From @nytopinion.nytimes.com: Elon Musk “apparently did not anticipate that it would be bad PR for the world’s richest man to take food and medicine from the world’s poorest children,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

“I’m a transgender service member and today was my last day in uniform. After 11 years, eight months and 1 day I’m taking the uniform off for good. I will always be yours bc this rank, these skills, this name will always be me.” ~Technical Sargent Altesse Aurum #TransInMilitary 🫡 🏳️‍⚧️ @altessaurum

Hell to the yes

There should be Congressional hearings about RFK Jr’s MAHA report. Not only is this shoddy work, but apparently he and his staffers couldn’t be bothered to write it properly and instead published ChatGPT output. www.notus.org/health-scien...

I'm dizzy. In the same article! "Johnson fancies himself a “numbers guy.” A few paragraphs later... "More broadly, Johnson claims that balancing the budget and reducing the federal deficit is his No. 1 concern. But he’s committed to maintaining historic tax cuts for the super rich.

He's as nutty as a fruitcake these days.

“It will take years to rebuild the federal government from this assault. And as Will Royce pointed out recently at the Prospect, he should still be assumed to be running DOGE, given the fact that most of his personal flunkies are still in charge of it.”

Trump didn’t save China. He rattled markets, punished American businesses, drove up prices, and then folded the second it hurt his poll numbers. Now he’s mad they didn’t honor a “deal” he made up in a press release. His tantrums are getting old.

He Needs To Be Prosecuted For The Laws He Has Broken….

The thing is, Trump was very publicly committing potential crimes and bragging about them and all but rubbing it in our faces, and there's nothing wrong with people who aspire to lead civil society promising to put a stop to that sort of crap. www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

Trump is so lost in his own web of lies, he even admitted that China played him this morning.

I think it’s time to start calling it the Crack House.

“… Musk is one of the most malignant people ever to hold a position of influence in American politics. His actions, without exaggeration, have devastated the health and security of American society and directly caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people all over the world …”

JD Vance’s campaign plane carried anti-immigrant rhetoric. Now it carries shackled deportees https://www.dailykos.com/story/2025/5/30/2324997/-JD-Vance-s-campaign-plane-carried-anti-immigrant-rhetoric-Now-it-carries-shackled-deportees?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=

What a beautiful soul! Look at that smile. Her skin is to die for. She is glowing. I wish her much success in her next chapter. I am excited for her.

Look what Sen. Daines said about SNAP and Medicaid when we last lined up outside his Bozeman office in April. Better join us tomorrow to make sure he sticks with this pledge! Friday, 1 pm, details + RSVP in the replies. See you there!

So the richest person in the world was off his tits on ketamine and ecstasy while he was taking food and medicine away from the poorest people in the world...? Thousands of whom have consequently died...? Cool cool

Nebraska Rep. Mike Flood was booed relentlessly at his own town hall as he admitted to a roomful of constituents he'd simply not read some parts of Trump’s big, beautiful budget bill. “You voted for all of it!” someone shouted. https://trib.al/T79iBHV

Honest Q re the “Gaza GFM” drama: Let’s assume that a given account is legit & $ donated to it really does go to a starving Gaza resident, regardless of the convoluted route it takes to get to them. My Q is: How does that actually help them? They can’t eat the money.

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

If Barack Obama or Joe Biden had proposed this, the GOP would be in the streets with pitchforks and torches. I guess the new "conservative" position is, "I want the state to know everything about me at all times." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

Does your boss have unrealistic expectations? Constantly firing people you depend on to do your job? This is why they're arresting legal immigrants. www.rawstory.com/ice-dhs-lead...

"...they know at some point Donald Trump's not going to be on the ballot, and those senators are going to have to face voters and say, 'Hey, I took this stupid vote and raised prices on you, and Donald Trump's not going to be there to defend me.'" www.rawstory.com/trump-tariff...

Pope Leo’s first two papal appointments in America being immigrants is quite the message to send, given Trump and the political climate. Good for him.

Really crucial point in the ruling against Trump's tariffs: The court basically said Trump doesn't have the power to invent emergencies out of thin air. The declaration of fake emergencies is central to Trump's abuses. See this exchange with @ilyasomin.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1958...
