I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

What kind of numerals do you use when you make up fake statistics about vaccine harms, you shitweasel?

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

I know of a mother who was snatched up by ICE as she was boarding a plane to go to her son’s graduation from a military academy. She was not undocumented, had no criminal record, and had been here for decades. She was expelled to a country in Africa she’d never been to before.

Nick Miroff@nickmiroff.bsky.social

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This both answers a question I've had all along (Where is all that Venezuelan oil money *going*?) and is super-duper-extra-ooper unconstitutional. Just like any other arm of the government, the military doesn't get money until and unless Congress says it does.

In dollar value, the Venezuela oil scheme ($13 billion) is TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE worse than Iran Contra ($140 million, inflation-adjusted). It's impossible to overstate how much MORE corrupt Trump is than every single American who has ever come before him. We're completely without precedent.

nationalize everything Elon Musk owns.

CNN@cnn.com

Just two days before launching an effort to slash red tape for commercial space transportation, President Trump last month purchased up to $5 million of bonds issued by SpaceX, a major federal contractor run by Elon Musk, according to ethics filings made public on Thursday. https://cnn.it/4rRrZU0

A huge win for Pittsburgh’s workers. Proud to stand with @cwaunion.bsky.social and @newsguild.org in the fight for the wages, benefits, and dignity workers deserve.

Nine years ago we told the Blocks they were going down a bad path. Today they hit the end of the road as the Supreme Court joined a very long list of people who also told them so. Humble appreciation to everyone who worked to hold the Blocks accountable. That family owes us a LOT of money.

There is no NSF leadership. They were removed and never replaced.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

One striking difference between NIH and NSF is that NIH seems to have leadership able to push back against Vought, as well as a broader public base of support in Congress. NSF leadership seem to be doing nothing to push back against the killing of social science research.

This Gainey investigation is going to get so so messy now that the affidavit is public, but already I can’t tell you how BATSHIT BONKERS BANANAS INSANE this part is. I legitimately can’t wrap my head around this level of municipal stupidity.

I'm not the kind to say it all points back to a single historical episode, but so much of what Trump is doing with ballroom & Kennedy Center—the wanton destruction, the callous indifference to the past—was evident when he destroyed Bonwit Teller's irreplaceable sculptures nearly a half-century ago

Michael Lobel@mlobelart.bsky.social

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower
