UPDATE: L.L.Bean YOUR voices were heard. After significant pushback from the outdoor community, L.L. Bean is joining the Save the Forest Service movement. Their LinkedIn statement says it all:

It's so bad they won't even brief Congress.

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

Dems running for the Senate posted some massive fundraising hauls in the first quarter. The most striking number so far: James Talarico brought in $27 million over the past three months.

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

The only reason given by Jeanine Pirro to vacate the seditious conspiracy charges is because she said so. "...because the United States has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice."

Witness the breathtaking moment as two juvenile blue whales surface together in the ocean. A rare glimpse of these magnificent giants in their natural habitat.

“The term ‘climate crisis,’ which carries with it a more urgent connotation than the more familiar ‘climate change,’ has nearly disappeared from media lexicon.”

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

Seems like they could’ve had this at a coffee shop

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like. [Via @itep.org]

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium. The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike. Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

This is exciting! They may have found a cure for ovarian & uterine cancers 🤞🤞 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

"If I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican" is pretty over the top even for a narcissist like Trump. Everything is always about Trump, even the selection of the Pope. He can't imagine a world that isn't all about him.

Welcome to a slightly more than unhinged edition of the MAGA Minute. Today, Trump accuses the Pope of being soft on crime. Editor’s Note: The world’s 1.4 billion Catholics will give his opinion all the attention it deserves. #RadioFreeAmerica

Watching BBC and the celebration in Budapest is ENORMOUS.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

Starting to think maybe the president doesn't understand the problem he's created.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Los Angeles at the ICE Detention Center

I watched the video. That’s definitely what he said!

Just read it and decide for yourself. I think it is spot on, 💯. It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🚨"F*CK ICE! F*CK ICE! F*CK ICE!" protesters chant outside Broadview ICE Facility near Chicago for National F*ck Ice Day. Protesters are waving around sex toys to mock ICE agents. WATCH US LIVE 🔽

What a sad admission. One of my favorite places I ever lived was in Brooklyn in an area that was basically Little Bangladesh. I loved that neighborhood and would move back in a heartbeat. I never felt unsafe, I had good relations with my neighbors, and the food was great.

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

#Caturday Cookie update. Doing great. Got a little brushing today & is starting to realize ear scritches are pretty amazing. Working towards his possible move to Canada. We're giving him some time to settle after his surgery. His new mum has some stuff to do to get his new home ready. More soon 🩷

Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over." *thunderous applause*

Pointing out Congressional inaction on impeachment is not mean. It is not partisan. It's factual, because we observe their actions. We can either fix this by pressuring them to do their jobs or by voting them all out, but it must be fixed. Soon. Country over party, folks. Demand better.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

NEWS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers were forced to turn back while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened them and launched a drone toward the ships, per Bloomberg citing a regional intelligence official. 1/

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.
