Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

The downside of calling your social media posts "Truths," is that when your social media service crashes, this *has to be* the error message: "No Truths. When this user composes a Truth, or ReTruths, you will see it here."

It's pretty simple - if you own a gun and live in a home where a child is present, you should be required to keep your gun locked up. Today, I joined with Representative Lisa Subeck in introducing a bill that would require gun owners to secure their weapon whenever a child is present in their home.

Not only does Trump's badly worded travel ban include a poorly phrased "World Cup" exemption, his mistaken travel ban could kick foreign players off US teams. It will ban fans from visiting, which gives rivals an advantage by letting them get support from the stands. www.bbc.com/sport/olympi...

Don't get your hopes up. The Trump DOJ correctly points out that the Florida Bar has already rejected two bar association complaints against Pam Bondi. Seems the Florida Bar has chosen to follow the state's public school standards into the sewers, and allow anyone in. thehill.com/regulation/c...

TACO Trump usually Chickens Out, but much like his fondness for unneeded tariffs in general, steel tariffs are one of his weird lines in the sand. He seems to be stuck in the 19th century, thinking the US steel industry needs protecting. news.cgtn.com/news/2025-06...

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Part of the problem is cuts to Medicaid. Due to Automatic Sequestration rules passed by the Republican controlled Congress during the Obama Admin, raising the deficit too much means automatic cuts to Medicare too. Raising the deficit is part of the GOP OBBB plan to cut healthcare for the needy.

Because Joe Rogan is Joe Rogan, pseudoarchaeology has once again come up on his platform. This time it's the fake mummified aliens from Peru. Pseudoarch is damaging to heritage in many different ways, and the fake aliens are a stark example of that. Rogan platforming this fuels the damage.

Companies could be taking advantage, but some companies may be raising prices on all their products, to avoid massive price hikes on just the products affected by the tariffs. Of course, with fuel and energy tariffs, all products are indirectly affected by tariffs. www.axios.com/2025/06/04/t...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?
