Brazil’s Former President Jair Bolsonaro temporarily left house arrest Saturday to undergo medical exams in Brasilia, after a judge authorized him to spend six to eight hours at a hospital.

C'mon. The White House press Corpse doesn't ask questions like that!

ah yes. a great leap, in a forward direction

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Around 10:15, the press secretary told Fox that an unnamed ABC official had "said they will be taking action." According to a source, ABC had already settled on suspending Moran by that time. One hour later ABC announced the suspension. www.cnn.com/2025/06/08/m...

I always think of this 2018 oral history of Stephen Miller’s high school years, in which almost all his peers remember him as loathsome, racist, oppositional, inaccurate, and constantly playing the victim card lamag.com/politics/ste...

What the fuck does my race have to do with any of this

The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin wants to destroy American democracy. With the Trumpian right embracing strongman rule, his ideas have found mainstream purchase.

He nailed it!

Do it!

Profit shouldn’t come into it at all, but if it does?

Bessent: "We want the US to be more like Florida and less like New York"

Leavitt: "Electricians, plumbers -- we need more of those in our country, and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University. And that's what this administration's position is."

Dorie Miller, a Black Navy messman aboard the USS Enterprise, despite no weapon training, risked his life and shot down, under fire, several enemy planes during Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt had to order the Navy to honor Miller. On May 27, 1942 Miller received the Navy Cross. Glad you asked.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Dear Republicans, Cutting science budgets has not historically been a Republican thing. For example, Lincoln created the National Academy of Sciences. Eisenhower's term increased the science budget 366%. Gerald Ford, +15%; George H. W. Bush, +30%; George W. Bush, +54%. Just sayin’.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, shared photos of himself and his grandchildren frolicking in waters filled with sewer overflow. Swimming in sewage. Spewing garbage. Sowing cynicism. That’s RFK Jr. alright.

WHO DID THIS?!?!

The offer, which comes on the eve of Trump's visit to the Middle East, raises major ethical and legal questions.

Who did this?

Are you confused about Trump's tariffs and the trade war? Don't worry. AMERICA UNHINGED has you covered. A really helpful, informative conversation with economic journalist James Surowiecki tonight, who breaks it all down at the 31-minute mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqaJ...

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

As I've said, Trump's attacks on the Inst. of Museum and Library Services (which funds museums + libraries) are illegal--the IMLS was created by an act of congress. This is a sloppy smash & grab. Sign this petition + Raise HELL #museums #writers #AcSky 🍎 💙📚 🌏🧪 www.everylibrary.org/statementiml...

Is "unusual" really the best the New York Times can do?

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?

But Griffiths says the manufacturing base that once existed in the U.S. "is no longer here." It was long ago replaced by one of the most efficient and most cost-effective manufacturing processes in the world.
