The heads of the library system testified on Tuesday that they have a projected shortfall of funding for FY27 of over $36 million. I sincerely wish people were paying attention. This is reason #1 million why flat funding this year is NOT a win.

A Federal Reserve survey finds more Americans going hungry now than during COVID. 10% of households are missing meals because they can’t afford it, & nearly 16% relied on food donations. In Augusta, GA, food banks have 2-to 3-mile lines and people sleeping in their cars. www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

my confidence that these people are going to lose is rising and my estimate of the amount of damage they are going to do on the way out, especially as they realize they're losing, is also rising

Matter-of-factly about the president trading stock, no big deal, it's normal, business as usual.

Beginning in 1934, the Reich Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, never denied the existence of concentration camps, instead he defended them as necessary to defend the blood and honor of the German people from murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers.

Obviously criminals deserve humane conditions but also ALMOST NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTED VIOLENT CRIMES

Republicans say this stuff all the time. Robin Vos says things like this in WI. But now it's not just "Democrats' votes shouldn't count." It's also "Democrats shouldn't even get to vote." And yet, somehow, our entire National Conversation™️ is always about how Democrats don't reach out to Real Folkz.

Why would they? They agree.

All of it is just people starving

They're so terrible at this and it never seems to matter.

I agree with Scott Bessent that Congress should take a vote about putting Trump's face on currency. Let's get every Republican on record about it.

Meanwhile the federal government is paying reparation to literal child sex offenders

Yea that's horrifying, but also not different than anyone in Republican leadership.

I'm sorry, is this supposed to be a big deal let alone newsworthy? With the shit they say every day? www.newsweek.com/who-is-pauli...

Or they're just lying. 10 years from now watch how many people say they never voted for Trump.

Here in the Denver area there's always air force activity with Buckley out in the exurbs but in the last few days there's been a lot more. Maybe a new war coming up? Cuba?

Once again, extra judicial murders in your name, on your dime. Contact Congress. This is unconstitutional & more war crimes. We still haven't seen the full video of the first murders. #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy #DV1

I've been warning about this moment for two decades over at Techdirt The U.S. is too corrupt to regulate data brokers (and their exploitation and sale of location data) and the check has come due

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

as much as i appreciate the democrats responding with vigor for once, the fact that republicans are using "transgender" as a slur for a political candidate is fucking horrifying and dems need to quickly figure out a way to address it head on. calling stephen miller ugly isn't a long-term fix.

And he'll break the law, lose, and be humiliated again.

Vibe is intensifying

If you're really about free speech you'll stand in the middle of a Nazi circle jerk and just get splattered.

Quite a brilliant bit of gamesmanship. I know there were a good number of them from CO. So I expect Polis to not take this up and maybe start up his own compensation fund.

It's hard to quantify the level of cynicism and evil when you create a DOJ "weaponization" fund and then days later sic the DOJ on your rape victim. That level of pure skullduggery is pretty rare. Stalin would approve.

Also, I would like to call for an immediate end to any media outlet calling Carroll "one of Trump's enemies." She is the woman he raped.

Oh I get this one. He hasn't paid her. So he drummed this up as a bargaining chip. He'll drop it if she drops demand for payment I guess? I sincerely hope she tells him to get fucked.

And it's treated as semi-normal by the media covering it.

Right, with Trump they rationalized that God had used imperfect people to do his will in the Bible, and this was no different than, say, King David. With Paxton, they're trying to pretend the crooked criminal serial adulterer who just set a pedophile free is Actually The Real Christian™

GEO chose to bribe Jim Jordan via means other than a Cava bag. www.pogo.org/investigates...

“Here's a stat for you — If somebody abused women & girls with Jeffrey Epstein, they are literally more likely to be hired by Trump's administration than prosecuted by it”

the entire paxton campaign is just gonna be republicans calling talarico gay over and over then offering coy denials when called on it and accusing the libs of being to sensitive when they call it out bsky.app/profile/came...

Trump threatened to “blow up” one of our staunchest allies in the Middle East today and I couldn’t find it about it on the homepage of the Times, Journal, or Post

What we’re seeing is “respectable” conservatives openly moving to the position that the *only* acceptable form of Christianity is one rooted in white Christian nationalism.

Trump's son (Don Jr.) just married the daughter of Epstein's accountant. That's how close those connections still are. The Epstein Class will spit in your face and tell you it is raining.

This is a map of land surface temperatures across Europe yesterday. Multiple heat records are being broken and it's only late May. This is climate change, and it is here. But don't lose sight of the fact that a few thousand oil executives and politicians made a LOT of money in getting us here.

Funny story: 13 is the same number of service members who died in the pullout from Afghanistan, for which Biden received brutal bipartisan media coverage for months

well when you put it like that, of course it sounds bad

Oh this bill is really, really bad. You would be charged under trafficking offenses if you have a roommate who does sex work, if you help a trafficking survivor create an escape fund, and you would be permanently banned from some jobs such social work or nursing

So are we basically saying that when AI companies use their AI to impose a sort of congestion pricing on clients hooked on AI for cutting Human Resources costs, they will end up extracting more or less the same amount of money previously spent on Human Resources? www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

The culture war stuff is always substance free and we all have a coworker/neighbor/relative who parrots it and thinks it's more important than healthcare, food, and gas.

Real Christians know God has a massive, swinging cock. They think about it a lot. Throbbing and pulsing and he watches them.

Wait do Republicans think God has a dick... That he has to like wash and stuff?

Clearly

He does know that Patton wasn't a role model or hero in the movie right?

The subtext here is they landed on blaming immigrants for a 2 trillion deficit That’s the play It’s all Somali daycare operators’s fault
