Andrew Cuomo has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

NEW from me for @forbes.com: Zohran Mamdani is neck and neck in the polls with Andrew Cuomo, but not so much in terms of his finances. Here's Forbes' take on his net worth as Election Day begins to wrap up: www.forbes.com/sites/kylemu...

This is really really bad

🚨 SUSAN COLLINS IS CONCERNED 🚨

Trump take bunker busters, leave bunker?

With the largest voluntary transfer of private capital in modern history underway, here are the countries winning and losing the wealth migration game.

Trump’s use of Truth Social as a diplomatic hotline doesn’t seem to be helping the stock price too much (also announced a stock buyback yesterday).

The State Dept’s language is relatively low key, similar to a Level 2 travel advisory, which is what is currently in place for France, Germany, Italy and other major European countries. For @forbes.com. www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

This statement is going to age like milk

We have a president who makes foreign policy announcements by post, and that’s how the press finds out. Now do Israel–Gaza.

It’s outrageous that a masked ICE thug can punch a man in the face and escape consequences anonymously. That’s not America. America is for the thug cop to be identified and THEN escape all significant consequences for lawless brutality after a brief period of paid leave bsky.app/profile/news...

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

BREAKING: The president made the announcement on social media, but officials in Israel and Iran have yet to announce it for themselves. His post came hours after Iran launched on attack on a U.S. base in Qatar.

NYT reports Iran govt may have moved enriched uranium before strikes precisely because of Trump’s repeated public threats www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

“.. Representatives for Tesla, the Austin Police Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment ..” @bloomberg.com $TSLA www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

With the United States watching secret military attacks in Iran, it’s a good thing that American military communications are so private and secure.

its unreal that people really use AI systems when this is LITERALLY at the bottom of the screen where you can turn on Gemini? Like? We're so fucking cooked.

For the sake of comparison, 9% of Americans approve of the Black Plague.

Do yourself a favor and follow the BBC’s coverage of Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran. Unlike corporate media in the U.S., which are swallowing Trump & Co.’s lies whole, the BBC are assessing just how reckless and potentially catastrophic Trump’s call was.

Holy shit did he call this.

The ongoing thuggery of the US healthcare medical insurance system www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... #MedSky

Ah yes a stunning* demonstration of presidential power *Unconstitutional

“Wherever a journalist is silenced, the democratic soul of a country is weakened. Freedom of the press is an inalienable common good. Those who conscientiously exercise this vocation cannot see their voices silenced by petty interests or fear of the truth.”

Russia in a nutshell - *every* aspect of society is rotten with corruption and based on lies.

A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT FROG.” He has already made at least one run on the stove. A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

In my experience in the work force — and this is admittedly subjective! — people like days off from work.

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Ever since Tim McVeigh, US leaders have pretended all this right-wing domestic terrorism is made up of “lone wolves." They’re not. They’re foot soldiers. Violence like the Minnesota shooting is what Trump wants—he wants an opposition too scared to stop him. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-s-no...

Traditional and indie authors are flooding #WritersTok with videos of them editing their manuscripts to refute accusations of generative AI use—and bring readers into their very human process.

A federal judge blocked President Trump’s “two sexes” executive order that banned the gender-neutral X sex marker from U.S. passports.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

from decades of experience I can tell you unequivocally that anytime a Republican or Libertarian says they are "removing regulatory uncertainty that hinders innovation" you're about to get fucked

If you live in the United States, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. government created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. — @djrothkopf.bsky.social

Bargain-hunting Americans are heading to Argentina, thanks to a weak Argentine peso that makes everything seem 31% cheaper than last year.
