Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

On today, On what would’ve been my mom‘s 83rd birthday I salute her for introducing me to Star Trek. Thanks, mom.♥️🖖🏻

Not funny, but true: All tyrants eventually fall. But after that happens, the people and institutions that bowed down to them will never regain their reputations.

We're not mind readers but...

We need @stephencolbert.bsky.social bold and frank commentary now as much as ever, and we need to stop corporations like CBS from cowing to political intimidation of this administration. Add your name to the petition to demand they reverse their decision! sign.moveon.org/petitions/co...

He said he was deporting gang members, but he also said he would the number would be 11 million people. That's almost twice the population of Missouri. Did Trumpers think there were 11 million gang members in the country? Is math that hard? Jesus Christ.

I got some unexpected good news today. My oncologist appealed the decision regarding the medication that I want to be on and the insurance approved it today. It’ll probably be a week or so before I start it, but that approval makes things much more workable. 🐝🌻🌺

The top picture was taken at Summer Con this year and the bottom, one at Seattle Comic Con. @wookietron9000.bsky.social

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.

Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

Trump’s threat of a 50% tariff on Brazil, despite a U.S. trade surplus, lacks economic justification and is explicitly political. He intervened in Brazil’s judicial process, defending Bolsonaro while punishing a sovereign nation. Weaponizing economic power to shield autocrats is authoritarianism.

When you skipped history class and the briefing.

CNN is reporting the FEMA response was delayed 3 days because of Noem’s cost controls, and FEMA officials were “taken aback” by how limited the agency’s response was.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Both a coward and sell out.

My God. Please make sure everyone you know knows this.

This is not normal

"I’m sorry if I’m not adequately sympathetic to Lisa Murkowski’s plight, but she understands the consequences of her actions. She says the vote was difficult– she voted for it! That’s not difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you don’t actually DO the hard thing."

Crockett: How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won't have food on the tables and we won’t have health care.

Charlize said what we were all thinking—just with better lighting.

McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet."  If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

🚨The U.S. Department of Defense will stop transmitting microwave satellite data vital for hurricane forecasts by June 30, 2025, catching forecasters off guard. Experts warn the move will reduce public safety during peak hurricane season. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/pentagon-c...

Starting my journey home but first my treat for dealing with the foibles of humanity. No surgery for now(it sounds horrific🙄)instead I am going to try PT again coupled with a new brace. Crap. I wouldn’t mind a bit less drama but there is no use crying about it. Time to go to work. 

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on his $787 million lawsuit against Fox: "It's a defamation lawsuit... Their news organization, from John Roberts to Jesse Watters, knowingly misstated facts... It was so blatant, so gratuitous that I felt compelled to push back against this propaganda network."

I saw my oncologist yesterday. We have decided on a treatment option. It’s just trying to find the money to pay for it. There are other options to explore if that doesn’t work. So I just have to chill and wait. Try to adapt as best I can. #zen

Seattle bound! Hoping for some treatment news. Not expecting much.

We got to do something really special this weekend. I got to meet two of my favorite people. @jerilryan.bsky.social and @robertpicardo.bsky.social from Star Trek Voyager. I wouldn’t be here today without them. Thank you! Much love to you both.

The Four Assholes of the Apocalypse

This man says he’s a Christian. Why aren’t all the Christians getting on him for his heinous remarks? The only reason you wouldn’t because if you supported what he said. What kind of a Christian does that make people?

Hard to argue with that.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"
