As summer begins, Trump cuts means it’s unclear the US government has anyone ready to respond to hurricanes or enough weather forecasters to warn of tornadoes, wildland firefighters to fire forest fires, or air traffic controllers to keep planes flying safely. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/prepare-fo...

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Perfect.

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.

I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.

If you can’t spare a room, fill a pillar. #booksky #books #design #writingcommunity

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The man on the left is defending his nation's capital. The man on the right plotted an attack on his.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

When will/can media start reporting that statements that there are no cuts to Medicaid are lies? This is demonstrably false, but the media is happy to continue to be stenographers for these lies.

Shout it from the rooftops!

I have no faith in any GOP Senator. Not a one. They will cave. And if they don’t, I will be delighted to be wrong. But I’m not.

I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

The little ink drop was crying, because his mother was in the pen and he didn't know how long the sentence would be. Thank you very much. I'll leave quietly.

ICYMI — federal agents cuffed an @RepJerryNadler aide inside his congressional office, claiming they were “conducting a security check” The guardrails are off. More: www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

A man threw Molotov cocktails at people in Boulder, Colorado? Including children? People have lost done their damn minds. Absolutely nothing warrants that kind of behavior.

New post: Two Iowa jurists are among 138 retired federal and state judges who signed on to a brief arguing that the indictment of a Wisconsin judge "represents an extraordinary and direct assault on the independence of the entire judicial system.” www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/05/31/f...

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

Happy Caturday, friends!

‘Border security’ is an imaginary problem use to justify unjustifiable things.

I'd much rather be scammed by some poor mom trying to feed her kids than the richest man in the world trying to add to his own wealth, but maybe I'm a sap.

This is EXACTLY who you voted for.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

That’s what someone on ketamine would say

It makes me feel sick knowing so many Americans believe him

I know I should take this seriously but this ICE tweet genuinely made me laugh.
