Karoline Leavitt is clearly making this stuff up as she goes.

Good morning 💙💛

👏😀 Senator Chris Murphy speaking out against Kristi Noem & telling it to her like it is, the blunt & much needed truth. #Americans #Constitution #ConstitutionalRights

My colleagues who knew Tom Robbins best wrote this tribute, which much like Tom, is searing, inspiring, enlivening and delightful. As journalism & journalists are under attack, you need look no further than Tom's body of work to understand the power of reporting. www.thecity.nyc/2025/05/28/r...

Long live Sesame Street! 🥹 Had so much fun at the Sesame Workshop gala! Thank you, with all of my heart, for your commitment to coming together to help children grow smarter, stronger, kinder ✨

Our favorite comment from yesterday that’s still stuck in our heads: The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not taco ‘bout Fight Club. 🌮🥊

Trump is going to destroy the global economy again to prove he isn't a wuss

Donald chickened out of a second debate with VP Harris when she sliced, diced, and mopped the floor with him in the first. "Journalists" don't want to talk about that debate, only the first few minutes of one when Joe Biden was tired and had a cold and didn't sound good.

Some free thoughts on how to behave... open.substack.com/pub/davidaar...

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Behind its Georgian facade, the Manor at Hemingford Grey dates from c. 1130, making it one of the oldest continually inhabited houses in Britain. Restored after WWII by author Lucy M Boston, it has beautiful gardens and is open to visitors in the summer. @greenknowemanor.bsky.social #MedievalMonday

"Tacitus would probably have agreed that Macaulay and Trevelyan were imitating the Roman empire. He definitely wouldn’t have meant that as a compliment." @rhigarthjones.bsky.social on how the west has learned all the wrong lessons from Rome

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/a-r... Smart Americans. Remember that Canada is also very nice and a lot closer. I’ve head that the BC government are recruiting American nurses. Apparently, the response has been overwhelming.

Frank Brangwyn was an apprentice to William Morris from 1882 to 1884 and, like Morris, thought an artist's mission was to paint life. He was a polymath painting murals, making prints and designing furniture, textiles, stained glass, and ceramics. 'The Swans,' is from 1921.

"The most obvious explanation for Harris’ loss, the one the media ignores for fear of sacrificing eyeballs (and more importantly, dollars), is that tens of millions of American voters are bigoted and/or politically illiterate."

"There is a profound failure in our media.... crimes against humanity are ignored until filtered through Trump’s theatrics... The media must stop treating Trump’s words as fact in the absence of action."

"The head of the little-known private group set to take over Gaza aid deliveries has resigned, saying the US and Israeli-backed plan would not be able to adhere to humanitarian principles." www.ft.com/content/54ec...

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!

This is a terrific list www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/alan-ye... (Now just need to find them. His Imagine with Armando Ianucci on Iplayer is also great.)

💯

It definitely made sense for the stable genius to start a trade war with Canada and talk about making them our 51st state right before he rolled out a grand plan for a Golden Dome missile defense system that requires the cooperation and help of Canada. Master strategist.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

Bloody love Terry Hall. Gone far too soon 😿 #TOTP
