Where is DOGE these days?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says deploying Marines and National Guard to protests in Los Angeles will cost $134 million.

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

Joe Rogan always looks like he’s being viewed on the back of a spoon.

Trump won. In two weeks he will have broken the richest man in the world and staged a military parade through the nation’s capital. His policy agenda isn’t doing great. But his consolidation of power is progressing.

Given the news—both what we're seeing in the streets and Stephen Miller saying the anti-ICE protesters are engaging in an "insurrection"—let me re-up this article from last year about why the Insurrection Act is even more dangerous than you might think. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-insu...

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president. But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

This was the plan. California was always the target.

Okay there it is.

Newsom and Trump weigh in

ATTACK THEM ON EVERY FUCKING THING. EVERY TIME. EVERY DAY. RUIN THEIR MISERABLE LIVES. SHAME THEIR SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. You don’t even mention that he’s a rapist pedophile, why the fuck not? What’s wrong with you?

feel like @mattgertz.bsky.social has been all over this, but if you don't watch Fox, it's really been in Other World mode. No bigger story yesterday than KJP's book, for example.

The stage of capitalism where a company increases its market cap by $50 billion on a report that its CEO will talk to the president.

Big downward revisions: Change in payrolls for March revised down by 65,000, from +185,000 to +120,000, and change for April revised down by 30,000, from +177,000 to +147,000. With these revisions, employment in March and April combined is 95,000 lower than previously reported.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Insufferable hedge fund guy brokering peace between a pair of heinous toddlers is peak 2025

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.

Trump went golfing after caving on No Tax on Social Security

Republicans are trying to pass the largest ever cuts to health care & nutrition assistance in our country’s history, but the savings from these cuts don’t even pay for their bill.   The GOP tax cuts for billionaires will still blow up the deficit by trillions—even Elon admits it!

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

This was the most troubling line in the troubling piece

It’s fine, he’s just got all your personal data. 💊💉

Trump hates his new nickname TACO so out of respect we made this song! 🌮 🕺🎶

Yes she did vote for that and needs to live with her shitty choices.

Love seeing @nytimes.com swinging back at Elon Musk and defending our journalism against bad faith attacks.

Every accusation is a confession

so glad we checked in with these folks

Mild critisism and stating the very obvious about the deficit is not exactly political courage and is no commitment to cost-cutting, especially given the needless havoc he has caused across the world www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell celebrated Wednesday, just days ahead of his trial for defamation related to false claims about voting machine company Dominion and one of its employees.

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

YES MORE OF THIS

the only question when you see his pardons is “how much did they pay” because everyone knows the white house is basically just a clearance table at macys now

‘Terrifying’: Trump cuts CDC’s drowning-prevention team The loss of the CDC’s drowning-prevention unit is one that water safety advocates fear will have a direct impact on children’s safety.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Among the provisions tucked into the bill House Republicans passed this week is a move to limit the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt, potentially shielding the Trump administration from the consequences of violating court orders. Here's what else the GOP slipped into the bill.

This is my not-shocked face.
