Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Stuck Inside My Mobile Home With the Tupelo Blues Again

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Between this and the ICE masks the cops are making it maybe clearer than they intend to make it that they're ashamed of being cops

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

The big reveal is that this - what you’re seeing right now - is in fact *exactly* how businesses are run; chaotically and at the whims of sociopaths who think they know everything, actually know nothing, and run away with a golden parachute to leave others to clean up their mess.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research. RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.” Total BS.

The Trump administration has terminated a federal advisory committee that issued guidance about preventing the spread of infections in health care facilities.

Thousands of transgender troops who have served our nation honorably will soon be purged from the military because of their identity. It is shameful that the Supreme Court’s majority won’t even explain why it greenlit this mass act of unconstitutional discrimination. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Oh really? I can think of some lawyers and judges who would also like to see that documentation.

Congressional leaders urged the White House to restore a website tracking federal spending, escalating a battle over spending powers.

Brilliant to eliminate Energy Star, a program that costs $32m but delivered $40b in annual savings. None other than the US chamber of commerce tried to save it as a model of business/government partnership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

I think we get used to stuff, like the proverbial frog in the pot, and lose track of how absolutely humiliating it is to have a belligerent, altered buffoon representing our nation and spewing gibberish on the world stage. But sitting him next to a normal person brings it home.

they are currently ignoring a supreme court decision and no one cares or is doing a single thing about it, its just so goddam infuriating

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk: -Is not accused of committing any crime -Is nonviolent -Was in this country legally -Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to -Has been locked up for six weeks

“What began with a chainsaw is ending in a whimper. Elon Musk’s looming exit from Washington brings the oddest chapter of Donald Trump’s presidency to an early close. By his own metrics, Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has failed.” My column. www.ft.com/content/0c6e...

It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

Trump is so committed to rooting out antisemites that he appointed one of them to be his US Attorney for DC.

I will never understand why Democrats haven’t made Curtis Yarvin a household name. He’s odious and genuinely represents a huge part of what Trump and his regime are trying to do.

We should understand this for what it is: an effort to build public consent for the president to ignore the Supreme Court. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...

At a Hands Off rally on Capitol Hill, former Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley slams the Trump regime for their gargantuan lies about Social Security: "We have to put the brakes on Elon Musk and Donald Trump trying to wreck its reputation and wreck its customer service so they can…

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

📣 #Georgia residents: Check your voter registration status: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ With Georgia election officials preparing to purge over 450,000 registered voters from the #voterregistration list this Summer – we want to make sure it's not YOU! #VotingRights #EqualAccessForAll

My big takeaway from tonight’s DC Bar president candidates Q&A is that Pam Bondi’s brother is exactly who you think he is, and it’s very important that DC lawyers cast our votes for @whatajlp.bsky.social by the 6/4 deadline. Search your email for “Vote Today in the D.C. Bar Election” and do it now.

don't forget that his mother's side of the family were documented nazi sympathizers, who moved to south africa specifically to enjoy apartheid and write screens about global Jewish conspiracies!

Shouldn’t this be a bigger story?!? Senator Mark Warner calls for probe into report that WH is pressuring countries to use Musk’s Starlink company in exchange for tariff relief. Watch: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Felon Enrique Tarrio (seditious conspiracy and obstruction of law enforcement), leader of the Proud Boys, thanked felon Donald Trump (deliberate falsification of business records), leader of the GOP, for pardoning him for his role in the attack on Congress and the police.

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

This story explains a LOT of things: ChatGPT appears to be rooting on sociopathic mental illness by validating every delusion of grandeur. It also explains, in part, the hype cycle around AI: rich people, addicted to praise, invented a Compliment Machine. www.garbageday.email/p/this-is-wh...

But it's not genocide, right?

CNN: The president said he doesn't know if everyone deserves due process and if he needs to uphold the Constitution. Does that concern you? REP. RICH McCORMICK: No.

New: Laura Loomer called for "a real blood & soil American" to replace an Indian-American member of Congress. The term "blood & soil" has been historically tied to the Nazis. www.mediamatters.org/laura-loomer...

The Washington Post has updated their story to reflect my reporting and added this correction at the bottom: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

Everyone and every institution with interests before the Trump administration should ask themselves, who would we rather be? Gretchen Whitmer, or Janet Mills? Paul Weiss, or Covington? www.offmessage.net/p/democratic...

None of this can be divorced from Trump’s history of not paying contractors (and getting them deported if they complain), stiffing lawyers, reneging on deals, and shivving clients. He simply thinks you’re a sucker if you ever pay for anything and extrapolates that to world trade with zero thought.

why it's almost as if the goal was never government efficiency or savings but a flimsy justification for the butchery of corporate oversight and the social safety net who could have predicted this, etc.

Thinking about getting into Major League Baseball just so I have something to do on this app beside endless doomscrolling.
