Trump: “Let them eat ballroom.”

The clearest proof that sexual orientation is inborn, and not a choice, is that there are any straight women left in the world at all.

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

You may not have noticed, but we certainly have

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son quietly landed a political appointee job as a lawyer in the Treasury Department early last year — posing a potential conflict of interest as courts wrestle with challenges to Trump's deal to avoid future tax audits and the new slush fund to enrich his allies.

And what a great chart

The four most notorious words in finance: this time is different

Always need to be fiscally responsible right after the giant tax cut and the unnecessary war

One reason people would be surprised to hear that Trump has left Iran’s “military alone” is that earlier this month Trump said he had “completely destroyed Iran’s army,” and that “every single ship they had is resting underwater at the bottom of the sea.”

After defense officials got a request to push through a deal with a firm tied to Donald Trump Jr., Pentagon staff moved at an unusually rapid pace. “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.

i think this is accurate and worth thinking about. A D vs D governor's race would all-but guarantee a wipeout of Rs in all the competitive House seats in CA and in a bunch of other swingy downballot races

Show me you shouldn’t be a Princeton professor without, etc

Yes, yes we do Because you won’t

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

Imagine if he’d had these during the 2020 BLM protests

clark kent is gonna grow up a red sox fan 😤

Again, the Trump slush fund is to pay the J6 militia and (thus) recruit the next one Also the pardons and the current effort to throw out convictions

I was already pretty excited about Jimmy Talarico but this is an amazing endorsement (?)

The problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.

“The way to bring down housing costs is to increase housing supply. The initiative to create a statewide lot-size minimum would help accomplish this.There is a larger principle here. States should not outsource their housing policy to local governments that tend to have a bias toward the status quo”

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

yes, this! “the ‘unitary executive’ is, quite simply, incompatible with a theory of checks and balances.”

This is Eddie. He has been waving for over a decade and has gotten pretty good. Can even do it with both paws. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: the_adorable_eddie)

Justice survives only when the law applies to everyone. A society ceases to be free the moment some are placed beyond accountability.

State police on horseback and in riot gear are now charging at protestors at Delaney Hall. They are attacking protestors just like ICE. Mikie Sherrill should be ashamed.

She said she asked to bring her American-born son with her when she was deported to Honduras. Instead, the two were split up, and he was put in someone else's custody and beaten to death. Heartbreaking dispatch from the 3-year-old's funeral www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

the bus. you've once again invented the bus.

More insider trading relating to defense contracts.

What's really astonishing is not the far right authoritarian party doing this, but the near-total lack of <loud public collective action> by university chancellors & presidents to oppose this existential crisis. Almost impossible to overstate how total a failure of leadership this is.

NEW: Trump's gross Aliens.gov site claims to map where immigrants have been taken into custody, but it includes more 83 spots where Americans alone were arrested. Over 700 locations include citizen arrests. The counter is fake. The music was ripped. And Puerto Rico is listed as a foreign country.

Update: The White House got back to us after publication to say it had updated the website to exclude a "handful" of arrests by Homeland Security Investigations. A review of the updated aliens.gov data shows they deleted 270,214 arrests.

Two nights ago, I told the ICE agents in front of Delaney Hall that this was the most violence I had experienced from them. They were surprised it wasn’t Minnesota, where many of them had also been deployed, or Chicago.

Corruption and lack of ethical boundaries go hand in hand, even at SCOTUS.

Agree and of these, I like Project for a Third Reconstruction

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

I think about this a lot.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

Just in past 24 hours: -Criminal investigation of E. Jean Carroll -Subpoenas seeking info of ICE critics -Former judges demand inquiry into IRS "deal" -White House intervention leads to $600+M deal to family-linked firm -Monuments, pictures on currency Turning us into a tinpot authoritarian state

let trans kids play sports let trans kids do things with their friends let trans kids participate normally in society

these bans, however, aren't even based on athletes like lia they are mostly aimed at a tiny handful of trans girls who aren't even serious athletes at all and mostly want to do shit like "play field hockey with their friends" they're performative cruelty aimed at the most vulnerable among us

This is Ramona. She was found as a stray on the side of the road with her leg bone completely broken in half, making it difficult to walk or even move comfortably. She needs surgery to live pain-free. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹 1510.fan/ramona-bsd

Trump couldn’t buy the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for $25B, so now he’s offering $300B in reparations. Art of the deal.

the clear takeaway here is that the administration wants to unlawfully seize the smithsonian and make it a temple for white supremacist “history” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/a...

Your periodic reminder that cretinous Trump sycophant Rep. Andy Ogles, whose district Republicans just further gerrymandered to protect, raised $25K from a Go Fund Me to create a cemetery and park for stillborn babies and their families. He took the money and never built the park.

Incredible work

NEW: When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came directly from the White House.

Eviscerating our institutions, replacing the rule of law with the rule of a man, will harm every Conservative and every Liberal American. The Bureau of Printing official who sacrificed her job rather than participate in this is a national hero.

Post of the day

It‘s inexplicable that after a decade the NY Times is still swallowing the Trump regime‘s disinformation and puking it back up for the public. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, despite this headline that ran last weekend.

Wow!
