Haven’t checked the news today. Has he dusted off Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” banner yet?

Just noticing that this account isn’t verified #Altgov

Happy to have a poem in this great new collection!

Wait…what?! He walks across Connecticut EVERY YEAR?

Whit words on a red background: Calling Gov. Newsom to Establish a CA Global Relief Fund: Feed the Children of Gaza

Join me in calling on @governor.ca.gov to establish a #California Global Child Relief Fund.

Someone has to feed the starving children in #Gaza.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social, will you lead?

Never, in 35 years of The Simpsons, has someone watched Homer working at the nuclear plant and said, “Yes, let’s do that!” Until today. And it was the President of the United States.

The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations.

I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

This (big beautiful) bill is less of a legislative bill and more of a “We’re gonna bust your kneecaps and you owe double next week,” to the average American citizen.

Really missed opportunity for them not to introduce the new pope with this song.

Pope Leo XIV (personal reasons) questionable for Game 3.

Middle East crisis live: Gaza population to be moved as part of ‘intensive’ offensive, Netanyahu says Israeli PM says people will be moved for their ‘own protection’ but does not give details about how much territory will be seized

How many times are we going to listen to them say what they are going to do, pretend like they won’t do it, then watch them do the exact thing they said they’d do? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

This is why those who read actual books are more protected.

Yeah, I said it.

Our society has been primed for this attack. Push people to have lower attention spans, read less, watch more tv/movies because less effort, less active, over work them, no time to think on their own. Easier to control.

Vu Le isn’t pulling any punches on this one. Good thing, as someone has to say it.

Who knew? This whole time, all we needed to advance scientific discovery was a 5-month deadline. Why stop with autism in September? Cure cancer by October! Alzheimer’s by November! Diabetes December! All rare diseases in 2026! Science! Health!

Photo of a gray-brown otter with a white chest. He is holding a rock in front of him with both hands and looking down fondly at it. His fur is spiky and slightly wet. He has long white whiskers and a small wrinkled brown nose. The caption reads "Did you know? Otters have a pocket in their skin to keep their favorite rock in. Some keep the same rock their entire lives."

It's been a heavy week! The only heaviness these otters have to worry about is the weight of their favorite object. Rock on, otters! 🪨🦦

Goodnight!

If you don’t watch anything else today, watch this 👇

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.

We can't. We need answers.

RFK Jr. says HHS will determine the cause of autism by September

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Narrator: it was indeed, market manipulation.

That's why they Elonned the SEC. All cheat codes, no cops!

Kid Rock makes music for dudes who are only allowed to see their kids on weekends, but don’t ! 😂😂😂

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Just another day in the United States of Stock Market Manipulation #tariffs

“Scary Subways” would be track 2 on the compilation album, “White Flight: The Suburban Conservatives’ Racist Hits, 1970-2000”

Just received this photo to a random Signal group I was added to called, Econ 2025. Can anyone help me decode it?

What sources have you found to be appropriately covering this mess? I’m mostly NPR and Guardian, but NYT still seems to have the most current info on politics. With the breakneck speed of things, I end up going to them just to find out what happened in the past hour. But yeah, the normalization 😒
