Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup... This is disgusting.

www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... "Trump seems to know little, and he has grown increasingly incoherent and rambling, often wholly detached from reality."

My favorite song. #Cubs

I read nearly 200 responses from readers about RFK Jr. People are scared and mad -- and they're also kinda puzzled. What he says is completely out of step with science -- and with growing awareness of the need to understand and support autistic people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hey, is life imprisonment with no chance of parole a normal sentence for crossing the border illegally or

We’re counting on you, Madagascar. 🇲🇬

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

“…also advances a vision of the US as a bunker in its own right, one in which ICE agents stalk streets, workplaces & campuses, disappearing those deemed enemies of US policy/interests. The bunkered nation lies at the heart of MAGA agenda & of end times fascism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Failing to understand the long-term consequences of critical developments during the past half century have brought us to where we are. A failure to imagine the worst case outcomes we are currently facing will make them far more likely. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

The Golden Age

“After centuries of intellectual progress, Americans must face a terrible question,” the physicist Alan Lightman writes. “Are we now descending from light into dark?” https://theatln.tc/GonKaWSv

Don’t forget your gas mask when you take the fam to Yosemite!

His aide should be fired too

Mr. Ceesay is a 63-year old man thrown into ICE detention with no warning in February after 14 years of check-ins — where he had a heart attack soon after. Judge Vilardo uses his case to emphasize WHY due process matters, even if deportation is the outcome. It's worth reading this whole thing.

"The introduction of this extreme bill in North Dakota was not an isolated incident. This year alone, at least 14 other so-called “abortion abolition” bills have already been introduced in a dozen other states." (@jessicavalenti.bsky.social has been red-flagging this - this is just the beginning.)

"The official accused Harvard of “serious failures” in four areas: antisemitism, racial discrimination, abandonment of rigor and viewpoint diversity." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article...

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear U.S. residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?  Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

I hate these fucking people! There is no justification for ending this program. None! www.npr.org/2025/05/05/n...

Five million Americans to get yet another surprise economic gift from the Trump presidency starting today: www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

“Why is Donald Trump’s second term so much more dangerous than his first? There are several reasons, but here are two. The first: Trump is worse than he was eight years ago. The second: Those around him now are worse than those around him then.” www.thebulwark.com/p/our-megalo...

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

The Trump budget in one chart: Cut programs that help families and make America a leader of the world, pour money into kidnapping grad students and deporting toddlers.

Big things happening this week in the Abrego Garcia case. - By today, DOJ must "answer and respond to" outstanding discovery requests - By Wednesday, Plaintiffs seek two additional depositions - By Thursday, DOJ must respond to that request - By Friday, the first round of depositions are completed

JUST IN: ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, which exposes the fatal consequences of abortion bans, has won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. This is the second consecutive year we’ve been awarded this distinction and our eighth Pulitzer: www.propublica.org/series/life-...

This is what the start of an economic collapse looks like. #BlameTrump

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

Maybe democratic leaders need to make it clear now: if you’re a nation that engaged in absolute corruption with the Trump family, you will absolutely pay a price when he is out of office. Our people deserve better

www.wired.com/story/fema-e... I'm sure this will work just...fine, especially with reduced resources and personnel.

Heartless and cruel.

Fucking disgusting (reaction to Ashley Babbitt's family getting go p0ppp

Louder for the voters in the back!

The former White House adviser who pushed malaria drugs as a COVID treatment has been tapped to join the HHS pandemic response team.

Today, U.S. Department of Education will resume collecting on defaulted student loans. It sounds hard to believe, but college used to be free. This is the real story behind skyrocketing student debt. (Spoiler: It has a lot to do with Ronald Reagan)

meidasnews.com/news/what-tr... Anyone want to use NBC for $20 billion for the "misleading" interview?

I am not often quoted in @nytimes.com DealBook, but I hope the business community is listening.

the president’s policies will carpet bomb the economy and ruin millions of lives but don’t worry, he and his failchildren will come away from everything as rich as ever

"A long-running nationwide brainwashing campaign, conducted in plain sight, now comes to its deadly culmination. The predictable consequence—reviving a preventable childhood disease in the U.S.—is at hand." www.scientificamerican.com/article/meas...

From last night's @semafor.com media newsletter: At the last minute, Paramount delayed and altered an initiative it was working on via the Daily Show to help prospective candidates run for local office. The company did not want any ties to liberal groups amid ongoing FCC scrutiny...

If you're not familiar with Carl Schmitt & Leo Strauss--or, in the present, Vermeule & Vought--this is a good quick intro to the vision now fueling Trumpism--the movement, not the man. If you're telling yourself it's all just knucklehead stumbling, this is some bad news you should contend with.
