@mm_jiselle I have a unpopular opinion but I think Gibbs might be the most underrated rapper in the world

Mounting research over the last few years has found microplastics in nearly every organ in the body.

Whether these ubiquitous pollutants can reach the human brain has been a primary concern for scientists. https://t.co/LUQ1Inb7Wq

Karoline Leavitt went to an expensive private high school, then worked in the White House immediately out of college, then married a billionaire her daddy's age. What kind of spoon is that?

Turns out Trump’s market manipulation with a series of tariff announcements and pauses that tormented American businesses was done to enrich himself.

BREAKING: Trump brags again about the government taking a 10% ownership stake in Intel. Remember this the next time he calls the entire Democratic Party communist. The hypocrisy is stunning.

DOGE deletes itself on July 4th. It will be remembered as a hugely destructive failure.

Musk promised $2 trillion in savings.

What we got, by DOGE’s own unverified math, was $215 billion. Even that number was never proven.

The costs were atrocious. Nearly 140,000 federal workers pushed out. Veterans waiting longer for care. USAID dismantled while people died overseas as a direct result. 20-year-olds with Red Bulls and no college degrees rummaging through Americans’ most sensitive data.

Musk, the world’s richest man, a federal contractor with billions in government business, auditing the government that pays him, accountable to no voter anywhere. 

Even Musk now says he wouldn’t do it again. The guy who ran it calls it a mistake.

Government reform was there for the taking. Both parties know federal technology is outdated. Both parties know waste exists. Fixing it required serious people working with career civil servants who know where the problems actually are. Instead we got a chainsaw, a photo op, and years of lost expertise we now have to rebuild.

Now Trump’s budget director says there will be no final accounting or receipts. They promised transparency and they’re closing up shop in the dark.
They’re counting on us all to forget.

Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his tariffs, his financial disclosure report says. https://t.co/WqQb7csmVS

something i’ve realized watching all of this play out

a sandwich that jumps from $8 to $14 never goes back to $8. rent that climbs from $1,400 to $2,200 stays at $2,200 forever.

gas, groceries, insurance, all of it. prices only move in one direction

inflation becomes permanent the moment everyone accepts the new number.

and we always accept it because we have no other choice

then workers ask for raises just to survive the prices they had nothing to do with creating.

and suddenly they’re the problem. they’re “hurting the economy” by wanting to afford food

the economy for who exactly.

because whoever it’s working for it sure as hell isn’t us

70 years ago, people like this were raging about having to let black students into their whites-only schools. 125 years ago, they were raging about the Irish and the Italians being permitted to live here. 175 years ago, they were running riot in Kansas to make it a slave state.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

Only twice in American League history has a team had its starter strike out 9+ batters while allowing 2 or fewer hits in 3 straight games (reg or post).

Both times it was the @tigers:

Oct. 10-13, 2013 (Verlander, Sánchez, Scherzer)
June 28-30, 2026 (Flaherty, Mize, Skubal)
