George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.

The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

A humorous image depicting two individuals dressed in matching grey outfits, styled to resemble characters from the movie "Austin Powers." The larger individual, standing behind, is holding a finger to their lips in a "shushing" gesture, while the smaller individual, strapped to the larger one's chest with a harness, has a displeased expression. The background is a plain dark teal color.

The chat room whiskeyleaks crew should all lose their jobs.

The image shows a person with long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a light gray shirt and white earbuds. The background appears to be an indoor setting with a ceiling featuring exposed pipes and lights. Overlaid on the image is text that reads: "If I texted sensitive patient information in a non-HIPAA compliant group chat and accidentally added someone who wasn’t a provider, I’d lose my job, my medical license, and face civil and criminal charges. But I guess the Secretary of Defense is held to a lower standard."

We now know it was the latter.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg
). The post reads: "So, which is it? If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained. And if it was classified, then the Trump admin lied to Congress and to the American people."

The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Can’t make this up.

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads:
"Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education."

Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
