I really encourage you to listen to this. This entire incident is chilling and crosses yet another line.

rfk to firemen: drop dead

make all the 'sovereignty defeats journalism' jokes you want. they're hilarious! but here's the dude who owns the winning horse -- and runs some of the bougiest stables on the planet.

A "hilarious" thing is that it is pundit accepted truth that anti-dei is extremely popular

Journalism with another loss. Edward R Morrow is rolling in his grave.

From an admin that is obsessed with making sure that Christians are not made fun of or oppressed…

Being owned by a bunch of oligarchs dressed in gaudy clothes and funny hats

Honestly if you’re looking for a model of positive masculinity, you could do a lot worse than Greg Popovich: extraordinarily accomplished, crusty and prickly on the exterior, but also warm, caring, honorable, and a man who has never taken himself too seriously.

Trump literally created a task force to investigate anti-Christian bias. How can I contact them?

Newark airport is in disarray. This is what happens when incompetent people are running the government. The Trump regime and DOGE are to blame for this chaos.

General note to all take out places: I don’t get to have sushi often, so when I do I go all out. I do not need 10 fortune cookies.

Fuck RFK Jr for his beliefs generally but especially fuck him for claiming to care about anyone’s health but shrugging his shoulders at this so he can complain about autism some more

Noem was in a years-long relationship with a man accused of assault by multiple women. Should we assume that her current public statements are made because she is afraid of Corey Lewandowski?

On May 2nd, in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained. 1/ #WeFeedYou

Another “Trump bump” for the center-left: “Australia’s center-left government convincingly won reelection Saturday in a remarkable turnaround driven partly by anger over President Trump’s disruptive trade war and its impact on the close U.S. military ally.” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

If they're going to Rwanda they aren't "deportees" anymore, they've been kidnapped and sold into bondage

Everything he touches.

Australia’s conservative opposition leader had described Trump as a “big thinker” and appointed a shadow minister for “government efficiency”. He lost his seat in parliament today.

No one should be surprised, of course, but it is still absurd and Very Serious People just accept it. The press flipped out on Obama and Biden speaking with influencers. People who weren’t treated as White House correspondents.

in case you haven't already, you should update your thinking about congress and college sports. this is no longer a bipartisan area where everyone's happy to get their shots in at the NCAA. also: wouldn't bank on that bill!

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

it's like you can already see the museums that someone will be censoring in 150 years.

The Big Lie undergirding MAGA’s immigration posture is that immigrants are fundamentally parasitic, they just take from the host country. It’s a fascist conception and also just obviously wrong if you think about it for more than 10 seconds. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

NEW: Trump is abusing the office of the presidency to run a mob-like shakedown of Paramount and CBS News. In any previous administration, this would be a massive scandal. But not in the corrupt Era of Trump. Check out my latest: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is an athlete Trump doesn't want you to know about. He's a pro soccer goalie with no criminal record. He legally immigrated to the US, fleeing persecution from Venezuela's dictator. But the White House disappeared him to El Salvador — because of a tattoo: www.youtube.com/watch?si=zNc...

everyone would be amazed how many still employed cops are on brady lists

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Your regular reminder that NSF grants built the internet and helped the U.S. dominate tech.

NEW: These judges ruled against Trump. Then their families came under attack. My latest with @nedmparker1.bsky.social @bypetereisler.bsky.social @lindasoreports.bsky.social @nateraymond.bsky.social www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The party that screamed bloody murder about Hunter Biden

again, Brazil literally prosecuted the asshole who tried a coup. S Korea impeached their would be dictator. France disqualified theirs because she's an embezzler. 1

One way to read stories based on leaked docs: look at time from being circulated to docs getting published — bc that’s the amount of time it took to a) get someone pissed enough to agree to leak and b) get enough also-pissed people to confirm. These are slides dated April 29-30, published May 1.

NPR did a 30-minute interview with Steve Bannon in his podcast studio that aired just yesterday. PBS had on Chris Rufo tonight. Cozying up to these fucks won’t save you.

It’s not just NPR and PBS, they’re coming to fuck with your local public radio. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Some folks are getting confused by this scenario but the upshot is that vaccines are already approved on the basis of placebo-controlled trials, what RFK is trying to do is eliminate vax updates, which don’t require placebo controlled studies. So basically trying to kill annual flu/COVID updates.

DOJ went to SCOTUS today, asking for DHS Sec. Noem to be allowed to implement her action ending Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the U.S. while the admin appeals a loss below in which the judge concluded that Noem's rationale for the move "smacks of racism."

New from 404 Media: Mike Waltz has inadvertently revealed the obscure app the government is using to archive Signal messages. Made by a company called TeleMessage. Use of the Signal clone raises questions about how messages being secured, what classification of info www.404media.co/mike-waltz-a...

"GDP growth is going to be 2 - 2-1/2 percent in the first quarter, at least." -- Kevin Hassett [GDP actually declined in the first quarter.]

jesse singal is being used as a primary reference by the trump administration on “the dangers of youth transgender care”. he is aiding the states objective of oppression of trans rights directly now

The Signal chat group about to go global.

Excuse me they what?

This is extremely true for all manners of "preppers" and drives right at one of their primary motivations: Like it or not, each of us is existentially dependent on many many people and systems which we'll never fully know and can only control in small ways through collective acts.

“However bad everyone on the outside thinks it is, it is a million times worse. They’re dismantling and destroying everything.” Read, share, respond. Call your representatives. The health and well-being of Americans & America's innovation economy are at stake. www.science.org/content/arti...

Wait, does Disney own the rights to Rocky Horror? Does that make Magenta and Columbia Disney princesses?

New: We interviewed six detained Venezuelans who the Trump admin accused of being gang members and likely nearly sent to El Salvador this month without due process. They—and their relatives—insist they are innocent and provided extensive evidence to support that. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.
