Trump maintains he's winning, but the courts disagree. His name has to come off of the Kennedy Center, the Pentagon's anti-trans policy is out & an Alabama judge lectured prosecutors about serving justice, not a president. The breakdown is in today's Civil Discourse open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Tina Peters' conduct since her release makes clear that she lacks remorse. Instead of taking responsibility for her actions, she is challenging the basis of her prosecution. Her conviction was valid, her sentence was appropriate, and the commutation was a historic mistake.

Yes she most definitely can sit down. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/when...

BREAKING: ‘60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley confronted new EP Nick Bilton during an intro meeting with staff — grilling him about recent firings and Bari Weiss. "She's murdering '60 Minutes.'" "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that."

🔥 Judge Wilkins wrote that the administration provided no basis for claims that trans service members lack the honesty, humility, or integrity required for military service, noting that many of the plaintiffs have served honorably for years and earned more than 80 commendations.  #PRIDE #SheShed

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

So the guy who invited the Taliban to Camp David and gave control of the Strait of Hormuz to Islamic Republic of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is now telling us he just had "a very good call with Hezbollah." Sounds great.

Five months into a pilot program that uses AI to review certain Medicare procedure requests, Washington seniors face new hurdles and worsening health outcomes, according to health care providers and lawmakers.

www.npr.org/2026/05/30/n... Four detainees at the largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in the U.S. filed a federal lawsuit on Saturday alleging human rights abuses, "horrific" conditions and "severe medical neglect" at the facility….

The corruption never stops.

Wait I thought this was pretty much a done deal last week. And the week before. And the week before. And the week before …

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A large and seemingly endless hole in time.

Absolutely not

two courts step in to stop the insurrectionist slush fund; Kennedy Center rename and shutdown halted; Bondi throws Todd Blanche under the bus, judge strikes down NH imposing burden on proof of citizenship, Talarico leads in first post-primary poll. Maybe our democracy isn't done quite yet.

I wish more people realized this. Isolationism is not the way. Knowledge is collective. We are stronger together.

trump is having a terrible no good very bad day and i love this journey for him

Bravo to @lawfaremedia.org for restoring to the Internet records of the Jan 6 cases that were removed by the Trump regime. History cannot be erased.

Trump "Survivor" works better....

Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REMOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NAME FROM KENNEDY CENTER BUILDING - ORDER

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Trump is an invasive species. He doesn’t believe in fair and free elections. He’s so delusional, I think he’s starting to believe his own B.S. — He tried to light democracy on fire. He’s desperate. His back is against the wall. He’s just winding up.”

A good reminder that even vast wealth can't buy good taste. #WhiteTrashWH

The evidence continues to mount. Trump is both physically and mentally incapable of discharging the duties of president of the United States. The sooner the 25th Amendment is invoked, or he is impeached, the safer America and the world will be.

Math… the universal language… 🔥🎯

It's this 👇

Looking at what he's done to the People's House (without Congressional approval, of course), I feel equal parts rage & embarrassment for our country. The Midterms can't come soon enough... #Register&VOTE 🌊

The timeline is acting like it licked a battery. These are vetted, kind, and thoughtful mutuals who care, inform, and show up with actual heart. Also, some of them think I'm funny.

Paxton wants Texans to believe Talarico is some kind of godless liberal. Here's what he talked about with Colbert three months ago.

"It’s worth remembering that for the master of the “art of the deal,” a “deal” isn’t an agreement between parties so much as getting one over on a weaker or less sophisticated party. " talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/takin...

Don't let Trump cut federal funding for libraries. Take action at SaveIMLS.org #library #libraries #libraryfunding #fundlibraries #saveimls #imls #read #reading #book #books

Building this UFC stage in front of the White House is one of the most ridiculous, tone deaf things I've ever seen any politician do.

Good morning everyone Yes , TEXAS James Talarico is speaking to you & me Ken Paxton, the epitome of corruption, lies, & ZERO INTEGRITY Then you have James Talarico He can Change our Country for the good People say this will be easy NOPE WE ALL MUST SUPPORT @jamestalarico.bsky.social

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

For my birthday, I want to keep becoming someone who can remain present to life instead of performing for it. Who can hold conviction without losing compassion. Who can tell the truth without needing superiority. Someone who helps people feel more human, not less. That feels worth celebrating. 🎉💫✨️

Why isn't the media giving #ICELawlessness the coverage it deserves? A sitting member of the US Senate (Senator Kim) got attacked yesterday with chemical weapons by this rogue administration and crickets! It's up to us to make sure people hear about these things. Please share this thread widely.

We Need To Protect Wildlife, More Than We Need Gas ⛽️ And Oil......

Texas will now choose between rage or hope, spectacle or substance. One man sells grievance like snake oil from the back of a burning truck, the other asks whether government can still belong to the people. The ballot is a mirror, look carefully at what you become when you mark it.

"Ken Paxton has a criminal record. I have a legislative record,” James Talarico after Paxton won run off! 😀

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.
