The nine critically endangered American Red Wolf pups, born at our offsite facility on April 18, meeting their dad Fiddle. Both mom and dad Red Wolf parents share responsibility for raising the pups. The pups will remain behind the scenes at our off-site Red Wolf facility. Stay tuned for pupdates!

Seven ICE agents surrounded four workers without a warrant or legal authority. The workers called a local sanctuary hotline, advocates came running. ICE left empty-handed.

Leftists backing billionaire Steyer after yelling “there are no ethics billionaires” And now their fav billionaire busted secretly paying creators to make videos about him. You can’t make this stuff up

Holy balls, this opinion: "As citizens, we trust that federal prosecutors . . . will play fair and be honest with its counterparts and the judiciary. DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case." (via @chrisgeidner.bsky.social) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Rhode Island district judge Mary Mcelroy has quashed the subpoena from the DOJ seeking to access the medical records of trans youth. She enjoined DOJ as well. She calls DOJ "untrustworthy" and DOJ misrepresented and withheld information from the court. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm so sick of people sugar coating the Epstein files. These rich and powerful men raped young girls and boys and the President of the United States was part of it. #ReleaseTheEpstein_Files

Clarification: China did not steal our technologies. Western companies rushed into the Chinese market and accepted short-term deals, trading long-term sustainability for immediate profits. China didn’t take it. We handed it over to deliver dividends.

Disaster Mitigation Protip: When considering a message of contrition and promise to get help after your drunken bigoted tirade, check to see whether your handle is “TastyBrew1976”

Roughly 40 insurrectionists have been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for crimes that have nothing to with their actions on January 6. Trump's choice to pardon them has real public safety risks.

And the tech companies wonder why people hate them so much.

Seems bad.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

I see all of the outrageous things that are happening and just feel…very little. I suspect I’m not alone in being out of energy to express outrage proportional to current events. It’s been a long ten years.

MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year? BURGUM: Intermittent or base load? M: 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW. B: But only when the sun is shining M: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year - less than 10% of China. You're harming our natl security

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

Two biggest new industries: Concentration camps Data centers Make of it what you will

Start calling them Surveillance Centers. Maybe people will get it then.

A governor who discards votes should be impeached.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Donald Trump should have been arrested on 1/6/21 and held without bail until convicted and imprisoned. That’s what should have happened.

The Trump admin doesn't really care about Medicaid fraud. If they did, Trump wouldn't have commuted the sentence of Philip Esformes and he wouldn't allow Sen Rick Scott, who oversaw a 1.7 BILLION MEDICARE/MEDICAID FRAUD SCANDAL, serve in government.

Over 14 million Californians rely on Medicaid - including millions of kids, seniors in nursing homes, people with disabilities, and hardworking families. This isn't fiscal responsibility - it's cruelty, especially after Republicans cut billions from MediCal in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. 🧵

Once again, California appears to be targeted solely for political reasons. The Trump Administration is planning to defer over $1 billion in Medicaid funding for vital programs that helps seniors and people with disabilities remain safely in their homes.

I want us to do whatever it takes to purge MAGA from government, imprison them, break any procedural rules, etc etc. Except I still think it’s obvious that we can’t withhold Medicaid etc money from red states, and I don’t understand why any Republicans don’t object to this?

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

American oligarchs going to i sure their self interests at a whole new level we’ve never seen before. No one in the room on behalf of the American people. Diplomats anyone? Helloooooo? Anyone?

US gasoline showing signs of strain/demand destruction due to high prices, implied demand down to 8.754mbpd, 0.8% below the four week average from a year ago.

Nevermind that Chinese electric vehicles are extremely well-built and far more technically advanced that most US cars at a far lower price.....Republicans have to protect Tesla-owner Elon Musk from competition.

Trump is in China making deals, focused entirely on trade and technology, without an iota of interest in human rights. But the two are deeply intertwined: much of China's trade advantage is built on human rights abuses. Forced labor- especially in Xinjiang - gives Chinese companies an enormous edge.

With all his billions *stolen*, the ignorant buffoon can't buy a suit that covers his bustin' belly. Look at that smirk though. The Chinese are going to eat him for lunch.

It should be noted that he and his family bought land for a luxury car dealership in Central Ohio before his election. It should open this summer with construction almost complete. No Chinese vehicles allowed.

I was just talking to someone from Taiwan who was a Trump supporter but also extremely in favor of Taiwan being free of Chinese influence. Should loop back next week and get their thoughts.

Having thoroughly damaged America's relationships with Europe, Trump is now getting ready to do the same thing in Asia giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @FT

the proximate reason i post here — beyond the fact that i like a lot of you and enjoy reading your thoughts and jokes and observations — is that this is a non-algorithmic platform where people share lots of stuff and people read what is shared. that's still valuable even if it doesn't "influence!"

⚠️ Costco and Walmart reportedly are expecting motor oil inventory shortages in the coming weeks. This guy owns a commercial lube franchise:

If your automobile needs an oil change, you might want to get it done sooner rather than later. If this shortage does materialize, it will affect ALL of the countless lube and auto repair small businesses around the country, which will have further downstream economic effects.

⚠️ “The Trump administration’s public portrayal of a shattered Iranian military is sharply at odds with what U.S. intelligence agencies are telling policymakers behind closed doors…Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz…” Gift link:

It's not just that the FBI director is acting like a spoiled child; he keeps repeating the dumb lie that Van Hollen was "drinking margaritas with a felon" when he visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As a reminder, it was a stunt from the El Salvador regime, who put sugar-rimmed glasses on the table.

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.
