holy shit nobody has ever answered a question worse

ALERT: The Riverbottom Nightmare Band has dropped out of Trump’s Freedom 250 concert.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Reminder: Donald Trump caused this. Working families deserve better — and I’ll keep pushing back to fight high prices and deliver economic relief for Illinoisans.

Stop. Collaborate with Putin ICE is back with a brand new shootin

When a septuagenarian rocker speaks more forcefully and eloquently than the opposition leaders do, we’re in trouble… Thankfully, at least Bruce is doing it… 🫡

Cool earrings from 1780s France:

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist.

Trump gets a $1.8 billion slush fund for his loyalists and supporters.   Congressional Republicans want to write a blank check to ICE.   And what do you get?   The corruption and lawlessness is out of control.

This is indeed false. The amount of AI slop turning up these days is impossible to keep up with.

Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to turn back a four-term incumbent senator and to vote for a man who is basically a walking Thomas Nast illustration of corruption and the cult members said, yes sir, right away, sir.

Texas is controlled by Republicans. governor. Statewide offices. State legislature. Ken Paxton is the Attorney General of Texas. He's a Republican Yet not only did they indict him-they IMPEACHED him Do you know how corrupt you must be for your own party to impeach you Really, really corrupt

What a quote on Ken Paxton, by a party colleague. A gift basket to Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

Insane there is no provision blocking the president, their family members, and senior officials from having a billion-dollar crypto enterprise w/oodles of foreign money while in office. (This is not a hypothetical situation.)

Only 40 percent of Americans in a recent ABC-Washington Post poll think he has the “mental sharpness to serve as president, down from 47 percent last September,” the Washington Post reported.

This is what the Brave Of US do. Congrats to this phenomenal girl and the obviously brave parents who raised her.

Given that the pope has now cited Gandalf to make a similar point, I will repost my article on the dragons within us. snyder.substack.com/p/tolkiens-d...

We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

Insider reporting from an unnamed source that my book manuscript is "95% done." The remaining 5% is focused on figuring out what the argument actually is, finding supporting evidence for that argument, and writing it all up.

Reviewers in two groups were given identical resumes for Emily Clarke and James Clarke and told they had used AI. Emily's was 2x as likely to raise doubts about competence. "She can't even write a CV herself." But James "just needed a bit of help." fortune.com/2026/05/10/i...

of course I was never taught this in school. of course. but today is the day I learned this most essential bit of history: time.com/5836444/blac...

ZELENSKYY: We attack military targets in Russia, or their energy, which they sell to fund war. Russians deliberately target civilian objects: museums, schools, apartments. They destroyed this Chornobyl museum that we built for 40th anniversary just one month ago. Crazy assholes.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Last night Russia attacked seventy-seven places in Ukraine with more than six hundred drones and missiles. You can help protect Ukrainian life by donating here. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

Questions Grow Over Mystery Of Missing Legislative Branch

the party is staring down a truly apocalyptic midterm and trump's strategy is to make them vote on ever more absurd bullshit in order to prove their loyalty they are stuck between a rock and a hard place and it couldn't have happened to a bigger group of assholes

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

NYT: In the middle of the lunch, Trump called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and told them he wanted the regulation lifted. Trump’s FDA Commissioner then resigned in protest. Things like this are happening every day. RFK Jr is a total fraud.

U.S. energy storage developers installed 9.7 gigawatt-hours of new capacity in the first quarter of 2026, marking a record high for the quarter, an industry report showed on Thursday.

still thinking about how one of the purposes of this war was to install *Mahmoud Ahmadinejad* as president of Iran, which failed because Israel *bombed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad*

Really good.

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

Very rich people getting booed during commencement speeches is my new favorite genre of entertainment.

This is the raving of a delusional man who is unfit and unable to discharge the duties of his office. Every member of his cabinet and Congress who choose to look the other way or deny the danger are complicit.

ICYMI, here’s a dek from NYT’s @peterbakernyt.bsky.social one month ago: As the president threatens to wipe out Iran and attacks the pope, even some former allies and advisers are questioning whether he has grown increasingly unbalanced, describing him as “lunatic” and “clearly insane.”

‘I had never seen so many weeds.’ Farmers with decades of experience are getting blindsided by floods, heat waves, and pest attacks.

More than 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, a new analysis by the Brookings Institution suggests. Roughly three-quarters of those children are likely U.S. citizens. nyti.ms/42CBGKt
