Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

Trump Jr. bought into a startup. The White House then personally intervened to hand that startup $620 million from the Pentagon, and the company’s valuation jumped from $200 million to $2 billion. You tell me if that sounds suspicious.

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

Mitch McConnell will receive a level of medical care he has spent his entire career preventing other Americans from having

I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=9rt...

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand

How are we supposed to give a flying fuck that Elon is a trillionaire when the guy literally used his power to END programs that fed the poorest people on Earth? Fuck that selfish asshole, and fuck his trillion dollars helping nobody but his damn self.

A pogrom against immigrants = "people who want their country back" Mass protests against police brutality = violent terrorist riots

The Mayor is spreading misinformation. Ballots are counted if they are postmarked BY Election Day so long as they are received up to 7 days after — you know, cause this is a big state and mail can take some time.

Make it make sense… Trump says he needs a $200 million ballroom, bulletproof glass, and a security fortress to keep him safe at the White House. Then he hops on a plane and heads to a packed Knicks game in New York.

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

US accepts only white refugees for sixth consecutive month

I hope Spencer Pratt ends up in 5th place as a salute to Riley Gaines and whatnot.

…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

The conservative movement explicitly, no-shit, no-other-explanation believes that an educated populace is directly opposed to their vision of a peasant class having 15 kids and building wealth for the Chosen Few Elites forever and want to repeal the 20th and the 19th century to achieve that goal

Amazon will spend $200B this year on AI infrastructure — including data centers — while forging ahead with over 30,000 layoffs. And don't forget: the company paid nearly $8B less in taxes last year thanks to Trump's big ugly bill. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Every headline now is President says country ‘hotter than ever’” and then there’s another story in the corner that says “mosquitos now have rabies”

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

you run into a college buddy at LaGuardia by "happenstance." You do not enter the United States Capitol through a broken window while wielding a metal pole by "happenstance."

It's not a good sign for your democracy when the attorney general is "not committing to doing anything in writing."

LA voters: if you are dropping off your ballot today take it to a designated ballot box. Don’t drop in the mail. Your vote won’t be postmarked until tomorrow and won’t count, unless you walk it into a post office and ask a worker to stamp it today.

I know I'm a broken record, but Trump *not* releasing his taxes as he promised and the IRS *not* auditing his taxes every year and releasing the results like they have for every goddamn president for forty years is the actual scandal. This won't outlast his term and should be fought right now

the president of Chet Haze's fraternity is now in charge of national intelligence

Gas prices are $6 a gallon and going up because Trump is bored and doesn’t want to do the work to end the war. That’s the actual truth.

That A.I. is trained on copyrighted material is not a subject of serious debate…. Unless you think Anthropic paid a 1.5 billion settlement to authors & publishers out of sheer generosity

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

This opinion is soon going to be recognized universally: Trump is the most notorious criminal in modern history. Not since Hitler has any leader of a country plundered, pillaged, and personally enriched himself so obscenely, while giving ZERO fucks to the rule of law.

yes!! prospect.org/2026/05/20/e...

The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out: “The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying.”

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

The State Department supposedly sent $1.5 billion tax dollars to the Board of Peace slush fund, which is now empty.

The Trump Department of Justice purged government news releases with information about prosecutions of rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol and assaulted law enforcement on Jan. 6, 2021. n.pr/4dyiOmb

This is a really important piece from @joyurcaba.bsky.social. Most people think that the government's restrictions on health care for trans people was limited to minors (which has been the government's messaging). It's not, and people need to know about it.

U.S. officials privately told Iran that Trump’s social media posts are mainly intended for domestic media and political messaging, and should not be taken too seriously during negotiations.

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

An audience member asked me about leftist pronatalism.

Among the Jan 6ers eager to get in line for $1.8 billion in government money: a sex offender who bear-sprayed cops www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... @merylkornfield.bsky.social

After a massive lobbying push by the chemical industry, Trump just rolled back landmark Biden-era limits on PFAS "forever chemicals" in our drinking water. How the hell is this making America healthy again?

The Republicans are The Party of Trump, they literally say it every day and if you're trying to "work" with Republicans you're a Trump fan. Simple as.

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House: “Well, look. The salary of Congress has been frozen since 2009.“ SO HAS THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE. If Congress can’t “take care of their families” at $174,000 a year, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK POOR PEOPLE CAN, YOU SOULLESS MONSTER?

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

This is the graf where my blood pressure peaked

The Trump administration wants to decrease a mother's allotments for fruits and vegetables from $52 to $13 a month.

gestured towards this in my column today but republicans seem to have adopted this idea that the partisan lean of a state represents some mystical General Will such that the south isn't just a place with republican voters It Is Republican and no democrat has a right to serve within its borders

Joe Biden was old and not as sharp as he should be, and the New York Times wrote story after story about it. Trump is old and out of his damn mind, and the NY Times steps carefully around the issue. Why? 1/2🧵

Didn't the Supreme Court say Texas couldn't use their old maps back in December because it was too close to the primary elections? But it's okay for Alabama, where voting has ALREADY BEGUN?
