rarely has there been a purer example of human progress created by someone repeatedly pressing a button labeled “DO NOT TOUCH”

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

The moment in week one where he ordered a mass release of water into farmland was the moment it really sunk in what the death of expertise looks like.

Friday night Tequila tweet: If you don’t treat the least among you with love and respect, then respectfully, fuck you. Take care of those who don’t have what you have.

my god i'm hard to shock but holy fuck

A creepy unhinged white supremacist like Stephen Miller telling everyone that their children will literally be indoctrinated to worship MAGA and instructing people what their children will be taught should terrify everyone.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

John Fetterman has changed drastically, and I don't mean just his political views. It's a problem the Democratic party can't ignore. The 5 most shocking bombhells from The Intelligencer's report on Fetterman. www.mediaite.com/news/5-most-...

Terrifying Read this 👇👇 These folks are just evil!

ICE targeted a UFW organizer in Washington State, now they're targeting union organizers in NYS. If the labor movement doesn't see this as an existential threat, I don't know what to say.

Indoctrination.

If you're breaking the law, lining your own pockets, and calling it "public service" — the Amendment I introduced in the Oversight Committee has your name on it. No more taxpayer-funded grift. Not for Trump. Not for Elon. Not for anyone. The GOP once again blocked it.

…And the number “whatever your life expectancy is dropping to after my buddy Bobby lets all that chalk back into spoiled milk”

This is torture

Best sign from yesterday.

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.

The acting U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., has sent letters to several leading medical journals asking for information about their editorial practices.

Did you think we wouldn’t notice, Fox?

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

Remember, those who claim to be enraged that an almost imperceptible amount of federal dollars goes to NPR and PBS are currently before the Supreme Court demanding that your taxpayer money be spent to fund a Christian school in Oklahoma that definitionally trafficks in propaganda

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

BREAKING: The Trump administration confirms it has reached a settlement in principle with the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Jan. 6 rioter who was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer while trying to enter the House chamber.

Actual state media watch

Musk and SpaceX are among the biggest winners in Trump’s 2026 spending plan. Trump is delivering on Musk’s wish list at both NASA and the Pentagon, reshaping federal space spending to funnel billions of dollars in new business directly to him.

Seems like we have bigger foreign policy priorities than attempting to interfere with domestic politics in Germany.

The wealthiest man in the world, with no business or legal right to do so, turned loose his hackers and accessed every U.S. citizen's private records. Thus far, he has been unscathed. He's building the largest data center in the world. Do you not think his accessing of our private records, and 1/6

"Trump has always been an ignoramus who masks his intellectual shortcomings with bombast and declarations of his own brilliance, but his rambling nonsensical responses in these latest interviews should set off alarms." — @playtyperguy.com

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Oh, wow. Border agents posted at Tucson maternity ward to quickly deport migrant mom

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

Dear World, Don’t visit us unless you absolutely have to. This is a dreadful situation. We’re all embarrassed and disgusted. Sincerely, Decent Americans

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

Where’s the House Oversight Committee???

A sure sign of dementia is seeing things that do not exist or are not there. Nowhere in this entire country is any of this happening. The only money pouring in is what will be pouring out of your pockets to pay for anything.

Donald Trump has just sent Republicans in Congress a budget proposal that cuts nearly everything, and if they don’t like it, he says he’ll withhold cash that they approve. He is setting up a constitutional crisis.

“Where does the ‘Abolish ICE’ movement go to get its apology?” asked Bulwark’s Bill Kristol, an anti-Trump Republican who seems to understand the zeitgeist better than most Democrats. The reality is that America thrived during its first 227 years when neither ICE nor its gulag archipelago existed."

Quite the compliment coming from one of my favorite accounts on this platform. Thanks for all you do, Rick! From your fan, Mar🐫

"Pentagon officials say SpaceX is considered likely to be the top recipient of this burst of new spending, which could generate billions of dollars in new contracts for the company."

BREAKING: Trump has unveiled his proposed budget. ➡️$163 billion in cuts to health care, child care, education, housing, research, clean energy, food banks, and more ➡️$1 trillion for defense and homeland security

Trump's executive order to gut funding for public media (including NPR and PBS) will cut off news sources for millions. That’s exactly what he wants: to exert even more control over the information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

"When [DOJ] lifted a school desegregation order in Louisiana this week, officials called its continued existence a 'historical wrong' and suggested that others dating to the Civil Rights Movement should be reconsidered." They said desegregation was a "historical wrong." www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/u...

Marco Rubio is going after people who are living here legally and peacefully, who are not a danger to America or our foreign policy interests. He has strayed so far from who we are as Americans. He’s an embarrassment to the country.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.
