Huh. Why would Boeing (airplane company) and Toyota (car company) donate a MILLION bucks to Trump's Transportation Secretary's pet project? Could these billionaire corporations expect a return on their donation with regulatory favors? Looks like corruption in plain sight.

Diana and the gals were bathing in a baptismal font when along came Actaeon. Clearly had to be transformed into a stag! From Domenico Veneziano, whose day is today.

Hey Jared Polis/@colorado.gov, were you threatened, honey-trapped, or bribed?

Trump: "They've closed the strait in the past. They use as a weapon. They aren't using it as a weapon with me." (The strait is closed right now!)

We’re going back to Selma and Montgomery. Why? The Supreme Court destroyed the Voting Rights Act, and the country needs to be reminded who we were before Civil Rights - and why we can’t go back.

More than seven years before Trump became president he was named in a deposition by a an Epstein victim as someone who was well aware of what Epstein was up to. www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

This is an EXCELLENT idea. Also, if you’re a white player who plays for these states, you’re racist. Transfer somewhere else.

Trump: "Look at all the missiles shot at people who thought they weren't even involved. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, they got all shot at. Nobody thought they were even involved in this thing."

Republicans, you support and enable this idiot.

I recently had cause to do a bit of digging around on Bronze Age art. Here, for #FindsFriday is an article on the unspeakably beautiful #Shropshire Bulla featuring @peterreavill.bsky.social I never tire of gazing at it ❤️

🇬🇷 Greece's largest coal plant, Agios Dimitrios, is shutting down today. One coal plant remains until Greece exits coal this year. Renewables have been beating coal on cost for a while. The country is expected to hit its 2030 solar target early this year! balkangreenenergynews.com/ag-dimitrios...

WOW.

KERNEN: You found fraud in my home state of Ohio as well. The same type of thing as Minnesota? DR OZ: Very similar. Again, there's a large Somalian population. The fraud is around Columbus. It's very concerning

The criminal MFers use Trumped-up lies to justify their crimes. And they're planning to ramp-up that shit to attack even more before the elections. They are Nazi traitors.

"the dramatic cost declines in batteries have now made 'firm renewables' — solar or wind paired with batteries — cheaper than fossil fuels in many parts of the world." This is game changing.

Fox is not news, it’s evil entertainment for needy greedy trumplings

Hendrix is my fav guitarist. Hands down. I still get chills when I hear him play. All 3 of his studio LPs are unique, superb in their own ways. Ladyland : his zaniest. Bold As Love : reflective. But my personal fav remains his debut. Purple Haze. Hey Joe. Fire. Wind Cries Mary. Absolutely timeless.

“This isn’t how things are supposed to work in America,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointee based in New York. “Unquestionably, the laws of human decency condemn such villainy.” www.politico.com/news/2026/05...
