There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

I cannot stop wheezing

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

He can go fuck himself, actually.

BREAKING: Trump has banned all foreign-national Harvard students and researchers from entering the US on student or foreign exchange visas. Shifts legal fight from one over State and DHS powers to presidential powers

"The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional." I've seen enough. We can confidently declare the Trump administration to be the biggest collection of assholes in American history.

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

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

Elon Musk’s Legacy Is Disease, Starvation and Death (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

WaPo profile of new, pensive Musk, so relieved to escape "controversy of DC Beltway" that for some reason—who can say why??— landed on him. Made him "whipping boy" Phrases not in piece: "Largest single donor" "feeding USAID into woodchipper" "mass firings" www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

🚨BREAKING: U.S Department of Justice files voter suppression lawsuit targeting North Carolina voter registration. The weaponization of DOJ for political gain is here. Subscribe to Democracy Docket to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I cannot emphasize this enough; people were live-tweeting imaginary gun battles between North Carolina sheriffs and FEMA stormtroopers, and the richest man in the world was one of them. People can now live in their own imaginary worlds if they want to, and they're choosing to, at scale.

Maybe Trumpo can invite Putin to the WH and show him pics?

McGovern: Some people are wondering why are we debating this bill at 120AM which is prime time in Guam because they are ashamed of what they are bringing to this floor. They should be

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

“.. ‘We need to do some rewriting” and more analytic work “so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS,’ Joe Kent, the chief of staff to Ms. Gabbard, wrote in an email to a group of intelligence officials on April 3 ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

“you should have a choice” means “we get to choose for you”

🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.

If it weren’t for James Comey, right now Trump would be begging Netflix to bite on his New Apprentice pitch that Peacock passed on. I don’t understand how he can be mad at him.

“.. the reality is that the Qatari jet can’t ever be upgraded to meet the mandated requirement for Air Force One that it should be able to repel a missile or drone attack. So forget it being anything other than a gift for the president’s retirement.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

This is the problem with X in a nutshell. You fundamentally can't trust the product, because the owner will trash it's functioning in an effort to make the world match his batshit views. It's as if Henry Ford was not just antisemitic, but stitched anti-semitic propaganda into every Model T.
