🚨 @housedemocrats.bsky.social offered multiple amendments to the GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill," which would've blocked tax cuts to multi-millionaires and billionaires at the expense of workers and the middle class. Republicans rejected each amendment. WATCH:

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

No one is surprised he has the cleavage to pull this off. We’re all just grateful he went with full length. Happy #TacoTuesday #TACOTrump

Parts of the state woke up Tuesday to a thick blanket of haze from the Canadian wildfires. Air quality readings were in the “red” and “purple” categories — meaning “unhealthy” and “very unhealthy” — across most of eastern Minnesota, including Duluth, the Twin Cities, St. Cloud and Mankato.

People who say DYOR should do their own damn research and people who harp on personal responsibility should look in the mirror. ( Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson). Hypocrisy seems to be baked in to conservative/libertarian philosophies.

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) experienced more than 300 delays over the Memorial Day weekend, as the unofficial summer air travel season began in full swing. According to flight tracking data, disruptions started as early as Friday, with Saturday seeing the highest number of delays.

Much appreciation to my thoughtful friends @misslizzy.bsky.social & @imnotmerida.com 💜

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

This sums up what the trump regime is trying to do by attacking higher education: Vance told the National Conservatism Conference that “we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.”
