What a stupid use of trained federal agents.

Firing government officials who give him bad news isn’t exactly helping Trump beat the accusation that he wants to be king.

Would be hilariously on brand for Trump to force out a Republican he hates in order to get a MAGA weirdo who will lose to the Democrat in the general election. Without Collins, the GOP could kiss that Maine senate seat goodbye.

It’s absolutely impossible to think this is the result of good faith legal analysis, especially when they refuse to provide any reasons!

I'm jealous of people born after 2008, who do not think "oh man imagine if Michelle Obama said this" every time one of these quotes shoots out.

The youth will never understand how furious Fox et al were at the First lady having a healthy food initiative.

I’m going to say this again

The president is taxing American consumers to try to do a favor for one of his political allies

If Texas was a Democratic state, does anyone doubt that Trump would be blaming the Governor for the devastating flash flooding?

Just listened to this and the point struck me as a) obvious and b) somehow, completely overlooked. All those able bodied young men playing video games on their mom’s basement, enjoying that sweet free… chemotherapy?

He’s basically a Bond villain at this point, complete with the evil monologues. We all know he would love to build a moat filled with “sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads”

Juneteenth celebrates the struggle for freedom, and history teaches us that freedom must be fought for and defended tirelessly. Let us always remember that, and act on that knowledge.

Hesdra was a successful businesswoman and property owner, which was exceptionally rare for a Black woman during the mid 19th Century, and she used her connections in Nyack to help people escaping slavery on the Underground Railroad. A new plaque now stands by the bench to tell her remarkable story

Today on Juneteenth, I attended the rededication of the Bench by the Road in Nyack’s Memorial Park. Originally dedicated by the late Toni Morrison in 2015, the bench honors Cynthia Hesdra, a pioneering figure in Rockland’s Black history.

They’re cutting food stamps so that Trump can cosplay as a caudillo

I hope, if nothing else, what's going on in LA will remind the nation's young people that true rebelliousness is not saying slurs that HR told you not to say, it's fighting fascists who are using state power to suppress speech & impose violence on marginalized groups.

Canada Wants to Kill 400 Ostriches. Kennedy and Dr. Oz Want to Save Them.

Apparently the people running our government are more worried about a flock of Canadian ostriches with bird flu getting euthanized than the hundreds of thousands of people in Africa dying of preventable diseases and starvation because Elon Musk illegally cut funding for food aid and medicine.

Sounds like a snowflake to me lol

Our government is for sale!

Unlike our current president, I actually know the meaning of Memorial Day, and it’s not an opportunity to rant about your political opponents. Grateful to the many veterans and community members who attended ceremonies in Rockland County. We always remember the fallen.

I’m sorry this is literally deranged. What does this even mean?!

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

Every antisemite in history has had a story about why THEIR anti-Jewish abuse and violence was justified. If you're doing this today, you're not special and you haven't landed on the one clever case where antisemitism is good; you're just another in a long line of bad people justifying bad things.

The replies to this are full of people yelling at Kat, a Palestinian-American politician, for not supporting the shooting of low-level staffers in DC, which has only had the effect of drawing coverage *away* from the genocide in Gaza & provided a pretext for future suppression of peaceful protests.

Kennedy and Trump Paint Bleak Picture of U.S. Children as ‘Sickest Generation’

Trump and RFK Jr. say today's kids are "the sickest generation in American history." Is that just a feeling? Here are some facts:
About 46% of children born in the U.S. in 1800 did not live to see their 5th birthday. In 1900, the figure was 24%. Now it's under 1%.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

There are lots of wrong definitions of habeas one could give, but this is just about the *most* wrong definition possible.

Imagine a cabinet member being asked to define freedom of speech and answering that it’s the government’s right to stop you from criticizing them. About the same.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

Just catching up on the news

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck.

So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/
