Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.
The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.
MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year? BURGUM: Intermittent or base load? M: 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW. B: But only when the sun is shining M: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year - less than 10% of China. You're harming our natl security
NEGUSE: My understanding is a no bid contract is reserved for situations involving serious injury. What's the injury w/the reflecting pool? BURGUM: 19 fountains didn't work NEGUSE: That's the serious injury!? And who picked this company? Trump said 'I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing pools'

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.
Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."
RANDALL: Look at this safety hazard. There's $300m in repairs needed for Olympic Park. Now look at this AI image Trump posted of draining the reflecting pool. Which do you think should be higher priority? BURGUM: We have issues all over the US R: Yes! And you prioritize Trump's vanity projects
Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.
In the ocean, humpback whales have surprised scientists with one of the strangest and kindest things seen in nature. When orcas, also known as killer whales, go hunting other sea animals like seals, sea lions, small dolphins, or even baby whales, humpback whales often arrive to stop the attack.
Too many people have accepted Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. We cannot endure another 32 months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, want to be dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

It should be pointed out over and over that besides Bari Weiss being completely obsessed with turning CBS into a television version of her anti-woke, pro-Israel blog, she is also extremely incompetent at the nuts and bolts of running a network. www.semafor.com/article/05/1...
"This guy followed my wife and son home from the park. he had a chip and we found the owner lived 25 miles away from us. We returned him and the next day we received a call from the owner asking us if we wanted to keep him. Meet Boomer. 🙂" ❤ Original post
The largest ever settlement or jury award for government violations of constitutional rights to a single person is $100 million, or 1 percent of what Trump demanding for the leak of his tax returns. That case -- a killing by police -- was reduced to $1 million on appeal.

The DOJ, in its investigation of gender affirming care providers, has been caught in a blatant lie in sworn documents to the court. Two published documents today shows DOJ attorneys misrepresenting material facts regarding patient record de-identification to the NDTX to obtain orders to compel.
A weird thing happened during the indie romance boom in the mid-2010s: a bunch of women who did not have high earning potential on paper could abruptly start making $20k-100k a month self-pubbing romance. We watched so many marriages implode over it, y'all, when their husbands COULD NOT COPE.
Students, if you’re thinking about dropping a note to that teacher or professor about what their class/project/mentorship has meant to you, but you worry it will be cringe or cheesy, let me just tell you they will coast on the fuzzy feelings prompted by that note for months, if not years

This is simply bonkers. The White House is in active discussions with DOJ about settling Trump's lawsuit against the IRS in his favor, *precisely because* a judge might soon throw it out. WH apparently wants DOJ to agree to "settle" the lawsuit *before* that happens. Utter insanity.
I don't think recent memory has featured an industrial company with as much of a reputational fall-off as Tesla, both because of the decrease in quality of its cars and the increase in blithering fascism in its CEO. A decade ago a Tesla was a status object; now it's a vague embarrassment at best.
