Chip chip! Chip chip!

He’s getting rolled. I can’t wait to see what this is. It’ll either be JPCOA II (but with Trump’s signature, not that other guy) or it’ll be Trump selling the store to get a nickel. Either way, it’s going to be ridiculous.

Shout out to Aaron Parnas, who has been working to save many of the DOJ files the administration is trying to delete.

Reminder that Trump cut your health care, food assistance, and emergency preparedness programs because they cost Americans "too much." So where does the $1 billion White House ballroom fall?

Will they be paying restitution for the damage they caused to the building out of their rewards??

I like how every data centre proposal has to include how it's not going to be as horrifying on the environment as you'd think rather than what societal benefit it'll provide in exchange for strangling the last of our dwindling resources

Us strategy in Iran

EXCLUSIVE: While Russia and Ukraine are at a stalemate... ...the Christian right is scoring huge victories in Ukraine:

Memorial Day is a U.S. holiday that’s supposed to be about mourning the nation’s fallen service members, but it’s come to anchor the unofficial start of summer and a long weekend of travel and discounts on anything from mattresses to lawn mowers.

because I know y’all can’t click and read

Personally, my most elderly-coded opinion is that every student who gets caught using AI to cheat should be locked in the library without wifi until they finish their term paper using only a manual typewriter and a stack of leatherbound encyclopedias... marypezzulo.substack.com/p/my-most-el...

Hands up if you know what they're talking about.

We're in a situation where the Secret Service will periodically snipe somebody from the White House roof and hit "bystanders."

It fascinates me that Van Gogh painted sunflowers and Monet painted sunflowers and Georgia O'Keeffe painted sunflowers, and all their paintings are totally different, and I learn something new about sunflowers whenever I look at one.

In all seriousness, the Longaberger Basket Company was very interesting. Most MLMs sell overpriced garbage, but Longaberger actually made very sturdy good quality baskets if you care about baskets. Most MLM leaders are swindlers but Longaberger seems like he was just eccentric and nice.

I'll be genuinely sad if it gets torn down. More office buildings need to be weird representations of the products they sell, like Busytown.

I've always wanted to be a basket case!

What do I have to do to get a billion dollars? Storm the capitol? Be the murderous dictator of a middle Eastern country?

It’s almost as if the Iranians had occupied the capitol

And it will take months for there to be anything like normalcy in gas prices, and by then the fertilizer crisis will have meant a food crisis. I'm furious.

I am very sorry for her and all normal people who were alarmed and scared by the gunshots. But I'm also so sick of the constant "he was almost assassinated, trollolol actually no he wasn't" cycle that I want to throw my phone in the toilet.

It's a day ending in Y, and there's another fake assassination attempt.

In 700 years @oldenoughtosay.com ‘s great-great-great grandchild will be on social media telling people “you can’t call somebody a ‘trump’ just because you don’t like them! A trump is a gluttonous pædophile. You have to be both to be called a ‘trump.’ The word you’re looking for is ‘pence.’”

I finally found it! The pot at the end of the rainbow!

That would be truly amazing.

Trump can’t remember when he was president.

On the reported terms of the agreement. But let's wait and see what the deal is, shall we? The terms now circulating are considerably worse for the US than the JSPOA was, so they reflect a pretty humiliating turn of affairs.

This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.

You know who was an object of particular hatred for White Aryan Resistance in the 1990s? The SPLC, which did a lot of great work and is getting noticed more and more these days. Note the familiar trollish claim that the SPLC were the REAL white supremacists. This is April 1993.

“.. Elon Musk gleefully boasted about feeding the United States Agency for International Development into a ‘wood chipper.’ “.. An Ebola outbreak in the region in 2018 took nearly two years to contain. .. This time around, we have far less capacity to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/o...

🚨 The Trump DOJ has now moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and several other Oath Keepers who participated in the January 6th insurrection — with prejudice — meaning the charges cannot be brought again.

Under the terms laid out by the administration, a five-member panel would distribute a colossal pot of money — “Anti-Weaponization Fund” — largely shielded from public scrutiny, outside of any evident oversight, and answerable only to Trump and his appointees. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Jon Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, the first family's wealth is growing by billions. Because they're crooks. And everybody knows it." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Abrego García should apply for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” How many other people have a district court ruling actually *finding* vindictive prosecution?

The Montana Plan is bipartisan, common-sense, and one of the best opportunities in a long time to put Citizens United where it belongs: in the ashbin of history.

While we slept the DOJ deleted all press releases about charges against January 6 defendants: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Watch: Joined The National on Canada’s CBC News to chat with Eli Glasner how Trump is cashing in on his presidency. 📺️🇨🇦 youtu.be/0ompkdVfelQ?...

“Powerus is flush with cash and…says there is no problem with it bidding for government money that could make [Trumps] richer.” @starsandstripes.bsky.social “It’s corruption. Government decision makers will feel pressure to use contract awards to enrich [Trump’s] family.” @kathleenclark.bsky.social

"Can we trust the United States?" former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen asks former US defence secretary Mark Esper at #GlobSec2026. "Yes, Europe can trust the US" Esper replies. This is followed by a long silence in the room. "Where's the clap?" Esper asks the audience.

The National Weather Service just put out a flood advisory and severe thunderstorm warning. Here's how to stay safe, New York.  Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 to sign up for NYC emergency alerts and find more information at nyc.gov/floodprep.

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

FLAG: The Trump Justice Department is now acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection — calling the information about the prosecutions "partisan propaganda" (it is not).

Every state should take a page out of Hawaii’s playbook on tackling Citizens United

I was just an hour ago in the car with 14-year-old Adrienne, grumping about five dollar gas and telling her about Reagan taking the solar panels off the White House, and Adrienne said "and now we're getting a ballroom."

According to this, consumer sentiment is lower than 1980, a year that consumer sentiment was so low that Americans abandoned the New Deal for Voodoo Economics (aka trickle-down, aka Reaganomics aka Neoliberalism, profit over people).

Oh my God... Stephen Colbert did an hour-long program on Michigan public access last night with sidekick Jack White and guest Jeff Daniels...
