The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

The Trump administration’s disturbing pattern of arresting and detaining American citizens for exercising their right to free speech and protest is not only sickening—it’s a blatant abuse of power and a stain on our democracy. David Huerta should be released immediately.

It’s fascinating how maga people will try to treat shit like these two dorks slap fighting as alpha males tussling because they are mighty bull elephants but if AOC acted anywhere near this emotional it would be the biggest story of the entire year

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

among other things i appreciate that mamdani can actually dress himself

We have an official ruling

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

"The scientific research base of the United States of America *is* the research university. We made that decision 80 years ago. We don't have a Plan B." — Condoleezza Rice

“AESC has informed the state of South Carolina and our local partners that due to policy and market uncertainty, we are pausing construction at our South Carolina facility at this time... We anticipate being able to resume construction once circumstances stabilize.”

All the worst people were fighting last night.

We are going to laugh hysterically and mock TACO Trump again, who will cave to a man who called him a pedophile because he’s weak and always caves. Just like he is going to cave to Xi.

It just so happens that he was also Trump’s lawyer, so he can’t reveal anything that would hurt his client Trump without facing disbarment.

If there is one thing this second Trump admin has conclusively proven week after week is that daily traders in the stock market are a bunch of fucking idiots, regardless of how much money they may have.

On the Trump-Musk feud, @aoc.bsky.social: “Oh man, the girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

I didn’t think this was real

I regret to inform you that ackman is at it again

Trump can threaten SpaceX and Musk. But US government needs SpaceX almost more than SpaceX needs US government. DOD is addicted to SpaceX, as is NASA. Starlink is surging in profits anyway faster than SpaceX launch. Yes, Musk gets massive fed contracts. But DOD needs to get to space. So does NASA

Trump: "You know, Ukraine had the most beautiful turrets. They call them turrets. The little towers. Beautiful towers. The most beautiful in the world. They're all now laying on their side."

Trump threatens to take away Elon’s government contracts

I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, folks

This is not a denial

“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else. I think that, in the way that we have in this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” - Zohran Mamdani

yes! tried to make this point in my most recent column with a reference to "the king's two bodies"

If you think you're having a bad day think about the board of directors of Tesla who are quite literally on the line, legally, for everything that Musk did over the last eight months.

National Airport is gonna close for hours, delaying thousands of passengers, because Donald Trump wants someone to bring him a flag via parachute. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... (In 1993 the media made a mini scandal out of Bill Clinton getting a haircut on AF1 that delayed 0 flights)

As a Musk biographer, my view—based on the available evidence—is that if Trump and his team get their hands on Elon Musk’s federal citizenship application and compare it to the public acknowledgment by Kimbal Musk that he and his brother knowingly violated their student visas, Musk can be deported.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

if i was shit posting for clicks i would be talking about how hakeem jeffries has it handled clap clap clap and mueller is coming

Alright look. Don't all get mad at me. It's almost like he doesn't have a coherent ideology and will do whatever he thinks is most advantageous? Maybe I'm going too far

The atmosphere is a needy sponge, demanding more and more water as it warms. This "atmospheric thirst" is largely responsible for the increase in drought severity and areal extent seen in the last 40 years, a new study finds. "A hotter world is a thirstier world." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/c...

I’m skeptical.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."
