So apparently, there is a mechanism by which the Maine Democratic Party can replace a nominated candidate if he voluntarily drops out. Seems like information worth having. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

🧵 Today’s news that New World screwworm is in Texas is a major wakeup call, and shows how fast dangerous agricultural pests and invasive species can reach our farms and wildlife. It underscores the importance of fully funding USDA and CDC.

If Biden had passed out at a meeting and pitched over to 45 degrees like this he'd have been forced to resign the presidency

No surprise these two would become instant best friends. #MayTheGrouchBeWithYou

under federal investigation for alleged wrongdoing — and some cases were slowed, suspended, or dropped after Trump returned to office. If this happened anywhere else, we’d call it what it looks like. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This thread and the fact that it's a year old.

Just thinking how Bill Clinton's meeting with Loretta Lynch on a tarmac was a tsunami-level political scandal in 2016, and now we have the president literally nominating his personal lawyer to be the nation's attorney general -- and it's greeted with a shrug. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

So are we ever going to have a conversation about how vast swathes of liberal influencers and personalities are just ex GOP strategists, guys who used to crime for Trump but have “reformed,” and people who used to work for the FBI and CIA? Because it kind of feels…important?

Take the time to read and enjoy his sample. You will want to order the book, just like me.

This is a lie. She is lying. There is zero proof as to what she is saying. No numbers, nothing. I know people who were kicked off SNAP and they are struggling to survive.

It is stunning how rapidly basic systems that we've all relied on all our lives have just totally collapsed. And how it seems that everyone at the top of every pyramid is a deranged, grifting psycho.

Wow, important to read.

Scott Pelley was with CBS for 37 years and was in the midst of a 9% ratings surge, "unheard-of."

When a top reporter says owners have demanded they lie in news coverage, treat everything that outlet says as a lie. NOTHING CBS reports without public evidence should be treated as true. "Unnamed sources" are madeup, undisclosed documents are made up. Don't ever cite CBS as a source.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Our Pride Center in San Antonio is being forced to move and is at risk of closing. If you have $26 to spare, match my donation and help make sure LGBTQ+ Texans have a place to feel seen and a little more safe. I started a team—internet weirdos for the SA pride center.

I think about that a lot. There's no telling what is happening behind the scenes... Federal prosecutors, judges, and juries will be untangling this mess for decades...

Six generations. One unbroken transfer of wealth. From a Louisiana slave plantation to the Republican nomination for Texas Attorney General.

Make your voices heard! The proposed OMB rule negates peer review for approval of grant applications. The political appointee will have the power to randomly override peer review. The last thing we need is the fear of grants getting terminated based on whim. Russ Vought is all over this.🧪

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.
