Bannon Betrays Big Beautiful Bill

Are we great yet?

Final tally of mentions on Maria Bartiromo's show today Medicaid: 0 Biden: 34

Accurate but heinous www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

A junkie unmoored from reality destroyed our govt: "The drug has psychedelic properties and can cause dissociation from reality. Chronic use can lead to addiction and problems with bladder pain...Mr. Musk told people that his ketamine use was causing bladder issues" www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

these visuals hardly do it justice, but just staggering to contemplate this scale of destruction. An estimated 60 percent of all buildings destroyed; 90 percent of housing gone. 90 percent of the population -- 1,900,000 people -- displaced www.bbc.com/news/world-m...

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

CNN uncovered audio from RFK's radio show where he read aloud and endorsed a description of Trump and his supporters as belligerent idiots, cowards, and bootlickers.

Niche complaint: The marked decline in quality of copy-editing is a feature of modern academia. Publisher refused to correct cop-edit errors their proofing system introduced for a recent manuscript, saying it was my fault I had not caught them earlier.

Other, more serious countries have actual constitutional courts

Trump, Who Dodged the Draft, Chooses Memorial Day to Lash Out at Political Foes Rather Than Honor the Fallen www.kyivpost.com/post/53398?u...

He’s such an idiot. Good Lord. A mental midget.

Today, we remember the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Let their legacy inspire us to live worthy of their gift. 🇺🇸

The credulity with which people are greeting these "deals" is absurd. These countries just say "We'll invest eleventy trillion dollars in the US!" to give Trump something he can claim as a victory. If 1/100th of it ever happens it'll be a shock. It's all fake.

More moronic, Trump tantrum-induced climate reversion policy. The GOP was bad enough accepting anthropogenic climate modernity. With Trump, it's back to the 1950s. messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/dynamic/rend...

“Many clients see the deals as a weakness and, increasingly, are pulling work away from the firms that [capitulated] to the Trump administration. … Attorneys are leaving the firms that caved to Trump, hoping to get the stink of capitulation off their resumes.”

“Part of Donald Trump’s appeal is that he is the great champion of Christendom and now he’s going to have to explain that to a fellow American who is the pope,” Mr. Sykes said. “There are very few, if any, figures that have the platform and the voice of the Holy See.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

WATCH: @ezralevin.bsky.social & @leahgreenberg.bsky.social tell @timmiller.bsky.social any Dems avoiding standing up against Trump’s anti-constitutional ICE raids for politics are both doing the wrong thing — and being misled by consultants. Full @thebulwark.com pod: youtu.be/WrxOh3kDf58?...

@kenwhite.bsky.social Nice to see the Popehat back on this time w some woke & Marxist influences.

Thank you to everyone who wrote to me to offer support about my appearance on 60 Minutes.🙏 I will never back down or go silent. I hope that what I write might help others, especially lawyers, speak out as well. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...
