I kinda miss the old days when social media wasn’t the source for news.

Steve Herman@newsguy.bsky.social

Former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall, who has publicly raised concerns regarding US military vulnerabilities and critical munition shortages, is being punished by the Pentagon.

Those of the Epstein Class are very different from ordinary people. The wealthiest 1% own more than the other 99%.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

The wealthiest 1% of US earners now own 50.1% of US equity and mutual fund holdings. To put this into perspective, their ownership stood at 40.1% in 1990 and 39.6% in 2001.

“Haven’t thought about it” “Haven’t heard about it” “We didn’t talk about it” Plagiarism of the Speaker?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

DOOCY: There's a parasite that is giving people in the US explosive diarrhea. When is it gonna be safe to eat lettuce again. TRUMP: I don't know. I haven't thought about it. Are you eating a lot of lettuce Peter?

Fraud for me, but not for thee? When the State Attorney General misuses his right to vote, that should be the end of his political career. Will Texans see it that way?

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: James Talarico accused Ken Paxton of committing voter fraud after ProPublica and @texastribune.org found that the Texas attorney general may have broken state law by voting using an address where he no longer appears to live.

Without even seeing the original post, I bet you know who the subject is here. 💰

Thief thieving, grifter grifting, con conning? Civilly liable rapist pillaging? Old fraudster doing what he's always done.

Bad news for anyone who eats food!

Reuters Legal@legal.reuters.com

U.S. producer prices posted their biggest increase in four years in April, boosted by soaring costs for goods and services, the latest sign of accelerating inflation amid the war with Iran.

From the mouths of babes…

Aaron Black@aaronblack.bsky.social

Someone asked a bunch of kids what the first thing was that cane to mind when they thought about Trump. Their answers are priceless. Check out the video.

Donald Trump's war with Iran is now costing Americans $1.56 more for a gallon of gas. Instead of protecting working Americans from the Trump Administration’s skyrocketing costs, the Republican-led Congress is helping them do more destruction.

So true!

The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us

55% of Americans feel worse off financially than at any point in the past 25 years. You're already paying for gas, utilities, groceries... and if the GOP gets their way - Trump's ballroom as well.

Just keep in mind we wouldn't be in this position if Trump hadn't torn up Obama's nuclear deal, which Iran was abiding by. This was all avoidable !

👀 Oh. My. Gawd. Now we know why Melania gave that Epstein presser on Thursday. An interview with Amanda Ungaro is about to be released by El Pais on Sunday morning (and it’s after midnight right now in Spain). And on Monday, she will be on CNN.

All congressional dems should show up in DC and with an overwhelming unified public display of alarm. Take a public stand as the opposition party. bsky.app/profile/verm...

Garrett M. Graff@vermontgmg.bsky.social

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

Trump: “You can’t put nuclear weapons in the hands of lunatics.” He said with a straight face.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Melania Trump: All of this is happening for their future. They will be safe in the years to come. Trump: We are fighting for the children who are in a war zone.

Heartbreaking, enraging, criminal, and more!

Dittie@dittie.sheshed.rocks

A father fought for months to get his young daughter out of U.S. immigration custody. When he finally did, he discovered something devastating—his 3-year-old daughter had allegedly been sexually abused while in a foster home in Texas. No one told him. #SheShed

ICYMI - Samuel L. Jackson narrated this powerful video for Saturday's No Kings rally about the strength of Minnesotans protesting ICE: "When your neighbors are being attacked and your communities are being targeted, you don't give up. You don't look away. You don't back down. You showed up."

Trump does not abide by the constitution so he is not going to abide by any international Codes of conduct.

“This is our time. Not someday. Now. The momentum is ours, the seats are flipping, the voters are organizing, and the movement is growing stronger every day. The suburbs are fired up. The red states are showing up. Millions of Americans took to the streets on a Saturday in March. Millions.” 💙

Seriously?! I think he got the name wrong. Should be The Trump First Award. And NEVER be awarded again. Ever.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Mike Johnson: Tonight we have created a new award. We are going to do something we've never done before. We will honor him with a new award. He is the first ever recipient of the America first award. That is this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the golden era.

Ouch! That hits right in the pocketbook. Just adds to the pressure from fuel prices, medical costs, and groceries.

OKC405@okc405.bsky.social

Multiple independent analyses report that Oklahoma now has the highest homeowners’ insurance costs in the nation, averaging about $6,133 per year. That’s 2.2× the national average of $2,801. Premiums in Oklahoma have risen 50.8% since 2019, outpacing the national increase of 40.4%.

1. HealthEquity, the nation's largest administrator of health savings accounts, just donated $1 MILLION to Trump's Super PAC. Previsouly, the company had never donated more than 5K to any political committee WTF is going on? 🧵

I’m running out of words descriptive enough for the messed up priorities of Rs.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

I got this urgent message from Speaker Johnson decrying how much trouble his party is in…and it makes me happy in a cascade of much scary news this week.
