Remember when we had millionaires and a strong NASA? Now we have billionaires and NASA has to fight for funds to send astronauts around the moon and back. What has SpaceX accomplished besides burning through our cash without oversight?

At least 10 Trump officials hold as much as $43.8M in stock in Elon Musk's SpaceX or in xAI. That means the SpaceX IPO — which will make Musk a trillionaire — would also directly enrich Trump's lackeys. SpaceX has been boosted by over $10B in government contracts since 2025. See the problem here?

Newly released Fox News poll shows Sherrod Brown (D) leading Sen. Jon Husted (R) by 8 points in the red state of Ohio.

Shoutout to every single BLUE dot 🔵 in deep RED states 🟥. Your vote carries outsized power — and it’s making a real difference. Thank you for fighting where it matters most. You’re true heroes. We see you. We appreciate you. Keep showing up! 💙 #VoteBlue

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

Unprecedented results against a stubbornly hard-to-treat cancer are boosting optimism that other challenging tumors will be next

🚨🚨🚨 Bill Pulte was picked to join Blanche, Patel, Hegseth, and Mullin to be ready to help Trump stay in power no matter what. Are congressional Democrats to a degree missing the forest for trees? Do they appreciate that their #1 task is to confront this threat? open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

This is really important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…” and its members believe deeply in “principles such as the rule of law, checks and balances, and the peaceful transition of power.” Follow @astronauts4america.bsky.social

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Any account saying they have the right to complain even though they don’t vote should STFU. Voting is the MINIMUM you should be doing if you want to have a say in how your government functions. That’s the floor. A true democracy requires more. Much more.

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.

Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was arrested on May 30, 1927, during a violent disturbance surrounding a Ku Klux Klan parade in Jamaica, New York.

Wow! This is a huge advance in cancer treatment. My former boss has been working on something similar for years. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

James Talarico’s girlfriend is Brianna Menard. Her ancestor co-founded Galveston & signed the Texas declaration of independence. Michael B. Menard also has a county named after him. Talarico is a 9th generation Texan and sounds and feels like Texas. His opponent, Ken Paxton, is from Minot, N.D

Big progress vs cancer, folks. The kind of event curves from randomized trials that we've not seen before for a couple of the most deadly cancers. Congrats to the oncology research community for getting these trial done.

Scientists engineered biocompatible lipid-shell nanocarriers to encapsulate the enzymes, allowing them to travel through the bloodstream undetected by the immune system. The dissolve the mechanical blockage and restore blood flow without requiring a single invasive incision or stent deployment.

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

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

One of the greatest Kennedy Center Honors performances ever: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Jason Bonham on drums, and Shane Fontayne on electric guitar. It moved Robert Plant to tears as he watched alongside Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. (Edited for format)

There are people who actually say that a voter should not vote for the person who is the less than ideal candidate in preference to the worst one because supposedly you never get progress that way. VOTING FOR THE BETTER OF THE TWO IS HOW EVERY BIT OF PROGRESS HAS EVER BEEN MADE. Sheesh.

Oof

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

Danish Pension Fund Blacklists SpaceX. Previously, dumped US Treasuries over Trump's threat to Greenland. It says Spacex is “grossly overvalued”, and has “catastrophic governance structure” as Elon Musk strives to be a trillionaire. Any chance of City of London growing a backbone? archive.ph/dsVfR

If you believe that not voting sends a message, you’re wrong. It just shows you’re out of touch. If you want change, you must go to the voting booth. Voting is your constitutional right to make changes to your government. Register to vote, help a neighbor, help someone get ID and register to vote

Jesus. Stop watching CBS. I don’t care that you love 60 Minutes. This company is in dumps back pocket and no longer stands for journalistic excellence. STOP WATCHING CBS.

Denmark has announced plans for an ambitious #renewableenergy project known as the North Sea Energy Island. The project is designed to serve as a central hub for #offshorewind farms and distribute large amounts of clean electricity to surrounding countries. #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

While we struggle to pay the highest electricity prices in Europe, Australia is pioneering a revolution in home renewables and battery use, causing huge price drops. A perfect example of how the wellbeing of people and planet *can* be dovetailed. share.google/xMhW48OyxXUF...

"Turkey is now home to one of the biggest solar facilities in the world as well as one of Europe's largest battery storage pipelines. Since 2022, the country has required new wind and solar projects to be paired with equivalent battery capacity."

Stephen Colbert has absolutely no reason to do it, and ABC probably wouldn’t want the FCC headache, but it would be very funny if he spent Kimmel’s annual summer vacation guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! until Labor Day.

So, apparently you can alter history. At least you can try.

“In effect, today’s corporations and wealthy are hoarding the society’s resources for themselves, while starving the treasury of funds that are badly needed for repairing and strengthening the society on which their wealth depends.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Another super blinkey afternoon for gramps. Poor guy is just operating on fumes

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

Redistribute their wealth

I just got home from voting. Midterm primary runoff. Three words that are each guaranteed to lower voter turnout. I voted anyway. Don't pass up a chance to vote, folks. It's one of the few chances us ordinary people get to influence things.

Married (at the time) family values man Ken Paxton takes a business trip to south FL.

Our government telling an adversary to disregard the President's social media posts because they're not real and are intended for promotional purposes and US media consumption, says it all. Holy fuck.

🚨If a state is making it harder for your family to vote, why reward them with your talent and your NIL money? I said what I said. You can still make it to the NFL, NBA, or anywhere else without propping up politicians attacking democracy and voting rights.

Dear @kenmartin.bsky.social, This isn’t rocket science. The platform and communications need to be ‘living wages, anti-corruption impeachments, Green New Deal, and Expanding the Supreme Court. You will win with those messages. Dump the corporate consultants and the lobbying groups… #dncreport
