Senior researchers at a meeting of the American Diabetes Association were handing out copies of an editorial, published in the association's journal, condemning Trump administration cuts to diabetes research. Police came to arrest them. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/w...

Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

The default assumption should be that anything that this administration says is a lie until proven otherwise. Tяump lies about everything.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

The World Health Organization declared the Ebola disease outbreak in Congo and Uganda a public health emergency of international concern. Here’s what to know about the health crisis:

The Supreme Court's recent ruling threatens the power of racial-minority voters in Voting Rights Act cases about not just Congress, but also at least 17 state and local governments, NPR finds. n.pr/4wBi07o

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

That looks ridiculous.

The US did NOT contact airline passengers who flew with people known to have been infected with hantavirus. Cool cool.

⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 2, per AAA ⛽ • Regular: $4.43 (⬆️ $1.45 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.29 (⬆️ $1.43 since war began) • Diesel: $5.63 (⬆️ $1.87 since war began)

Gas prices hit a new national high this morning. I don’t know what planet Tim Scott is on, but you can’t BS your way through people’s price struggles.

Yikes! Fox 5 caught on hot mic talking about the security at the Correspondents Dinner. "They have like two random chicks holding the front door open. Like guys, they're not even trying anymore...they're not even secret service people. It's like the girls who work here are holding the door."

Months after the Pentagon decried the U.S. military newspaper Stars and Stripes as “woke” and said it would be overhauled, the Defense Department fired the publication’s ombudsman, a role charged with safeguarding the paper’s editorial independence.

The soldier allegedly used classified intelligence about the raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro to place a winning bet on the betting platform Polymarket

Criminals gonna crime. The most brazenly corrupt administration ever. They are not governing. They are looting - the Treasury, the American people - while most are struggling to just get by, pay rent, buy gas, pay for groceries. It's Us vs. the Epstein Class, and it has reached Critical Mass.

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

BREAKING: There it is. 2 week extension. TACO.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Just a snapshot of the type of bullshit that is happening

"The best example of the news media deciding somebody is unfit for office, because of their mental fitness or unfitness, is how they treated Biden in 2024. Biden was old and rational. Right now, Trump is old and irrational, but he’s not getting the same kind of treatment." — @markjacob.bsky.social

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

FUN FACT: He advised Queen Elizabeth to pardon her son 3 years, 5 months & 12 days after she passed away. Please add "UNINFORMED" to my list. Thank you for your attention to this embarrassing matter.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

Can't argue with that.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Last 14 months of Biden's term: +1.74m jobs First 14 months of Trump's term: 150,000 jobs (total! for the whole 14 months!) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours. Gas prices skyrocketing. Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month. Another war in the Middle East. Are we great again yet?
