Trump has slashed federal aid programs, food donations have become even more important in a supply chain for food banks that has relied on steady government support —even as donations grow more haphazard in both timing and what’s available reut.rs/45HxMm3

Groundwater is one of my big obsessions

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

"I did this for Gaza!" the terrorist said after killing two people. No, he didn't. He did it because he's a sick fuck just like every other terrorist. Stick that "altruistic" lie in your ass. Terrorists commit terrorism because they are terrorists at the core. They are just looking for a reason.

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law? But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it? apnews.com/article/penc...

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Pam Bondi gets big mad at Janet Mills for accurately pointing out that there at most two trans athletes playing sports in Maine schools: "Shouldn't have said that, shouldn't have done this."

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

“I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s pathetic.” — This is how U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the continent of Europe in the now infamous group chat consisting of the Trump regime’s national security nitwits. Several of Trump's top national security…
