HUD SECRETARY SCOTT TURNER: We can't just house people CLYBURN: How do you house them if you take all the money away? TURNER: Housing first is a failed model, sir CLYBURN: I'm not dealing in slogans. How do you house people when you take the money away?

"It's your job to know that" -- Rep. DeLauro seems to understand that HUD Secretary Scott Turner (who reads from notecards when doing TV hits) is in *way* over his head and asks him a series of factual questions about HUD programs, which of course he can't answer

So Trump is talking about dropping the federal gas tax. A heroic cutting of gas prices. That’s 18.4 cents. And it will mean billions lost to the Highway Trust Fund that roads depend on. Another genius move from his reckless war adventure that will succeed in making life worse.

Nice try, Junior 🙄

Yesterday I spoke with Tennessee state rep @brotherjones.bsky.social about the Supreme Court's shameful gutting of the Voting Rights Act. We discussed what's now happening in the south, and some ideas on what to do about it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-respond-to-the-rebirth-of

Any questions about why the GOP is desperately trying to cheat before the midterms?

Our response to the White House 🤌

There's a growing movement led by Black influencers, academics, politicians and celebrities to promote destroying SEC athletics in response to Jim Crow 2.0 gerrymanders (encouraging athletes to enroll and seek NIL deals elsewhere) Not my place to have an opinion on it so just noting what I'm seeing

For years, Netanyahu pushed multiple U.S. presidents toward confrontation with Iran. Most resisted. Trump didn’t. The question isn’t whether Trump is a “puppet.” The question is why Netanyahu finally found a president willing to fully buy the pitch. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This post needs to stay up.

In NM investigators are interviewing the hundreds of leads since the legislature reopened the case at Zorro Ranch and Epstein.

Kari Lake is an idiot

I'm old enough to remember Jim Crow America. And we should never go back to that. Instead we must rise up to prevent it from regaining its evil hold.

Anyone who has seen the video of him obviously sleeping for long stretches loves the claim that he was merely blinking more than anything This is our "war president," everybody

Maybe if he wasn’t up all night posting QAnon memes he would be able to stay awake during public events.

When “senior administration officials” continue to lie to you day after day, week after week, so they can use your media platform to launder lies and manipulate people, how long do you keep doing it because they are “scoops” that get lots of clicks?

Credit-card balances: all-time high. Applications for credit: four-year high. Delinquent credit: nine-year high. A "hamster wheel" of credit, says the NYT: @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/b...

The agency once respected that is now run by MAGA fraudsters is warning that some other entity is a fraudster that can spoof caller ID with your bank’s phone number. Read the article to stay safe, tho. www.wbaltv.com/article/fbi-...
