That’s funny, because during Matt Hall’s time as Speaker we’ve seen: 
❌ No hearings on FOIA
❌ No votes on FOIA
❌ No progress on FOIA Talk is cheap—just like his suits. #MIleg

In this moderately tense exchange lies the end of the American Constitution. Here, a chief officer of the executive branch tells a member of the body that has exclusive constitutional authority to allocate the American people's money that the executive branch has no intention to follow those laws.

THIS!

My wife’s grandmother has her very own US quarter as of this month #VeraRubin #STEM #DarkMatter

There's a special place in hell for those who hide behind scripture.

Please help this shelter if you can! "We are extremely overwhelmed with kittens right now and have very few staff members, even fewer volunteers and worst of all, not enough money for supplies. We desperately need kitten food, wet &dry. We also need KMR milk replacement"

Fake Christian Mike Johnson told a major lie this morning with Kristen Welker. Johnson claims his “decisions” are based on “The word of God” told a major whooper when he said “The debt will not be raised at all” under the Trump Budget. To damnable liar Johnson $2.7 trillion is nothing. #ProudBlue

Another Republican caught using bots to push their agenda. If you’ve felt like the internet has been flooded with hate and misinformation, it’s not just a feeling. It’s part of a pattern.

Humans of the upper Great Lakes! Good chance to view the aurora borealis tonight. If you live in a dark sky area check it out 🌊🌊

Finally watched the Joni Ernst videos and… I mean, I…. It’s just infuriating how much they think they can get away with. They truly believe the the voters are so beaten down and so disengaged and so hopeless that they can do That to you, and still draw a salary from your money

Russia wants to speak to the Manager.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

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...

Marco Rubio denies responsibility for any child deaths from the USAID shutdown. Yet the New York Times published photos of two who died when their 12¢/day medicine vanished — two of hundreds of thousands.

Dog smile core

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."

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

Penzeys coming through again 🤣🤣

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike. His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.

We finally caught Farnsworth, a local feral who’s in rough shape. Coordinating with Alleycats & Aristocats to get him the medical attention he so desperately needs Then we will see if he can be rehabilitated for adoption or if he will remain forever a spicy feral cat #BlueSkyCats

They are not considering the offer; they are laughing at it

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

“The fear to speak. In America?” CBS’ Scott Pelley asked. “If our government is—in Lincoln’s words—‘of the people, by the people and for the people’—then why are we afraid to speak?” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-s...

Good one from Andy Borowitz.

Trump has probably been sharing intelligence on Ukraine with Putin the entire time. Remember when aid to Ukraine was stopped and Russia suddenly got very precise with its strikes within the hour?

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

lol

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

Paul Weiss has become a symbol for the disgrace of capitulation to Trump. The once proud firm has been ridiculed by Trump, criticized by judges, and has started losing partners. Now the right-wing is looking to cash the check it wrote to pay off Trump. It may complain, but it will cave.

A nation so sexist we chose the worst man over the best woman. Twice. And we will spend generations paying for it with our economy, our national security, people's lives, and the planet. #RemoveTrump #GOPBetrayedAmerica Call your reps 202-224-3121

I haven’t watched even a second of CNN since Election Day. I don’t miss it at all. Not one bit. Anyone else out there like me?

West Point graduates this morning sat through a commencement speech about having courage given by a treasonous convicted felon who also happens to be a 5x draft dodging coward who has never served anyone but himself. Depraved, despicable and embarrassing.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The GOP was supposed to cut through the deficit. Instead they’re slashing our social safety net while ballooning our debt.

Trump has declared that he will add a 50% tariff on Europe on June 1st. The US heavily relies on an export economy and Europe is its biggest customer. This new move is part of an ongoing pattern of market manipulation and stock pump & dump by the Trump regime and its collaborators.

“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

Did you just say there are no Jammie Dodgers?
