Michigan Avenue right now.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

It’s pretty wild being in Portland and hearing planes fly overhead and being afraid it’s the US military invading

A silent, inter-faith march near the ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon. The marchers held flowers. 💐

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

Ricky Martin. He’s still got it.

Mushroom peeping #PNW

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Rogin: So even what Trump is talking about in that press conference is totally wrong. He's misinterpreted something that his own envoy misinterpreted. So this is the level of sheer incompetence and confusion and just total bizarre chaos that's surrounding this Alaska meeting.

Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

Watch this to the end.

Taking a moment to appreciate how utterly frustrating this court must be for Justice Sotomayor

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

the whole reason Hegseth is at DoD is to produce propaganda footage. how about we not freak when he does that

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

Lessons from Portland: leaf blowers can send the tear gas right back at them; if they try to arrest you, go limp on the ground. Make them carry you. #LA

WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE BOTH SIDES HERE

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Look at this pretty lady #peony #bloomscrolling

My first rose of the season! #bloomscrolling #cityofroses

Clematis in full bloom

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

Just as a reminder, Kamala Harris double majored, receiving undergrad degrees in both political science and economics.

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?
