I really want off this ride and out of the simulation

a moratorium on the white house doing the absolute dumbest shit you could possibly imagine for just a few hours

BIG: DC Metro Police decided they had sufficient evidence to arrest sitting GOP Congressman and sent warrant request to USATTY's office. Acting USATTY Martin, who's been explicitly acting as Trump's personal attorney, ignored it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-b...

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Trump and Musk, between them, have 18 children (that we know about) with 7 women. Family values, GOP-style.

It’s really gone to his head, hasn’t it?

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

I wrote about the save women's sport movement's crowning achievement: An executive order that does little more than set a precedent for defunding women's sport at a moment of sweeping austerity measures.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

From the worker-owned collective Jude's Old Town comes an exciting new bar: Rosette. In keeping up with a demand for low- and no-alcoholic drinks, the sister location wants to be a place that focuses more on community. Read the full story by Jas Keimig here:

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

This isn't funny. It's children playing with a loaded gun.

Just me or did it get crazy warm today?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

I'm mystified by a lot of stuff in American politics, but I'm truly astonished that anyone bought the "we're just protecting women's sports" line from Republican transphobes.

It was still nice out tonight. Even with my bike rack getting stolen. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽. Goodnight

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Most well executed gatorade dump ever. This team is perfect.

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

Left too much time fo—*wrestles phone back from Lenny*

Good morning. ☕️

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Meta trying to keep the snowflake nazis safe. “Are you sure you want to call out their cruelty” SMDH @karaswisher.bsky.social

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Who says America isn't pedestrian-friendly?

UPDATE/SCOOP: After a day of speculation and rumors, USAID overseas workers have been officially put on leave and asked to return home within 30 days www.wired.com/story/chaos-...

Does Chuck Schumer know he is the highest ranking democrat in the senate?

my god it’s full of stars
