The incompetence is off the charts.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

SEE YOU JUNE 14th!!!! NO KINGS!

I hope U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy does hold every single person involved in the illegal deportation of people to South Sudan against his injunction in contempt. These judges need to grow spines and hold people accountable.

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

“.. ‘We need to do some rewriting” and more analytic work “so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS,’ Joe Kent, the chief of staff to Ms. Gabbard, wrote in an email to a group of intelligence officials on April 3 ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

From Target to Walmart, retailers are fighting two battles at once: a financial battle to keep costs low in the face of new tariffs, and a political one to avoid the president's wrath.

I’m only surprised it took this long under this administration!

So much truth here!

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Jake Tapper is such a sleazy, slithering little shit goblin. I swear on the love of all things fuck, I'm gonna do everything I can to exploit his terminal decline for profit if he ever gets diagnosed with cancer. Fuck that overpaid pompous prick and his shitty ghost written book.

Yesterday: Sec Rubio claimed the US isn’t “withdrawing from the world”. Also yesterday: China pledges $500m to WHO, helping to cover the budget gap from US withdrawal. As the US cedes diplomatic goodwill built over decades of humanitarian work abroad, other countries will quickly fill the void.

The body positivity movement was “cringe” so now I’m being advertised corseted swimwear. WHY ARE WE CORSETING OURSELVES TO SWIM oh my god we’ve lost the plot so badly

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

So MAHA.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

35 years ago, @cnn.com was a respected news organization.

NEGUSE: Why didn't you put 'nationwide' in this language? JORDAN: Well, we can look at the language NEGUSE: It's 6am! You're voting on this thing in like 10 hours. What are we talking about?

Opening doors while firing the people behind them isn’t progress — it’s a PR stunt.

True Story...

Katherine Clark: "At the end of the day, it is denial of healthcare for women in this country. And at the same time, we have a White House lamenting, 'Why aren't women having children? Maybe we'll give them $5k' ... the American family is put last."
