If you commit Medicaid/Medicare fraud (even imaginary fraud), Republicans will try to punish you. Unless you do it on an HUGE scale, then they will reward you.

Good morning and welcome to Pride Month 2025, when "straight" white Christians get on social media, TV, and their pulpits and demonstrate how they think about gay sex way, way more and in far greater detail than than gay people do.

Fearing reprisals from the smallminded bigot Donald Trump, corporations are withholding hundreds of thousands of dollars from Pride events this summer. This proves that their "support" was never genuine. Pride was just seen as another opportunity to advertise. www.edgemedianetwork.com/story/339627

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

One more for the "WTF" quota... This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in February when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week. "It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug... Really struck by the table in Krugman's latest. Forget the comparison with NY (which is also striking). Florida has 1/3 the population of the UK, and twice the traffic fatalities, and almost twice the homicides.

History will remember this as the year that the Russian dreams of empire died forever, but ironically also as the year that their 80 year plan to destroy the U.S. by turning its citizens into ignoramuses finally succeeded beyond all expectations.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP
