- Alt-text: "Since the Inauguration on Jan 20, Trump administration officials have announced new or revised tariff policies more than 50 times ... A separate tally ... has found about 55 such actions."
- Laughable
- Unconstitutional.
- While I disagree with much in this self congratulatory NYT defense, I do agree with this: “As the free press and democracy more broadly face this period of pressure, I’d urge you to support both by seeking out news sources worthy of your trust.” Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
- So, @inquirer.com & @propublica.org

- THIS IS A THESAURUS. IT ALREADY EXISTED
- So this is a synonym for a thesaurus ... 🙄
- In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Across the world, we’ve seen democracy in retreat,” writes A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times. “This anti-press playbook is now being used here in this country — and it could not come at a more difficult time for the American press.”

- Again 😡 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/w...
- The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?
- Trevor Noah said it years ago, he's an African strong man ...
- I'm sorry, Chicago, I have betrayed you
- Venial sin at worst
- Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
- Do something
- Bash: "The costs of tariffs are paid by American consumers." Lutnick: "I disagree with that." Bash: "Well, okay, most economists disagree with you on that and we have seen it passed off time and time again to the American consumer."
- Stop the interview at the lie.
- Kat Cammack goes full North Korean: "The man sleeps 4 hours. He's running circles around his 23 year old staffers. The man has endless, endless energy. Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and I think his only vice is Diet Coke."
- Well, there's also the criming, the lying, the sexual assault, the fraud, ... Is bankruptcy a vice? 🙄
- No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

- "Revlimid is ... extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each daily pill. (Although, I later discovered, a capsule costs just 25 cents to make.)" So a 400,000% markup.
- New from @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social: When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.

- My extremely traditional hypermasculine dad was complaining that, “you’re not allowed to be a man anymore” and I said, “no, you can, being a man is good, you just can’t be a dick to people,” and he thought about that for a minute then nodded. “Alright, yeah, that makes sense.” There’s still hope!

- He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.
- #ETTD, in this case literally
- An HBO executive has promised fans of the Harry Potter franchise that the upcoming reboot television series will not be “infused” with J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans beliefs.
- Too late
- To be clear, Germany is cracking down on a Neo-Nazi party, and the US government is defending the Neo-Nazi party
- What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.
