I am beyond enraged. My father died at 66 from pancreatic cancer. He never got to meet his daughter-in-law let alone his granddaughter. In the time since he died in 2008, pancreatic cancer has risen to be the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths, up from 4th. These people are evil.

This probably flew under the radar screen (among all the other crap) but again Trump is trying to put his face/name on everything. New passport design unveiled sneakily adds his pic (possibly next-to-last page). Look in top left corner. h/t liveandletsfly.com/new-2028-us-... #avgeek

Lo and behold:

How come everybody else will only gets $5,000 when Natalie got $45,000?

My dad is gone nearly 19 years. Feel same.

This is Romney’s former campaign manager. Speaking as an ex-Republican staffer one thing I tell people is that no one will go to the mat against our former party more than people like us. First, we’re bitter and angry for having been apart of what turned out to be a colossal, fascist lie.

How is this not an @theonion.com headline?

The USMNT and Knicks being really good except for the precise moment when Trump involves himself is really funny

Just got strafed by a friggin’ B-1 bomber at midnight just inside the NW DC line. Sounded like it was in our living room despite being at 13K feet.

100% noticed that carefully crafted language too. Don't forget, Clarence Thomas was spotted in the US Capitol yesterday too. Wouldn't be surprised about a two-fer ...

"Judaism divorced from Zionism is now a winning political stance." Great moment for American Jews. Finally. Great piece explaining why.

🚨🚨

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

“He owns 11 homes” cannot be repeated enough

ABC’s Selina Wang was filming something on her iPhone at the White House when dozens of shots rang out. The White House is now under lockdown.

“.. The batch of comments in the May Kansas City Fed Manufacturing survey is interesting … with one of the more blunt ones being: “Sales have come to a stop.” (via Schwab)

Fascinating how the Trump Administration always gets its inspiration from the Nazis...

One thing lost in the IRS convo is that there will be a new president at some point who has every right in the world to revisit the conditions of the signed agreement. I suspect that arguments about upholding the good faith of govt contracts will be hard to hear through all the laughter.

This 80 second clip of Justice Robert Jackson’s opening statement will send shivers down your spine. Commit it to memory like the Gettysberg address. It’s even more important than Lincoln’s speech because we forgot his words the first time. We can’t promise “never again” if we don’t remember.

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

I feel this so deeply in my soul as a 51 yo with a 4 yo who refuses to eat on principle unless it's rice, pasta or some sugary sht. f'ing 4s is right.

Not the Situation Room …

This is incredible news. Some really smart scientists, thank you. And to think RFK, HHS & maga wants to end mRNA research. Pancreatic cancer, which killed my dad, is the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths. It was 4th when he died in 2008, so it’s getting worse. www.nbcnews.com/health/cance...

BREAKING: There it is. 2 week extension. TACO.

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

A great post about fertilizer prices — and the 2nd/3rd/4th order effects:

Should surprise no one, this assault on 1st Amendment & TV broadcasters came from Mar-a-Lago after Trump chat. Btw, Trump's complaints are largely about cable news, which aren't regulated like TV stations' public interest licenses. Oh what about radio which is ~95-5 conservative w/no equal time?
