"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...

PBS insisted on removing a 90-second segment from a documentary about Art Spiegelman that was critical of Donald Trump. Daniel Engber reports on a worrying trend in public television:

When Hunter was pardoned that's literally ALL we heard about for weeks! Fuck they are still on these wild goose chases for shit against that man. However DJT has pardoned over what now? 1600 criminals? and counting and yet no one is talking about it?! Well damn. Guess Democracy and Journalism are ☠️

"Let cash registers ring!"

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Yep! That’s The Guy! Reeks Of Hypocrisy….

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

It’s almost like it’s a personal grudge or something.

Whoever made this deserves a medal.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated. Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

When do we start winning?

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

RFK Jr. says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnessed “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 sources. Those citations are rife with errors, though, from broken links to misstatements. "Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all." www.notus.org/health-scien...

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

A Constant Theme From That Political Party….

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Nothing odd about it. He was PAID OFF. @erichristiansen.bsky.social heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-28-202...

Yup.

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

While Trump makes vague threats to Putin on social media, the US blocks G7 from tightening the cap on Russian oil kyivindependent.com/us-blocks-g7...

Can we please stop talking about Jake Tapper now? I mean really, is there anything of value here? And I'm completely baffled by why anyone would watch @cnn.com anymore. Yes, they were the gold standard of TV news for a couple of decades, but for the last three years they've been unwatchable.

Everything Elon touches turns to garbage I am sure that behind the scenes his engineers were praying he would move to DC fulltime He is widely regarded as the worst boss in the United States and it seems clear he has only ever hurt his own companies by being present onsite
