Lieu: The president is not well. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. He has repeatedly fallen asleep at Cabinet meetings, at White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony, and most recently at a very loud NBA game last night.

The White House needs to explain why Donald Trump keeps going to the hospital and taking cognitive tests.

[PellMellKell @pellmellkell]

@WhiteHouse They booed the fuck out of the 🍊 🚼 🤡

[Humphrey Gokart™ @HumphreyKart]

Where did the screw worm come from??

Argentina, that's where. Trumps beef import plan brought in a whole load of Argentinian beef.

And, yes, he WAS warned about it. His response? shut down the agency. It doesn't exist it they can't report on it...

Hey DOGE and NEWSMAX, can we get an update here?  

Turns out preventing a flesh-eating parasite from invading U.S. livestock wasn’t government waste…

Courtside at MSG is funny because it’s like beloved former Knicks star from the ‘90s next to an insanely famous actor next to the CEO of a company that turns orphans into AI data center liquid coolant.

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

Actually apart from Trump’s health, the story that really made me convinced media outlets are silencing themselves was the Homan bribery story. The guy was literally caught on FBI hidden camera taking $50k in a Cava bag. Should be catnip for DC journalists! Barely covered.

@DeanO_Lytics Tony Parker?

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Trump goes to the Knicks game, gets booed, falls asleep on camera and Knicks lose for the first time in more than a month.

The guy just can’t stop winning.

More than a few people who were barking this morning that California Dems had rigged the election against Pratt are currently congratulating Steve Hilton on making the gubernatorial runoff without any recognition that these two things don't compute

President Obama did not walk out of our 2012 satellite interview. He was visibly frustrated when I repeated my Benghazi question after he ducked it. And his team did try to tell us our time was up. But I kept asking questions and he didn't walk out.

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.

Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f

From the Texas Tribune:

After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @SecRollins: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.

The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.

If you can’t accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

🚨BREAKING: Some in Congress, even Republicans, are noting Trump feels safe enough to attend an NBA Finals game at MSG, in an arena full of people who hate him.

They are questioning why $1 billion of constituents’ tax money needs to go to a ballroom safe space vanity project.

[PellMellKell @pellmellkell]

@SpeakerJohnson has sold his soul for earthly power

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

[Christopher Robbins @ChristRobbins]

POV you paid $10,000 for a Knicks ticket but can’t get into MSG

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.

It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.

The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.

By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.

NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.

The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.

Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.

We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.

That's what engineering for the long term looks like.
