Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate Parliamentarian, has flagged a growing list of provisions that would be prohibited under the Byrd Rule.

Interrupted my Parks and Rec hiatus from world events to check on world events and it’s like the most grotesque and stupid cartoon ever made and I don’t know what the fuck anyone is doing anymore. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Holyyyyyy....I am a tired exhausted puddle on the floor. What a day for @vrubinobs.bsky.social! This observatory is incredible. Highly, HIGHLY recommend joyscolling around Rubin's Skyviewer. I quite like this galaxy - which is your favorite? 🔭🧪 skyviewer.app

Will Stancil tried to spread some really serious rumors about me and then deleted as soon as I confronted him on it directly. Really bad guy, folks.

We have reason to believe the next round of cuts at NARA will further gut the presidential libraries. Who knows what the future holds for the national declassification center. All told, the public will have fewer opportunities to dictate what information the government releases. This isn't right.

Expressionist painter Gabriele Munter, Dahlien, 1941 #womensart

My brother in Christ, this looks like it will be one for the books... www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

And now for something completely different.. Peder Mork Monsted (1859-1941) Danish painter. "A Summer Walk at Himmeljerget" c.1937. Oil on canvas.

Despite his own privileged path to power, or perhaps because of it, the son of a Columbia University professor and a movie director is campaigning as a socialist intent on redistributing New York’s wealth.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

This appears to be absolutely antithetical to the mission of the National Archives and a thinly-veiled attempt by the Trump administration to give it the authority to decide who gets to conduct research. It’s also entirely unnecessary. You already need to make an appt to conduct research at NARA II

Simple reality now - the country is no longer buying what Trump is selling.

Sums it up pretty well.

Breaking news: Former New York state governor Andrew Cuomo has conceded to progressive rival Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for New York City’s next mayor www.ft.com/content/e4b8...

Antennae Galaxies collaboration: Ultra-Deep High Resolution View - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/r2XHAw

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

Zohran Mamdani stunned former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded the New York City mayoral primary race to the 33-year-old state lawmaker. trib.al/KfNebEQ

The MAGA info bubble imagines that a man who has intentionally killed millions of the poorest people in the world could ever be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. www.npr.org/2025/05/28/n...

Two things to keep in mind tonight: 1) Cuomo is an arrogant asshole. 2) NYC voters aren’t stupid.

I picked Heater up and held her to my chest for like 2 minutes on a whim and she purred the entire time. I’m convinced it’s because she’s happy about Zohran.

New York City voters are sweating out the heat as they cast ballots in the packed Democratic mayoral contest and other races. Polls suggest a tight contest between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani. Follow live. nyti.ms/4l5M8BF

This is exactly right!

How one Los Angeles complex organized to take on their landlord—and the city’s housing crisis. “I didn’t know how to explain it to her. I just said, ‘No, we aren’t going to move.'”

ICE just denied a FOIA request that covered 2 weeks worth of records on the grounds that it was too broad (it's not and I'll appeal). It's a good reminder that, even if a search requires extensive effort, that is not enough to claim a request is overly-broad and agencies must search in good faith.

The 6 majority justices on the Supreme Court are so corrupt, it's disgusting.

Health groups are mobilizing behind the scenes to preserve access for vaccines as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to upend the nation’s decades-old vaccine system, according to public health experts.

Sometimes, the headlines just write themselves!

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Hey Savanah, vete a la mierda! 🖕

This unhinged threat comes on the heels of RFK closing FOIA offices and instructing agency components to delete previously public information. Sure sounds like a guy who is committed to radical transparency !

New Economist/YouGov data shows little support for restricting access to COVID vaccines: today.yougov.com/politics/art...

This is wrong on several fronts. First off COVID isn't "over" by any stretch. It's still killing 300 Americans per *day*. And it has been proven that pregnant women *should* get the shot at it protects their babies from getting long COVID among many other benefits. www.acog.org/womens-healt...

We've gone from claiming Zelensky was too scared of me to even stay in Kiev, to me being too scared to meet him face to face.
