Proud to say this is one of my Senators, and one of the few that seem to notice the obvious corruption.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

1. The thing about Donald Trump is that he's bad at being president. I don't mean tyrannical or fascist or criminal or corrupt. Those adjectives obviously apply, but I mean *just plain bad*.

I happen to have Natalie Harp clips from 2021 because of a project I worked on in graduate school. The clips are NOT AI generated but 100%. I have more content coming - check out the video if you want to know more.

Imagine declassifying documents to prove your claims, only for them to do the exact opposite. Everything Trump does is half-assed. You just know this dude cheated his way through school. The best analysis I’ve seen so far. 🧵

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

TIL, Alfred Molina is in this scene.

Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social

It’s the 45th anniversary weekend of “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” 🎂 Alfred Molina, on how they shot his tarantula sequence: “Steven’s, like, ‘Alfred! Alfred! Look scared! Look scared!’ “I’m, like, ‘I’m scared!’” 🙏🏼

Ooooh, are we sharing fables? I got one for you. So, there's this frog that enters public service, presumably for the right reasons. He spends years as a district judge, then gets elected to the state supreme court, then attorney general of that state. (thread)

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

Thanks for assuming what I want to drive. FTR it's a Subaru Impreza, which is fairly small. Hard for a guy with disabilities to get in a really small car.

When I worked at Wells Fargo, my coworkers were on SNAP.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Holy shit, I think this is giving me another stroke.

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

And he's so brave he disabled both comments and quote posts

If that is true, why do you get so mad at getting dragged here. Just leave. Your framing of cancel culture as a problem is completely a-historical. What do you call what the right did to the Dixie Chicks? Do you know about Gamergate? Are Republicans ever responsible for their own choices?

1. The investigation is ongoing in the murder of rightwing hate-monger Charlie Kirk. The shooter remains on the loose. There’s a flurry of reporting, but very little is solid. In the meantime, here are some thoughts. Forgive me if they’re outdated by the time you read this.

NEW: In an open letter to Joe Rogan, I explain how he got played by FBI director Kash Patel, when Patel was recently on his show. I hope Rogan gets a chance to read it and do his own research. Please pass this on—especially to Rogan fans you know. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Guarantee he doesn't know who fired first, or who won.

Trump: "If you look at the end of the Civil War -- the 1800s, it was a very turbulent time. If you take the end day -- was it 1869? Or whatever."

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️
