"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

I didn’t think Scott Adams could ever make me laugh again Cheers to all the little surprises in life 🥂

THIS is actually part of the FDR memorial, not in the wall of the former East Wing.

If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: sfilen.org/resources/sf...

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

They arrested people on the job, so it’s not about being unemployed. They arrested people in court seeking legal status, so it’s not about legality. They used the IRS to track the undocumented, so it’s not about taxes. This is about punishment, not justice. #crueltyIStheONLYpoint

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Her name is Usha Vance, show some respect.

If you feel like you’re not gambling to your full potential, come to Pete Hegseth’s motivational speech tomorrow in the cocktail lounge.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee implies the existence of a Petit Cherokee.

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

"Trans people did not suddenly invent themselves in the Year of Our Lord 2018. Nor did advocacy on their behalf suddenly take on a more strident tone—if anything, the reverse. What changed was an aggressive top-down campaign from political and press elites. " www.liberalcurrents.com/britains-bat...

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.

For generations doctors have understood that germs — like bacteria or viruses — cause infectious diseases.   Yet we now have an HHS Secretary casting doubt on the germ theory — the foundation of modern medicine. That’s not only unacceptable, it is dangerous. RFK Jr. must resign.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

“We don’t erase history” says the sentient can of body spray who took Medgar Evers and Harvey Milk’s names off Navy ships

If the automated balls and strikes can overrule the umpire on appeal, isn't that an admission that it's more accurate? So why not just use it all the time?

Dear Andrew Cuomo, New Yorkers rejected you in the primary. And now you’re pressing them again to pick you? No means no.

Trump threatens to strip citizenship from a native-born US citizen because he doesn’t like her speech. I hope everyone on Wall Street and Silicon Valley who voted for Trump because he promised lower taxes is proud of themselves

You can argue they should have made a different expressive decision, but it's just wrong to say that they are engaging in censorship at all. Of course, you @rokhanna.bsky.social , as an elected official telling a bookstore what they must carry... seems like a bigger free speech concern.

Talked to Billy Bob Thornton outside the club where his band, the Boxmasters were playing.

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

I mean, sure, but the ends still don’t justify the means.

Host: Trump has wiped away the conviction of Scott Jenkins, a former Virginia local sheriff. A jury convicted Jenkins of accepting over $75,000 in bribes. The evidence included video of Jenkins taking bags of cash and firsthand accounts from co-conspirators

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

It appears that the Republican administration has started deporting people from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan, in blatant violation of court orders.

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead. No, it was working. They broke it. Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him. Now, his visa is being revoked. Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe. www.deseret.com/utah/2025/04...

The wellness industry is killing animals, spreading disease, and fueling the next pandemic

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Social Security is not paying large sums of money to people who are over 150 years old. That finding, trumpeted by Elon Musk, turned out to be a glitch in the recordkeeping, not evidence of massive fraud. By @sengelberg.bsky.social

The mass execution of paramedics by the Israeli army has been barely mentioned in the media. Students who speak up against the genocide have been targeted. But there are those who shine a light.

Look. Imagine you like brats and beer. You brew beer. Your neighbor likes beer but doesn't brew. Your other neighbor raises pigs and makes brats, but doesn't drink. So you sell beer to the first guy, and use the money to buy brats from the second guy. Now you've got beer AND brats. Total win.

Well now we know why DOGE invaded the US Institute of Peace: They wanted to take over its building for themselves so they could have a nice headquarters, so they figured they'd physically push everyone out and then fire them. Straight up thuggery. www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

RFK Jr. has hired anti-vaccine activist David Geier to lead a study looking to link autism to vaccines, although that link has been heavily studied and thoroughly debunked. Geier does not have a medical degree & was disciplined in Maryland for practicing medicine without a license. M(aking)AGA
