I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

The U.S. military launched a series of strikes against Iranian targets early Wednesday after three merchant ships were struck in the waters off Oman. https://to.pbs.org/4eRqCQC

What are the chances!

The Justice Department is urgently battling a government watchdog's bid to force the release of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's private communications about Jeffrey Epstein before his Senate confirmation hearing. #ToddBlanche #DOJ #EpsteinFiles #AmericanOverSight #GovernmentWatchdog

BREAKING: Federal judge rejects Justice Department's attempt to subpoena names of 2020 election workers in Georgia’s Fulton County.

An investigation by Mother Jones confirms that the FBI used software from the Israeli firm Cellebrite to secretly extract data from the phones of at least a dozen other protesters.

So i expect Russia will be desperately trying to escalate pain as will Ukraine since both are out of air defense. So it will be a massive escalation to try to reach the “uncle” pain threshhold first. Give Ukraine air defense now

OMG watch this. The Belgian team trolling Trump in their locker room after their victory. Imitating the "dance"-- to YMCA. Sound up 🤣🤣🤣 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

"Long after Hegseth has left his office, the echoes of his decisions and unexplained actions will still be reverberating in the leadership of the military." ICYMI:

The same strategy is being deployed in the U.S. As in the U.K., these are largely the result of self-inflicted wounds (Brexit, Tr•mp). It's as though university admins on both sides of the Atlantic agreed to plunge their institutions into a death spiral, so that only the rich could get an education.

The head of FIFA should have said no The coach should have said no The player should have said no But most of all, the question should not have been asked.

Belgium trolled the US with a savage two-word message after knocking them out of the World Cup: “Overturn this.”

BREAKING: Donald Trump just filed his emergency stay in the DC circuit to keep his name on the Kennedy Center & it is batsh** crazy He clearly wrote big pieces himself We have filed our opposition, fighting for the rule of law & the American people

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days. A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years. But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

😂🤣

The Kennedy Center is tonight getting the best television ratings its ever had in its history.

ABBY PHILLIP: “What about the law, Scott?” SCOTT JENNINGS: “What about it? Who cares?” 🤔 Refreshing honesty from the smuggest man in the world. The law does not matter to them.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn shame usa doesn't live in a real democracy anymore.

This security guard died protecting children at the Islamic Center of San Diego. If you can help support his family, it would go a long way. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

A rapidly developing, potentially strong El Niño is expected to emerge by summer 2026, heavily influencing US weather through the 2026-2027 winter. It typically brings warmer-than-average winter temperatures to the northern US & Alaska and wetter, cooler conditions along the southern tier.

That matters because it NORMALIZES and provides legal cover for Trump colluding with DoJ and IRS to control both sides of the bogus lawsuit he filed. This is not a settlement. It’s theft. Facts matter. END/ Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/b... Source: www.wsj.com/us-news/law/... The judge:

@mcuban.bsky.social Mark, WTF were you thinking??? This will tank your Cost Plus brand faster than the Titanic....

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

Spanish actor Javier Bardem is 💯 right about Trump’s, Putin’s and Netanyahu’s male toxic behavior: “The big balls men saying my cock is bigger than yours and I’m going to bomb the shit out of you is a fucking male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of dead people.” Well said Sir 👏👏

Worth a read.

Troll Gavin is back!!

Perhaps if Kash hadn’t fired all the seashell experts, the investigation wouldn’t have taken so long.

Bravo to this dude for pulling this together in just a couple of hours. Interesting stuff.

🎯🎯

You’d think the acting AG would be prioritizing justice after an apparent mass shooting attempt involving top officials in our government, but he seems more focused on getting Donald Trump’s ballroom built—something that has nothing to do with last night’s event.

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

Holy shit. You guessed it — the new LEGO video is out, and it is 🔥. It’s damn amazing how quickly they make these!!

Can confirm

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

To repeat: if you are attending the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American.. You are neither a journalist nor an American STAND FOR SOMETHING

Everywhere you look, Trump, his family members, his donors, his political supporters & his cronies are looting the US treasury, getting paid by foreign entities for policy favors, & getting no bid contracts. Criminal cases are dropped and convictions pardoned. The US govt is an ongoing crime scene.

Excellent.💙💛

JUST IN: Virginia adopted a new law yesterday to forbid sheriffs & local police from contracting with ICE — if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws & agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree ICE won't promise that, and that this spells the end of ICE contracts in Virginia.

So soldiers are betting on their own operations on polymarkets?
