I was in Washoe County last week visiting public schools.
I met students studying for AP exams, kids with disabilities who rely on classroom aides, and teachers doing everything they can with shrinking resources.
Democrats, demoralized and searching for leadership, flock to first person to stand and talk for 25 hours straight.
(To be clear I am one of them)
Heard Island, Australia's rarely-acknowledged external territory (*checks map), is now much-loved. We stand in solidarity with you and the penguin citizens against Trump's tariffs. Thanks for the laughs 😃. Trump is an idiot. #auspol 🐧
A meme of the infamous meeting in the Oval Office with Zelensky as Trump and Vance dismissively put their hands up to him. But he has been replaced with a penguin to mock Trump’s tariff against uninhabited islands, home to only penguins.
The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.
And loving America means fighting to make it better.
What Canada, Mexico, Japan, the UK, and the European Union should do in response to Trump’s grossly irresponsible tariffs https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-canada-mexico-japan-the-uk-and
CNBC anchor on Trump’s tariffs: “This… is worse than the worst-case scenario.”
There was zero reason for these tariffs—we’re not at war, the economy wasn’t struggling and we had strong trade partners. This is economic sabotage, plain & simple. Folks on the right not to stop pretending he’s helping.

Huh. Twitter is down.
Didn't go offline much when I was there. Weird.
Auto Union Boss Is Sucking Up To Trump On Tariffs. It’s Going To Backfire. https://twp.ai/1VTYUQ
@votereese.bsky.social who should create a Washoe Dems account on Bluesky? Also, who should create a City of Reno account on Bluesky?
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why so many Democrats in Congress still don’t have an account on Bluesky. Just as bad, many of those who do have accounts here don’t post on a regular basis. Is it ignorance or laziness on their part? If so, don’t they have staffers handling their social media?

Trump and his billionaire buddies have NO business touching Veterans' healthcare.
Hands OFF our VA!
Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk's strategy:
1) Install cronies at key agencies
2) Gain access to critical systems
3) Take from the needy
4) Give massive tax cuts to the rich

Pam Bondi quietly disbands DOJ task force targeting Russian oligarchs: Three years ago, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland created a task force dedicated to enforcing U.S. sanctions imposed on Russian oligarchs in response to Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine.…
Trump AG Pam Bondi has dissolved an FBI task force aimed at combatting foreign influence operations.
Ex-FBI Director Chris Wray established the task force in 2017 to combat "covert actions by foreign governments to influence U.S. political sentiment or public discourse."
Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."
happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!
with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.
Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a teenage DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.
And If this sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Musk is following the same playbook from the early days of his Twitter takeover, including sleeping in the office: wrd.cm/4jFDvNW
