Treasured Public Lands Are on the Auction Block in Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

The first known detention by the US Marines in their recent Los Angeles deployment is of... a US Army veteran on his way to an office at the Department of Veteran Affairs building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

I’m going to need your help on this. This affects #AllOfUs. Forest Service R&D touches every community. Our homes. Our clean air. Our clean water. Our green canopy. Our verdant forestland. I expect @nffe-fsc.bsky.social to be on it, fighting for union brothers & sisters in R&D. Stay tuned ✊

Wow. Just wow.

It’s fine, he’s just got all your personal data. 💊💉

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...

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com: Elon Musk “apparently did not anticipate that it would be bad PR for the world’s richest man to take food and medicine from the world’s poorest children,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

Sunset on Friday 18th December 1908. I have cleaned-up this astounding autochrome photograph of twilight 117 years ago, taken in colour by Julien Gérardin. It is an original colour plate, not colourised.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

Devastating. The cowardice and the betrayal of an incomparable news brand.

Here's what "The Party of Fiscal Responsibility" plans for the deficit. No wonder Moody's downgraded the U.S. credit rating. #EconSky

Suozzi: They’re claiming the cuts will pay for themselves. But they won’t. And how do we know that? Because Republicans are putting an increase in the debt ceiling into this bill—allowing the president to borrow $4 trillion.

Why didn’t Welker push back on his statement that “we’ve had a massive expansion of government?” We’ve had the SAME NUMBER of government employees for over five decades. Corporate media, PUSH BACK WITH FACTS PLEASE.

It’s all a huge grift.

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

In a world where cruelty and greed get press, it’s good to see a billionaire lifting others with their vast wealth. “There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people.” We’re with you, Bill. Make every 💵 count. www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/t...

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

During the 2024 election, Elon Musk promised that his "DOGE" project would save the U.S. taxpayer over $2 trillion. But ever since, that number has mysteriously plummeted.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

‘The Fish Doorbell’ is a live stream from an underwater camera set up at a rarely opened canal lock in the Dutch city of Utrecht. If you see a fish, you can press the digital ‘doorbell’ notifying the lock operator that there are fish waiting to pass. visdeurbel.nl

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

If I was a person involved in exiling a two year old child with cancer to another country I would simply walk into the ocean and never return

Looks like someone isn’t going to meet the criteria for “fully successful” on his end of year review. That’s going to be tough to have in his eOPF when we RIF. 🥴

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Funding for investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against children; responding to reports of missing children; and preventing youth violence has been withdrawn indefinitely. How Kids Are Harmed by Trump’s Budget Cuts

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.
