On top of all of the other monumental screw-ups, a news exec locked away in her tower is not a good look. Incredible.

Brooke Rollins says the screwworm is around for at least a couple months

Brooke Rollins says it’s “insanity” to not report cases of a disease after they are detected 🤔

Uh, yeah. And where are these rescued pilots? Not just these, but the other rescue?

This Minnesota fraudster doesn't look Somali.

Phillip still being nice to the liar is what I'm saying.

Tyre.

Israel has issued an evacuation order to the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon.

Turek: It is a scary place to be a farmer in Iowa right now. We lead the nation in farm foreclosures. Everywhere we go, we’re hearing farmers talk about betrayal. You go into these rural communities, the Trump signs and Trump flags are coming down.

Trump on being booed at the NBA Finals: I think it was mostly cheers. It was loud. And it was very enthusiastic

Know your evils. TRUMP: CHAOTIC EVIL (evil intent and a joy in corruption, malice and destruction). MUSK: NEUTRAL EVIL (evil effect but all actions taken in service of self-interest, with the suffering of others immaterial). BEZOS: LAWFUL EVIL (mastery at using the levers of power for evil ends).

Oh man, even more World Cup team travel headaches... 4. "more than a dozen" Iran team staff denied visas 5. Swiss player denied boarding flight in Zurich, still working it out 6. South Africa delayed travel over staff visas, but later took blame Begs question: How much of this is "normal"?

Trump gets booed and heckled out of New York City as he departs Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HOLD ELECTED OFFICE TO NOT DO AND SAY THINGS THAT WILL MAKE LIFE WORSE FOR TRANS KIDS. TRANS KIDS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR POLITICAL AMBITIONS.

I would really love for a campaigning Dem to say "I think the 'question' of whether transgender people deserve healthcare is a non-issue Republicans trot out to distract from their own repeatedly demonstrated position that raping children is fine if you're rich and connected."

oh it's outside texas already

The details about the Tate brothers in this incredible @newyorker.com profile of them are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and are also protected by the "conservative" MAGA movement www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Trump takes a long blink during the NBA Finals

BOOOOOOOOOOO

I say this as someone who loves the WC more than any other sporting event: every team should get on a plane home right now. Or all the games should be rescheduled for 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽. The USMNT should be disqualified now & suspended from the next WC. Or, we can start acting like a serious country of adults.

Cruz: "They don't care if he's a sexual predator. They just want power."

BREAKING: DDHQ calls it: Becerra and Hilton will advance to the general election.

🚨 BREAKING: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ERUPTS IN BOOS AS DONALD TRUMP IS SHOWN ON SCREEN

Presidents don’t do military salutes for the national anthem, but, of course, he is One Special Boy

Tim Scott is on Hannity's show doing some over the top simping for Lindsey Graham ahead of his primary tomorrow. I didn't think Graham was in any trouble -- until just now.

“POTUS was thunderously booed when he was shown on the Jumbotron during the National anthem.”

"de-South-ification"!

I won't believe a Democrat can win statewide in Texas until one actually does, but it's pretty clear that Texas Republicans have a real problem on their hands

The Albanian uprising against Trump crime family grifters Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump is truly remarkable.

Garcia: This island that is now apparently being developed by Jared and Ivanka. They’re just openly talking about buying islands, building an enormous compound. What they’ll do on these compounds, I don’t know. Epstein had his own island. I guess the Trumps want their own island too.

(📢) BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump's Pentagon Has Just Declared Mormons Non-Christians, Spitting in the Face of a Voting Bloc Whose Loyalty to Trump Now Seems Like a Successful Long Con By the Serial Rapist, Atheist, and Notorious Hater of Organized Religion

Just an FYI from ChatGPT:

lol Trump stomped on NBC's microphone when he stormed out of his Meet the Press interview (watch for it 6 seconds into this clip)

QUICK: How are farmers faring these days given higher fertilizer prices and diesel prices? BROOKE ROLLINS: There was almost a 40% increase in input prices under the last administration, no new trade deals under Biden (note the complete lack of pushback from CNBC hosts who just let her rant... )

"But Trump is good for Israel", they mutter as they hastily make their way down the stairs to the bomb shelter.

🚨 Iran has launched ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Airbase—home to U.S. troops—according to Israel’s Channel 12, as retaliation Israel’s latest strikes on Iran

5. That's only the latest iteration. I went to the Bluesky feed of Aaron Rupar, founder of Public Notice. Aaron watches most of Trump's public appearances. I searched for "cognitive." On May 22, during a rally, Trump said: bsky.app/profile/atru...

4. "I do physicals because I think I have an obligation to do it. I took a cognitive test and I got 100 percent on it. The doctors told me very, very few people can ace it. It's actually a tough test." bsky.app/profile/atru...

Iranian missiles heading towards northern Israel.

Ugh even when network TV does something good & is actually adversarial & forceful like it should be, it has to add a caveat so they don’t seem “biased” - in this case “we both acknowledged the complications” of the rain in setting up the interview. What does that fucking mean & who gives a shit?!

Just once I would love to see the male journalists in the White House press corps tell Trump to his face to shut the fuck up with this misogynistic crap. The women shouldn’t be expected to do it on their own.

Trump to Welker: "Listen to me"

he looks like he lives on a hot dog roller

The booing will be incredible

The sinking feeling we have that none of these guys will ever spend a night in prison lies in the fact that, deep down, we know that if Democrats retake power and hint at prosecutions, Republicans will threaten violence and Dems will likely back down. The implication of that can't be understated.

"The on-camera dozing sessions are just one sign of Trump’s growing ailments, which are certainly not helped by staying up all night binging on a Truth Social algo feeding him a unhealthy buffet of Trump-worshipping AI slop, conspiracies, and Boomer meme garbage." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.

(PS) What this digital gremlin—one of the world's great bottom-feeders—needs to do is explain why she was *so pissed off* at the prior state of the Pool, which looked exactly the same at night as it does in the AI picture she posted here Here it is during the Biden inauguration:
