finally a worthy Alien vs. Predator installment

a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

The mistake that this President keeps making is failing to understand that cooperation with the rest of the world is a key ingredient in the international competitiveness of American manufacturing. Destroy that cooperation and you destroy American competitiveness and jobs.

More on the weaponry redirected from Ukraine to the Middle East: the system in question is a proximity fuze with a radio-frequency sensor for APKWS rockets—used by Ukraine to down Russian drones. These fuzes are essential for detonation and were originally meant for the Vampire air defense system.

More tariffs, it must be Tuesday. TACO Tuesday.

This is honestly hard to watch.

this happened on wheel of fortune tonight

My parents’ 40th wedding anniversary today. I’d like to once again point out that the idea that autistic kids cause divorce is not only awful — it is also extremely made up.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

The 2018 steel tariffs just called to remind you that steel is produced by a tiny sliver of the economy, but used as an input by a much broader swathe of manufacturers. econofact.org/steel-tariff...

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

There’s your empty shelf. US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

Vance: the US space program didn't need immigrants. I... I just... wow

Straight up violation of the Civil Service Reform Act.

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

I was curious just how much time in prison people pardoned by Trump would otherwise have had to have served. So I added it up: more than 700 years, including 600 among Jan. 6 rioters. Gift link: wapo.st/3Hfd174

@megancnbc.bsky.social is a professional. She asked a question of the president that needed to be asked. It wasn't "nasty."

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’ve never respected a Harvard student more than right now www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Update: Treasury rates continue rising up, up, and away. These rates alone could add $500 billion more to annual interest costs within a decade (relative to the CBO baseline of 3.6% govt interest rates). Caution: Depressing charts to follow: 🧵

This is very very good www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Oh, Trump’s going to pardon the Chrisleys? I’m stunned. Who could h—

Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators.  Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K. Follow the money.

APOLLO: “Still no signs of a rebound in trade between China and the US.” [Slok]

Exclusive: New student visa interviews are on pause as Trump’s admin weighs requiring foreign students applying in the U.S. to undergo social media vetting.

NEW from me at MSNBC: The wildly irresponsible GOP tax bill: - Costs more than the 2017 TCJA, 2020 CARES Act and 2021 American Rescue Plan - Combined. - Is a special interest bonanza that won't help economy. - Spends $52B bailing out farmers. - Is already raising interest rates.

I implore people to think about what Memorial Day means, and then think about…this

I mean it. Find a Gold Star parent and ask them what they this of…this

medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.

Worth reading. Scott Pelley’s Commencement speech at Wake Forest commencement.news.wfu.edu/2020s/c2025/...

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.

This. But for everything

They’re afraid

OPT is the program that allows foreign students graduating with STEM degrees stay and work for up to three years. Because of the oversubscribed H-1B lottery, OPT is one of the main ways that foreign students manage to transition to jobs in the US. Ending it would destroy a major STEM pipeline.
