I know I should take this seriously but this ICE tweet genuinely made me laugh.

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

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

"If the proposal is enacted, Americans today and tomorrow will be sicker, poorer, and die younger” an $18 Billion cut Only 3 NIH Institutes will remain in place, and even they will have their funds markedly reduced www.statnews.com/2025/05/30/n...

International attention for Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick, which concludes that #DansBan on THC while Patrick accepts thousands from alcohol lobbyists officially makes him a "hypocrite". Podcast: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x ⁠https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/hypocritical-texas-leader-lauds-thc-35309266

Just returning from a reporting trip to the Permian Basin, where oil industry executives told me a big reason production is falling is the already high 25% tariffs make the crucial steel pipes for drilling prohibitively expensive.

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

This just BEGS for some hacker out there to cull and post as MUCH personal info on DJT (or ALL trumpies) as they can scrub up. The self-described "most transparent admin" is only transparent w/OUR data and that needs to change!

Seems bad

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.

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" report contained nonexistent studies and false citations.

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.

While normally a fan of fiction, even outlandish fiction like this, I find this particular fiction author, while certainly prolific, rather dull as he lacks both imagination and craft, leading him to publish relentless repetition.

Elon Musk used so much ketamine he wrecked his bladder: insiders www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-us...

“Gold standard science” The top tier medical journals are “corrupt” Our report with many fabricated references had “formatting issues”

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

YIKES www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Hey Savanah, vete a la mierda! 🖕

THANK YOU!!!

"You live in a fantasy world, and your fantasy world is costing people their lives." - @repjohnbryant.bsky.social speaks in opposition to SB 1596, a bill that would remove the ban on sawed-off shotguns. #txlege

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Young people are facing a future defined by societal & ecological collapse. What’s “missing from the conversation” is why these fossil fuel psychopaths, knowingly burning our kids’ futures for 50 years, are allowed to dictate our politics & lives when they should be rotting in jail.

Because free speech.

Voters overwhelmingly think ALL Americans should have access to vaccines — not just those who are immunocompromised.

Sen. Booker introduces bill to transfer Marshals Service That is good bill to pass, Senator Booker. The Marshall Service should have been under the court all along. It did not matter before when we have presidents who obeys the US Constitution and laws

RFK has GOT TO GO!!!!! #IdiotsRunningGovt

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. threatened to bar government scientists from publishing in major medical journals, saying on a podcast that three top journals were “corrupt” and influenced by pharmaceutical companies.

I didn't know the Secretary of Homeland Security was running either Iran or Israel policy. Someone should let Marco know.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

You just know he's going to blow it all on squeaky toys & catnip.

Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.

SERIOUSLY @bluecrossbluesky.bsky.social ?????

#GrifterInChief

Trump’s Deputy White House Chief of Staff is his former golf caddie, so obviously none of these people were chosen for their qualifications, competence and experience. Once you’ve established that you will tell anyone who asks that Trump shot a 67, there’s no limit to how high you can go.

If they want to post the 10commandments in public schools; then equal time for ALL OTHER RELIGIONS. Jewish, Muslim, Buddists etc. Fair is Fair

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Reminder: Kristi Noem doesn’t seem to know what habeas corpus is. Why the hell doesn't anyone know how to do their job in this administration?

The #txlege advanced SB 10, a bill forcing taxpayer-funded schools to display the Ten Commandments. "Are we going to hand the public school system still another irresolvable controversy that will cause our local schools one problem after another, from now on?" - @repjohnbryant.bsky.social (1/2)

MUST WATCH: She came out with her girlfriend. They took her high school diploma. This is bigger than one school—it’s a system built to silence. F*ck Around & Find Out is the playbook for fighting back. Read it. Share it. Use it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

100 years ago today a Tennessee grand jury indicted science teacher John Scopes for violating the state’s law making it a crime “to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”

I don’t think it’s a particularly hot take to say the person who posted a timelapse of themself playing GTA V on the interstate in their Cybertruck should be in prison

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Are you f'n kidding me????? This is INSANE. They are really looking to take over "Allied Special Intelligence Group"?
