GOP to America: Stop clinging to your healthcare and retirement. We are all going to die sometime. We’re just gonna make sure it happens sooner, and from a homeless shelter.

Tim Walz takes a shot at Susan Collins: "She's always 'deeply concerned' about things. Well do something then, about being 'deeply concerned.'"

SPACENEWS: NASA budget would cancel dozens of science missions, lay off thousands (But sets aside nearly $2 billion effectively earmarked for SpaceX) spacenews.com/nasa-budget-...

Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously.   I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. ⚖️🗳️ When we fight, we win.💪

The pardon power exists to correct legal errors, not to let reality TV hosts monetize it.

Pope Bob! My man!

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

Oh, look, this Cybertruck got the aftermarket Roman customization package.

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/n...

Never forget what Mussolini did! Smeared the press, demanded loyalty, threatened opponents, cried election fraud, and spread lies through state channels… oh wait, that was Taco Donold.

The entire point.

If morons were idiots, then the name “morons” wouldn’t need to exist. You’d just call them idiots.

Going out the way he came in (high off his ass)

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

MAUREEN DOWD: “.. Elon Musk came to Washington with a chain saw and left with a black eye. “..’Shrinking government is hard, particularly when you do it callously and carelessly — and apparently on hallucinogens.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

The new NASA FY2026 budget request is abysmally bad. Gutting Artemis, huge cut to ISS, huge cut to science, huge cut to the NASA workforce and many other things. It's embarrassing that NASA published this graphic with it, so I fixed it. This is how you lose your space program.

"Where are the Democratic leaders? We should have been dancing on this (the "We're all going to die!" remarks of Sen. Joni Earnst to her constituents who complained of healthcare cuts) two seconds after she said it!" -Rev. Al Sharpton He's exactly right. Where are they?

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

What drugs? 🥴

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Make no mistake: Illinois is leading the nation in strengthening women’s health care. With the passage of HB 3637, we are expanding the ways we shield our providers from punishment for delivering life-saving health care. We are not going back.

Jake Tapper's TV show ratings are tanking and his book isn't selling, proving that peddling irrelevant BS during a time of an actual national crisis isn't a winning formula.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

NSF is planning to cut the number of people doing science by roughly 75%.

At our National School of Tropical Medicine in the Texas Medical Center we’re concerned about the possible return of arbovirus infections and are planning accordingly. See our paper and tweet thread from @integralanswers.bsky.social easttexashistory.org/tours/show/7

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.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

* US JUDGE SAYS SHE PLANS TO ISSUE INJUNCTION BLOCKING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM IMMEDIATELY REVOKING HARVARD'S ABILITY TO ENROLL FOREIGN STUDENTS @reuters.com

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

Futures surged Wednesday night as a federal court knocked down Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs. Futures tied to the S&P 500 rose 1.6%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 2%. Dow futures added 511 points, or 1.2%. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/28/s...

🌮

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

They really didn’t like the TACO question.

Insider trading? Would be nice to hear what Sen Markwayne Mullin has to say about this.

Fuckers.
