Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

CBS pulling the plug on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert well before the Midterms is probably just a wild coincidence.

Went with the whole family to see Superman last night. From start to finish, LOVED every last moment of it!!! Brilliant cast, perfect script, so much FUN… many 🙏s to @jamesgunn.bsky.social for getting it so right. 👍 Also: Is there a fan club for Krypto the super-pup I can join? #woof

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Happy 17th Anniversary to WALL-E! 🥳🎉

New Yorker cartoon of a giant monster destroying a city, flames, people fleeing, and one man points to the monster and says "Quick! Somebody get Chuck Schumer to write a strongly worded letter." Cartoon by Jason Adam Katzenstein

Chuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up.

In case you hadn't noticed:

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.

It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

This is really really scary and bad

Congrats @bluesky on 35m !

Bluesky may soon add blue check verification | TechCrunch Changes spotted in Bluesky's codebase indicate the app may soon get a blue check verification system, similar to the look of Twitter's.

I'm fine with verification by domain (obviously) but not everyone has a domain or wants to get one. I just hope any new Bluesky verification works like it's supposed to: a simple, widely-accessible verification of personal identity rather than a "prize."

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

Well, this is lovely

How come tax cuts for billionaires are affordable but student aid isn't?

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Surprise, surprise.

The Corrupt Supreme Court Strikes Again The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process.

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.
