Very cool that the new Director of National Intelligence is paranoid and self-important. Perfect qualities for the gig.

Jason Bateman is right, it’s time to hold them accountable. #Pinks #USDemocracy

to my mind the most important biographical fact to know about samuel alito is that he was a member of a group that opposed the admission of women and minorities to princeton www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

“.. In total, the federal staffers held SpaceX or xAI stock worth at least $9.9 million and as much as $43.8 million, according to the disclosures ..” @bloomberg.com #$SPCX www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Q: We've been asking why Bill Pulte is qualified to be DNI. You're a heart surgeon? Dr. Oz: Yes. Q: Would you recommend a patient go see someone who isn't? Dr. Oz: *silence*

CBS is being run into the ground by Bari Weiss is a cautionary tale about why it is important to intervene against high school bullies. They grow to become adult bullies

I know I'm a broken record, but Trump *not* releasing his taxes as he promised and the IRS *not* auditing his taxes every year and releasing the results like they have for every goddamn president for forty years is the actual scandal. This won't outlast his term and should be fought right now

someone like bari weiss who is used to bullying low level reporters and adjunct professors into getting fired is not going to like how this plays out for her when the same tactics are applied to someone whose contract was written by high powered entertainment lawyers

I'm Mike Lindell. I'm Herschel Walker. I'm Mel Gibson. I'm Sidney Powell. I'm Riley Gaines. Those stories and more. Tonight. On 60 Minutes.

This is the largest admission that the GOP is absolutely freaking out.When you have to go this hard to disenfranchise a solid red state,you are loudly admitting your polices and candidates suck so badly that you are relying on citizens in a state with single party voting option,to hopefully do that

Whenever federal court reform comes around, it can't be only SCOTUS expansion, limiting of jurisdiction, ethics reform etc. It has to be dealing the shadow docket and limiting to actual emergencies.

The charisma-challenged veep of a historically unpopular president running with an architect of a disastrous war? I’d say very beatable.

"The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well." BREAKING: Longtime “60 Minutes” journalist Scott Pelley issues a new statement after his firing from CBS News.

Ossoff: Both of my Trump puppet opponents said that they would support this $1.8 billion slush fund for Jan 6 foot soldiers. I'm running against two Trump puppet Maga fanatics who are pro-war, pro-tariff, pro-cutting your health care pro-Jeffrey Epstein memorial ballroom….

MacFarlane: They're off message in the Republican conference and they know it. They are talking about ballrooms, reflecting pools, monumental arches, slush funds, and Pulte

The low-hanging fruit is Blanche and maybe half a dozen others involved with the "fund." You campaign on putting them in prison, no one will stop you. "Intent to defraud," "two billion of your money to insurrectionists, crooks..." No one dares. That's how you get people used to the idea.

This is the same person who tried to weaponize mortgage information to go after the President’s enemies. This man has no business being anywhere near our national intelligence and security agencies. ⬇️

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

REP. DEAN TO BLANCHE: "The president lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove it. It's all covered up. The 🇺🇸 people are not stupid.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

Our government will give sports teams billions of your tax dollars for stadiums, billions to build fossil fuel plants, billions to corporations to improve profits. Our government will not give taxpayers solar panels to reduce utility costs or build great public transit. Our priorities are against us

Listening to NPR right now and the point is being made about just what a shame it is that our 250th Anniversary is just trash now. And it's so true. There could have been so many forms of celebration of America (not just music but everything) but, yeah, now it's just all turned to shit.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Stephen Colbert had Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen during the final week of his show. Trump can't even get Milli Vanilli.

If Thomas Massie is ever right, this is it.

So much for Bari Weiss’s promise to promote journalism that respects the audience well enough to tell the truth plainly-wherever it leads Not that anyone ever believed her anyway

Smart people do smart things.

Agreed. We wouldn't be dealing with all the nonsense had the press properly covered Trump from day one.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

Fck Data Centers!!

Donald Trump has claimed to outraged with Netanyahu's continued attacks in Lebanon. Nearly 90% of the IDF's weapons come from the USA, he could halt them all with a single executive decree. His 'anger' is all fake for political gain and posturing.

Dearest NFL, If we are gonna pay for the stadiums with our tax dollars then we should be able to attend the games for free. Sincerely, American Taxpayer

Oh so he does understand what’s happening www.axios.com/2026/06/01/t...

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Also, note how Rubio pre-distances himself from future decisions to extend the "time-limited" waivers funding Putin's collapsing war economy, saying that is the responsibility of "Treasury," just like he claimed the policy of denying life saving vaccines to developing nation's was RFk,Jr.'s fault.

You can see why they try to call them “AI factories” — not “data centers.” @deanbaker13.bsky.social cepr.net/publications...

Let’s find an unqualified nepo-baby with zero experience in military, intelligence or government service who repeatedly says dumb things and has spent his time as housing finance director trying to prosecute Dems & make him DNI. What a joke this admin is.

The White House today announced it plans to make major changes in how the U.S. government manages research funding. https://scim.ag/43HgW4s

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Greg Bovino and the head of New York's Young Republicans were in Portugal this weekend for a neo-fascist summit on ethnic cleansing. So why didn't the press cover it? My latest for @theredoubt.net, on extremism, antisemitism and media double standards: www.theredoubt.net/why-did-the-...

“…about the multi-generational effort to build national capacity in science and technology… the effort and ingenuity of so many people over 160 years of American life, that is currently being deliberately destroyed.” I feel this too.

Why is Donald Trump protecting people who commit fraud? DISGUSTING!

The takeover of news outlets, like CBS, by billionaires are among the most insidious threats to American democracy. Money (greed) and disinformation are increasingly corrupting our politics and government and must be mitigated. Let’s start by electing pro-democracy leaders in 2026 #MEpolitics

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Let's end tonight with some nice news: despite all the slander hurled at mRNA vaccines, they're showing great early results at preventing skin cancer recurrence! We'll drift off to dreamland thinking about all the possibilities 😴💤💤 www.npr.org/2026/06/01/n...

Absolutely disgusting but true. Make it make sense #USDemocracy

Nice work by Jared Polis.

You get to a certain status, a certain age, and you can either hide or lead. Mad respect for Pelley choosing to lead.
