from a 2023 article: "Nithya Raman turned into a political celebrity when she emerged as the face of a rising progressive vanguard to campaign for the Los Angeles Council in 2020... Raman wound up receiving more votes than any council member in the city’s history & [drew] comparisons to AOC."

Trump: "I didn't guarantee no war." Trump guaranteeing no more wars:

Senior researchers at a meeting of the American Diabetes Association were handing out copies of an editorial, published in the association's journal, condemning Trump administration cuts to diabetes research. Police came to arrest them. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/w...

Yaakov Roth was a Harvard Law School grad, SCOTUS clerk, and longtime BigLaw partner. His resume, law students were always told, was a sign that he was among those at the top of the legal profession. Today, he said Trump could tear down the Statue of Liberty tonight and no one could stop him.

Corporate Media: Rubio is the leader we need to replace Trump! Rubio: I have ceded by job as Secretary of State to Trump's son-in-law, who uses the position to enrich himself & weaken US, while I debase myself daily by yelling "the emperor's new clothes are amazing!!!"

Very bad news. Screwworm appears to have made it to Texas, as was predicted. These parasites eat the living flesh of cattle, cause horrible pain, and can ultimately kill them. Yesterday, USDA Chief Brooke Rollins categorically denied that screwworm was close to the border.

Holy fuck, they not only cut the whistleblower's break line, they disabled his airbag and other safety features.

The president is admitting that it's a partisan event here, so it shouldn't be getting any more federal funding. He can pay for it himself.

So addicting! www.82-0.com/share?id=Ptu... #82-0

I hate the line that the Constitution is "colorblind." The reconstruction amendments gave the Constitution eyes with which to see discrimination, ears with which to hear the cries of the oppressed, and a mouth with which to speak the law against it. The Court made it a blind deaf mute for a century.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

Clown show 🤡

Okay so now we know Todd Starnes sits around thinking about James Talarico wearing frilly underpants. Don't really understand why he would broadcast that to everybody but alright

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

“Government stats say incomes after adjusting for inflation are now declining YoY. What do you say to that?” “Well, it’s true, but/and partly because we have reduced incomes for people by cutting their social programs.” Not a mystery why Trump’s approval on the economy is -50

And i want to point out two things that are instructive concerning conversations about masculinity

Congrats to Ezra Klein on being favorably cited by the OMB proposed rule to obliterate American science funding! 🥳 Presumably this is also part of the "Abundance" agenda, I dunno. 🤷‍♂️ ("Ditch II" there is a Heritage Foundation report.) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Cronyism

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins says poor Americans are being kicked off SNAP and are “moving into the American dream.” Also known as malnutrition.

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

Students for Trump co-founder arrested on domestic violence charges, allegedly yelled “Do you want to die today?”

—Guy gets a potato egg and cheese taco —republicans decide to make it a campaign issue —they call him vegan instead of vegetarian even though vegans don’t eat eggs or cheese, because vegan sounds “worse” —guy isn’t even vegetarian, he just likes tacos

"We find that conservative Americans in this cohort, who were about as healthy as liberals in the early 2010s, experienced worsening health through the 2010s and higher mortality in the early 2020s" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You should always be wary and think of the target audience when a CEO writes in WSJ, and maybe that’s why I’m cynical in this case. But this looks like the CEO is firing 20% (~1000) and replacing them with 1,111 interns. apple.news/A9PjCwSfHTXi...

Whereabouts of missing Rep. Tom Kean (R-N.J.) remain unknown, but he’s trading stocks again. From today’s @notus.com newsletter:

Local law prof proudly proclaims: 1) his ideology dictates his legal analysis; and 2) he published his NYT op-ed before doing the scholarly legwork supporting it because it would have taken too much time to do the other way. Wow.

Lutnick paid off Republicans before his Epstein testimony. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Robot legs are here and they aren’t going anywhere. [booing begins] Whether you like it or not we are going to cut off all of your legs and arms [booing intensifies] and heads and replace them all with robot legs and only robot legs [shouting over boos] well I can see you aren’t ready for the future

This is why they didn't record it.

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

The kids are all right.

Bezos told CNBC there is "way too much corporate welfare, way too much corporate subsidies" the Trump admin literally JUST redirected billions in infrastructure bill taxpayer subsidies to his LEO satellite broadband company for service he ALREADY PLANNED TO DEPLOY shameless fuck

basically the whole thing is the result of a conspiracy involving less than 10 bilious transphobes, most of them at The Atlantic or the NYT bsky.app/profile/kiss...

You'd think that someone this rich wouldn't feel the need to lie for money. But you would be wrong.

Any else's Apple Watch stop tracking stand goals after the 26.5 update? 20% of Move, 11 exercise minutes, zero stand goals.

Just a shocking level of incompetence by this administration.

White man raised under Apartheid brags, to other white men, of how he has sentenced Africans to horrible, preventable deaths.

In 2025, HHS issued stop work order for federal research lab that studies Ebola virus and other deadly pathogens and fired its director. This lab was a world leader in accelerating development therapies and vaccines for Ebola and other viruses. 1/ www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

Trump just put him in charge of the FDA. He has no medical background at all. But he does turkey hunt with Don Junior so ok. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There are legitimate debates about the role immigration enforcement should play. But decimating local economies is not it. Is this what we want to spend taxpayer dollars on? Speak up and share this widely. You and your elected representatives need to know the facts.

JUST IN: Abject apology from lawyers for former DHS official Joseph Guy over motion containing fake case citations hallucinated by AI. Jason Greaves of Binnall Law Group says he used Claude Console, asked associate to cite check & failed to check himself www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

If the Chinese replaced Trump with an android programmed to say and do whatever they wanted, it wouldn’t look any different than what we’re seeing now.

Trump finally admits it.
