The only Iran deal Trump is looking for right now is one that will convince anyone outside his cult that he didn’t lose and get humiliated because of stupidity & hubris. Whatever that looks like he would do in a second. The problem is that Iran isn’t cooperating. So here we are.

SEN. TILLIS, on the new DOJ 'anti-weaponization' fund: “Stupid on stilts.”

NYT: In the middle of the lunch, Trump called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and told them he wanted the regulation lifted. Trump’s FDA Commissioner then resigned in protest. Things like this are happening every day. RFK Jr is a total fraud.

MAHA was just another con. The corruption of the Trump admin is absolutely staggering.

NEW: Records released tonight show that Reynolds, makers of Vuse vapes, gave $5 Million to MAGA Inc. days before the FDA wrote a policy that could allow them to make millions selling flavored vapes. Via @kenvogel.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/u...

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “Massie’s district was Trump +35, they only won by 10 and spent $35 MILLION… nobody was at Gallrein’s party. This was about outside💰. Trump’s (not compelling) platform is ‘I want to get rich, I don’t care that you’re poorer’ - That’s what last night told me.”

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Talarico winning in Texas is no fantasy. He's polling better than any Dem Senate nominee at this point since 2002. Unlike O'Rourke in 2018, Talarico's ahead now. Paxton's much less popular than Cruz was. Trump is less popular now than in 2018. The GOP is right to be scared.”

BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

Have you been injured? #slushfund

BREAKING: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn & MPD Officer Hodges are suing to block the $1.8B “weaponization” slush fund.

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

Every GOP member of Congress should be asked by the press whether they agree Trump can use $1.7b that we, the taxpayers, paid so gov’t could work for us, as reward money to his supporters.

$1.7 billion is about to be paid out of the pockets of US taxpayers to J6 criminals who beat cops and Trump’s other dirty henchmen. Trump set up a slush fund to reward these scumbags with your money and Republicans in Congress won’t say a word about this disgusting corruption.

This is not “the Justice Department” creating this $1.7 billion slush fund to hand out to Trump’s criminal supporters. It is Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche handing out your tax dollars to Trump’s co-conspirators and thugs.

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

3. Trump purchased between purchased between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell Technologies stock on February 10. During an economic speech in Georgia nine days later, Trump told the audience to “go out and buy a Dell computer,” saying the company made “phenomenal products.”

2. Three more SMOKING GUNS in Trump's new 113 page financial disclosure. Trump purchased between $50,000 and $100,000 in Micron stock on March 25 (also unsolicited). The next day he called into The Five, said he had just met with Micron's CEO, and called Micron "one of the hottest companies."

Cassidy played this in the worst possible way. He took a stand on impeachment thinking Trump was finished. Then Trump comes back and he sells out on everything thinking he could appease him somehow. He sold his soul & lost anyway. He loses with his integrity gone. What a legacy.

Whoa.

This a disgusting abomination. Republicans are going to make hard-working, law abiding taxpayers pay off the thugs and criminals who beat cops on J6 and were convicted of various other crimes. Vote every Republican out of office this Nov. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

You can take all the corruption from every single US administration in history, add it all together, and it will not equal the amount of corruption committed by the Trump Regime in less than two years.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.” For once, he’s telling the truth. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

what boggles my mind is that April's record inflation numbers could look modest compared to what might be coming

Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

Trump is stealing your money with his policies by making everything more expensive but he doesn’t care because his priorities are wars, ballrooms, reflecting pools, and self-enrichment.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Wholesale prices jump 6% as energy prices soar, raising pressure on US companies to pass along costs to consumers. @apnews.com

“.. Core PPI comes in red hot at 5.2%. The new Fed Chair might have to consider RAISING rates!” - RBAdvisers

“.. PPI jumped by 1.4% m/m in April. .. Going back in the index’s history (to 2010), the only other month that saw a larger increase was March 2022.” - Schwab

6.0% PPI y/y is the highest since Dec 2022... time to tote out those 1970s inflation charts!

Biggest m/m PPI jump since March 2022... 2nd-largest in the lat 10+ years +1.4%

Hey, mainstream media: Isn't it about time you start talking to mental-health professionals and reporting to the public about the multiple and manifest mental illnesses that have long been exhibited by the president of the United States?

Trump gets his ballroom, Hegseth gets to blow things up, the rest of us get screwed.

This is exactly what healthcare wonks have been warning would happen. In many states making it nearly impossible to various compliance is deliberate. In others it’s simply a natural consequence of having the hurdles to begin with.

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy.

Gas prices have hit another new high, averaging $4.56 a gallon, according to AAA. 81% of Americans say they're feeling a financial strain because of the cost of gas, according to a new NPR/PBS/Marist poll.

Tariff chaos. Endless wars. Handouts to the rich. You can draw a straight line from Trump and the GOP to the economic chaos now slamming Americans. Instead of helping working families, Republicans now want taxpayers to pay for their dear leader's ridiculous ballroom.
