out anti vax nonsense. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Here comes the Trump TACO Truck again! www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

"As Musk slinks away, spending went up, not down, during his tenure, and DOGE made the government less efficient, not more..." "A legacy of shattered institutions, weakened public services, and fired civil servants who did nothing but serve their country well..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The Court just ruled Trump’s global tariffs were ā€œultra viresā€ and ā€œcontrary to law.ā€ Translation? He made it all up. No authority. Just vibes and ego. This is what happens when you let a wannabe authoritarian play president.

"The Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus"

Oh I am not shitposting, folks. Stephen Miller, his wife, and Elon are widely rumored to be a throuple. Now Miller's wife is leaving the Trump team to be with Musk & LITERALLY PER THE NEW YORK TIMES Stephen is angrily subtweeting Musk. They actually put it in the paper of record that he was mad

Every single Senate Democrat will stand together against the House-passed ā€œBig, Beautiful Bill.ā€ There’s nothing beautiful about a bill that would cut taxes for the ultra-rich, raise energy costs, slash Medicaid and SNAP, gut environmental protections, and explode the national debt.

Exactly

EMAC gets it done—fast, smart, and with the highest standards in emergency management.

The French satirical magazine has filed a lawsuits after at least 15 fake Charlie Hebdo covers appeared on Telegram and X over the past two years—complete with Russian-language headlines and pro-Kremlin messaging.

Tom Homan, one of the top officials behind the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, is facing questions after it was revealed he was paid by a private prison company that stands to profit from the government’s detention policies.

Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

ā€˜They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

Farcical headline and standfirst in the Daily Telegraph. The BBC accurately revealed Trump’s claims about the memorial in South Africa’s KwaZulu Natal province and claims of ā€white genocideā€ to be baloney.

šŸ”“ Russia launched 367 drones and missiles across Ukraine overnight, killing 13 people—including 3 children—and injuring over 60. Zelenskyy calls it a deliberate attack on civilians, urges tougher sanctions.
