Drug Enforcement Administration officers patrolling the National Mall. If you know DC you understand how tremendously goofy this is (h/t @lorenzohall1.bsky.social)

This is my daughter‘s service dog Atlas. I increasingly refer to him as Sweet Butter or my Sweet Butter Cream, because he is all of those.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%. #NASADidThat

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

A snickerdoodle fluffernutter is doable.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Yeah, it's just obvious that someone who reads the NYT daily will encounter a lot more information that makes them skeptical of Trump than someone who doesn't. Again, that doesn't mean that the Times can't do better than it is. But the idea that it played a major role in reelecting Trump is silly.

When your white supremacy is on a collision course with your stupidity.

“A review of Hegseth’s thesis by The Daily Princetonian, in consultation with three experts on plagiarism, found eight instances of uncredited material, sham paraphrasing, and verbatim copying.”

Harvard did not officially grade or respond to Linda McMahon’s letter. After McMahon posted a critical letter to Harvard University, an edited version highlighting grammatical errors went viral on social media.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie. 🤡

This winter felt very long to me.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.

"A lack of audible protest against Trump’s tariff chaos is one of the biggest failures of leadership in corporate history" Having failed to mobilize against Trump's disastrous tariff policy, US CEOs have caused their companies trillions of $ in losses. www.ft.com/content/3c99...

Any new Bartees Strange fans here, I gotta say you should check out his entire back catalog. Besides his original albums, check the singles, b-sides, cover songs, collabs, things he's produced, video performances like the two Tiny Desks (the first got me through covid, as they say).

It’s good to be writing a piece of music and feel to yourself “that’s good, that’s good. I like it“

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

Guy who claims to be a master dealmaker can’t even strike a deal with one of his closest allies to secure the return of a man he mistakenly sent to prison?

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Raskin: The basis for this most destructive trade war in the history of the world is the profound economic research and policy writings of one Ron Vera, a completely fictional economist conjured up by Peter Navarro, a real person who Elon Musk just called a moron

"You want to see a market crash? If we lost this election, I think the market would go down the tubes" -- Donald Trump, 10/29/24

In 1930, 6 months after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were enacted by President Hoover, world trade decreased by SIXTY PERCENT (60%). Because of policies like the Smoot-Hawley tariffs contributing to the Great Depression in the 1930's, Hoover is considered one of our WORST president's. Sound familiar?
