It feels like a sip of water in a desert, but it's nice to see that something is working: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

Budget cuts “enacted by the Trump administration could halt lifesaving discoveries like the one used to help KJ. This is unacceptable. My son and his physicians fought as hard as they could for his life, and it wasn’t enough. Researchers need more resources at their disposal, not fewer.”

WOW. Federal judge orders the release of Kseniia Petrova, the Russian researcher detained by ICE for months and recently charged for allegedly smuggling frog embryos into the United States.

just going on the teevee and admitting it's all first amendment violations

Scoop: Nancy Mace's fmr staff tell me they were assigned to create burner accounts to bolster their boss online. “We were congressional staff, and there were actual things we could be doing to help the constituents," one said. 1/ www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I honestly think that this is a sanctionable brief. It falsely claims that the District Court "forc[ed] the government to detain [8 men] at a military base in Djibouti." This is false. As Judge Murphy himself repeatedly emphasized, it was the DOJ that requested the option of holding them overseas!

Yes, VA06 is deep-red, but c'mon....Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA06) is just a HORRENDOUSLY bad representative, literally ANYONE would be better than this guy - toss him out! bluevirginia.us/2025/05/tues...

DO NOT TRAVEL TO USA with too much clothing 👀 A 🇺🇸 military wife from Australia denied entry, body cavity searched, strip searched, forced to stay in a prison with criminals overnight before deportation. youtu.be/0cYsSl-twEg?...

We used to mock President Reagan for his “Star Wars” fantasies. And here we are 40 years later with this “Golden Dome” nonsense.

I'm an American living in Mexico with my Mexican family. We had a discussion of holiday in the US or Mexico and I argued the US is not a safe place for my family. We will holiday in Oaxaca, it is safer than the US. We live in the 2nd deadliest city in the world and I still wouldn't visit the US.

“Specialised imagery equipment fitted to planes flying over flood-impacted NSW show the devastating impact the Mid North Coast floods have had on the state's farmland. Australian location intelligence firm Nearmap took the photos using plane-attached cameras” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

💉🧵Should healthy children get COVID-19 vaccine❓ TLDR: young healthy children <2 years old absolutely should because their risk of severe COVID-19. For older healthy low risk children, this is a risk benefit discussion.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

NEW — I obtained the full State Dept. memo Politico reported on earlier today that calls for a pause on the scheduling of interviews for certain foreign student visas: www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

A Boston-based federal judge lambasted the Trump administration for misrepresenting his order and falsely attacking him Monday, amid a dispute over the administration’s illegal effort to deport undocumented men to South Sudan without first giving them due process.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Stanford folks: I’ll be one of the speakers at the Rally to Defend Education and Research this Friday (May 30), 12–2 PM in White Plaza. If you care about academic freedom and the role of universities in a democracy, now’s the time to show up. Hope to see many of y’all there!

🚨BREAKING: DOJ has filed a new voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XEW...

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Eurobarometer: ▪️80% of European respondents agree with welcoming into the EU people fleeing the war. ▪️76% agree with providing financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine. ▪️59% agree with the EU financing the purchase and supply of military equipment to Ukraine.

It is impossible for me to hear this man's name without thinking about the skeet

DOJ files for 30 more days to answer complaint in Abrego Garcia. That’s needlessly dilatatory, but it’s the sort of motion that is routinely granted. Not this time. Judge Xinis denies it and orders them to file today. More concrete cost for their shabby lawyering and squirrelly evasions.

Among the (many) reasons for Canada participating in European rearmament is a tacit acknowledgment that someday—perhaps quite soon—America may very well go full Gilead. On that day, Canada will stand ready to oppose it. #cdnpoli #canada #canadasky #TheHandmaidsTale

JUST IN: 🇬🇪’s (so-called) Minister of Internal Affairs Vakhtang Gomelauri (left) and Head of the Patrol Police Vazha Siradze (right) resign, with Gomelauri citing desire to spend time with his grandchild. Both are sanctioned. Gomelauri is under US Magnitsky & UK Global Human Rights sanctions too. 1/

Good news!! They have extended the public comment period until June 7th! So you still have time to submit!! The proposed rule could have huge negative impacts for the federal government, particularly the more technical agencies.

Typing with one eye closed, the former "president" of Russia, trying to meet his monthly quota of threatening nuclear armegeddon if Russia isn't allowed to continue its global terror binge.

It’s great to see 11 states forming the Affordable Clean Cars Coalition, a development both so necessary given federal attacks, and so promising given the enormous strides forward of affordable EVs. Plug in! Take off! usclimatealliance.org/press-releas...

KOH on the Trump Pardon: "This guy was supposed to be paying Social Security and Medicare taxes for his employees and instead bought a $2 million yacht."

That Ukrainian drone swarm last night hit an aircraft manufacturing plant and a drone development facility near Moscow. #explodey

Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday reiterated his urgency for Springfield to hammer out a deal addressing the Chicago Transit Authority’s fiscal cliff before the current legislative session ends this week, while remaining vague on his latest demands.

Hateful woman in Palmdale, California, keeps threatening to call ICE on a man—for flying a Mexican flag. Except, he’s an American citizen and flies the flag because he sells Mexican food. That’s it.

Three byelections on June 23rd. One clear choice to vote🧡@albertandp.ca! ✔️Edmonton-Strathcona, ✔️Edmonton-Ellerslie ✔️Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills Let’s get to work to send more strong voices to the Legislature! #ableg #abpoli #betterstartsnow #byelection #vote

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.
