The House Armed Services Committee has advanced a defense policy bill that authorizes $1.15 trillion in spending, challenges the Pentagon on officer firings and military base renaming, but formalizes the Department of War moniker. The legislation next heads to the full House for consideration.

I want to hear what @chuckborges.bsky.social has to say about this! wapo.st/4uOlIJt

After tens of thousands of people said "Hell no," the S&P reversed course on its plan to force SpaceX into everyone's retirement and college savings accounts. We still need the Nasdaq and FTSE to reverse course, but this is a huge win. #TeslaTakedown www.cnbc.com/2026/06/05/s...

New Businessweek feature: A landmark case was unearthing new revelations about Amazon's intimate, intensive regulation of drivers it claims aren't its employees. Then Trump put Amazon's former lawyer in charge www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... Based on 1000s of pages of records and 50+ interviews

CHU: Do you agree with President Trump that you also do not care about Americans' financial situation? BESSENT: Who was the president during World War 1? CHU: ... ... can you answer my question? BESSENT: Who was the president during World War 1?

Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. Internally called “NameTag,” it’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.

Musk, already the richest person in the world, is about to become the world's first trillionaire due to the upcoming SpaceX IPO with a valuation of $1.75 trillion. Regardless of your view on capitalism, I don’t think anyone should be worth $1 trillion. #TaxTheRich people.com/elon-musk-co...

#LightPollution prompts plants to shed pollen longer, increases the growth of notoriously allergenic ragweed and makes our bodies more prone to allergic reactions, from runny noses to #asthma. The difference could add up to 130 days per year to the allergy season, researchers found.

“Mr. Secretary, I may have to get you a new pair of glasses.” @marcorubio hilariously pretends not to be able to see Trump and his family are enriching themselves off the presidency.

Rep. Horsford: Do Americans deserve refunds for money collected through tariffs? Bessent: The American people had the money. It was in the U.S. Treasury

The heinous Jared & Ivanka exemplify the corruption & grift inherent throughout the entire Trump crime family. #Albania

The GRIFT never ends. Be THE VOICE of the ALBANIAN PEOPLE who WON’T ALLOW Jared & Ivanka to destroy their land. #Albania

Did he really post this? 25th Amendment

NEW: This church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest. W/ @startribune.com

UPDATE: Albanian police are now responding to protests of Jared Kushner’s luxury resort “with water cannons and tear gas.”

Very bad news. Screwworm appears to have made it to Texas, as was predicted. These parasites eat the living flesh of cattle, cause horrible pain, and can ultimately kill them. Yesterday, USDA Chief Brooke Rollins categorically denied that screwworm was close to the border.

1) Trump is lying. 2) California’s politicians really should have figured out how to speed up the vote counting, this is going to be an inexcusable vulnerability in November.

Her Le Monde obituary at least seems to be about her as a person and an artist. How lucky we were that she gave us what she could. www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

As a former prosecutor, I know what it takes to enforce the law and keep our city safe.

White House reclassifies federal epidemiologists and other scientists from civil servants to “at-will” hires www.scientificamerican.com/article/whit...

Yesterday—4 days after OMB released its proposal to revamp all federal funding—there were 3500+ comments. Today there are nearly 4,500. Our story on the damage the proposal could inflict on science and the researchers pushing back. Reported w/@marilenharo.bsky.social:

This week's episode features a conversation with legendary Latter-day Saint poet, playwright and feminist Carol Lynn Pearson.

Russel Vought should be put in prison.

Trump just signed order "reclassifying" ~8,000 civil servants so they are easier to fire for political reasons -- this has been in the works since his first term www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Trump has published the first positions subject to Schedule P/C. Of course, I am traveling and do not have time to deal with this but hopefully I can get something on @lawfaremedia.org soon. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Scott Pelley gave an impassioned speech a year ago that’s worth watching today. Kudos to him and other 60 Minutes correspondents and staff for defending the media and our democracy.

Here’s a photo I took 6 years ago today called Society Nowadays

The United States is being gutted. It’s intentional. #krasnov

Billionaires seek to become the lords of poverty, ensuring that everyone else lives under their rule.

WARNOCK: What grade you would give the economy? BESSENT: I think we have the makings for one of the strongest economies in history W: So you agree with the president. You would give the economy an A+++. Americans give the Trump economy a failing grade. You and I can disagree, but it's not about us

There is a bust of Bari Weiss at the University of Austin, which she helped found in 2021. 🥴

WARNOCK: Do you still driving deeper into debt to extend billionaire tax cuts was a good investment? BESSENT: During the Biden admin-- WARNOCK: Look, Joe Biden has been out of office for two years. The fact you keep talking about him tells you everything.

STANTON: Kushner's firm has raised more than $6b, including $1.2b over the last year. Are you aware of how much of that has been raised from foreign nationals? RUBIO: I don't know anything about it S: The answer is 99%. Are you concerned about a conflict of interest R: Jared is a private citizen

Putting together a massive collection of 990's from conservative nonprofit and dark money groups. Donors Trust is heavily funded by Leonard Leo through his 85 Fund and Marble Freedom Trust. Donors trust itself funds most of the major anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ orgs.

A win! A federal judge has temporarily stopped the Trump admin’s attempt to dismantle part of a major U.S. climate research institution. In a preliminary ruling, Judge R. Brooke Jackson blocked plans to remove a key supercomputer from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in CO.

NEWS: Just in time for the June 16 primary, yesterday a D.C. judge dismissed a 2023 lawsuit filed by the D.C. Democratic Party trying to toss out the ballot initiative that was approved by voters in 2024 to bring ranked-choice voting and semi-open primaries to city elections.

BREAKING: Don't fall for what Blanche is suggesting - DOJ is NOT getting rid of the whole bogus slush fund deal; it's still giving Trump $1,776 billion AND still giving him (and family) a broad civil release of liability; all it is NOT doing is using the $1,776 to create a fund for J6ers and others.

No lies detected from Thomas Massie.

“Correction: Ken Paxton’s home county is actually in North Dakota, and he grew up in California. But this is as close as we could get in Texas.” - @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social ’s Threads account 😂
