There are almost as many Chinese restaurants in the US as there are mentions of Trump in the Epstein Files.

Great thread from a unique perspective. My vision is deteriorating and now I’m rethinking AI-assisted glasses. Meta remains out of the question though.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

Biden’s big mistake was opening the borders so foreigners could pour in and start voting when all he needed to do was invade a foreign country, kidnap its leader and let that country’s citizens vote in US elections. /s

So, here’s the situation. Maine Dems is holding a US Senate rally in Bangor (the town I live in) and purposefully excluding me. We need to call them out, demand that I be included, and RSVP for the event. www.mobilize.us/mainedems/ev... They will likely say (as they did for the State Convention)1/

Trump: "Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast foods in the United States all combined. That's a pretty big statement."

Trump visits China & talks about all the wonderful Chinese restaurants we have- did he mention how they all shut down during Covid because of the Xenophobia he caused by blaming them for the virus- the Kungflu virus. Those poor ppl & families. He’s a fcking monster

“ICE’s immediate attempt to dismiss any possible connection between the medical emergency and the deployment of pepper spray is equally concerning and reflects a broader pattern of deflecting accountability and gaslighting the public.” story via @jerodmacevoy.com

The Auditor General has released a brutal new report on the out-of-control $1 billion ESA Voucher program. This week, House Democrats are sharing a video series highlighting the waste, fraud, and abuse, which is actually higher than previously reported.

AI Shakespeare: "If music be the food of love, like, subscribe, and leave a comment."

Original text: He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes. Long enough to realize he'll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore.

Our current Acting CDC Director said his entire plan for pandemic preparedness is to fire everyone responsible for it.

“If you outlaw guns, only criminals will have guns”. “People will still drink and drive even if you outlaw drunk driving”. “People will still get on airport tarmacs even if you make them more secure” “People will still rob banks if you make robbing banks illegal”. I’m so very tired.

When NH chose “Live Free Or Die” as its motto, I don’t think this is what they meant.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

The urge to sink into depressed nihilism is strong and I get it. The odds are stacked and things are genuinely fucked and awful. But keep the faith inside you that not only will we beat back this nightmare but there is something genuine and good growing that will be so worth it.

UFOs appeared and took the Epstein Files away.

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

they should literally campaign on this.

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

I will never understand how my friend, who is a respected paleontologist for the Smithsonian and is one of the most professional beings I've ever met, made less than I did as a fresh no nothing help desk guy. He is helping shape modern science. I was resetting passwords 😭

"If Democrats gain control of more state legislatures this year...they could...all but erase any [GOP redistricting] advantage...races for state legislature this year just got way more important." Good @maddow.bsky.social segment on the need to escalate (cites our reporting):

Cocky and wrong is just such a bad combo.

the optics of this Oval Office event are absolutely insane. get a load of this. crazytown.

May the 4th be with you, Arizona! Get registered today: Arizona.Vote 💫

Donald Trump is explicitly urging Republicans to lock in one-party rule in the House before the 2028 elections. If Dems don't act, the possibility of higher-minded reforms (like a ban on redistricting) disappears entirely, perhaps for many years to come.

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

Ohio, Sunday is last day for early voting. Check on your house district.

World-famous atheist abandons all reason and dives head first into superstition because he told himself it was a girl who thinks he’s smart.

I'm sick. Even when you know it's going to happen, it's a gut punch. Arizona is experiencing great harm at the hands of this regime. The animal crossings are being slammed shut, leading to terrible biodiversity outcomes. They are decimating tribal lands and destroying artifacts. Mother Fxck3rs.

Blanche will be interviewing every mollusk involved in that picture.

“Powell should take his Rolodex, call his stockbroker on his landline rotary phone and watch the profits roll in on the ticker tape machine. Then he should book a nice long vacation through his travel agent”.

Over 50% of American adults can't read above a 6th grade reading level, and this is an absolutely catastrophic civil rights crisis with implications for every facet of individual and collective life, including processing political statements by politicians, doctors, and so on

Too many

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

Competent people aren’t MAGA and MAGA people aren’t competent.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

MAHA is short for “MA HART JUS SPLODED”.

Last week the cast of Fox & Friends realized that a sexual assault survivor would help their case in court if they told their friends about the abuse immediately after it happened. I couldn't help but think of E. Jean Carroll who did exactly that.

Back to the genocide threats.

I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. Not this mine. Not this place.

When power hunts for a problem and can’t find evidence, the real objective isn’t enforcement—it’s control. Demanding sensitive voter data without proof flips democracy on its head. Rights need protection from the state, not suspicion dressed up as policy.

“Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony,” 15 of Epstein’s victims said in a statement in response. “Asking more of them is a deflection of responsibility, not justice.” trib.al/g42zYhx

He wasn’t saying crazy enough stuff yesterday so he upped the wackadoodle quotient by appearing to claim that we simultaneously control the Strait of Hormuz while demanding Iran open it.

I can finally talk about a big project I worked on last year! The Bishop Museum in Honolulu commissioned a set of LEGO built models showcasing a variety of native species as part of their new Aloha Bricks '26 exhibition! Seven large models in total and I designed each of them. ❤️ #lego

If this is real. If his thumbs actually typed what is below... Citizens. Senators. Cabinet. The President of the United States is out of control. He is beyond reason or amelioration. We might really, really, really, I'm trying not to shout or capitalize here, really want to address this.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

When will bush, gore, clinton, boehner, ryan, kerrey, quayle, schwarzenegger, frist, corker, former cabinet members/lawmakers, retired military leaders, business titans & top lawyers band together to force Trump out? Their silence/inaction is appalling!
