I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

This would be such a gift to the American people! ⬇️

New in PN: The vanity presidency "America has suffered ignorant presidents, corrupt presidents, & incompetent presidents. Trump is all of these, yet something far worse: He’s the first to view the office not as a public obligation, but as a personal vanity project designed solely to serve himself."

If you’re in Georgia, you MUST vote tomorrow, May 19. Georgia Supreme Court: vote Miracle Rankin & Jen Jordan. Vote for Will Wooten for judge of the Georgia Court of Appeals. We must secure our courts.

CBS backlash has pushed Colbert to 2.70 million viewers. Weiss is now faced with canceling the MOST WATCHED PROGRAM in the late-night time slot. Fire her - keep Colbert is the answer.

So let me see if I got this right? Trump claimed the election was stolen, and sued Trump, using his own Trump DOJ lawyers, he settled with Trump. And instead of giving the money to charity as he promised, he will reward the insurrectionists who stormed the Capital. On his behalf. WTF

The president of the United States is a thieving gangster.

I’m convinced Trump could murder a reporter on camera and within 48 hours there’d be a piece about the voters who are sticking with him.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

NEW: Donald just STOLE $1.7B from us to pay insurrectionists. I have some important info about this. Please share widely.

All you MAGA investors out there, this might be a GREAT time to put ALL your extra money toward this company. It's the best price for the last entire year!! What better way to show your support!? No sense in wasting it on election contributions when you can put it here!! It's like nothing ever seen!

A fucking men.

📌The Jim Crow South has returned, and I just don’t think most people outside of the Black community understand how maddening and truly terrifying this is. We all must rally to their defense RIGHT NOW, and stand with this nation’s most dependable patriots. My God, we owe them at least that …

Everything that MAGA believes in and is trying to pass into law must be shut down. I'm so goddamn sick of these racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobic shit-stains thinking they have the right to rule over good, honest people. Push us so far and watch what fucking happens.

Mike Johnson should adhere to the Constitution, as well as listen to his constituents & the American people. Instead, on Sunday, he said our rights come from God, not the government.

Tennessee Democrat Justin Pearson Is Correct.......

“The danger facing the United States isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s visible. It’s gathering force. It’s wrapped in flags, crosses, propaganda and rage. The republic won’t survive through denial.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/the-madnes...

We must never again allow fascism to use sport as a platform for its propaganda. It is unacceptable that russians have been permitted to reinstate their flag and anthem on the international stage. Events involving russia and Belarus must be boycotted at all costs. newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/interna...

Everything he said was a lie, aimed at rallying morons. It worked.

On 17 May 1990, the World Health Assembly stopped classifying homosexuality as a mental disorder. This announcement was made almost 20 years after the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual in 1973.

Progressive candidate for Colorado AG calls for censure or impeachment of Gov Jared Polis (D) for giving clemency to Tina Peters

Bring out your dead. Because Republicans.

Together, people can do amazing things

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

Before anyone feels sorry for Bill Cassidy, remember that he's the reason RFK Jr. was confirmed as HHS secretary, and he is forever stained by all that has and will happen.

Johnny is nuts!

Kill Trump's Authoritarian Ideas, Bernie's Correct.......

The bag of coffee I buy every week -- whose price fluctuated between $7.99 and $9.99 for about a decade, but never went higher -- was $15.99 when I went to the store today.

Tom Steyer sells himself as “people powered,” but his history says billionaire-funded astroturf: paid influencers, alleged cash-for-endorsement offers, unauthorized access to Harris campaign data, and disclosure fines his fortune can shrug off. That’s not grassroots. It’s pay-to-play.

Holy shit! Look at this deficit. Republicans are aiming for domination through maps, courts, and voter suppression. Democrats are going to have to fight like hell in order to overcome this.

Great movie. Check out Idiocracy next which is literally a documentary at this point.

Truth

Jon Ossoff: "RFKjr is attempting to demolish Americans' public health. We, in Georgia, have always been proud to host the CDC. It's never been a partisan thing. What we've seen is an intentional effort to destroy this once preeminent agency. This puts our country and the world at risk."

Cartoon from Andy Donato.

Donald Trump LIED when he vowed not to touch Social Security. He fired thousands of workers and cut critical services. The result? Longer lines, unanswered calls, delayed benefits, and workers pushed to the brink. I'll keep fighting to stop him from gutting Social Security.

Rather than conclude that democrats are bad because people like Fetterman and Polis are democrats, I prefer to conclude that people like Fetterman and Polis are not democrats and they need to get the hell out of our party.

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/xIxx6h8

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Sounds a little strange, but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding.” Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Trump in the nose for saying the country that invaded Ukraine was being "very generous."
