When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Adul El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan and holds a PhD from Oxford (that's in England, not in Mississippi), where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He's a leading US public health expert. You, Tuberville, are motivated by just one thing: racism. It permeates your innermost self and defines you.

Russ Vought is trying to steal spending power again. The Trump Admin is making up a new "rule" so they can revoke federal grants whenever they want for whatever reason. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...
Mr. Trump’s ambitions were made clear in a roughly 400-page blueprint that was released to little fanfare on Friday. If finalized, it would require all federal grants to be approved by the president’s political appointees, who must ensure that the money would “demonstrably advance the president’s policy priorities.”

For the agencies that issue those awards and the nonprofit groups, local governments, universities and other entities that receive the money, the Trump administration would also impose a set of highly prescriptive and political criteria.

“The whole idea here is to basically have one control tower,” said Daniel Kowalski, a budget expert at the conservative-leaning Heritage Foundation. “There’s one executive, and all the agencies should be working to implement the executive’s agenda.

It’s so easy to scare people like this but a little numeracy goes a long way: considering about 100,000 people die in North Carolina each year it’s totally reasonable to find at least this many dead people on voter rolls even if you’re just doing normal on-time purges.

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.
A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

Republicans wouldn't let Jack Smith testify in public. Instead they did it behind closed doors and released a transcript and video on New Year's Eve, hoping few people would notice. They think it’s smart politics, but I think it’s one more attempt to cover up treason. History will agree with me.
