This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I'm A Pro Wrestling Referee. I Almost Witnessed A Deathmatch Wrestler Bleed Out In The Ring.

A fake Boston Globe front page for April 2017. Headlines include, “deportations to begin: President Trump calls for tripling of ice force, riots continue,” “US soldiers refuse orders to kill Isis families,” “ market sink as trade wars loom,” “ new libel law targets ‘absolute scum’ in press” “ Trump on Nobel Prize shortlist,”

In 2016, before Trump secured the GOP nomination, the Boston Globe made a fictional dystopian front page of what a nightmare world it would be if Trump won. And those just pretty much are our actual headlines now.

Here’s the clip.

From the great David Brooks of The New York Times, in the May volume of The Atlantic. Everyone should read every word of this historic piece. It's worth the price of a subscription to The Atlantic, without question the most courageous magazine in America today.

CNN becomes the first US media outlet to report on Putin's Murmansk speech in which he essentially said "I get Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics, Trump gets Greenland, Panama and Canada." Other US media ignores it.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Families used to manage just fine in smaller vehicles such as station wagons which aren't really being provided for sale anymore sadly.

How SUVs Are Making Traffic Worse As larger, taller sport utility vehicles took over US roads, they also aggravated highway congestion, according to a new study. It’s yet another ill effect of “car bloat.”

A groundbreaking new study found that the surge in SUVs from 1995 to 2019 reduced Minnesota's highway lane capacity by 9.5%.

Less lane capacity --> More congestion

Me, in CityLab 🧵

Brian Glenn tweets: "His wardrobe is a direct reflection of the lack of respect Zelensky has for our country. Period. Critics can make fun of me all they want. I don’t care. 🇺🇸"

Much of the commentary on Twitter surrounds whether Zelenskyy was disrespectful by not wearing a suit to the meeting. There are hundreds of tweets at this point, but I'm only showing one, which captures the MAGA sentiment.

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof

Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

The kid spills the beans

Just an uninteresting video that was made on Election Night starring Elon and his kid. Nothing to see here. Nothing to worry about at all.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts.

2025 has been my least favorite decade so far.

For anyone who hasn't already saved it to their Favorites. It's going to get a lot of use for the foreseeable future.

Bishop Mariann Budde, who is wearing red, white and black vestments, speaks from a lectern within an ornate pulpit adorned with red and white flowers. Headline reads: "The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: 'Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?'" Photo credit: Doug Mills/The New York Times.

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

So, she took a breath, and spoke. nyti.ms/3WtmNY2

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Coming to a U.S. federal agency near you? BOLO.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Then California should just take what they need out of the money they send to Washington. We send much more than we get back. F U Mike
