Portland ICE goons violently slam a protester 🪧
He called his 17 year-old daughter “a piece of ass”, so, yes.
This Stephen Colbert monologue from Monday night, followed by a bit about the MAGA contingent calling for Trump to release the Epstein files, is the reason why Paramount fired Colbert and canceled his show.
That, and the Midterm elections are coming up, and he would continue to go after Trump.
RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM.
They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone.

Insanity. Sheer insanity.
Sen. Jim Banks on the job held by a fired federal worker he mocked: "It was a woke job."
Then in the next breath Banks admits he doesn't know what his job actually was.
FACT: You don't destroy the CDC unless you want people to die in large numbers.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.
Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.
It’s been the plan for decades.
The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.
Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities
ICE Barbie Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a Coast Guard pilot today.
This isn't going to stop. This country is a powder keg about to blow and this is just a sign of it. You cannot move this quickly to dismantle democracy and expect people not to react.
Illinois leads the nation in many areas, but none more so than being the number one producer of soybeans, horseradish, and pumpkins.
Our ag traditions are passed down through generations — 96% of our farms are family-owned.
Happy #NationalAgDay to them and all of our state!
Sometimes I wonder if people take me literally when I refer to Trump—the main subject of my professional research as a journalist and historian for ten years—as a lunatic.
Please take me literally. This is an unwell man who—without $410+ million his dad gave him—would have ended up living in a box.
This guy co-sponsored a bill to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" classified as a mental illness YESTERDAY.
He still hasn’t ended the war in 24 hours like he promised, but apparently he is setting up hockey games with the guy who is murdering civilians, torturing prisoners, and kidnapping children.
Friendly reminder that the monster criticized by Chief Justice Roberts was created by Chief Justice Roberts.
Sorry not sorry.
From Scotland for ya Donnie
This "immediate cancellation" violates the law. If the Admin thinks Columbia has violated Title VI by being deliberately indifferent to antisemitic harassment, it has to give Columbia a chance for a hearing first, make findings on the record, & wait 30 days.

A tweet from John Cusack featuring an edited image of a red Tesla Cybertruck with a swastika on its side. The image includes bold white text reading "SWASTICAR" and a subheading in red stating "...THE FASCIST THING ON FOUR WHEELS."
At least the memes from this era will be killer.
"There are so many stories we never could have told if not for the connections we made on Twitter. But that bird has flown the coop," Ashton Pittman writes.
