“Here's a stat for you — If somebody abused women & girls with Jeffrey Epstein, they are literally more likely to be hired by Trump's administration than prosecuted by it”

Sure, sure. They STILL haven't gone beyond LOW Earth orbit yet but hey. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9Yd...

But Trump would charge for the kool-aide.

America is slouching toward the 250th anniversary of our revolution against arbitrary power with a president who shamelessly exercises it. Never before have we witnessed this degree of self-dealing, bribe taking, usurpation of congressional authority, and open defiance of federal courts.

Memorial Day Lest We Forget youtu.be/jccNoxn1HoU?...

😡😡

This tracks.

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

Trump called fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" — according to his chief of staff — he accused soldiers with PTSD of not being "strong," demeaned POWs, and insulted Gold Star parents & a widow. When he pretends to honor service members, don't believe it.

“Memorial Day is not for grifters, narcissists, wannabe despots, or moral pickpockets cosplaying devotion between rounds of self-worship. It belongs to the ones who earned remembrance. The men and women who gave everything.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

China launches a crew of three astronauts to its Tiangong space station onboard its Shenzhou-23 spacecraft from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The crew includes Lai Ka-ying, who is the first astronaut from Hong Kong, along with astronauts Zhu Yangzhu and Zhang Zhiyuan.

Huffpost: Trump used Saturday's shooting outside the White House to repeat demands that his big ballroom be added to the executive mansion. Trump needs to be thankful he's a man, otherwise some people might think he's too chickenshit to be president. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

“Justice Jackson told a gathering of the American Law Institute her colleagues' handling of the Louisiana case may have compromised the court's impartiality in political matters…” — To put it mildly. abcnews.com/Politics/jus...

Says it all.

Today, we pause to remember the Americans who laid down their lives in service to our nation. May we always honor their legacy and support the loved ones they left behind.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

2 posts in one day? That’s insane. But, the truth is out there (in the Epstein files)

My Uncle, D.L. Messer of Cleveland, TN, who paid the ultimate sacrifice on July 8, 1944 in the Normandy hedgerows.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics and regulation. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight w/the Trump admin over AI safety and military use of its technology.

New *Tylosaurus rex* mosasaur reached 43 feet long! That's one big sea lizard, and a reminder of how much we're still learning about ancient life.

Any news on the Epstein files?

The media has done as much to aid and abet Trump's crime spree as his accomplices.

Airline ticket prices are surging. A major culprit? Rising jet fuel costs due to Trump's Iran war. But there's also the underlying concentration in the industry. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Less competition makes it easier for the biggest players to price-gouge.

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱

It’s good to make new friends, even if they are a little different from you

A gentle reminder

If every media company stood up Trump instead of setting and handling him a $16 million check like Paramount, they would win every single lawsuit. Donald Trump and his administration are blatantly violating the 1st Amendment by using the power of the executive branch to try and silence critics...

Massie: "The president was bragging on the Roman architecture when in fact we're operating like the Roman empire ... I do think it's dangerous to indulge in things like a gold-plated ballroom in DC while Americans are suffering"

Jeff walked right into that one.

He…doesn’t know who was president on January 6th. I feel like this is an issue!
