“Trump has turned government websites into campaign billboards. This isn’t public service, it’s Trump fan fiction.”

Johnson accused of delaying Democrat's swearing in to avoid Epstein vote Democrats are accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of delaying swearing in a new representative over Epstein files.

Unbelievable! Seaker Johnson is refusing to swear Adelita Grijalva into the House of Representatives, though her election was a landslide.

She's the tipping vote that will force the release of the Epstein files against his campaign to suppress them.

Donald Trump is extremely mad at @biologicaldiversity.org today for winning a last-minute TRO saving sacred Apache land at Oak Flat from being given to a foreign mining company to destroy.

He can choke on his own sickening allcaps bile for all I care. We'll never give up the fight for Oak Flat.

Number sticker saying "MY MOM IS ON TH "86" LIST AT CHILKOOT CHARLIE'S"

Is the FBI going to investigate Chilkoot Charlie's for threatening to assassinate this poor fellow's mother?

Who knew Anchorage's most iconic bar keeps a kill list!

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Why is there something instead of nothing?
And how is the asking built into the hunting?

Trump Threats to Tax-Exempt Status: Can the Rhetoric Become Reality? Nonprofits are bracing for what may represent the administration’s most direct action against them to date. Experts caution groups not to panic.

“It’s a total success for Trump if all the actions get struck down by the courts, but he has bullied and intimidated the funders to stop donating to environmental causes,” Suckling said. “If you’re not fighting, you’re allowing our nation to veer into a facism."

Trump twice today, in front of the media, said he wants to deport "home-grown" American citizens to prisons in El Salvador.

Vengeance of the AI era: Palo Alto crosswalks were hacked into this weekend to play various recordings of Zuck & Musk saying some sad & naughty things. 😅 #goodtrouble #Teslatakedown

See you in court orange man.

Interior will no longer pursue lengthy analysis for oil and gas leasing decisions in seven states | Bureau of Land Management The Department of the Interior will no longer require the Bureau of Land Management to prepare an environmental impact statement for approximately 3,224 oil and gas leases in seven Western states.

Totally irrational, even from an industry perspective.

Stopping the EIS doesn't change BLM's requirement to comply with environmental laws. It just 1) makes it much harder for BLM to not violate the law, and 2) easier for environmental groups to sue the BLM and win.

A hamster / mister saddlebags with EXTREMELY chubby cheeks

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

BREAKING: Trump today issued his most unhinged, illegal Executive Order yet. It orders federal agencies to "sunset" nearly all U.S. enviromental regulations implementing everything from the Endangered Species Act to the Safe Drinking Water Act.

@biologicaldiversity.org will sue the second he tries.

The dire wolf has NOT been brought back from extinction

Colossal Biosciences just edited a few genes in a gray wolf to make it superficially look like a dire wolf

It has repeatedly made fraudulent deextinction claims about other species to raise investor money and the media falls for it EVERY TIME

Here in the U.S. we drag massive chains across public lands destroying the pinyon and juniper trees in a vain attempt to produce more cattle feed.
