NASA begins cutting staff and eliminating three offices, marking the start of a mandated reduction in force at the space agency under Elon Musk’s directive. Gotta keep SpaceX afloat, right? Conflict of interest!

SEQUINS AND STARLIGHT by Margaret Porter, Gallica Press, out 5/6/25. I adored the author's second contemporary romance novel set in England, with ballet, burlesque, and theater, as well as love bruised by family concerns. Delightful! @margaretporter.bsky.social #gallicapress

BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals. Obviously, this is huge. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Sad.

Mr. Musk was not on the ballot on which I voted. As best I can tell, he has no security clearance, has not been vetted, nor has he been voted on by anyone in Congress. He should have no role here.

Trump's on the golf course, putting around while Zelenskyy has been living and surviving in a war zone - for the last 3 years.

President Zelensky will meet King Charles at Sandringham tomorrow. A spokesman for the King said the purpose of the meeting was "to annoy the fuck out of that dreadful orange shithead"

PERFECTLY SAID: Sen. Chris Murphy: “Trump is aligning with dictators to transition American into an oligarchy. If the U.S’s closest partner is Russia, then (it’s) easier for Trump, Musk, and their billionaire pals to steal from the American people.” Credit: @calltoactivism.bsky.social

I agree with a Mail headline 😲… i need a lie down

As the former queen of delayed gratification, I can attest that this is absolutely the case. In times like these, it’s even more important to seize the present moment and find some joy.

Acosta: He is, essentially, a part-time president who has delegated the presidency to Elon Musk. And the question folks are going to have to start asking—and I think they already are—is: What the hell did we vote for here?
