Excellent work by Ellen Barry and Nicholas Nehamas at New York Times pursuing this story that VA denies completely but the pictures and true stories show how they are lying. Yes. Veterans are being forced to do tele-mental health without privacy for their therapists and providers.

Donald is killing the distribution of American movies overseas. He's smart that way.

[spins wheel] MOVIES! [spins wheel again] Made OVERSEAS! [spins wheel yet a third time] Are a NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT

Himes: We’re negotiating with the Russians apparently right now over Ukraine, right? Is it possible that our negotiating position is on that Signal chat? Yes, it is. So anyway, it’s Christmas morning in Beijing, Moscow… because of the lack of operational security that these guys are showing.

“The hallmark of authoritarianism isn’t the knock at the door—it’s life under the constant fear of its arrival.” Abdel Rahman Elgendy, who was a political prisoner in Egypt for six years, has now fled the US. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Since Oklahoma, thanks to Ryan Walters, is now going to teach that the Orange Jesus actually won the 2020 election, I suggest they also learn about leprechauns and fairies in high school science. It’ll be A-ok for the okies, and help them maintain their impressive record of being 50th in education!

Because movie tickets weren’t expensive enough.

Hell, I guess the USA didn't make the list!

I have been seeing a lot of videos with young women starting off a conversation on the first date by asking who he voted for… Yes, girls. That’s how you do it. ❤️

Trump (defending his tariffs): "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls... they can have three dolls or four dolls..." Lydia Somin (age 9): "You can do a lot more with 30 dolls than with three." I say Lydia won that exchange!

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

The Apartheid nepo baby who calls Germany’s extremist AfD party “moderate” and does “Roman” salutes thinks it’s outrageous for people to claim he is what he is.

Washington Post has discovered that Rubio lied about Venezuela not being willing to accept so-called "gang members." It only stopped accepting deportees AFTER Trump's illegal Alien Enemies Act proclamation asserted that the US was at war with Venezuela and could seize its assets

Which FDA-approved vaccines had randomized, placebo-controlled trials? ALL OF THEM. Polio? Measles, mumps, rubella? Haemophilus influenzae B? Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis? Meningococcus? Varicella? Pneumococcus? Rotavirus? RSV? Hepatitis B? Influenza? HPV? COVID-19? Shingles? YEP. A thread🧵 1/

Trump calls Murdoch paper rotten!

Trump is completely unhinged. Trump: “Who you with?” Reporter: “Wall Street Journal.” Trump: “You people treat us so badly. The Wall Street Journal has truly gone to hell. Rotten newspaper… I don’t want to talk to the Wall Street Journal.”

Dropping at Midnight Eastern: it’s almost certain. Judges in both the Abrego Garcia and Rendition Flights cases are looking to charge the same guy with Contempt of Court: Stephen Miller! You’re taking the fall! Monday’s Countdown podcast drops at midnight wherever you podcast

Prepare for Trump to lose his mind on Sunday night: MSNBC host. www.rawstory.com/trump-pence-...

Alcatraz? Foreign Movies? These are rodeo clowns. We should stay focused on real issues: due process, denying the constitution, 225 court cases, impeachment.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Vitamin A won’t cure measles. Masks don’t cause hypoxia. Healthy living won’t cure or prevent disability. Eliminating red food dye won’t Make Americans Healthy We need universal health care, universal basic income, robust public health, masks in healthcare & more.

Here’s how that’s going

GPT is a goddamn patriot!

WELKER: The 5th Amendment says everyone deserves due process TRUMP: It might say that, but if you're talking about that, then we'd have to have a million or two million or three million trials

Did you know there was a 5.2 magnitude earthquake in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico last night? Did you know it is in the same area where hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has increased the number of wells from 350 in 2010 to 4524 in 2021? I am sure it is just a coincidence. @altdoi.altgov.info

“20% of air traffic controllers for Newark ‘walked off the job’ in recent days after several technology failures…. Newark airport cannot handle the number of planes that are scheduled to operate there” #Trump1st100days www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/05/...

Good thing no science goes on outside of the United States.

President Trump is right to bring Harvard to heel. Their published tuition rates are only what you pay AFTER the $2.5 million just to get the kid admitted. by Charles Kushner

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. As Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month approaches, it’s important to remember that dementia didn’t make fuckface a bad person. He’s a bad person who got dementia. #ENDALZ Fixed it.
