This headline is hilarious because Israel of course originally backed Hamas to bolster opposition to the PLO. youtu.be/o7grSsuFSS0?...

It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/n...

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...

The bigger the lie, the louder she gets...

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Interesting post on r/dataisbeautiful. www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeau...

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Priorities.

Today May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. Statements like this are inflammatory, disrespectful and flat out lies. Not only did you betray law enforcement, but you sided with people who attacked us. You don't support law enforcement, you are are a criminal.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

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.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

“The controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.” $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...

Ah, but of course. #OligarchEra 🤡 @washingtonpost.com @jeffstein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Sesame Street had him pegged back in 1988.

A reminder that debating Stephen Miller — who is not a lawyer and is not making legal arguments, he is spouting propaganda — is a win for him.

the fifth and fourteenth amendments would like a word

This was good. Watch it. www.pbs.org/independentl... #PBS #Library #Documentary

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

First repot of year completed. Happy May 1st. #cactus #cacti #Echinopsis #Spring #mayday

It’s now part of the Congressional record. What a country, @parkerbutler.bsky.social 🇺🇸

Just incredible

🚨BREAKING: Missouri Supreme Court REJECTS election challenge to Proposition A, the minimum wage and sick leave bill approved by voters in November. A victory for the Jobs with Justice Ballot Fund and the voters of Missouri.

National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day is on April 30. To bring awareness to the day, the Up First newsletter is sharing some stories from readers about how their pet has impacted their lives.

Don't forget: #IndieBookstoreDay is tomorrow.

'He was the son of Juliane Gallina, who was appointed the deputy director for digital innovation at the CIA in February 2024.' (by Burns) CIA didn't know she had a son there?? And if they did, she has no conflicted loyalties?? wtf 🙄 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ed Martin's latest target: Wikipedia. The interim U.S. attorney and pro-Trump bulldog has sent a letter seeming to threaten the Wikimedia Foundation's tax-exempt status over allegations that it is "spreading propaganda." Our story: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration. This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power. It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.
