Raskin: This is not an administration that has a plan to lower gas prices. On the contrary, their illegal, unconstitutional war with Iran is driving them up. It’s a government that operates like The Sopranos. Like, what grift are they going to be able to get away with today?

We have an incredible problem: too many donations for our mutual aid hub and not enough shelves! We’ve outgrown our current setup, and we need to adapt to keep up with need, especially as we help candidates across the country adopt this model.

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

British Columbia Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social has invited Somali referee Omar Artan to referee in Vancouver, after he was denied entry to the US

Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

Day 10 Albania Tirana — protesters are walking towards the Prime Minister’s residence like every night.

Credit where it’s due: Steyer did the right thing. He conceded, endorsed Xavier Becerra, and urged his supporters to unite against Trump’s handpicked candidate. That’s what putting California first looks like. Now it’s time to win November. 💥

The European Union and its new sanction package is banning any person that served in the Russian military from the start of the 🇺🇦 war from entering the European Union. The sanctions include fisheries/90 lenders/crypto/Oil tankers/$44 barrel cap on Russian oil/military tech/metals/import restrictions

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Blame the media for "instant" election results. The official counting shouldn't stop until every vote is counted. It's just that on election night the media tabulates the probability of the winner. And then "calls it". Then the opposition concedes. It's fucked up and anti-democractic.

City of Long Beach sent this out on social media(!) with like 2 hours advance warning(!!) What the actual fuck?

9th night of protest in Albania — protesters are currently out in Tirana to demand the cancellation of Trump and Kushner’s luxury resort plan.

Shooting near England's World cup base.

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

I mean, there is nothing more joyous than the #Tonys

Bloke with an artificial lower leg riding an e-assist bicycle through the village with a load of mates on a variety of other bikes. E-bikes are a mobility solution.

Maybe it's not *ideal* to have someone with so much anger and so little self-control responsible for deciding if the US should start a nuclear war.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

"MY MAYOR'S MUSLIM MY BAGELS ARE JEWISH MY CHRISTIAN DIOR KNICKS IN FOUR!" This is why I love this city. NYC. We are diverse. And yet United. We are immigrants and yet, American! Damn, it's a good time being in New York. And being a Knicks fan. I ❤️ NY.

Ok I’m not a big sports person but I’m genuinely loving the way the city is celebrating the Knicks. It feels like a really special NYC moment of true comradery, which is what makes this place so special.

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

The President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump…

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.

Kalshi was paying Gunther Eagleman while he was spreading false claims about the LA Mayoral race. Holding my breath for Bill Essayli to investigate him for fraud. [Clarified that Kalshi was not funding this on purpose.] www.semafor.com/article/06/0...

Four percent of the sand on Normandy beaches is shrapnel that has been broken down over the decades into sand-sized chunks. See the smooth sphere? It's shrapnel, sanded down to a smooth, microscopic ball. #WW2 #HISTORY

Trump planned to declare 2.7 million living people as dead, whistleblower says. A former Social Security executive said the plan, which was not carried out, would have used a death database to pressure immigrants to leave the country. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Way to go, Albania! 🇦🇱
