This deal doesn’t appear to be fundamentally much different than our current agreement, but naturally, MAGA will swear it’s the biggest win in history
1. BREAKING Trump claims the United States has reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland giving the USA permanent control over Greenland’s security, including the power to block foreign military activity and sensitive investments and to build a major US military presence there.

Is it too early to say the Supporters Shield may be decided this week? If Nashville beats Miami, is their lead insurmountable? #MLSSoccer #MLS #InterMiami #LaFamilia
Of all the newly minted words that describe various aspects of the decline of civilization (e.g., shrinkflation, gigafication, polycrisis) my absolute favorite has to be enshittification.
Dress like a seat night at the RNC 🪑... This is the crowd to open the GOP's midterm convention.
3.5 million pages. 3,437 volumes. The #EpsteinFiles, printed and bound, are now on display in Dallas. 3.5 million pages while the PEDOPHILES and those who enabled them walk free. No more excuses. The survivors deserve justice. ⚖️ #SheShed

iPhone Duo seems good. Won’t that fancy screen finish be ruined by the Apple Pencil, though? #iPhoneDuo
Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Corrupt Trump reported at least $2.2 billion in income last year, with crypto earnings jumping nearly 24 times, from $57 million to $1.4 billion. That’s not a coincidence, that’s a president cashing in on his own office while we struggle to pay rent. #RepublicanCostOfCorruption #USDemocracy
The reflecting pool debacle, illegally renaming the Kennedy Center after himself, dumping toxins on DC's public golf courses, destroying the East Wing… All are corruption scandals & metaphors for this admin's incompetence @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social 👇 - TN

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 185 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.
“Trump’s grip on the Republican Party faces these challenges” Stop it. Trump could waddle naked across the South Lawn screaming about how Obama was spying on him from inside the White House microwave, and the GOP would clap like obedient seals.
⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 1, per AAA ⛽ • Regular: $4.39 (⬆️ $0.09 from yesterday, ⬆️ $1.41 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.24 (⬆️ $1.38 since war began) • Diesel: $5.57 (⬆️ $1.81 since war began)
The 2026 and 2028 elections are going to be decided by gerrymandering. I don't want to hear of a single Democratic state legislature that isn't fully committed to maximizing the gain in seats for the party. This is a political war that needs to be won.
We know he doesn't have long and we would really appreciate it if we could watch him squirm under oath to all his crimes and then watch him wither away and never come back. Release the Epstein files. Impeach, convict, and remove.
