i am not sure mike johnson’s plan of abandoning the capitol to a bunch of snarky house dems (of which there are many) with nothing to do was a smart strategic move

This gem-filled post by Morgan Housel snuck by over the summer. It's filled with insights and wisdom. A few examples: "There is rarely more or less economic uncertainty; just changes in how ignorant people are to potential risks." collabfund.com/blog/little-...

And: "Few things are as valuable in the modern world as a good bullshit detector." "People tend to know what makes them angry with more certainty than what might make them happy. Happiness is complicated because you keep moving the goalposts. Misery is more predictable."

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Vrienden, Lubach isn't new to this. Here's a gem from 2017: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELD2...

Dutch late night TV has its take

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

People who say Dems need to "tone down their rhetoric” = People who are either being purposefully dishonest, or people who have suffered a head injury. www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

This is your Democratic campaign message for 2026

I'm trying to eat healthier foods (and save money) by cutting out fast food, restaurants generally and processed foods. You wonder who the "4 servings" guide on a pint of ice cream is for? Me, that's who. I can be happy with just a bite now and then. But I can kill a box of crackers solo.

But a white guy with a COVID conspiracy manifesto isn’t news at this point. After all, that’s who runs the government now! The CDC is a part of Health & Human Services, headed by RFK Jr., whose conspiracy-addled ideology is indistinguishable from the motivations of this terrorist.

Miraculously, he didn’t hit a single CDC employee! But he did kill David Rose, the police officer who responded, who leaves behind two children and a pregnant wife. I can't help but imagine the vast attention this case would have received if the race of the shooter and the victim were reversed.

So Texas Republicans have now set up a TIP LINE to rat out the Texas Democrats So PLEASE, for the sake of the public, DO NOT FLOOD THIS NUMBER with tips on Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, or asking why Trump is on “the list” 1-866-786-5972 Thank you!

If any demographic in the United States has been softened up to the notion of averting their eyes in the face of pedophilia, it is Christians.

@davidjfaber.bsky.social dispayed his disdain for socialists & Warren including short quips on dropping interest rates. Who is resposible for ten of the eleven U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020? GOP! And their over aggressive greed and capitalist extremes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._ec...

Elizabeth Warren went to CNBC today and destroyed Donald Trump on the economy. Trump is trying to bury this appearance with a tantrum on his failing media site. Make sure this goes viral instead. www.cnbc.com/video/2025/0...

Trump has initiated a new era in which the chief executive can use threats regarding the most powerful weapons on Earth to salve his ego and improve his political fortunes. Once upon a time, America was governed by serious people. No longer. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Lindsey Graham is confronted with a montage of his own comments from 2017 where he actually tells the truth about Russian interference in our elections. Now, he’s just shamefully repeating Trump’s debunked talking points. You have to watch this.🤬👇

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Important @lioneltrolling.bsky.social: "The essence of Trump’s movement is an attack on the very concept of American citizenship" www.unpopularfront.news/p/death-to-a...

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Don’t mess with these people they don’t play.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Of course. Everything they do is to enrich themselves. readsludge.com/2025/06/04/t...

Our Memorial Day piece is a really important read. Our commitment to maintaining an apolitical military is eroding—and it is critical that we not utterly forfeit this ideal.

Donald Trump cut funding for cancer research by 31% in the first three months of his term. This is an attack on every American family who has loved someone with cancer.

Robert De Niro at the Canne Film Festival: 📌“In my country we are fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted. That affects all of us here because the arts are democratic. Art embraces diversity and that’s why art is a threat, that’s why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists.”

When delegations meet in Istanbul:

WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.” Singer @montemader.bsky.social says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJgZk_W...

Donald's latest book he is yet to read:

Loving the likes and reposts! I think folks would really get more out of reading this, though. The headlines barely touch how fucked this story is. His team celebrates child death. You will want the details, especially when persuading others of what Kennedy is doing.

“There's no vaccine that is safe and effective," RFK Jr said. "You go into negative efficacy. So if you got vaccinated, you're more likely to get sick, you’re more likely to get severe illness, and you're more likely to die than if you are unvaccinated.” "False, false, false," said Jake Tapper.

The irony is that between DOGE and Trumps tariffs they’re endangering the anchor of a lot of American prosperity, which is centuries of political stability and rule of law which makes a place people want to put capital. None of these dweebs grasp that.

One of the many revelations in this piece is that routine tech crashes are ALREADY happening on Social Security Administration computers after DOGE canceled various tech contracts. www.propublica.org/article/reco...

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. Nonetheless, holy shit. What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

I disagree. I peaked in May, 2022 with this tweet:

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes. Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸
