I think Green Day summed it up well.

A judge ruled EPA termination of environmental justice grants was unlawful. EPA cannot “thumb its nose at Congress” by refusing to spend appropriated funds, the judge wrote.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

Another SPACE X explosion

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

New book drop…

Powell: Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity

President Obama spoke yesterday about the need for law firms to stand up to Trump. "Presumably, you went into the law because you believe in the law. If you are getting pressure from government saying ignore, fudge, or compromise that commitment. You have to push back."

Always.

As they’re trying to do the right thing

How was Donald Trump able to sell himself as the "peace candidate" in the first place? On this, like so much else, the Democrats made his life much easier, @theshufflediary.bsky.social writes.

📌One of my favorite signs at the No Kings march here in Madison yesterday ...

The level of being drunk where you develop the European Roseanne Barr Accent.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

The Senator was in the building for official business. The FBI Police knew who he was and where he was. Any other message is pure spin.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

Stand back. Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military— Act like the Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be president, at least try to play the part. Fake it, if nothing else. Stand back— We’ll clean up your mess.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

The language of authoritarianism’: how Trump and allies cast LA as a lawless city needing military intervention. As a pretext to sending in the national guard, the White House marked the Ice protests as a broader threat to the US www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Our military should be standing here with us the PEOPLE ‼️You took an oath to the constitution, NOT to those bstrds in the White House‼️ thank you very much for speaking up.

"It would have been unthinkable to the members of the 9th Congress that a bill enacted to prevent the establishment of a rival nation would be invoked to shut down a few thousand citizens peacefully protesting the arbitrary kidnapping of U.S. residents by heavily armed federal oprichniki."

Fight the Empire.

She was right.

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

“The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican— this is a line we cannot cross as a nation -- this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

👇🏻

Stephen Miller had the audacity to call peaceful ICE protests in L.A. an “insurrection.” Let’s be real—if you need a reminder of what a real insurrection looks like, we’ve got January 6 burned into history. Don’t let them rewrite the truth.

Everyone on Twitter right now.

Are we great yet?

From American consumers. That’s who.

The US Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, seemingly does not know about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges: “I will look into it and get back to you.”

What the hell...Felons performing police duties. We can't get any lower. How disgraceful !

The entire world laughs at this fool.

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people. They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.
