Their goal is to erode American culture as we know it.

I can't.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

Netflix just added: AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973) THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS (1974) MIDWAY (1976) THE JERK (1979) AIRPORT 1970/75/77 And from April they kept: PSYCHO (1960) GUNS OF NAVARONE (1961) ROOSTER COGBURN (1975) SMOKEY & THE BANDIT (1977) 11 pre-1980 films! What did we do to deserve this? #FilmSky

seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!

🎉 BIG UPDATE 🎉 In addition to our regularly scheduled 5/3 event in Santa Monica, on Sunday morning 5/4, Elon Musk will reportedly be in Beverly Hills to speak at the Milken Institute Global Conference! 📢 LET’S GIVE HIM A PROPER WELCOME! actionnetwork.org/events/tesla... @evansutton.bsky.social

He's not invincible.

There is a lot to parse through in Trump's budget request that just came out. But here are the highlights: - Total, a 10% overall cut - State Dept is getting hacked to bits. Mind-boggling. - HUD is nearly slashed in half. - Education Dept is still kickin in FY26 - HHS down by more than a quarter

Reuters: WHITE HOUSE BUDGET PROPOSAL: WOULD CUT FUNDS FOR USAID, NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, PRESCHOOL GRANTS, MINORITY BUSINESS AGENCY

We can talk about DOGE’s failure to cut two trillion dollars in “waste” all day, but the real story is how much Elon Musk is enriching himself by remaining in the government.

North America in three quotes by heads of state.

The fact that Musk is seeking new government spending on his companies while dismantling spending on core public services seems like a bit of a conflict.

Two of the offices without senior officials are Houston and Tampa, which, whew, that’s not good. A slow moving catastrophe that won’t be widely understood until it’s too late.

The FCC is not supposed to be a censor. Chair Brendan Carr hasn't gotten the message. www.wired.com/story/plaint...

Robocop was a documentary.

Liz Oyer, the Justice Department’s recently fired pardon attorney, made a staggering claim on social media this week: President Donald Trump’s pardons of people convicted of white-collar crimes have cost Americans $1 billion.

Happy May Day!

Being a decent human being is so easy, more people should try it.

never even minding the security concerns, how does any of this comply with various record retention laws

"The millions who will die due to this administration’s policies have lives, names, friends and family who love them. Let them not just be figures in scientific papers—let their memorial be the whole earth." — @gregggonsalves.bsky.social

Protesters are expected to gather in more than 1,000 cities and towns across the U.S. on Thursday to oppose President Trump’s plans to cut education funding, rollback workers’ rights and carry out mass deportations. Follow for the latest on the Trump administration.

1. Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud. The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum.

#ResignSchumer you incompetent shithead.

I know this is VERY Lakers fan-y, but I'm ready to move on from JJ Redick.

Honestly could not care less.

We're being dismantled by the biggest buffoons on the planet

"We need to strengthen our ability to use antisemitism accusations as a cudgel against the leftist enemy within while also codifying our right to be raging antisemites." It's just so perfect. What an ugly farce this all is.

[seeing an issue where your opponent is polling 21 points underwater] Ok let's slow it down here let's not get carried away

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

As far as I know, even the Nazis didn't come up with the idea of sharing footage from concentration camp to fulfill the sadistic desires of their supporters. German High Command kept that for their own private viewing.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

President Trump at once appoints the nation's top financial regulators & profits from one of the world's fastest growing crytpo companies. It's one of the most explicit financial conflicts of interest in presidential history. A NYT investigation published today digs into this nyti.ms/44KUVn8

Concepts of a plan

The #MiamiMarlins have played 32 full seasons. They have had 8 winning seasons. They have made the playoffs 4 times. They have won the World Series 2 times. They have won their division 0 times.

This is 100% the correct take. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is stepping up to the moment.

Trump’s Support Surges After He Points Gun At Nation

Imagine sucking so much that countries where you’re not on the ballot vote against you

Maybe their theory is that, as Trump thought about COVID at this time in 2020, if we don't think about cancer it will go away

TELSEY begins tracking price increases over the past week. Some highlights: * Abercrombie jeans: up 33% * Amazon Echo: up 38.5% * Target / Barbie doll: up 42.9%

Three months in and they’ve already lost the country faster than any White House in decades. From here on out it’s just them whining about about how everyone is being mean to them.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

With the shuttering of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, rules are changing on bank overdraft fees, medical debt’s credit impact and more.

Uhhhh
