Sorry, but I fail to see how any of this 'texting' has anything to do with Jack Smith. Jack Smith did not participate in them. No wonder they flashed the damn board and took it down as quickly as they put it up.

It really does not matter what the polls say. Trump has too much to lose to just sit idle and allow the dems to take the house and senate. He will stop at nothing to stay in office and that includes having Musk use his wealth and tech toys to rig the election ... again.

I am sooooo tired of people who 'stay out of politics' thinking that the Trump carnage is indicative of 'BOTH sides' ... it is NOT. Sheeran is showing his own ignorance and complete lack of humanity.

I can not even imagine what a 300K evacuation looks like ... the roadways would be at a stand-still and where do they go. Trump likely thinks that their leadership forgot to turn the spigot to release water, just like the California gov.

Susan Collins voted for $70 billion in ICE funding just before an ICE agent gunned down a young immigrant father in Maine. Collins also voted against an amendment requiring bodycams. These votes will now be hung around her neck, Dems in the state tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2133...

Trump Badly Screws Susan Collins as Maine ICE Death Takes Darker Turn
Collins cast some recent votes that can help likely Democratic challenger Troy Jackson tie her to Trump and to ICE. And there’s evidence that both liberals and moderates will listen.

Volunteering at the food bank this morning and we had to discard 4 cases of Taylor Farms salad bowls that were donated by a local grocery chain a couple of days ago. They gave us recalled food knowing it was contaminated, and wrote it off as a donation. 🤬

Our Foster Momma of 6 pups (11 weeks old) is no longer nursing and was spayed on Tuesday. She had a meet &greet today and found her forever home with a retired lady who instantly fell in love with momma. They will be a comfort to each other. My heart is overjoyed that she is going to a great home!

"Only once before has America had a president this old — and that time, we held an extended and furious debate about whether age had rendered the octogenarian unable to do his job. By comparison, discussion of Trump’s age has been quiet and infrequent." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

What if we covered Trump's age the way we covered Biden's?
His rapid decline is obvious. Why not give it the attention it deserves?

If people are waiting for Trump, his admin or docs to admit that they are treating him w/experimental dementia drug infusions, they will wait a very long time. In fact, if he dies within the white house or maralago compounds, do not expect to be informed or notified. Steve Miller will be in charge.

My "choice" was to stay home as I was a latchkey kid growing up in the 60s as both my parents worked and did not want that for our kids. However, staying home put us with high debt/low income for many years, but the cost of daycare vs my income would not be worth it ... so really no choice.

My first child was born in 1980 and I had the same issue then. I was damned if I worked, and damned if I stayed home with the kids. I chose to stay home and that has it's own set of issues. I was told that I was not doing enough and that staying home was the lazy choice.

I was born &raised in California. My family has roots in the Salinas Valley since 1850s. After my husband &I married in 1978 we could not afford a home, even then. We moved leaving family and friends to Sacramento, where at the time, prices were a third of the real-estate offered in our home area.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

The U.S. government requires visa applicants to make all of their social media accounts fully public or risk being denied entry. This is straight out of 1984. Your right to privacy doesn’t just disappear at the border for millions of people, it disappears before they ever set foot here.
