A rather deep exchange between Trump and Buzz Aldrin at the signing of the Executive Order on the National Space Council today...🚀

"Juan" sent this from where he works in the carrot harvest in CA. Their group earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. For each $100 earned, his group has to pack 33 boxes or 786 bunches or 5508 carrots. #WeFeedYou

#BREAKING: Hayes: “That opinion authored by [SCOTUS Justice] Sam Alito at one point starts talking about these countries are terrible places, and we have to just take people from them because they are terrible? Sam Alito’s dad I think, came over from Sicily in about 1915, and let me tell you something because I’ve been working on a book on this. Sicily in 1915 is about as BLEAK, BRUTAL and MISERABLE place on God’s earth as you can find, and by the grace of God he got himself to these shores, and his son is a Supreme Court Justice, so that’s the story right there.” 😳

Brad Pitt says the lowest point of his career was a summer he bought 40 chameleons and lived on bong loads and four Coca-Colas a day

"I had the weirdest summer. I had this girlfriend who was into reptiles. We bought 40 chameleons. I was living in Errol Flynn's old bachelor pad, glass windows, filled with terrariums. Our house was like a terrarium"

"It was the most unhealthy time. I just needed to check out"

"I would wake up, I'd get a bong load, I'd have four Coca-Colas on ice, no food. This particular summer I just watched the OJ trial"

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Trump: "The word affordability is a fake word made up by the Democrats. Here's why it's fake: because they made it up."

"I inherited these prices"

> save $15M a year by cutting a screwworm monitoring program

> screwworm outbreak almost immediately

> $1B to combat it

“But in trying so hard to understand me, they failed to understand that this is not about me at all.

This is a movement about us.“

[Acyn @Acyn]

Platner: The national pundits, the political establishment, they keep looking for that one story, that one headline, that one moment in my life that they can define the campaign by. But in trying so hard to understand me, they failed to understand that this is not about me at all.

This is a movement about us.

They got her age wrong but she is clearly alive and voting. She’s 86 years old, she could have easily voted in 51 elections. This is not evidence of fraud but it is evidence Nick Shirley is an idiot.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

James Carville backs Graham Platner: “We’ve got a fucked up guy who could be 100x more fucked up than he is and he’d never be as fucked up as what we’ve got in Washington. This country is about to lose it, the whole goddamn thing. We gotta win this. If we got a person that’s understandably got issues, good. Maybe people oughta see it and maybe we oughta be reminded what these stupid wars have brought about and the consequence of said stupid wars that stupid Susan Collins’ been for all of her political life”

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Very young child waiting at urgent care is watching video after video of AI cartoon cats and vegetables cheating on each other with vegetables of different “races” and the mom is just staring at her own phone

Not good

[Becky Tuch @BeckyLTuch]

Ugh just read a Substack article by a lit mag editor that I'm almost certain was edited with AI. The style is so common:

* short, punchy sentences
* "This, not that" construction. ("It's not a rejection; it's a sign the process is working...")
* Things in threes. ("Not a no, not a rejection, not a closed door. A window to something better...")

I cannot say it enough: writers & editors, please stop relying on AI to help you edit your stuff.
AI strips you of your own voice & makes you sound like a machine.
It's utterly depressing to read such pieces from writers and lit mag editors.

NEW: In major reversal, Trump administration “retreats” on plan to ban artificial colors in food & significantly loosens FDA labeling requirements.

[Austin @HotSaucetin]

This is insane. This CAN'T happen in the US. Straight up red alert.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

███████ to Epstein, after Trump won the 2016 election:

“I simply can not believe this victory.. No one called it, we all thought she’d win

“You must be happy tho”

Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."
