Trump has major influence over a small primary in a heavy gop district, behold his mighty power

Everything about the $1.8 billion fund is ludicrous but don’t ignore the irony of blue states being forced to pay for bullshit “weaponization” claims as the government is being weaponized against them. Gift link:

Before today ends Dear friends in California... Guess who just endorsed Xavier Becerra for Governor of California? The awesome Representative Jasmine Crockett Jasmine truth to power Jasmine the best of us Jasmine just told Californians you need a world class leader That is Xavier Becerra

The GOP is distilling itself into an even purer criminal enterprise.

Force them to go on the record.

man wonder what kind of stuff inspired the attack on the san diego islamic center

Ask yourself: Why would a settlement over leaked tax filings include a prohibition on examinations of previously filed returns? One answer, which lots of people are missing: For years, Trump has been fighting an IRS audit that could have resulted in a $100M bill. No longer, apparently.

GOP: This is fine. Supreme 6: Totally fine.

He’s the Sheriff of Nottingham at this point.

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and-thank-you-stephen-colbert

'I have never read the Washington Post' might seem like a throwaway but it's the most obvious lie in history and we just blow past it. Small potatoes in the grand scheme but really speaks volumes about their relationship with the truth.

Because of course. Texas, I don’t even know what to say to you. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

So vile.

Blanche Defends Trump Strangling a Child is a headline that we could potentially see. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

I guess my questions are 1. How did the Axios writer get these military documents? 2. How were they allowed to freely discuss what was in said military documents, in an article, that is broadly public for anyone to see? America..we in danger y'all! Only we can save us. #SheShed #Cuba

Will the person(s) responsible for the order of candidates on this ballot kindly identify themselves? What the hell is this? Because it’s not alphabetical order. Or any other kind of order as far as I can tell.

"I argue here that this three-pronged assault constitutes the most antidemocratic and morally reactionary series of judicial acts in the Court's history." https://harrylitman.substack.com/p/callais-caps-the-roberts-courts-comprehensive

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said that there’s a “ton of evidence” that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against President Donald Trump during a segment on Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday morning show. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: The Supreme Court allowed Texas to kill a man the state earlier said it was not permitted to kill. Justice Jackson: "I cannot understand the Court’s rush to extinguish [life], much less in the circumstances of this case." Today, at Law Dork:

White “Christian” MEN are making their play.

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

Drink this in.

Jesus wept.

Wait, this is a taxpayer funded event? Are you serious??

Defense Sec Hegseth speaking via video at this event, closing his remarks w/a story about George Washington praying at Valley Forge. Note: Washington was a person of faith, but historians have long dismissed the story of him praying at Valley Forge as a fabrication. religionnews.com/2025/09/29/c...

We need a name for this fanatic fest.

This @ft graphic shows that trump suddenly got very interested in trading stocks

Reminder. This one is big fun.

This is yet another reason why we don’t hollow out our federal agencies and let grifting amateurs steer the ship. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/w...

He lowered himself, trying to crawl back into the Don’s good graces. Voted to confirm a lunatic at the top of HHS. But the GOP tolerates no dissent. Now he’s out and his reputation is in tatters. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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. Boost every video. Share every livestream. Make sure the whole country sees it. Find an event near you👇🏾 www.mobilize.us/blackvotersm...

This is an R+5 district, but in today's environment, that's totally winnable! EstherKimVaret.com to volunteer. You know democracy's at stake, so do something about! This is a new district & voters don't know the situation with the top two system. We need to coalesce around the leading Democrat.

90% of ICE detentions have been illegal, according to 10,000 judges’ rulings www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Amici (including ex-Judge Gleeson & ex-SG Don Verrilli) have told the judge in IRS v Trump of 3 “substantial defenses” in Trump’s tax case, including (1) sovereign immunity, being argued *now* by DOJ in other cases involving tax leaks by the *same* govt contractor ... 1/3

Amazing fact about Blue California: The state actually wants people to vote.

From @steverattner.bsky.social: “This is extraordinary. I've been a professional investor for decades and I haven't made this many trades in my career.” Gobsmacking corruption no previous president would even try, without getting impeached and removed. 🤯 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

via @hissgoescobra.bsky.social Listen to the judge at Tina Peters's trial give a searing condemnation of her crimes and behavior in Court. Compare this to what Polis is trying to spin today, in order to justify the bended knee to Trump and his shortcutting of the judicial process:

The wife of an active-duty U.S. Army sergeant with 27 years of service was needlessly detained by ICE for an entire month despite having a valid work permit and an obvious pass to a Green Card through marriage. ICE goons sadistically detain victims as long as they can until forced to release them.

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

They banned Alex Haley’s Roots.

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

4-star Admiral Linda Fagan, the first woman to lead a branch of the U.S. military, was given 3 hours to vacate her home after being fired by President Trump, to make way for Kristi Noem. Now, months after being fired, Noem has finally moved out.
