Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

Sick fucks

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

being this fucking high in public has always been my nightmare

BREAKING: Trump says he will 'take a look' at possible pardons for men convicted of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

Watch as a herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo protect their calves, Mkhaya and Zuli, during a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that shook Southern California. The animals repeated the behavior during an aftershock, but went back to their daily routines when the situation seemed safe. nyti.ms/3Eo2uW8

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

Trump has spent more than a quarter of his 69 days in office playing golf, costing taxpayers $26 million. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Amid 20,000 HHS jobs lost, here's one new hire: A fixture of the anti-vaccine movement, brought in to study the link b/t vaccines and autism. Mr. Kennedy has been citing him since '05. w @sherylnyt.bsky.social & Emily Baumgartner GIFT: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

Trump says Mike Waltz will lead Signal chat probe, the same man who Atlantic editor Jeff Goldberg reported added him to the group. Michael Freeman notes: "Not unlike OJ searching for the real killer."

Joe Biden on life support would have been better than this

Real men cry. #masculinity

Elon Musk is pushing to end phone services at Social Security, which 73 million retired and disabled Americans rely on to apply for and access their earned government benefits.

Donald Trump promised to run the country the same way he ran his businesses—and he sure did. Promise made, promise kept.

Our own Rick Wilson hits the nail on the head: Trump is not “making deals” or “playing chess”, he’s just an idiot. Watch the LP Podcast to hear more: bit.ly/4kw7vvV

Something to bookmark: Potash is essential for modern agriculture. **Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*. {gift link}

Awful. Though Mr. Bezos can take solace that as the publisher of a major newspaper, this still leaves him an ethical pratfall or two shy of Patrick Soon-Shiong, who is whoring and debasing the L.A. Times at a better clip. He'll need to pick up the pace. Democracy dies in selfish, groveling greed.

DOGE savings (WSJ): $2.6b TSLA subsidies (10 years): $15b Annual increase in deficit: $900b Cuts to Medicare: $880b

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: Donald Trump “looks forward to watching the game tonight — and we look forward to the United States beating our soon-to-be 51st state, Canada." Laughingstock of the world

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why. How has Trump responded? By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.
