MORE: Adani's lawyer went to Trump's DOJ and made a proposal: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the American economy and create 15,000 jobs.

The Art of the Schlemiel

Both parties don’t want Fetterman. Democrats don’t want him anymore. And he isn’t MAGA. He’s MIGA.

Donald Trump babbling about Chinese restaurants to President Xi Jinping? Embarrassing.

The DOJ—led by Trump's former personal defense attorney—is reportedly negotiating a $10 billion payout for Trump from the IRS.

The GOP is doing that thing again where they pretend the JCPOA (Obama nuclear deal) wasn’t working, despite our intelligence community, the IAEA, and our allies all confirming that it was. And the fact that all Iran’s significant enrichment happened after Trump pulled out. 🤷‍♂️

MAGA is currently celebrating the fact that… Trump took a sip of alcohol, and acting like he just cured world hunger. It’s a fucking cult.

Donald Trump can lie all he wants, but the data is clear: Trump's chaotic tariffs and his war in Iran are a one-two punch to American families. Inflation is at a multi-year high. Costs are up and they're only climbing. End the war. Lower costs for families.

Dear China, No return policy. Thanks, JC

"Don't you idiots understand? America needs more children nd babies!! Also, we should deport more children and babies." -your government.

MONEY LAUNDERING. PERIOD.

Abusing the authority of DOJ to charge political opponents threatens our liberty and undermines the department’s credibility. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

rare moment of absolute honesty from Trump He doesn’t care about the struggles of everyday Americans.

Look, I get wanting to protect your trademark. But, this kind of legal bullying is BS. Y'all know what to do. Here is the website for the Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit: www.metrodetroitanimals.org. Show them some love. 🩷

The only thing surprising about this that there are still people who think Donald cares about *anybody* but himself. They haven’t been paying attention.

While Trump is stuck in his Iran quagmire, his buddies Putin and Kim Jong Un are slipping nukes past him. A new investigation finds that a Russian cargo ship carrying two nuclear reactors headed for North Korea sank in unexplained circumstances off the coast of Spain.

Everyone knows it had to be this.

NEW: U.S. intelligence shows Iran "retains substantial missile capabilities” according to The New York Times citing people familiar with classified assessments. In a statement to The Times, a White House spokeswoman "repeated" Trump’s "previous assertions that Iran’s military had been “crushed.”"

Todd Blanche didn't keep Donald Trump out of jail. The people who kept him out of jail were the ones who refused to remove and bar him from public office (GOP Senators) and those who took far too long to get serious about criminally prosecuting him (Biden's DOJ).

And with the Epstein files, Blanche is still keeping him out of jail…

Any questions about why the GOP is desperately trying to cheat before the midterms?

House Oversight's Robert Garcia says Dems will release a new report May 12 that he says will detail, from bank records, how the sweetheart deal that Alex Acosta helped further enrich Jeffrey Epstein and expand the network of sexual abuse of adolescent girls. "This report is just the beginning."

An aspiring model and doctor "Roza," who's testifying at this shadow hearing only by her first name, details how she was raped by Jeffrey Epstein over a three-year period in which Epstein was supposed to have been serving a jail sentence. Roza met Epstein in 2009.

Trump's war is driving up inflation: The consumer price index rose at a 3.8% annual pace in the year ending in April, up from 3.3% in March and 2.4% in February.

Is anyone investigating why the president keeps falling asleep in public, or do we have to wait on the tell-all book to come out?

Buckle up, folks. This likely means they expect prices to get much worse. Also: it would add an estimated $2.5 billion to the national debt every month.

Trump is about to hit REM sleep on camera in the Oval

“The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”

NEW: A passenger returning to the U.S. from that Dutch cruise ship where the hantavirus outbreak occurred has tested positive for the virus, according to HHS. A second is showing mild symptoms.

#TRUMP IS UNFIT AS OUR PRESIDENT If Congress does nothing to impeach him, then, in Nov, we MUST VOTE to 86 #GOP & centrist #DEM like Schumer & Jeffries Then OUR Congress will 86 Electoral College 86 #MAGA wannabe King Trump #StrongerTogether #UNITEDWeStand TYVM @boldnewme.bsky.social #BlueCrew

The US did NOT contact airline passengers who flew with people known to have been infected with hantavirus. Cool cool.

BREAKING: ABC has accused Trump's FCC of violating its free speech rights — arguing that regulators had a "chilling effect" on free speech by trying to punish political content they disagreed with.

Trying to find a single example of MAGA screeching about the Logan Act when Biden was in office and Trump was in Israel, taking to Putin on the phone, or hosting dictators at Mar a Lago. Can’t seem to find one. Weird.

Is he huffing glue?

Starting to think he doesn’t have the cards

white house continues to downplay donald trumps arm meat kinda gooping off; “donald trump has at least 98% of his meat left,” communications director karoline leavitt said, “this is another fake news hoax”

Fetterman claims he is a committed Democrat. 🙄

Trump just called ABC's Rachel Scott a "horror show" after Scott asked Trump about the renovations going on around D.C. on the backdrop of war with Iran. He also said to Scott: "You can understand dirt maybe better than I can."

Donald Trump won’t always be the president. But he will always be in the Epstein files.

"The economic landscape is littered with victims mangled by Trump’s agenda. Corporate bankruptcies last year rose to their highest level in over a decade. So join me, friends, for a stroll through the ‘America First’ Corporate Graveyard."
