Couldn’t help but notice that neither the Times or Post have a story up about Trump saying he’s not sorry that Joe Biden has cancer. I guess that’s just Trump being Trump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Democracy on the way to the abyss? www.iris-france.org/en/united-st...

this is so beautiful. look at his face.

Stop voting for Senators that don’t care if you die.

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Richard Garwin created the hydrogen bomb. Then, over the decades that followed, in perhaps his greatest achievement, and there were many, he worked as an adviser to the U.S. government on how to help keep the world from blowing itself up.

These LA undocumented drivers helped build Uber and Lyft. Now they’re being left behind. While LA boasts the nation’s largest rideshare market, the immigrant drivers who helped build it are increasingly banned from earning a living through the apps they made successful.

Save the program for the kids especially the ones aging out of foster care…

“I feel sorry for myself because I’m educated and despite that I’m eating from the trash,” said Islam Abu Taeima, who has a bachelor’s degree in English from Al-Quds Open University in Gaza.

104 years ago, a white supremacist mob burned homes, murdered families and destroyed Black prosperity in Tulsa’s Greenwood District.   The Tulsa Race Massacre remains a stain on our nation. We must honor the victims by continuing the fight for equality and justice in our time.

I washed my hair this morning and my coworkers talking about "let your soul gloowwww" 😭🤣 I love it here

Following persistent inquiries by The Intercept about why the docket in Rumeysa Ozturk's original habeas petition in Massachusetts was still restricted, the D. Mass. clerk's office has lifted the restrictions! www.courtlistener.com/docket/69790...

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

really bleak to pop on to the former twitter and see people i thought were reasonable palling around with race science maniacs

About damn time. I need real-time updates

I'm confident no one will allow these residents to be evicted. However, what a horrible thing. The government entities in charge of monitoring their contracts with this group need to be held accountable.

😔

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Finally saw Sinners, which was great, but I really couldn't stop thinking about this Onion joke the whole time

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

he might just be the perfect candidate for the house oversight committee leadership

Gerry Connolly is the sixth congressman to die in office in just over a year. All were Democrats. Let's go there: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/gerry-conn...

after weeks of being taught that no you cannot chase and attack the other cats this will not be accepted Chonk Boi has started a new thing where he chases down a cat and then goes "I win" and walks away, held held high in pride

BREAKING: NJ Rep. released on her own recognizance after court hearing www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/...

It's not enough to destroy the lives of trans military members, this government must out them and humiliate them at every point. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Judge: Now moving back to issues related to preexisting case—no longer about emergency South Sudan claim. Plaintiffs: It is *preposterous* for the govt to suggest that DOD took charge of deportations and therefore aren't subject to order (since DHS, not DOD, is a party to the case).

Judge: Once I clarify my order, hopefully today, I want to make sure everyone in ICE chain of custody is familiar with it. Want more info about how to make this happen.

HAPPENING NOW: Mass. federal judge Brian Murphy holds a hearing on whether the US violated his order by deporting people from other home countries to violent, unstable South Sudan without giving them adequate notice and the chance to raise concerns about danger they may face there. 🧵

Most companies — especially in the U.S. and China — say they'll have to increase prices because of the Trump tariffs, according to a poll released by Allianz. "Few companies intend to absorb increased costs or cut export prices to maintain market share." tinyurl.com/4z2uz878

Look at all the tacky gold decor. It's what Donald is doing to the Oval Office. The emulation of vulgarity.

Disgusted, but not surprised. House Republicans are once again trying to censor Democrats—this time by coming for committee seats because my colleagues dared to conduct oversight.

“…everyone who has run this office has experience as a federal prosecutor, most in the very office they were tapped to run. “Pirro has none of that. “…she does not appear to have practiced law at all in the past two decades…” www.publicnotice.co/p/jeanine-pi...

#WARNING: CPSC is warning consumers to immediately stop using VESLA HOME kitchen faucets, KZH bathroom faucets & CEINOL bathroom faucets, all sold on Amazon.com. The faucets were tested and found to contain lead that can leach into water at levels that can be particularly harmful to young children.

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we? Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @laloalcaraz)

MAKE IT PLAIN!

The longest serving incumbent mayor in the country, a Republican, just got fired by Democrat John Ewing in Omaha, NE. Congratulations Mayor-Elect Ewing, Nebraska Democrats, and the Democratic Mayors Association. Watch out Republicans - we are winning all over the country up and down the ballot.

This is leadership. This is solidarity. This is good trouble. Democratic Senators Booker, Smith, and Schatz crash the House markup in protest of Medicaid cuts…

This says it all. The True Believers are not going to be swayed by pointing out their moral relativism. They embrace the moral assymetry. Trump is their Tony Soprano and they accept his corruption, but only for him (and themselves).

While defending Trump accepting a luxury jet from Qatar, Newsmax host says “I would definitely criticize Joe Biden if he cut the exact same deal” www.mediamatters.org/newsmax/whil...

Moskowitz: "Donald Trump said he's not cutting Medicaid. That's what he's been saying, and yet Republicans come with almost $800 billion of Medicaid cuts, which is what Democrats have been talking about for the last five months. There are members here who have said they're not gonna cut Medicaid."

I am not expert but I told those women asking for advice 10 years ago that they cannot win. They can only decide how much of their time & mental health they want to spend on losing. The only “method” is a brutal fight for unions & about 30 yrs of rebuilding university culture.

I have been strip searched multiple times going through airport security for being trans. My favorite was years ago when I got pulled out of line at O'Hare by a TERF agent who screamed "WHAT EVEN ARE YOU?" at the top of her lungs at me so loudly the whole line stopped.

The EPA’s new mission under Trump includes making the U.S. the capital for AI and reviving the auto industry. “They’re doing all this under the guise of efficiency, but what they really are doing is dismantling this agency from doing its job,” one staffer told me. theintercept.com/2025/05/13/t...

The DOI policy has always been, above all, an extremely flexible tool for Meta to cull or permit speech as needed depending on which way the winds are blowing politically. Keep in mind this is the same policy the company uses to suppress speech/imagery about Gaza.

"a curious trend" this garbage argues that celebrity children come out as trans to become more famous than their parents. sure sure sure

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”
