So, my team, The Chicago Bears, is moving to Hammond, Indiana. OK, as far as I’m concerned they can move to Hammond, but only if they change their name to The Hammond Eggs. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I’ve stored 15 years of data on DROPBOX. I need to update my credit card info, but the links on the website don’t work and the won’t send me a phone number to call.

Millions of Americans marched against the US invading Iraq under the false pretence of weapons of mass destruction. How many Americans will march against the US invading itself under the false pretence of domestic terrorism?

Wondering…DOJ is going after Comey, but why isn’t DJT demanding they bring the 2020 election saboteurs to justice? It’s almost like that election wasn’t stolen!

From TomFriedman: Trump decided to rebrand the Defense Dept as the Dept of War to more accurately reflect how tough he is. I suggest we rebrand the White House as the Waffle House to more accurately reflect Trump’s incessant waffling when it comes to actually doing something to deter Vladimir Putin

To comply with Trump’s demand to wipe slavery from national park museums, the park services is removing this photo. PLEASE DO NOT UPSET TRUMP BY REPOSTING upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...

I knew Greg Abbott would act to make sure Texas maintains the coveted title of the Number One State for Killing Kids™

The gentleman from Kentucky is right.

My hands have great bruises. The best. Sleepy Joe Biden never had bruises. Ever. A lot of people are saying my bruises are the best bruises ever. They are bruises the likes of which have never before been seen! Thank you for you attention to this mater

The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...

💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

To have this paper appear the same day that RFK Jr is canceling all mRNA vaccine funding is further indication that irony is not dead, even though we might all be soon.

What’s all the kefuffle about the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Our Dear Leader has the wisdom of God, and will lead us little lambs to slaught…I mean green pastures. A lot of people are saying they’re the greenest pastures ever. So green why would anyone want to see the Epstein files?

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Chronic, venial insufficiency? That’s an understatement!!!

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Climate change triggers cascading feedbacks: heat expands mosquito range, biodiversity loss erodes control, pesticides poison what’s left. It’s one crisis unraveling everything, loop by loop. www.yahoo.com/news/health-...

Invasion success among insects is unevenly distributed and strongly influenced by both taxonomic identity and trophic group, with herbivorous Hemiptera and Thysanoptera notably over-represented among non-native species. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neob...

It's still May, and Manitoba & Saskatchewan have declared states of emergency due to wildfires. Great explainer here from @thenarwhal.ca 👇 Manitoba is at the epicentre of the 2025 wildfire season. Why here? Why now?: thenarwhal.ca/manitoba-wil...

holy shit

Who else wants the networks to hire Fr. Guido Sarducci at chief conclave correspondent?

Right?

"A report by economists at American University in Washington DC estimates that a 50% reduction in federal science funding would reduce the US gross domestic product by approximately 7.6%." Science is an amazing engine of economic activity and progress for the US ... or at least it was.

"We are experiencing an unprecedented volume of calls" Since you have gone to the trouble to record a message for exactly this scenario, this seems unlikely to be true.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

What happened to Little Marco?

Eight months ago, I packed up my life and moved across the country for a job with USDA. After seven years of study and training, I was excited to use the skills I had developed—and excited to serve my country in a way that mattered—protecting our nation’s food crops from insect pests. (1)

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X. Everybody dies.
