Why was the Pentagon calling Elon Musk from a Paris hotel to avert disaster in Ukraine? A billionaire with alleged drug use, contractor ties, and elite sway, his grip on US policy, as @ronanfarrow.bsky.social reported, was “brazen and expansive.” #ProudBlue

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it will revoke a federal policy that required hospitals to provide emergency abortions when necessary to stabilize a woman’s medical condition. We will be allowed to die.

This. So much. I totally agree with this guy.

Republicans are loving that we’re stuck talking in circles about Joe Biden. Democrats need to snap out of it and get laser-focused on what actually matters to folks right now: rising costs, a shaky economy, soaring rent, unaffordable groceries, and attacks on Medicaid.

So we have a head of FEMA who doesn’t know about hurricanes, a head of EPA who walked back his views on climate change, a head of HHS who says he can’t give medical advice, & a president who doesn’t know corruption is wrong. Are you feeling great again yet, America?

Lawrence: That is the budgetary cycle we've been in since the 1980s. Republican presidents increased the deficits. Democratic presidents from Bill Clinton forward come into office and reduce the deficits created by the Republican presidents.

This is the way

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 3 JUNE 2025 🌈PRIDE MONTH 🌈 Today Hegseth DISHONORED HARVEY MILK I Will Honor Him One of the GREATEST GAY ACTIVISTS ever Harvey " Mayor of the Castro Street " First gay man elected to hold office City Supervisor He was MURDERED for standing PROUD HERO

Pete Hegseth is a racist and a bigot. That is not "warrior spirit" its just fucking hate. www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-ne...

Today I saw the executive director of the American Enterprise Institute attempt to address a conference room full of leaders of state human services agencies and I have never seen a speaker more reviled. Big swaths of the audience (myself included) simply walked out because he was such an asshole.

Good

Wait WHAT?! People are bracing for storms and this man just found out the weather exists?! This is what happens when you hire vibes over qualifications.

We cannot let Trump hide behind his Big Budget Bill. We must fight each and every provision that threatens democracy and American lives.

Jonathan Joss is dead, shot after years of homophobic hate, arson, threats, and heartbreak that also took their dogs and their home. All because he loved his husband. People need to mind their own damn business. Love is not a crime. What the fuck is wrong with people

Saturday night 🔥🔥🔥 Malcolm Kenyatta killing it—torching Musk, dragging Joni Ernst, & calling out the DC clown show for what it is. He said it loud: that town is a hot mess! More of this energy, please🤩 @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social

This is horrific

What Lindsey Graham rooting for a boat to sink has to do with corruption.

"Maybe it's time for us to be a little bit meaner. Maybe it's time for us to be a little more fierce."

Maximo Londonio, a 42-year-old Washington State resident and dad of 3, who was born in the Philippines and came to the U.S. when he was 12, was detained at Seattle Tacoma International Airport on May 15. The lack of due process in the U.S. has raised alarms.

Watched Doctor Odyssey, Ryan Murphy’s unhinged telenovela at sea starring Pacey from Dawson’s Creek, Erin Carter’s husband, and Crockett from Miami Vice and with interiors to die for. It’s like The Love Boat got drunk on prosecco and decided to reinvent itself. Ridiculous. Approved 👍

If my choices are uniboob sports bra or Jane Russell Playtex rocket cones, I’m choosing uniboob. Every. Damn. Day. Why can’t DD+ bras just give a comfy, natural teardrop shape instead of a geometry problem or a vintage Hollywood silhouette?

Thank you, Senator Warnock.

I don’t care where you land politically, left, right, or somewhere out in the cornfield, but using a homemade flamethrower on people praying for hostages to come home is not activism. It’s barbaric. #Boulder #Antisemitism

Not expecting hard-hitting journalism from People but the Chrisleys? Really? Convicted wealthy financial criminals and we're supposed to feel bad because they couldn’t 'communicate regularly'? Boo fucking hoo. Stop treating them like movie stars and start treating them like the grifters they are.

Watching CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip again because I enjoy yelling at the television whenever possible. For the second day in a row, Shermichael Singleton is on doing his best impression of Cheetolini's most loyal lapdog with all the conviction of a man defending lukewarm chicken salad

"Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power ... With that done, power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals." trib.al/oyBvPkF

I love Eden Center. It's more than a strip mall. For Vietnamese Americans, it’s about soul food and survival. Now it’s caught in the crossfire of Trump’s tariffs. I hope the folks who voted for this are paying attention because when you hurt your own community to ‘win,’ nobody’s winning.

Shocked! SHOCKED, I say! The Tate brothers have been charged with rape, human trafficking, more? who could’ve ever guessed these misogynistic douche nozzles weren’t misunderstood life coaches?
