From @nytopinion.nytimes.com: Elon Musk “apparently did not anticipate that it would be bad PR for the world’s richest man to take food and medicine from the world’s poorest children,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

“Go somewhere and chew on bark” is the type of insult only a septuagenarian can pull off

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Conference finals losses, Minnesota men’s top-level pro sports, since the last Twins championship 2025 - Wolves (?) 2024 - Wolves 2020 - Loons 2017 - Vikings 2009 - Vikings 2004 - Wolves 2003 - Wild 2002 - Twins 2000 - Vikings 1998 - Vikings … really a team effort here fellas

Trump says he’s pardoned Scott Jenkins, the Virginia sheriff sentenced to 10 years in prison for taking cash bribes from eight people, including two undercover FBI agents.

BTW, happy tweet-iversary! One of the most famous NBA posts of all time was fired off 10 years ago today, and has remained notable this entire time because the fuckery has refused to subside.

Loons: wet sloppy sibling kiss

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Racket's omitting the best part of this article, the subheadline:

The Israeli military is systematically using Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, several former detainees and soldiers tell the AP, though the practice is banned by a national court decision and international law.

i think it is bad that high level public officials do not respect the offices they hold or the public they are supposed to serve

Flex post, flex post, flex post, flex post, flex post, flex post, BOLLARD. #WorldBollardAssociation

I rarely criticize other people's writing but this article not only feels unusually mean and slanted, the fact that it closes on Jay Mariotti bashing the show without noting that Mariotti was kicked off of it for being a loathsome asshole who beats women is an unacceptable omission to me.

Senators coming for my job now.

Just try to process this.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Just remembered the Orioles' owner did a bobblehead giveaway of himself last month. Amazing. bsky.app/profile/did:...

More centrist blob politics from Mn Reformer - lefty DFLers criticizing deal-making DFLers doesn’t means they’re not criticizing Republicans … just that the leverage they have right now is within the DFL; elections come later. It’s ok to fight over real things. minnesotareformer.com/2025/05/16/g...

"Democrats" don't say that. The Constitution says that, and for 150 years, everyone agreed the Constitution says that.

Some Democrats think it’s politically strategic to stop undocumented folks from receiving healthcare in Minnesota when the state is raising taxes. Nevermind it flies in the face of their purported values…

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters. I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

people say bluesky isn't doing anything new or interesting but that's not quite true: this site has developed the first new way to get mad at the onion in 30 years

This is a fucking embarrassment for any institution, much less one of learning.

Minnesota State Sen. Alice Mann (DFL-Edina) calls out the slashing of MinnesotaCare in the state budget: "There is no fiscal responsibility when you do this. When we take away people's health care, they end up in the emergency department. It costs more money for everyone in the community."

The joint targets released today are unacceptable. This proposal will harm our most vulnerable who are seeking a basic need - healthcare. Eliminating MNCare for undocumented Minnesotans is a morally repugnant decision the DFL should not accept in any form. www.youtube.com/live/1nf4m4a...

Trump 2.0 is a test. A test of our resolve to uphold our values as a nation, as a state, and as a city. This administration pushes up against our values everyday as a challenge to our values. Today, our state leaders failed that test.

DFL doing trump’s work for him with this decision. absolutely appalling

Minnesota Care is funded by a 2% gross receipts tax on all healthcare covereage. So if you go to the doctor, dentist, eye doctor, even the chiropractor, you are helping pay for MNCare, whether you are documented or not. This is absolutely shameful, and we need DFLer to vote against this.

This is a super cool article and absolutely embodies why everyone should subscribe to Racket

Truly an abomination, to the point where I don’t even see how their political calculus supports it

What I'm getting from the new book on Biden's age is that George Clooney has bigger balls than the entire Democratic leadership. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners? TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

I feel like the extremely perverse "the burden of proof in colloquial speech has to be the exact same as in a court of law" baby brain bullshit that they do with sexual assault is spreading to all criminality

"They happen to be white" is the full, complete, and honest answer to this question! He didn't need to say anything else. bsky.app/profile/atru...
