Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters — including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars.  He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders — including 34 companies that funded his inauguration. Is this being "tough on crime"?

This part

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

Sunset on Friday 18th December 1908. I have cleaned-up this astounding autochrome photograph of twilight 117 years ago, taken in colour by Julien Gérardin. It is an original colour plate, not colourised.

I sometimes forget he actually believes this shit. Ain’t nobody goin nowhere.

Perfectly priced. 86/47

Yes. I was being very very very conservative. A lot depends on what happens next.

decades-long manhunt finally ends

I suddenly realized I have free will and could print my pixel art on a polaroid

Here is a nice mushroom

Said it before, I’ll say it again. We shouldn’t privatize NASA. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

Yes, all right, you can have one more flower photo, as a treat

If Karoline Leavitt had gotten an LGBTQ degree from Harvard she would know to say fewer instead of less.

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

Here are some nice mushrooms

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

Working eighty hours a month to stay on Medicaid is like running a mile a day to keep your wheelchair.

Trump wants to balloon the military budget to over $1 TRILLION per year — while cutting roughly that amount from Medicaid and SNAP. Meanwhile, the Pentagon just failed its 7th consecutive audit. "Fiscal responsibility."

Because free speech.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

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.

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.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

It costs Canada zero to say no. Then you can't build your so-called "Golden Dome."

Narrator: they were not considering the offer

Not a coincidence.

I still can’t believe Jesse Watters, a blow-dried manicured made-up soft little TV guy whose hands probably feel like pillows, thinks he’s in a position to proclaim what Real Men can do.
