Can Powell restate this in terms we all understand such as per capita decline in number of dolls and pencils?

this is basically Powell's diss track

WTAF is going on

Sen. Ossoff: Who out there in the American public is sitting at home demanding that we shut down cancer research and Alzheimer's research?

It was immediately obvious that this was the Trump DC Hotel 2.0. A much more direct way to accept bribes.

My thoughts on that pitiful excuse of a letter from the Sec of ED to Harvard. I care about the naked power grab and authoritarianism way more than the bad writing. They also included my regular request that boards not be cowards. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

Protest in a friendly manner or my AG will "come after you" is not exactly the way the First Amendment was supposed to work...

USAT: Supreme Court allows Trump’s ban on trans serving on the military to proceed while the “litigation plays out”. Like 6 yrs later, when a final opinion is entered, the trans will be able to return to active duty. This decision is just reprehensible on so many levels.

The outrage bait by TPUSA from the protest of their event at Portland State tonight is largely footage of Brandon Farley being chased out of protestor's faces. It comes across like he's some random guy being harassed, but dude is a jerk w a long history of trying to dox activists for Andy Ngo, etc.

Looooooooool shared sacrifice ? The people who basically rioted and now harass other people over masking in a pandemic ?! The people who needed to go to Applebees more than keeping the kids and elderly safe ?

Nobody gets a "trial" before being deported. You have no right to an attorney, or a real Article III judge, or a jury, or to witnesses and evidence. You get an executive branch employee cosplaying in a black robe, who is usually a rubber stamp. That's what he's talking about as too much due process.

Americans understand shared sacrifice? 😂 Umm.. We couldn't even get our neighbors to wear masks and stay home to protect our most vulnerable

No, you're not a lawyer. You are President of the United States. And you shouldn't need to phone a friend to answer whether you will defend our Constitution.

Seven Samurai is now 49 Samurai

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Did they show The Rock on AF1 recently? 🧐

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."

This, right here ⬇️ 💯 %

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr. NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

I do think we're getting close to Lucy leaving the football in place for me to kick it. She told me privately she was going to let me kick it. I think we're nearly there.

Looks like Hunter is at it again. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/w...

I remember when DHS tried doing this accurate designation toward US groups and got successfully bullied into dropping it. Just another way American institutional collapse is entirely self-imposed.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade. (Published Dec. 2024)

A little clip from a recent keynote I gave, featuring Refried 🎶

🚨 Tulsi Gabbard still sells subscriptions to her Substack for $6/month or $60/year, @mattlaslo.bsky.social scoops. The U.S. Director of National Intelligence currently has around 116k subscribers on the platform. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

May Day Reminder: The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr. UNACCEPTABLE.

NPR did a 30-minute interview with Steve Bannon in his podcast studio that aired just yesterday. PBS had on Chris Rufo tonight. Cozying up to these fucks won’t save you.

This is typical, incoherent, off-the-rails rambling, but it moves to chef's kiss territory with the chyron. Just an unhinged idiot that makes everything up on the fly - and thinks he's great at public speaking.

9 out of 10 economists agree

Gaspar sent us this vid from the strawberry harvest in Santa Maria CA. He shared the season just started and we're earning $16.50 an hour. We don't receive any benefits. It's hard work to be bent over all day, but it feeds my family. #WeFeedYou Ñ

They're all in on the doll thing, huh?

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

This guy, Dom Lucre, shared child sexual abuse material on Twitter, got banned for it, and then Musk reinstated him. Absolutely wild to see him being treated like a real journalist.

bsky can have a little police surveillance manual, as a treat

BREAKING: After a hearing and further briefing, Judge Brian Murphy says that, no, DHS — blocked by a prior order in the case from third-country removals w/o due process — cannot just send people to Gitmo and then let the military remove them to a third-country location with no due process.

I recall attempting this same argument when I was in high school. "Dad, if you take out the D in calculus, I've got a 3.5 GPA" "if you take out the days I skipped, I had perfect attendance this quarter"

A billlionaire telling working class voters their kids should cut back on toys to endure his economic policies
