Elon, time to leave politics for good.

Has JD Vance said "Thank You" yet? #ukrainehascards

This is really bad.

This is a brilliant piece, well worth your time!

"We learned how incredibly easy it can be to be wiped off the grid, physically and digitally." #Florida residents who survived last year's 3 hurricanes offer advice for this year. www.tampabay.com/news/weather... via @maxchesnes.bsky.social

"leaving" a special government employee role due to a time limit does not mean "leaving" the Trump administration.... as I've been saying repeatedly here and in my coverage of Musk.

As I said, Nicole Malliotakis was the deciding vote to cut Medicaid for 52,000 of her own constituents in #NY11. Who is the one lying to their constituents?

"This is American corruption on the scale of a post-Soviet republic or a post-colonial African dictatorship.’ That’s where we begin this week.”

There’s another faith-led Moral Mondays protest in front of SCOTUS right now — this one noticeably larger than in weeks past. The march from a church to SCOTUS, where people will decry cuts to healthcare programs in the GOP budget, is led by pastors and wheelchair users (and some who are both).

Seriously, Now...

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

All Job Corps centers will be fully paused by June 30, 2025. The impact of the pause has already been felt across the country, with tens of thousands of students being sent home from their programs. www.localmemphis.com/article/life...

The tale of Jake “Judas” Tapper and his book - CliffsNotes edition. Oh, there’s a backstory, one he somehow failed to mention in print. Not to worry; everyone else has the deets. Take my hand through this thread. And lend me some ☕️ as I’m spilling most of mine. +… bsky.app/profile/ones...

Matthew Miller was an active part of the genocide in Gaza. This is not an exaggeration. He stood there day in and day out telling journalists citing journalists and human rights reports about Israeli war crimes and he denied them time after time after time. news.sky.com/story/former...

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social The county overwhelmingly voted for Trump. DODGE closed the Army Corps of Engineers campground by a huge 118 mile around lake created by a hydro damn. Biggest lake in Pennsylvania, Now the people are pissed 😂 Philadelphia Inquirer apple.news/AQeTswWOpTqi...

I survived Lymphoma- surgery, 3 months of chemotherapy, 21 radiation treatments. That was some 20 years ago! Modern medicine saved my life!

Trump irritated that his team didn’t tell him about ‘TACO,’ sources say #TrumpTaco www.yahoo.com/news/trump-i...

This is kinda bullshit. The FBI raids, simultaneously, 3 public defenders homes at 7am, lawyers for immigrants ICE captured at the court house.

It really is this simple. Happy Pride Month! #Pride #StraightNotNarrow

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day. Eight years strong. Thinking of all the survivors in my life today, and those who are no longer here.

We are in a polluted swamp swimming with piranhas.

So Bessent is saying it’s OK to give whopping tax cuts to rich people like him and that this won’t increase the deficit because the tariffs they’re imposing-aka a tax on consumers-will make up the difference. Populism for the rich! Good job, Trump voters.
