BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Please enjoy Colbert’s final shows,” John Oliver told viewers at the end of Sunday's 'Last Week Tonight.' “He’s the f*cking best. Good night, and good luck, motherf*ckers!” Full story: latenighter.com/news/john-ol...

So incredibly corrupt. A slush fund for his friends who attacked the Capitol, ogles, etc. - and himself. www.kwqc.com/2026/05/18/t...

The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

In just months, Zohran Mamdani has shown what politics looks like when leaders actually try governing for ordinary people instead of donors and cable news panels. Affordable housing, childcare, transit, workers’ dignity and immigrant protection are not “radical” ideas.

Big announcement on March 3. No part of this ever happened.

Nearly 800,000 Louisianians voted yesterday and won, rejecting all five state constitutional amendments put forward by Gov. Jeff Landry...

Finally happened. You ever have one of those days on the freeway when some a@@hole speeds right up to your bumper and then passes you going 100 mph & you say "wish there was a cop around"? Well, yesterday it finally happened. We waved as we drove by him, pulled over. 🤣🤣

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

We Are a Democracy! “We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

AS PUTIN ANNOUNCES VISIT TO CHINA ON 18-19 MAY: This is the latest published Chinese political cartoon, which tells you how they really see DJT

Supreme Racism. A political cartoon by Bob Whitmore about the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Supreme Court.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

What he says…

Senator Bill Cassidy compromised all his values to confirm RFK Jr and he still lost his senate seat in a primary.

Sitting in the Emergency room of our local hospital. Kid needs stitches. Been waiting about an hour. She will be stitched up soon. Total bill? 15 bucks for parking. Our system has issues of course but today it gets an A+ from me. #OHIP #canada

Why are cybertruck drivers the WORST at parking

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"

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

This dudes idea of systematic kindness: we didn't murder you!

At least Dr. Cassidy had the privilege of greasing RFK Jr’s anti-vaccine crusade

Navy SEALs endorsed the desecration? Woof.

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

TODAY: ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SOUTH. Republican lawmakers across the South are carving up maps to dilute Black voting power and protect their own power because fair maps would threaten their grip. They knew the voters didn’t support this, so they went around them. 1/2

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

not only can they not believe someone could be this stupid, they cannot believe they themselves would have been stupid enough to vote for someone this stupid, so there must be some kind of twelve dimensional chess going on with respect to the emperor and his clothes

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

“It’s just frustrating to see them come into our community and run all over us like the citizens don’t matter, and then they’re above the law when they do break it,” resident, James Clifton said. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

‼️THE SOUTH WILL NOT BE SILENCED‼️ Today’s march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge is a reminder that voting rights were paid for in blood. And now those same rights are under attack again. Next: Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Jesus Christ this is the most chilling thing I've read in ages. The "new understanding of truth" described here is not new in any way, it is basically a return to pre-literate dark ages & the inevitable result is going to be fascism.

Ah, yes. Fewer air traffic controllers is the answer. www.reuters.com/business/wor...

The Trump administration is lying again. They’re already drilling and moving forward on Trump’s giant gold “Independence Arch” before Congress even approved it, just like they tore down the East Wing for Trump’s gilded ballroom project. That’s the MO: do it first, lie, deflect. 1/2

JFC. (You are not going to get through this quote without swearing. Trust me.)

Killing the world’s richest man by rapidly spiking his cortisol with cooler and cooler film casting choices

this is obviously stupid but also "i should not have to see a black person in a position of power or influence" is a guiding belief of the trump administration

This is a form of psychosis. These people will burn the world if they have their way.

WHOMST amongst us

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

Sorry for the delayed update, but the bill has passed! 🎉🎉🎉 It will go into effect in August. this really is the first law in the US explicitly prohibiting the technology/service of AI nudification/deepfake pornography. Would love to see this as a model nationwide www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

My dog when someone says the word “treat.”

Y’all have seen how Kash Patel operates. Does anyone really think he did this to honor the fallen? 📌 The FBI Director took a rare snorkeling tour of Pearl Harbor, where 900 people died when the Japanese bombed the USS Arizona in WWII.
