"'I say if you’re native born, an immigrant or a Tallahassee politician, if you break the law, we’re coming for you. That means if you steal $10 million from the Medicaid program, we’re going to investigate you,' Jolly tells me."

Pretty amusing, if it weren't so frigging sad.

Trump the Chump.

Lindsey is just a big baby, so there’s that as well.

Carl Sagan….. He would be so horrified now….. #FuckMaga #fucktrump

It's really important that we keep in mind the danger that exists right now to the First Amendment. It's always in danger, of course, but rarely as much as it is right now.

This is very nancy mace www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

“The tariffs don’t do anything. They’re not bringing countries to the negotiating table.” https://trib.al/GifLk1H

It’s … weirdly reassuring to know the Russians think he’s as idiotic as we do.

Many people are saying: Trump is a terrible dealmaker.

Kennedy’s MAHA movement is fracturing. The vaccine hardliners are angry. And the health influencers are too bland for the base. Read the latest False Flag from @willsommer.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/maha-disar...

NEW: Congressman Glenn Ivey went to El Salvador over the weekend to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He spoke with @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social about why and what happened when he was rebuffed. www.thebulwark.com/p/democratic...

The Bulwark is solid. My main source of timely pods and articles, staunch Never Trumpers, Interesting and worth the time & money. As a former R, I appreciate the staff's take (mostly).

Let's face it folks, if everything's an emergency, nothing's an emergency. I don't know about you, but I'm a hell of a lot more worried about the situation in commercial Aviation now with the FAA unable to find people to staff control Towers. At the least this is urgent

He is stupid. He is incompetent. He is cruel. He is sinister. And people will die because of what he’s done. https://trib.al/zLgPMih

BBB both grows the deficit and cuts food for poor kids

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

The fact that we’ve just collectively decided to ***ignore*** this is insane

NOBODY WANTS APPLE BUILDING IPHONES HERE YOU IGNORANT FAT TODDLER. Good God you exhausting sloppy goon

Biden was able to pursue another run out of Democratic deference, careerism, and complacency. There was no spell he cast over the party, nothing he himself did to stupefy and paralyze its leaders. https://trib.al/auRT2lT

2025 is also the 250th anniversary of the US Navy and the US Marine Corps - but their founding dates don't coincide with El Jefe Maximo's birthday party, so no parade for them.

It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert

I am on a grueling deadline right now, but Lily is insisting that I take a kitty cuddle break

Honestly, I don't think it's Trump driving this so much as people around Trump who hate elite institutions because they wish they were part of those elite institutions.

The Trumper obsession with Harvard is a cringe-inducing drama around status envy.

I wrote about the shooting at the Jewish museum in DC, the stories people tell to justify anti-Semitism, and the choice that America faces in this moment. Gift link:

$880 billion in proposed Medicaid cuts—in order to extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts for corporations & billionaires—are making some GOP members, actually beholden to their constituents, very nervous.

Excuse me, but it seems his only principles are (1) lowering his own taxes, (2) protecting his pollute-for-free business model (violating every principle of economics and morality) and (3) corrupting democracy with dark money. Some “principles.”

What do I have as a finalist in the 2025 Locus Awards? Nothing! But lots of friends and peers are finalists and that's just as good. Congrats to them! locusmag.com/2025/05/2025...

The reinvention of a radical insurrectionist as martyr-hero is quite literally fascism. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) has the best, most effective, ballsiest, realest public statement I have seen in the Trump era. It's about President Trump's proposal to change the name of Veterans Day. And it's a single word. www.dav.org/learn-more/n...

Both Rubio's tweet, and the response, are remarkable artifacts. You have a Secretary of State tweeting right wing talking points to defend Neo Nazis, and the country where Nazis originated telling him to sod off.

It's not looking good for the tariff king, is it? Never mind the rest of us.

Why, bless his heart.
