Far-right figure Tommy Robinson posted online a few days ago an interview with Texas Railroad Commission GOP candidate Bo French, where French told Robinson that Muslims are on a "civilizational jihad" & thus "we have to ban Islam." Robinson in turn lauded French for his "bravery."

Really good investigative work here about a PAC that spends money on Dem races, yet is funded and operated by ring wing political meddlers.

I think it’s fair to expect the President of the United States to not fall asleep in public.

So good 🫠

Can’t agree with sentiment more. If you aren’t willing to fight for your constituents and for democracy, move out of the way and let others lead. Thank you, Senator Kim, and others who’ve been harmed like Rep. McIver, Sen. Padilla, Rep. Grijalva off the top of my head.

The legendary jazz saxophonist, who revolutionized the art of improvisation, died Monday at his home in Woodstock, N.Y. n.pr/3Q2hMWr

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

Tremendous

An NBC News investigation finds dozens of examples of criminals imitating ICE to rob and attack people www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“‘What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country,’ Kim told @nj.com on Monday.” “It’s sad, it’s a sad day.” Senator @kim.senate.gov was among the crowd of protesters when federal immigration agents fired pepper balls. www.nj.com/news/2026/05...

A masked man in an armored vehicle, dressed as if he is in the middle of a war zone, training a weapon on unarmed protestors. This is simply incompatible with democratic expression.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. (Published May 2025)

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

The manifesto left behind by the San Diego mosque shooters dedicates only a few paragraphs to the shooter’s hatred of Islam but pages and pages to their hatred of Jews, which would seem weird if you were a newborn baby deer who knew nothing about Christian Nationalism

OMFG. Wemby just hit buzzer beating three from half-court. Also, nuns.

Nobody knows.

My dude is blowing a Shofar at the Spurs game? #Tekiah!!!

David Rosner, a longtime public health professor at Columbia, did such important work documenting the terrible lung disease silicosis, a hazard for construction workers, miners, and stone cutters, leading to reforms. I recommend his classic book DEADLY DUST. press.umich.edu/Books/D/Dead...

The Trump Administration is starving Cuba.

between him and Cassidy I am sick and tired of guys who are personally responsible for putting these dudes in their current positions of power whining about them on the television Tillis was the deciding vote for Hegseth, Cassidy for RFK, own your awful choices and apologize for what you did

Lololol at Taylor being so embarrassed by this 🤣 Trav, college was a long time ago. Let go of the chugging 😆

Kelsey Plum has 38 points. It's her high as a Spark.

We live in a country now where the president uses his power to censor media figures who criticize him and then brags about it.

Just in case you were wondering, the chemical plant in Orange County, California that might soon explode is about 21 miles northwest of where the #USMNT will have its World Cup base camp. www.latimes.com/california/l...

Senator Andy Kim confirms inhumane conditions, bad food and water and lack of due process in Delaney Hall. Says there are pregnant women not getting medical care. Asks for his Republican colleagues to also visit and press ICE and GEO Group on these issues. @north.dsanj.org

So let’s get something straight about the unhoused: California is expected to carry a massive share of America’s homelessness crisis, then gets mocked for struggling under the weight of a problem that clearly extends far beyond Los Angeles. 🧵

Trump's Gestapo

On November 10, 2016, still reeling from Trump's election less than two days earlier, I went to a taping of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It was like a big support group. For a brief moment, I felt a little better. I'll miss seeing his genius on display regularly.

It's good when institutions actually enforce their norms and principles. Even when that threatens comfy relationships and "big tents." I wish the other state Democratic parties did it for, saying, covering up the police murder of a teenager.

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

Absolutely perfect two sentences.

this got me to look up the Radio Hall of Fame and its list of inductees is incredible

Massie voted straight GOP the vast majority of the time. His only real break with Trump was over the Epstein files. Kentucky voters rejected the guy who wanted to expose the truth about a sex offender because Trump told them to. Think about what that means.

Thank you hoops gods, for giving us these simple game 1 pleasures amidst this hellscape lol.

The “we don’t have the votes” excuse for refusing to force a vote on impeachment is conceding the point and saying even the opposition party doesn’t think this high crime merits removal from office. It’s not being politically astute and pragmatic, it’s self-defeating in its cowardice.

“The great drone empire” 😆🤦‍♀️

From Steph range except Wemby is 7-4 and 22 years old and in the final minute of OT of the WCF

I still can't believe I just saw a 7'5 guy take a pull-up 30-foot game-tying three. This is what it must've been like to see a movie in color for the first time.
