Hunter Biden was mercilessly criticised for earning 60k being on a board that got zero government contracts. Donald Trump Jr. has made $50 million, largely due to major profits from his father's position & direct contracts from the gov, but the #GOP is silent www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

The issue is Hunter Biden, his drug problems & influence??? Really, when the US has a drug addict, brain worm, penis fondler Health Secretary? Really? Shit, Hunter Biden's drug addiction & access is a choir boy compared to Phlegm-thrower RFKjr & the corrupt Trumps. STFU, Tapper, you suck!

Hunter Biden is our finest GOP executioner.

Listen, screw Xitter, but Hunter Biden is pissing them all off over there in the most hilarious way.

Sen. Hassan: "Mr. Secretary, how does the president's requested billion-dollar ballroom or all of these other vanity products lower costs for American families or help constrain spending?" Bessent: "…It is a national security matter." Sen. Hassan: "That's ridiculous, and I think you know it."

Abraham Lincoln understood, perhaps better than anyone, how personal liberty and self-reliance are at the heart of the American experience. But he also knew there are certain things we can only do together. Read more in my essay for @inpursuitusa.bsky.social:

The lesson Israel has learned, time and again, is that it can commit genocide and other atrocities with near-total impunity. Now it's exporting the Gaza playbook to Lebanon. Israel's war in Lebanon is killing thousands and displacing millions. NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL.

Nothing illustrates the difference between the two parties heading into the midterms better than these 2 clips together of RNC Chair Joe Gruters and Dem nominee James Talarico talking about the senate election in Texas.

This was shortly after she took Ken back and supported him during his impeachment trial where one of the charges was that someone his office was investigating got the case dropped after he remodeled Ken’s other mistresses’ kitchen. Ken started a new affair not long after.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

Don’t turn away. Watch. Listen. Support survivors of #JeffreyEpstein and his abuse. www.youtube.com/live/SSkTW4m...

Trump’s sons signed a weapons deal with the Air Force during a war Congress never authorized. Amazon paid $40 million for a Melania documentary, then won a $581 million no-bid Pentagon contract. The corruption is not hidden anymore. It is the business model. November cannot come fast enough.

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

Nothing refutes the SCOTUS majority's claim that "America is past racism" more thoroughly than a Southern state carefully acting to make sure no Black people can be represented in its legislature.

SHADY AF Tennessee Republicans are now trying to eliminate the requirement to notify voters when their polling place changes during this gerrymandering mess. Ask yourself one question: If everything is fair & legitimate, why would they need to make it HARDER for voters to know where to vote? 1/2

The U.S. government is now actively suppressing the safety of vaccines. The New York Times reports, “F.D.A. Blocked Publication of Research Finding Covid and Shingles Vaccines Were Safe.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

This hits hard. Not because it’s new but because it’s still true! This isn’t just sad stats.This is real life for millions of women and it deserves more than silence! It’s time we start demanding better! Equality isn’t radical ….. it’s necessary! #SheShed #Equality #Feminism #EmpowerWomen

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Rachel Maddow is laying out the long history of Trump being a despicable racist. All I can say is, it's about fucking time.

Mary, a 72-year-old Amazon worker from North Carolina has a message for tonight's Met Gala chair Jeff Bezos

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

HERSTORY. Cherie DeVaux becomes the first female trainer of a Kentucky Derby winner with horse Golden Tempo.

It’s ok to strongly dislike Netanyahu. Hell, it’s ok to strongly dislike Israel as a whole. It’s not ok to blame all Jewish people for the actions of Bibi or Israel. That’s like blaming all Christians because Donald Trump is an asshole.

Alternet: Trump’s latest approval numbers collapse to historic lows of 32 percent, renowned historian Heather Cox Richardson says, “We’re into new hatred territory here for any American president.” I hate Trump for making me ashamed to be an American. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

I have so many questions.

Why is the Pentagon giving the trump boys MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS?

They're not even trying to hide it anymore...

To care for the Earth is to practice democracy in its most honest form. A daily choice to participate in the conditions that make life possible, not just for us, but for those we will never meet. Learning how to act as individuals who remember we belong to something larger. #proudblue #pinks

The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.

John Roberts’ Wife Made Millions From Bribes Jane Roberts was paid more than $10 million by a host of elite law firms, a whistleblower alleges. At least one of those firms argued a case at the Supreme Court after paying hundreds of thousands of dollars. www.businessinsider.com/jane-roberts...

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Leo: “Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” 🔥 This pope rocks. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

There's another "Oh he's ironically racist" to "He's destroying everything" name. So much of white online discourse from the 2010's was cover for people like this trash

Russell Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

Chinese tanker crosses Strait of Hormuz, testing Trump's blockade #TheHill

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

Iran closed the Strait. So Trump is blockading it. From the outside. We are now blockading a strait we are demanding Iran open. You cannot make this up.
