Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.

Wanna see the big, warm New York welcome Knicks fans gave Donald Trump in New York City?

mike johnson is legitimately in the running for single worst speaker in the history of the house

Our country has found more children to murder.

Nothing says "man of the people" quite like ruining the biggest night in NYC sports history with a massive federal security perimeter because you wanted a front-row seat to get booed. 🎪🤡

"Neither major political party's leadership seems to be doing much of anything to help lessen [the people's] economic despair ... All the while, an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime is running roughshod over our political system, facing little resistance from the Democratic Party."

Why do other countries get the good things?

Donald Trump called your wife ugly, your father a murderer, and you a pussy, and yet you lick his boots.

Iran’s World Cup team arrived in Mexico wearing lapel pins honoring the victims of a deadly missile strike on an elementary school at the start of the war in the Mideast. The players wore gold-colored pins with the number “168” on their jackets. apnews.com/article/worl...

Julie K. Brown has new information on Epstein and it's a big deal. The Bush DOJ gave 'guidance' on the case. Alex Acosta, the Florida State Prosecutor, told the Palm Beach police chief he was informed that Epstein 'belonged to Intelligence' and the matter was 'above his pay grade.'

She also covers well how the Trump Administration has reached out to and aided the Tate Brothers. It's sort of Son of Epstein, at least in the complicity with extreme forms of misogyny (and child abuse; as with Epstein some of the victims were minors).

Men's complaints today: we are horribly oppressed because a woman translated Homer. Women's complaints: see Heidi Blake's utterly horrific report on the Tate brothers' long campaign of rape, violent physical and psychological abuse, and trafficking of, apparently, hundreds of women.

🏀 BING BONG - Mamdani is putting New Yorkers first - by announcing a free watch party at Bryant Park - giving New Yorkers a place to come together & watch the Knicks game tonight.

This is deep, conspiracy level bullshit, very easily refuted with easily available empirical data. California is full of faux progressives like this. I really hope the younger generation can organize to overcome them.

It was only a matter of time. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Oligarchs don't wait in line.

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

Trump rails against fraud. He spreads conspiracy theories. He unleashes his police state on immigrants. He weaponizes the government against his political enemies. Meanwhile, he keeps pardoning actual convicted fraudsters and white-collar criminals. Hello?

Exactly! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Albanians show us the way.

What is going on in the US is insane, says Bernie Sanders.

New Yorkers absolutely hate Trump #Knicks

Defining mega Olympian Simone Biles by her husband's day gig is some monumental misogynistic horse shit. It's the sort of thing Pete Hegseth would do 🤦‍♀️

Imagine being the most decorated gymnast in history, almost dying, and media referring to you as “NFL Wife” as your greatest achievement.😑 Misogyny is a helluva drug. Smh. Truly hope Simone is safe and makes a full recovery. What a horrible experience.

AI may be a useful tool in the human endeavor of mathematics, but we shouldn't let it destroy the field, mathematicians are emphasizing. Will AI further humanity, or replace us? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/s...

The longest "two weeks?" Actually not, since we're still waiting for the 2017 "two week" infrastructure and health plans. So, "two weeks" can take 9 years.

Since Israel is supposed to halt the killing in Lebanon and Iran for the moment, they'll kill in Gaza.

1/ ICE used facial recognition on a woman during an immigration raid & misidentified her. Twice. Then called the result "definitive." That app is now deployed in cities across US, bought without a public vote, governed by no one. This is the pattern. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

What really unsettles critics isn't the shirt. It's the idea that Palestinians might have a leader capable of uniting their people and leading the fight for liberation from apartheid the same way Nelson Mandela did. www.newarab.com/news/uks-zac...

The veteran correspondents staying at 60 Minutes are making the same mistake WaPo reporters did. 60 Minutes fate lies with viewers, not Bari Weiss or any internal deal she cut with them. Viewers will abandon 60 Minutes just as they did WaPo because, for good reason, they no longer trust the owner.

I thought Trump and Hegseth said we completely wiped out Iran’s military many weeks ago?

"In addition to the strikes, the IDF is behind roughly 400 controlled demolitions across southern Lebanon, some of which have flattened entire villages, according to Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. " www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...

1/ Billionaires are buying fake local news sites, flooding swing states with partisan propaganda, and calling it journalism. A recent study just caught them red-handed shifting to paid Facebook targeting in election years. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Scientists identify three distinct paths of cognitive decline in early Alzheimer’s disease

"The Court’s behavior in the Louisiana and Alabama cases over the past six weeks can’t be reconciled with or explained by any coherent understanding of what Purcell supposedly stands for. ... The overall pattern reveals justices behaving in a way that has no obvious explanation other than politics."

Trump told me this a couple of hours before Bibi struck Iran. He has turned himself into a prisoner of other people's decisions.

If you didn't already know it, the country is falling apart.
