Way to Go, Chad! Chad Is Awesome! Too bad I’m learning how awesome Chad is at literally the same moment I’m learning I am no longer permitted to travel to Chad.

We have an official ruling

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

😉

sorry to anyone trying to break news today

Honestly kind of fitting that this level of catty public breakup between two aging divas is happening during pride month

Interview with Harvard's 2025 valedictorian, a Chinese national, while two American men fight over nothing in the background

I’m not a fan of McDonald’s as a rule— but this franchise owner knows what’s up, and I’m definitely not going to criticize them for this one thing. The reason people act the way they act is because they’re used to not facing consequences for it, and it’s nice to see someplace where that isn’t so. 😁

Carl Sagan in 1986 on the problems with media and science literacy.

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.

Nice job!

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

This interview nails it. Schumer needs to step down. Jeffries needs a reset. Dems need to stop trying to win over “indie” voters. Wake up, Dems, and meet the moment. This is not the time for status quo. Fight! www.editorialboard.com/trumps-job-a... @editorialboard.bsky.social

Trump said Putin warned him that he would "have to respond" to the attack on Russian airfields.He didn’t voice any disapproval of Putin's actions in his post or warn about any US reactions in that case The US embassy in Ukraine also warns about possible massive Russkan attacks in the near future⤵️

42,500 deaths annually. That's the number projected by a Yale study on the loss of Medicaid coverage due to Trump's disgusting abomination bill.

A win! The Trump administration is backing off its demand that states hand over personal data on SNAP recipients after a lawsuit. In a sworn statement filed in federal court, the USDA said it is pausing its plan to build a national database of Americans receiving food assistance.

Here’s what will happen to our National Parks if Trump’s budget passes. Did you know America’s national parks actually generate more income than they cost to operate? Yet under Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, the National Park Service (NPS) would face devastating cuts:

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he *lost* money.

Loyalty tests have officially arrived in the federal hiring process. The Trump administration just unveiled a so-called “Merit Hiring Plan”, which includes a quiz asking job applicants to name their favorite Trump policy or executive order.

Oooh Zach Terrell is the edgelord I found following Steve Sailer, the race scientist eugenicist guy bsky.app/profile/jswe...

Good News! The National Weather Service is hiring again, after DOGE’s “brilliant” decision to lay off essential staff. Apparently, round-the-clock weather alerts don’t send themselves. Who would’ve guessed?

In Florida, private school vouchers are being used for Disney tickets. Wonder what @GovBillLee’s vouchers are now buying with Tennessee taxpayer dollars? www.wesh.com/article/flor...

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Local Russian residents claim that a truck arrived in Olenegorsk (near Olenya Air Base), with the driver running around in panic as FPV drones repeatedly launched from the trailer. Traffic police have detained the driver, who reportedly said, "I was told to come here, someone would meet me."

Libraries are for everyone! Everyone deserves to see themselves in the books they read and get the chance to experience diverse perspectives! Happy Pride Month! #librariesareforeveryone #pride #pridemonth2025 #TLSky #Skybrarian #Booksky

The best bluff I make is not that I will use nukes. It is that there is some way to appease me that will take my nukes off the table, when it all does is re-enforce the value of the bluff. Can’t believe idiots still fall for it.

Annie by far would be the funniest senator. And if there were a medical emergency she could help with that, too. No need for constituents to die prematurely and unnecessarily!

“Penn Wharton, Trump's alma mater, finds that most households earning less than $51,000 will immediately see their after-tax income drop. Meanwhile, the bill boosts incomes of members of the top 1% by nearly $70,000 in the first year alone…” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Russell Vought, now a key figure in the DOGE, is openly challenging the constitutionality of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. He claims the executive branch has the authority to withhold funds even after Congress has appropriated them, essentially saying the president, not Congress,

Don’t look away. In Missouri, overturning the will of voters has almost become the legislature’s main business. @jeremykohler.bsky.social

My radical position is that congress should remove a president if he pronounces that his predecessor was assassinated and replaced by a clone

Last year, Illinois abolished requiring prior authorization for inpatient mental health care — and now, we're extending it to outpatient care. Patients and their doctors should be in control of decisions about their care, not insurance companies.

Reminder: Joni Ernst is up for reelection

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

The Trump administration’s billion-dollar cuts to the National Institutes of Health include a $2.7 billion blow to the National Cancer Institute slashing more than a third of its funding. “For the past 50 years, every significant medical breakthrough, especially in the treatment of cancer,

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds. This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg. Seabird peer-pressure can be intense. (📷: Robert F. Bukaty)
