WaPo poll finds: 56% oppose ballroom 52% oppose triumphal arch 68% oppose his signature on money Among independents those numbers are even worse. Now imagine if voters understood Trump's IRS immunity scam. Absolutely lethal for Rs. Make them own it: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

And these people have the gall to complain about DEI and meritocracy when any they will install any white guy with zero qualifications to run entire agencies

Ohhhh

People want universal healthcare: Logistically Impossible! Legally Specious! How Are We Going To Pay For That? A billionaire wants to be a trillionaire: There’s Nothing Really Stopping Him From Looting Everyone’s Retirement Accounts That They Are Forced To Bet On The Stock Market With…

Let’s find an unqualified nepo-baby with zero experience in military, intelligence or government service who repeatedly says dumb things and has spent his time as housing finance director trying to prosecute Dems & make him DNI. What a joke this admin is.

#AT40 @dirkwilbury.bsky.social Dirk Wilbury Appreciation Month Day 2:Legends salute a legend for our very own legend! I can never pick a favorite lyric from this one.

The hottest new lifestyle trend is cooking and eating the food you have at home. It’s called fridgemaxxing

#AT40 From @dirkwilbury.bsky.social ‘s cousins on Day 1 of Dirk Wilbury Appreciation Month. Pretty sure they have 29 more songs. We’re gonna find out together! youtu.be/JJhDopZq9lM?...

Demoralizing the Democratic Base 101: When a Democratic governor (Jared Polis) cuts the prison sentence of a convicted MAGA felon who tried to steal the 2020 presidential election for Donald Trump in Colorado. Bad. Just... bad. www.9news.com/article/news...

FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters called out Trump for being $3 BILLION in debt, infidelity, not talking to his son, reading the works of Hitler, etc Real Journalism used to be a thing! (Now ask yourself what long-term promises you might make to people if you were billions in debt…)

For those talking about the lack of food in ICE facilities, you should know that jails and prisons regularly starve people to death. This is not a rare occurrance. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

every day I discover that my heart still has room to break www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

Ossoff nailed it.

Kyiv lit up to celebrate its 1,544th birthday The festive illumination was switched on for the first time since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

When the AI bubble pops, every AI company will beg for a bailout and say AI is “too big to fail.” These companies tried to replace the artists, writers, workers, teachers, and journalists whose work they stole. They will demand you save them so they can take your job, too. Can God get a hell no?

If you’d told me on January 7th 2021 that everyone in this picture would be pardoned and be paid $1 million each for reparations, I’d have said you were insane. It turns out that it’s American voters that are insane.

How many of these fucked up apologia pieces are we going to get before they give up

all else aside, I think this was the start of a shift for a lot of people- realizing their government was absolutely capable of helping them, but actively choosing not to

There is a difficulty of vocabulary I want to confront at the beginning, because the word I am about to use has been so degraded by misuse that the people who most need to hear it will reach for the back button before the sentence finishes.

Congrats to the GOP for forcing the entire country talk about @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s girlfriend, who it turns out is super hot 👍

#AT40 This one goes out to our friend @dirkwilbury.bsky.social youtu.be/GYQfWJNWe3I?...

Good job everyone. Dems may win Texas but not pick up Maine because we decided to do what Republicans do -- nominate bad candidates.

#AT40 List trolling culture was thriving in the early 70s!

#AT40 WTH Casey? Dropped out of high school in ….what year again?

Inside Delaney Hall in Newark, about 300 people are on day 7 of a hunger strike. They say the food has live worms in it. As your Congressman, I will vote to abolish ICE. Not reform it. Zero out its budget and rebuild humane, lawful immigration enforcement from scratch. The primary is on June 2.

Donald Trump has well and truly fucked over the US, for years to come.

SpaceX's rocket crashed into the ocean. The team cheered it as a "rousing success". (was better than the last 2) 🙄 Blue Origin's rocket blew up on the launch pad. And what about NASA? They launched the Artemis II mission, perfect launch, 10 days in space perfect landing. But let's fund SpaceX. 🙄

RIP to the legend who saved and/or improved on a heap of classics - Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Godfather, and more

After having seen STAR WARS 500 times as a kid, I remember having my mind blown learning that the entire "the death star is about to blow up the rebel base as its being attacked" beat of the ending was invented in the editing room using outtakes and ADR. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Hmmmm

I bet they build a Trump Tower in Tehran.

ICE hides flight info because if they can get detainees to detention hubs in the south before lawyers and family can locate them, they face harsher courts. But jurisdiction doesn’t change until the flight lands. That’s where this tracking tool comes in. 1/ gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

#AT40 lots of geography lessons in this countdown

#AT40 Very well timed lightning strikes here!

How one man's Kafkaesque plight explains the growing hunger strikes at immigration lockups and the nightly unrest in Newark Izzy Aly says he'll die soon unless an ICE camp in rural Pa. stops neglecting his advanced kidney failure My column on the fight to save Izzy www.inquirer.com/opinion/izzy...

I just can’t anymore. Needless wars, people starving, jobs disappearing, and these STUPID FUCKS are full on speedrunning Court of the Sun King into the French Revolution.

Michigan residents filed the first class-action lawsuit in the US over data center noise destroying their home values. From noise to water use to pollution, nobody wants data centers yet the government is calling us “extremists” for opposing them. It’s backfiring spectacularly!

Rats fleeing the ship they’ve sunk themselves: The NYT says Peter Thiel has quietly bought property in Buenos Aires and is meeting frequently with President Javier Milei. He sees Argentina as both an ideological fit and a Plan B outside the US. 1/2

Welp

Now physically tough, heroic, brave alpha males like Ted Cruz and Stephen Miller will tell us all about Talarico’s masculinity.

NEW: The $1.8B slush fund is NOT A SETTLEMENT. And now, 35 former judges have filed a motion to REOPEN the Trump/IRS case so the judge can commence an inquiry into whether the court was deceived. I've been sayin!! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

[Note: Ed Zitron was saying this long before The Verge decided to hop on the bandwagon] TL/DR: AI now has to show a $2 trillion a year profit to justify all the $ poured into data centers, or boom. That's almost 7.5% of the entire U.S. GNP. In pure profit. Not. Gonna. Happen.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

We had a deal with Iran that was working perfectly. Then President pdf tore it up purely out of spite. Now he’s gone and stared a needless war with a nation that never attacked us, all to distract from his pdf crimes. This country voted to self destruct in November ‘24.

It’s a really solid piece of scholarship. He specifically calls out racism, the ideals of eugenicists, greed, the pruning of humanities and social sciences. He quotes everything from Vatican II to advocates to Tolkien to historical sources. www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

The dude who runs Twitter, controls your feed, and makes money off your posts is on week two of posting about how Chris Nolan casting a black woman as a beautiful woman is anti-white genocide. I do not want to write for that guy for free, which is what you're doing when you post to his platform.
