Just thinking how Bill Clinton's meeting with Loretta Lynch on a tarmac was a tsunami-level political scandal in 2016, and now we have the president literally nominating his personal lawyer to be the nation's attorney general -- and it's greeted with a shrug. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

Kun Marin hengassi influensserien kanssa, niin se oli noloo ja epätoivoista. Nyt on ilmeisesti eri meno.

Donald Trump sued his own IRS, and then got a sweetheart deal that protects him, his family, and his companies from ever being audited. To me, that sounds like corrupt special treatment.

Hyvä kirjoitus! "Heikossa työmarkkina-asemassa oleville ihmisille on tuotettava palveluita, jotka aidosti tukevat työllistymistä. Tämä edellyttää oikea-aikaista kuntoutusta, työhönvalmennusta, tuetun työn mahdollisuuksia ja työnantajien kanssa rakennettuja ratkaisuja." www.hs.fi/mielipide/ar...

HS uutisoi että tämän kauden indeksijäädytysten vaikutukset tulevat jäämään noin 9 %:iin. Luvut on syytä suhteuttaa leikkausten yhteisvaikutuksiin, jotka laskelmiemme mukaan mm. työttömyysturvan menoihin 24% ja yleiseen asumistukeen 41% (sisältäen 7%:n indeksijäädytykset). osf.io/preprints/so...

1) Tässä on konkreettinen esimerkki siitä, miksi olen ollut huolissani poliisin rikostiedustelulakihankkeen epämääräisyydestä. Vappuna Sisä-Suomen poliisi arvioi onnistuneensa mielensoitusten turvaamisessa Tampereella.

Two police officers who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration’s nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who claim they were targets of a “weaponized” legal system.

“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf” is pretty funny.

Tilastokeskus sisällytti ARA-lainat Suomen julkisen velan määritelmään 2022. Muutosta pyydettiin Eurostatista. Päätös kasvatti julkista velkasuhdetta 6 %-yks. ja heikensi valtion kykyä tasata suhdanteita (rakentamista tukemalla). Eurostat pyysi samaa muutosta Hollannilta, joka ei suostunut siihen.

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom has gone from costing $200 million funded by shady donors to $1 BILLION from TAXPAYERS—snuck into the ICE bill by Senate Republicans. But Trump wants to prosecute Powell for cost overruns of the Fed's renovation.

"Trump’s initial post about removing US troops from Germany came just hours after he spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long sought to reduce the number of NATO troops in Europe... "The Pentagon 'was not expecting it'... www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Pawn blocks Queen.

9-11 months of hard work by the FBI to determine if the seashells were a threat against the president. What an elite, efficient agency it is under Kash.

in the history of speeches that have been read right off a sheet of paper, nobody has a read a speech off a sheet of paper harder than what Trump is doing right now

Frame it.

I thought Trump had made Washington DC the safest place on the planet because of all the soldiers on the streets

if you really think about it, there's no problem we face that can't be solved by a new White House ballroom

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History. tick...tick...tick

Orpon mukaan datakeskuksia ei ole tarvinnut "erityisesti houkutella" vaan kiinnostusta on muutenkin. Miksi hallitus sitten valmistelee valtiontukiohjelmaa datakeskuksille? www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Lmao

You know what's really crazy is that, for all the bitching they're doing about NATO, you know with 100% certainty that absolutely nobody in the Trump administration could explain just what they expect NATO to actually *do* about Iran

this is just stunningly corrosive to public trust and there need to be congressional subpoenas and jail time this is actually a great use of oversight power the second dems take control of congress - haul polymarket execs up there and make them give you everything they have on this shit

The US press is going to hide this from you but the reason there are "strikes on Lebanon" and "confusion over the strait" is that TRUMP RANDOMLY AGREED TO THE CEASEFIRE TO ESCAPE HIS OWN BLUFF WITHOUT WORKING OUT ANY OF THESE DETAILS

Q: "How would it not be a war crime to strike Iran's bridges and power plants?" Trump: "Because they killed 45,000 people in the last month…They kill protestors. They're animals."

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

It’s that time of year again.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

PM of Poland

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

She's a great cartoonist

"No president can decide to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval." —Marco Rubio in 2023 "It's the president's decision if we stay in NATO." —Marco Rubio in 2026

"Aktivointia on etenkin viime vuosina toteutettu yksipuolisesti lisäämällä tuenhakijoiden velvollisuuksia ja koventamalla (...) rangaistuksia." "Tärkeää olisi arvioida, mitä tapahtuu aktivointimalleissa niille ihmisille, jotka eivät pysty täyttämään velvoitteita". www.hs.fi/mielipide/ar...

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

Watching both sides of this war blatantly manipulate the US stock market is maddening.

Just a reminder that Trump hooked up with Stormy Daniels four months after Melania gave birth. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Tanskan velvoitetyö ei työllistä, mutta lisää osallistumista yhteiskuntaan. Tällaista hallituspuolueet kaipaavat nyt Suomeenkin. Päättäjiltä unohtuu, että kuntouttavalla työtoiminnalla on jo tällainen funktio. Sitä ollaan kuitenkin ajamassa alas liian kalliina. 🤷‍♂️ yle.fi/a/74-20214996

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

How can this go on for another 3 years?
