Chaos for Trump and GOP—The House Budget Committee blocks the GOP tax and spending bill from advancing in a 16–21 vote. Republicans Clyde, Roy, Brecheen, Norman, and Smucker voted NO. An embarrassing setback for Johnson and Trump from their own party.

RBFF Faces Shutdown Without Federal Funding - Trade Only Today
A Department of the Interior funding freeze threatens the group and its national participation programs.
Important reminder:
Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.
Sometimes the world doesn't suck. 🙂
Letter from a girl in Maine who finished second to a trans athlete in Cross country. I've always thought cross country kids are the best sports athletes.

That's Trump-speak for "she reminds me of my daughter". 🙄
For everyone who may have thought that the author responsible for "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets", "Homicide: Life on the Street", "The Wire" and others, must be a real hard-ass, yes he is. Nevertheless, there's a lot more going on. As a famous person might say, nuance is a thing. 🙂
Just to clarify, "Interference" means "recording and broadcasting/posting videos of heavily armed unbadged thugs smashing car windows with axes and/or grinding children's faces into asphalt".

Trump Dementia Syndrome
Trump: So where is it?
A: Queens
Trump: I know the area well. I grew up in Queens… Will they be using that in the Olympics?
To all my fellow mariners, this is why we can't have nice things.

Cape harbormasters unhappy over Coast Guard plan to remove buoys along the coast
The US Coast Guard's modernization initiative proposes to discontinue hundreds of buoys from Maine to northern NJ. Public comments deadline is June 13
The out of control Trump regime loyalist Kristi Noem forced the US Coast Guard to make a last-minute change to its 2025 budget to fund a private Gulfstream V jet for her personal use—redirecting the funds from the Coast Guard’s aid and rescue operations. She already owns one but wanted a new one.

Yes, because as far as spork-foot McTramp is concerned, killing a black man shouldn't be considered a crime. 🙄
"The mix of degraded research, observations and forecasts with this era's propensity for more intense hurricanes could be incendiary."
These started again today. No one knows who will be impacted by a hurricane in 2025. But I know one thing. It's going to be a season like no other. The mix of degraded research, observations and forecasts with this era's propensity for more intense hurricanes could be incendiary.
With a boardwalk, a casino, a dozen hotels and, of course, a McDonald's.
I spent some quality time yesterday at an academic medical center (everything went well). The only thing I really enjoy about trips to the hospital are seeing the very diverse employee team members all working side by side. 🙂
Excellent.
Protestors have gathered outside of federal court in Milwaukee in support of judge Hannah Dugan, who faces arraignment later this morning
Signs read “Stop Trump’s war on democracy”, “Hands off due process”; “Stop the coup”
If the only way someone knows how to reply to a Democrat who's on the wrong side of an issue is with a "GFY", or some similar type of trolling, I'm happy to report their post(s) and mute & block their accounts. 🙂

What's Walmart?
🚨 WALMART RAISING PRICES DUE TO TARIFFS
“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO says.
Yo,Aric, keep Foston's name out of your bucking mouth.
Shocking.
Smartmatic has accused Fox News and Murdoch of “orchestrating the destruction of text messages across all levels of their corporate hierarchy… despite a clear duty to preserve evidence.”

Red Cybertrucks escorting Trump in Qatar.
Perfect match: an overhyped, glitchy Cybertruck escorting a grievance-filled President with overinflated ego.
About 30 years ago a software developer told me he balanced his checkbook by hand instead of using Quicken or MS-Money because "2 plus 2 only equals 4 if I say it does".
Remember, AI isn't a search engine, it's an answer engine and it's the programmers who decide what the answers are.
I understand the impulse to ask AI why things are happening when it’s acting weird but it can’t actually tell you because it doesn’t know anything!
That’s the whole point and the reason it’s acting weird in the first place! It doesn’t know what it’s saying or why!
Democratic Senators: In a world of Richard Blumenthals, be a Chris Murphy.
@blumenthal.senate.gov - I knew this bill was N.G. as soon as I saw that Trump regime supporter Marsha Blackburn is in favor of it. We are in the fight of our lives to save Democracy. Unless if a Republican suddenly decides to help, this is no time for "working across the aisle".
THIS is how you communicate with Democrats who are on the wrong side of an issue for what they think are the right reasons.
Sen. Blackburn & I made a promise to parents & young people when we started fighting for the Kids Online Safety Act—we will make this bill law. There’s undeniable awareness of the harms caused by Big Tech’s exploitive, addictive algorithms, & inescapable momentum for reform.

I don't want to say United Health would love to kill us all, but when RFK, Jr.'s reign of terror in the Trump regime is over he'll be United Health's first choice to be their CEO.
I've had to spend way too much time this evening reporting & blocking the accounts that have replied with disgusting comments that are better suited for that Nazi-owned site so many of us fled from. With that out of the way, let me just say that "partnering" with Senator Blackburn IS NOT HELPFUL!!!

Trump's cuts to the National Weather Service will make hurricanes and tornadoes harder to predict, endangering countless lives & livelihoods. But NOAA does much more than that. Here are ten lesser-known responsibilities of NOAA scientists:
