Un-FREAKING-believable the State is now in the business of protecting raw milk producers responsible for sickening Idahoans 🤬

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

This is very close to the calls for people to take faster showers to save water while industrial use is allowed to grow unchecked. Occam's razor becomes a broadsword here: don't prompt better; rather, don't prompt at all

A new study has found that the National Guard's presence in Washington, D.C. had no effect on violent crime in the city. The Guard has been deployed since last August as part of a federal task force to fight crime, and their numbers are set to double in the coming weeks. n.pr/3PWDxqK

a Very Special Episode of "to keep functioning, a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities"

This has been the default centrist Dem strategy my entire life: never attack Dems to your right, endlessly critique Dems to your left. The end result has been backsliding governance, rising fascism and corruption, and GOP control over every branch of gov't. Then again, maybe that's what they want.

The president is admitting that it's a partisan event here, so it shouldn't be getting any more federal funding. He can pay for it himself.

I would really like for outlets to, after stating the government’s allegations, at least mention the fact that the car ran into us. An ICE agent drove into a crowd. Of people. Who were peacefully protesting. And then the government tried to paint us as a lawless mob.

Imagine visiting a pristine nature sanctuary for birds and turtles, a piece of protected marshland thats ecologically irreplaceable and thinking, "wow, I should own this. I should build a shitty hotel for my rich friends here and destroy it." These people are fucking ghouls.

“There quarters of workers not paid enough to save enough to retire on” There, headline fixed.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

Also anyone with any actual experience managing a newsroom knows that if you have real reporters in your bullpen they will confront you with real questions about your intentions. If you can’t handle it, you have no business managing a newsroom.

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."

Imagine if any Republican Senator had the courage of Scott Pelley.

At long last, there will be justice for every man in America who was very unfairly told no,” said the president, noting that all heterosexual males could claim up to $5 million each by documenting abuses such as being denied a second date

The Paramount website lists 8 people as 60 Minutes correspondents. As of right now, only 4 remain.

Peabo Bryson, the iconic singer-songwriter behind the Oscar-winning Disney songs "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World," has died at 75 www.tmz.com/2026/06/02/p...

if any senator had chosen to be the one guy who voted against every single trump nominee, they would be the front runner for 2028 right now

this is the most pathetic-ass letter i have ever seen

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

I'm not sure "hey, we're not just banning trans people from toilets, we're also banning them from vital support after they've been sexually assaulted or raped" is exactly the flex The Guardian seem to think it is. Fucking vile humans.

"Targeting civilians & civilian buildings is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I. The double-tap tactic, timing a second strike to hit rescuers, is separately prosecutable as an attack on protected persons. Major Yarmolenko's death illustrates both in a single event."

Our long national nightmare of monitoring coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global climate is coming to an end.

Laptops don’t improve outcomes. iPads don’t improve outcomes. AI doesn’t improve outcomes. What improves outcomes? More and better trained teachers!! Smaller classrooms! We’ve KNOWN this FOREVER

For anyone counting: 1,055 Project 2025 recommendations have been implemented out of 1,913.

The richest assholes told the government to cripple the agency that collects taxes so they don’t have to pay anything, and they did it

Underpants and the junk that goes inside is all these perverts ever think about. In my day, they used to be too ashamed to utter these thoughts out loud because other people might hear them.

New rule, if you're a "how is diversity our strength???" dipshit you are not allowed to root for the team whose star player is an agnostic biracial frenchman representing a majority hispanic city bsky.app/profile/eric...

what this shows is that it has always been within the power of congressional republicans to say no to this man, and they must be held accountable for all the times they did not

a small part of the problem with AI is that even if you see good use cases for the technology, focusing on them is a little like saying radiotherapy is going to be great for treating cancer while stores still have radium toothpaste on the shelves www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

EAMON JAVERS Do you think the negotiations are over now? PRESIDENT TRUMP I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.

Yeah we gotta regulate this shit immediately.

It is truly insane to me that my elected representatives march with an enthusiastic genocidaire and still think they are owed my support

The SEC has formally proposed scrapping the rule that would have required publicly traded companies to disclose their climate-related risks to investors.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

The Coolidge coin is actually quite a rare collectible precisely because the public didn't like it and the Treasury eventually melted most of them down. As a result, the rule against living persons on coins was instituted soon thereafter.

This becomes even an even bigger problem when the mainstream media confuses prestigious R1s (Ivies+) with "all of US higher ed." It enables the devaluation of teaching work even more that the "most successful" faculty at the most prestigious institutions don't want to do it.

As with everything that every Republican says these days, there are two interpretations: 1. It's a lie. 2. Taking it at face value is even worse. Here, it's a lie, Trump tried and failed to weaken their military. But at face value it's admitting war crimes, i.e. we only targeted civilians.

Also I think what they're doing is trying to redefine vice as masculine-coded because that's all Paxton has to offer. Sure he's as charismatic as a tree stump but he lies, cheats and steals and that's alpha.

In which the NYT employs five bylined reporters to show how a series of seemingly small regulatory changes are part of a single campaign, driven by one person, to immiserate thousands. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Former human rights lawyer here: under international human rights law, bombing or gassing a medical facility is a crime against humanity. Last night, the NJ state police gassed the medic tent at Delaney Hall over and over and over again until medics had to abandon it and flee for their lives.

Conservatism has defined itself in such a way that if a conservative were truly to become an artist they would of necessity no longer be conservative; it's an ideology opposed to humanity itself so it is disengaged from human art. This is why even to the degree they enjoy art they misunderstand it.

Can conservatives make art? Yeah maybe, but not so long as one of the core identity markers for "conservative" is open contempt for art, the artists who make it, and the craft they employ to make it, nor as long as their interaction with art is reduced to a desire to either crush or commodify it.

That's my senator.

god I wish Ed Markey were not 79 years old but he is absolutely still the superior choice to Seth fucking Moulton
