do you think they’re enjoying the main course yet at the Epstein Strategy Dinner or still sort of milling around

Trump calling the Epstein case a “hoax” and “total bullshit” is wild considering Epstein died in federal custody while Trump was president and they can’t even release an unedited tape let alone the files they promised.

Fox News shows mentioned Sydney Sweeney and her jeans ad 766 times in the span of a week. Jeffrey Epstein's name came up 53 times that same week, per @andrewkirell.bsky.social in today's Reliable Sources cnn.it/4foQAtk

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day.

1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

Harvard president receives standing ovation during commencement.

but seashells!

Craziness!

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Trump slams Fed's Powell over rates, saying termination can't 'come fast enough' U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's termination "cannot come fast enough," while calling for the U.S. central bank to cut interest rates, the sort of pressure that Powell just a day before had pledged to resist as the Fed grapples with an outlook complicated by Trump's own policies.

BYU grad student from Japan has visa revoked Attorney for computer science Ph.D. candidate believes a fishing license incident from years ago may have triggered visa revocation.

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him.

Now, his visa is being revoked.

Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Republican Senator Murkowski on threat of Trump retaliation: 'We are all afraid'

weird, what could explain this

Donald Trump was recorded in the Oval Office happily bragging about how much money his billionaire buddies made off of his shady tariff scheme. (Insider trading amuses and delights this group.)

“He made $2.5 million today, and he made $900 million! That’s not bad,” Trump said, pointing to…

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere. People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.

Nice to see 500 law firms banding together to support of the rule of law!

Time to speak up

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff
