Water after water, hour after hour. Spilling, pooling, churning, descending.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

Good morning! The Fire Weather outlook for today has been upgraded to critical status for portions of west central Florida including the Tampa-Sarasota-Fort Myers area. Do not burn outdoors and watch those cigarettes!

Trump is finding out that leaders around the world are not as gullible and easy to manipulate as his cult base. And he seems genuinely surprised by that. That's the funny part.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Hoo boy, that was a tough listen. Two women in a department store, browsing racks right next to me, discussing 'immigrants'. I had to walk away when one said '...and you know what? We'll never get them all out of here either'.

There's just no helping some people. 🙄 #Its2026

I don’t understand folks who say Bluesky doesn’t have as much content as Twitter.

I get as much content for a day here as I can possibly handle, thank you very much.

Nine lessons for the US from Viktor Orbán’s defeat | Kenneth Roth As US elections approach, the Hungarian prime minister’s loss is a reminder that history does not march relentlessly toward autocracy

"Hungarian voters’ April 12 rejection of Orbán also holds important lessons for Americans who hope to resist Trump’s own autocratic tendencies," writes @kennethroth.bsky.social.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

It's the "tell", all the MAGA morons and sycophants fail to answer that yes or no question.
Warsh, who is in the Epstein files, will put this country into a recession.
That's fucking guaranteed.
The man who bankrupted casinos squatting in the WH will be calling the shots. Zero independence.
Fuck

I’m sure they’ll confirm another rich white boy to steal our tax dollars & do Trump’s bidding. None of them have integrity

No one ever nominated by Trump will be independent…they’ve all swallowed the kool-aid, shelved their ethics and will do “their master’s“ bidding!

"tRump "sock puppet" as Senator Warren says. She's spot on.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Firefox’s New Boss Has a Very Old-School Plan: 'Build a Better Browser' I spoke with Firefox's head, Ajit Varma, about why the company is returning to fundamentals after years of decline.

To win back users, the new Firefox head's plan is deceptively simple: "Build better features, build a better browser, and then people will use it."

"This is an important thing to think about."

Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap. 

Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first.

Let’s make it happen.
