The felon's plan to pay off J6 thugs is not just corruption, it is buying their action to go to the mat for him during & after the Nov election. If Dems win, thugs lose their payday. This isn't to reward them for the past, it's to pay them in advance for future violence.

It’s extremely funny for a guy who starred in a show where Greece looks like your friend’s backyard to say this

DOES THIS DUMB BITCH KNOW ANYTHING

Just laughing at how it’s possible for a black woman to be so beautiful and talented that she sends a racist into a six day public stroke

this is important if we care about accountability. seen more than a handful of public health folks say he deserves credit for taking a stand when he categorically did not

It’s crazy that the world’s richest dork can blast out racist filth to a hundred million people, is given the power by our government to execute on that dream, and will still be covered in the business page as a superstar business lord with a sizzling IPO coming.

This is Makary trying to make it seem principled and not the fact that his FDA was a dumpster fire that fucked up constantly and pissed off both scientists and lunatics at the same time. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Marty

We all have occassion to say this a lot in this era, but seriously this is the craziest goddamn thing I've read in a very very long time abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

NEW: A serious staffing shortage — of the Trump admin's own making — is delaying the agency's ability to send billions to universities around the country, leaving labs reeling in the meantime. “I thought we were at rock bottom”, a senior NIH official said. “We are below rock bottom now.”

Our immediate priority is to take back our Congressional majorities. But I'm also keeping an eye on the big picture: a democracy that reflects the will of the people. That means reforming SCOTUS by enforcing a code of conduct and expanding the Court to rebalance it.

Same problem in MD where 1) a blue trifecta is scared of taxes and 2) a blue trifecta does not think of state workers as coalition members or people with families but simply as costs. The result is that it's very hard to hire teachers and bus drivers right now and I have 75 kids in a UMD classroom

Spanberger (D-Langley) is vetoing collective bargaining rights for a broad swathe of VA public sector workers. It's an immense betrayal to a core part of her coalition, in a moment when they're under attack. She didn't even offer amendments but a "substitute" bill that would've delayed til 2030...

hope you like the hot stove, we are gonna spend the rest of this term — and some time after — cooking our own asses on it because the president and every single person he has appointed has not bought their own groceries since the clinton administration

As they intended. We — especially white women — need to step the fuck up and fight back.

Portland bar and club managers talk about "It" happening like medieval Europeans talked about Prester John. Times are bleak now, lads, but one elderly man's failing organs are all that stand between us and 150 million Americans launching a drinking binge.

Do it

We need to get this fucking shrek out of office

Marty Makary was the worst FDA commissioner in 25 years. I have covered the agency that long. I don't say this lightly. He failed at the political, organizational, and scientific aspects of the job. Here's why: www.statnews.com/2026/05/12/m...

Jason Collins died of glioblastoma today. He was a wonderful person. This is awful

Good luck with that business model

They’re like emergency responders who put on their siren and rush to the scene whenever Black people are trying to get representation

RSPCA Worcestershire & West Midlands branch are looking to find a home for Baked Bean, after she was dumped on a farm in the West Midlands. She was used to breed multiple litters before being dumped. She has a very caring nature www.expressandstar.com/news/mission...

Adult content helped build Kickstarter. It helps build most of the big sites on the web, only to get evicted once the business settles into the positions smut built for them. It has every right to exist and its creators deserve to participate in the social spaces their work developed.

tfw you get elected second ever president and it sucks shit

Braindead populism:

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

….

i know there are all sorts of useful implementations of the technology these chatbot companies make. but nothing i have seen has convinced me the mass availability of subsidized chatbots themselves isn't a fucking calamity of the highest order.

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

Vote this shill tf out

FDA's Marty Makary is on thin ice with the White House, the GOP, industry, staff, and the public. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

AOC: “Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post — he laid off some of the highest qualified journalists that made it an American institution so that he could turn it into a mouthpiece that launders his personal agenda & opinions”

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Welp

I don’t know how much more I can take.

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.

drives me nuts when people say prosecuting the leaders of this regime is a pipe dream. all the other democracies in the world don’t seem to have a problem doing it. we can do it too.

Witnessing southern states rush to dismantle black voting power is truly truly some heartbreaking shit to behold

I have been rewatching Game of Thrones and it’s pretty striking how the most famous plot point of the early seasons is about how you shouldn’t break deals with/needlessly antagonize irrational actors that control essential chokepoints
