The white house said that the head of FEMA was joking when he said that he didn't know there was a hurricane season and I'm inclined to believe them because this photo screams "I'm a lil jokester"

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

Gun restrictions work. This horrendous act could have been even worse.

Once viewed as the path out of the pandemic, mRNA vaccines are now being vilified — & not just by fringe figures. The attack on this important platform could render the US far more vulnerable in the next pandemic & trailing China in the field of scientific advances. www.statnews.com/2025/06/02/m...

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

After losing more than 560 employees to layoffs and early retirement incentives earlier this year, the National Weather Service has received permission to hire about 125 new meteorologists and specialists for its forecast offices around the country, sources say, as an active hurricane season looms

Just colossally useless. In any job in America, you’d be fired instantly for this level of incompetence and laziness.

Good thing we’re dismantling the FDA so we can all just die from stuff like this

Schumer: Best I can do is nothing

The cost to repair D.C. streets after Trump's upcoming military parade could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.

Another grift built on fantasy by Elon. Where’s doge when you need them?

Republicans' Big, Ugly Budget is a triple threat to the American people. 1. Robbing our kids, seniors, veterans, and families of health care. 2. Leaving many without enough food to eat. 3. And imploding our nation's deficit. Just to hand more tax breaks to billionaires.

Very on brand ghoul stuff

Hear me out, let the raw milk do its thing.

Counterpoint: you actually did vote to deport moms. What part of “mass deportations now” did you not understand?

Ms Rachel said actually no I will not shut up

Seriously, why does anyone trust this guy? www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/05/...

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

Maybe Doge could stop funding a space ship that blows up on every launch

The USA has, or alas maybe soon "had", the greatest research infrastructure in the world. Unambiguously as a country it has driven progress in knowledge in a way that basically nowhere else in history ever has. Its a global tragedy for it to self-euthanise that system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m feeling kind there’s no point to anything. Dems are trying to fund the next bro podcaster to run for president while trump is selling pardons.

Doge just what iffing solutions to problems they created

Kobe! *throws offer into the trash

Imagine any other president in US history writing this on Memorial Day.

This is exactly how fast Trump went from violating one immigrant's rights to violating American citizens' rights. It did not take long.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Having not read the EOs, I’m sure they’re riddled with bad science, I don’t know if these are good but truly, as someone who’s fully in on green energy, I do not understand why we’re not building nuke plants. Modern nuclear energy is amazing and will be the final nail in dirty energies.
