Republicans have gotten a *lot* more regressive on gender in a very short period of time. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/o...

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social region9a.uaw.org/news/NYCMayo...

Illinois Congresswoman and notorious bigot Mary Miller posted an Islamophobic tweet this morning, realized she had made a mistake, and then posted an anti-Sikh tweet. She has since deleted the anti-Sikh tweet.

Billionaires ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time aageya. Billionaires already have everything. Now, your time has come.

among other things i appreciate that mamdani can actually dress himself

This is MAGA.

“According to LinkedIn, the bulk of Fugate’s leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club.”

Soldiers accused an IDF officer of ordering troops to shoot two Gazans waving a white flag – an order another commander rejected as illegal – but he was still promoted to battalion commander www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It's bad that USDA political leadership reportedly interfered for political purposes with the timing and text in a report around a statistical release. Cold comforts: they reportedly didn't interfere with the statistical estimates per se. Similar reports have not emerged from BLS, BEA, nor Census.

Her 12 yr old daughter screams and runs after him. Ambar wails in agony and collapses onto the sidewalk. As the SUVs pull away Ambar leans over a nearby fence sobbing, “My love, my love.” — via @gwynnefitz.bsky.social @fractenberg.bsky.social www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/04/i...

Just going to point out that it's Trump, not Harvard, trying to ban Israeli students from the campus. (As well as Jewish students from Canada, the UK, France, etc.)

Health experts came out with a new analysis yesterday concluding the MAGA murder budget will lead to 51,000 preventable deaths from its health care cuts - every single year.

Trump’s “Freedom Cities” are part of a tech billionaire-backed plan to replace democracy with corporate rule. It’s called The Network State, and it’s already underway. Got 5 minutes? Here's what you need to know www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCj_...

The FEMA head didn’t know about hurricane season and they’ve gutted NOAA weather monitoring. Musk and RFK eviscerated our public health programs. The FAA is in shambles. Trump’s tariff reckoning is coming due. And the DHS head of counterterrorism is a 22-year-old bro. This summer is going to ROCK!

I had no idea Siri could be such a wiseass, but here’s her (and my) last reminder for DC Bar members to vote for Diane Seltzer (and not Brad Bondi) before the end of the evening on Wednesday, June 4. Maybe I should change the settings on my iPhone???

This is the same kind of flippant giddiness about wanton death and destruction that you see on Russian TV programs about Ukraine.

Ono was a victim of the politicization of higher education but at least he can feel happy that he stuck to his principles and maintained his dignity *touches earpiece* OK, we have an update on that

According to GOP: Minimum wage worker makes a mistake on the form documenting his work hours: Fraud! Waste! Abuse! Take away his health coverage! Guy files 866,000 false Medicare claims, defrauds government of $87 million: Give that man a pardon! www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

Ric Grenell has been running it, so I’m sure he will accept responsibility. As MAGA does.

Is "disgusting abomination" the same, worse, or better than "rapid uncontrolled disassembly"?

It felt good to sign this petition, and add a personal note. Tell Congress: Save NASA Science www.congressweb.com/PlanetarySoc...

This, combined with a Reuters report that Iran was about to reject Trump’s previous proposal, indicates that TACO Trump has made an appearance at the Iran nuke talks and he is caving.

I understand that many people on the left think that associating Trump with conservative views is a shortcut to delegitimizing everything about conservatism, but Trump is no conservative; the MAGA movement is Big Government, Nanny Statism for white people.

I cannot emphasize enough that this and only this is the mind handling global affairs on our country’s behalf right now: www.thedailybeast.com/trump-and-om...

My condolences to Mr. Baulieu's family during this difficult time, and millions of us around the world thank him for the work he has done allowing women to seek safer healthcare options when it comes to managing our pregnancies 🙏 💙

In Texas Republicans say THC is unacceptable yet they’re okay with selling gun ammo out of a vending machine

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Target's bold "Pride" collection this year features a colorless hoodie with the words "Out Loud & Proud" written teeny tiny only the string.

Bc journalists have dropped all skepticism, EVEN ABOUT Elon's claimed departure, here's my non-exclusive list of DOGE debunkings. The entire thing was a fraud that seems to have achieved one main thing: consolidating govt data in a way ripe for totalitarianism. www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-it...

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

Looks like Trump's FBI is involved in accounting fraud. edition.cnn.com/2025/05/29/p...

President Trump's new pardon attorney, Ed Martin, described the men convicted of plotting to kidnap Gov. Whitmer as "victims just like January 6" and said that "on the pardon front, we can't leave these guys behind." www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
