After the little Musk-Sikorski spat this, and Musk's statement to abolish the EU (after the Commission fined X), let's ask ourselves simply: HOW ARE EUROPEAN COMMISSIONERS USING X NOW? In this 🧵 I'll document it, Commissioner by Commissioner. When did they last post? How often do they post?

I wrote about the dirty, demeaning, absolutely booming business of turning something like a shitty bigoted college essay into a shitty public career as a bigot, and also estimated how old Marine Todd would be today. defector.com/the-conserva...

"Once any logical planner assesses Venezuela’s true scale, the more apt comparison becomes obvious: A U.S. invasion into Venezuela would mirror the Russian miscalculation in Ukraine."

@pfrazee.com, we really need @bsky.app to let us know why Sarah Kendzior's account was suspended and if there was a good reason—or any reason at all. Transparency is important with such high profile suspensions (but also, everyone should be informed about why they get suspended).

🤣😂🤣 #SheShed

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name. The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

Evil at work.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

The GOP-led Congressional Budget Office reports that the One Big Beautiful Bill will reduce the yearly income of the poorest Americans by $1,600 & increase the yearly income of the richest Americans by $12,000. Pass it on. www.cbo.gov/system/files...

Appalling and scary.

#Republicans say they’re targeting just criminals and gang members. Bullsh*t. They’re targeting anyone who “looks illegal” for their 3,000 a day quota, no matter what. And masked #ProudBoys and #OathKeepers get to decide who that is! “The homegrowns are next.” - DT, 04/14/25 #MAGAKidnappers

DHS Secty Kristi Noem said about military in LA: "We are staying here to LIBERATE the city from the socialists and burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor." Trump is calling for regime change in Calif. Yet media ignores it. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/why-is-kri...

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Pls repost Lily Blossom! I need for her to be seen!

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

💥 Russia: Strategic bombers destroyed at Belaya Air Base in the most consequential Ukrainian attack on Russia so far. Attack drones were activated in a wooden structure placed atop a truck. Billions of dollars in irrecoverable loss for Russia.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Well said. The obsession with a cover up that is both irrelevant and specious - while a malignant, craven con man destroys American power, prestige, rule of law and is clearly deeply unwell in speech, tweet and deed etc is a true disgrace.

A nice thing about visiting Austin is getting to see one of the airport bathrooms that made Nancy Mace so mad, and the sign above it that she cropped out of the photo.

Canada is NOT the problem!

(Bloomberg) - Hong Kong’s pension fund managers have flagged the risk of potential forced selling on their Treasury holdings after a downgrade by Moody’s Ratings of US debt, according to people familiar with the matter. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Times had a clarifying story about this. They say that not only are there tech issues themselves with the old radar systems, but currently the ATC work is being routed through an old hub to a new hub, amplifying chances for tech failures to impact operations. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/u...

We have a president who thinks he’s a King. We don’t need a Mayor who thinks the same. I’m calling on New Yorkers to reject Cuomo’s corrupt ways. And I’m calling on the NYC Campaign Finance Board to investigate this serious matter. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/n...

Just a quick update on flight safety. It's on everyone's minds and I would like to provide a very important statistic. So far, in 2025, we have had the most aircraft related fatalities in the US since 2001. And yes, we are referring to 9/11. It's only May.

Continuing along with the zero empathy stuff

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

Who are the 9 firms paying off Trump to avoid his attacks? Bookmark it: A&O Shearman: $125 million Kirkland: $125 million Latham & Watkins: $125 million Simpson Thacher: $125 million Cadwalader: $100 million Milbank: $100 million Skadden: $100 million Willkie: $100 million Paul Weiss: $40 million

A travesty of incompetence and stupidity. America is killing its future in both health and wealth for everyone. The rich don’t care.

The bots aren’t even trying these days. Instant block. 🤣

Guys urgent! I need a foster for LUNA BEAR in NY, NJ, CT, ME- quickly! We have a rescue- just need a foster! 🙏 repost so she can be seen by as many as possible!

BREAKING: New York State Attorney General Letitia James breaks her silence, responding to Trump's retaliation against her and hands him his ass. Letitia James is a fearless woman. Must-watch:

Oh look another POS Cuomo. And carville is irrelevant.

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

Glad he went. Thankful.
