The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Quick. Somebody tell Trump that the best way to own Elon is to restore all research grants and double NSF funding.

What she said.

Remember when Trump gave Elon access to ALL of the government’s data?

Ah, the golden age.

Totally not fascist.

@linconspirators.bsky.social another auction item?? Lol

Fox News left out the 10 million people who lose their health insurance and the $2 trillion tacked onto the deficit… and the part where all of this is to pay for rich people and big corporations’ tax cuts

That's why.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Led my first tour for Baltimore Heritage today at Greenmount Cemetery with a focus on John Wilkes Booth and conspirators of the Lincoln Assassination! It twas a beautiful day in #Baltimore.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States. But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.

Dice made from antlers, ancient combs and an intact Roman-era pot were among the discoveries during a recent excavation in north Dublin, Ireland.

Plain and simple….

April 1st all FOIA staff at FDA were RIF’d with end date of June 2, 2025. I retired. As of TODAY, all staff back to work full time having had their RIF QUIETLY rescinded. Why? FDA was getting sued because FOIA wasn’t getting done. 1 month admin leave w/work piling up and terrible stress on staff.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

In the 19th century, a New Orleans doctor sent the skulls of 19 Black Americans to a doctor in Germany, where they were used as part of now discredited racial science. The remains were recently returned to the city, where they will be laid to rest on Saturday.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, fraternal twin infants, one boy and one girl, were buried facing each other in a cemetery in Croatia. It's unclear why the twins died, but lead poisoning may have played a role.

RFKJr. : “Don’t trust my Medical advice. Do your own research” CDC: “Ok!” #RemoveRFK

Amid reports of a new Covid-19 subvariant spreading in several US states, the CDC on Friday did not change its guidance on receiving vaccines against the coronavirus, contradicting a controversial recent announcement from the nation's top health official. www.rawstory.com/defiance/

Breaking News: The CDC kept Covid shots on an updated vaccination schedule for children, days after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they would be taken off.

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...

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

decades-long manhunt finally ends

The internet is so quick

In 2010,archaeologists excavating the World Trade Center site made an extraordinary discovery:the remains of an 18th-century wooden gunboat buried deep beneath Manhattan’s historic landfill.It is now being reconstructed for permanent display at the New York State Museum gothamist.com/news/a-revol...
