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

Fuckers.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

apnews.com/article/trum... Scientists have lost their jobs or grants in US cuts. Foreign universities want to hire them. Great minds who would flock to American universities are now being recruited to Institutions of Higher Learning elsewhere. Trump is destroying academia and research in America.

“.. European airlines are freezing their transatlantic growth and pulling back from major U.S. cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago as they redirect flights to Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Caribbean.” $JETS $XAL www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

To honor the memory of all veterans, we on E Street remember this live performance of "The Wall" — filmed in 2014 and dedicated to veterans, friends, inspirations and a bandmate lost too soon: Ray and Walter Cichon as well as The Castiles' drummer, Bart Haynes.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 🇺🇸 #SomberMemorialDay

Trump isn't angry at Putin. (If he were, he would doing something more than offer social media posts and limp lip service about Russian atrocities.) He's trying to cover his ass for his always absurd and empty promise that he would end the war within 24 hours. His responses reveal his weakness.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Two of the nation’s most preeminent pediatricians, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Sapna Singh join host Dr. Vin Gupta for an expansive conversation on tackling health misinformation, the real meaning of the MAHA agenda, and the ongoing measles epidemic. Listen to the new episode of Meidas Health!

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a bitter, grievance-filled screed attacking judges, immigrants, and his political rivals—and did not even mention the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Beyond parody

BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett Calls out Republicans and Trump after West Point speech.

Friday's EU tariff announcement lasted nearly the whole weekend, or 18% of a Scaramucci.

He got into Wharton as a transfer student, but—according to his sister!—only after paying someone to take the SAT for him. wapo.st/3F9jVKH

He almost sounds sane if you stop reading after “Happy Memorial Day”

Trump on US Steel: But they're going to invest billions of dollars in steel. And it's a good company. Nissan is a very good company

My latest in @annalsofim.bsky.social how use of the MMR vaccine could shift in America due to our pending re-emergence of measles www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

The American presidency has been reduced to a reality game show no one wants to watch…
