Today, Russel Vought appeared in front of the House Budget Committee to defend the proposed cuts to the #NIH & others. He justifies cuts to cancer, Alzheimer’s research etc. & spreads lies about the origins of Covid. FYI: The NIH budget is less than 1% of federal budget. 🧪via @pbsnews.org

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

In 2008 a racist sore loser accused every single woman of color in her race heat of cheating. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd olace worked their asses off for a lifetime just like all of the other women. For their natural gifts they were humiliated internationally and their medals were stripped for cheating.

While this article is sound I wish it wouldn't concede to the framing that the bodies of women should be regulated. Michael Phelps has a 1 in 1,00,000 trait that helps him succeed and he is celebrated for it. A woman has a 1 in 10,000 trait and 20+ years of an athletic career is ended.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

Olivia Dean: "I guess I want to say I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I wouldn't be here... I'm a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated"

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

He would rather knock it down than see us take his name off it.

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization. This is no different. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryaniz...

Donald Trump on Ted Cruz: “If I nominate him for the United States Supreme Court, I will get 100% of the vote. The Democrats will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out. And the Republicans will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out too.”

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

on some level you have to stand in awe of the gall it takes to use this tone about someone people are angry at for suppressing a story about a concentration camp

This student effectively killed this TA’s career and likely feels not a lick of shame about it

Kudos to Sharyn Alfonsi for exposing the truth But Bari Weiss killing the 60 Minutes story about Trump sending innocent immigrants to CECOT is only part of the story The bigger issue is MAGA trying to take over all our broadcast networks and social media to spread their hateful propaganda
