Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ICYMI: The DOJ-Trump agreement that will create a $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off Jan 6 insurrectionists and Trump’s cronies also blocks the IRS from pursuing any action against Trump or his family for violations of tax law. Corruption in the highest form.

Absolutely demented

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Trump: "He's a dumb person! D-U-M. Not the B. Most people don't know it has a B."

Q: Why has the cost of the ballroom doubled? Trump: I doubled the size of it, you dumb person

Q: Trump's financial disclosures show a lot of stock trades in companies he has promoted-- JD VANCE: This is a hell of a question Q: How can you argue you are cleaning up corruption when the president is doing this? VANCE: C'mon man. Have a little bit of objectivity in how you ask these questions

Mind-boggling. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

I regret to inform you that the president is awake and crazy-posting

Raskin says the fund is unconstitutional. Congress didn't structure it. 14th Amendment prohibits obligations in service of insurrection. Raskin says Dem House will shut it down and compel transparency on payments. He's calling on Rs to legislate against it now. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2105...

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Republican C-SPAN caller: “It’s hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public it might help others… I regret my support for Trump, and I should’ve known better. He’s a con man. A liar. The worst, most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”

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)

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

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."

again, this is literally black-letter constitutional text in virginia. this is an inalienable power that supercedes any formal amendment process. the court went beyond its jurisdiction when it attempted to overturn the referendum.

AOC on Trump’s reported plan to use $1.7 billion in IRS funds to compensate January 6 insurrectionists and pardoned fraudsters: “He’s using the entire government as a slush fund… one of the most unpatriotic and un-American acts I’ve seen in my entire life.”

Xi Jinping deliberately placed Trump and his lackeys in front of the COMMUNIST FLAG!!

Absolutely devastating read. www.them.us/story/slain-...

Ro Khanna fact-checks Maria Bartiromo's false claims about Obama's Iran nuclear deal, and instead of defending herself Maria just says "it doesn't matter"

Trump complains he can't brag about the Iran War because of the "little man with the $4 gasoline": "I don't want to say we're making a fortune ... because if I say it, they're going to say, 'He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.'"

UPDATE: reportedly ALL Dems were stripped of committees… but white male house Dems are still listed. Only Black reps & women removed. Weird! Sexton + TN House Republicans not beating the “it’s about race” allegations. (P.S. It’s all standing committees. We have screenshots.)

Eric Trump joining Donald Trump on an official state visit to China is much more corrupt than anything involving Joe and Hunter Biden, yet New York Times coverage indicates the opposite. I show the contrast here, and challenge anyone to explain how it isn’t media bias in Trump’s favor.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

Trump describes the White House as a "shit house" when he moved in and then adds, "the big thing is we're building a ballroom in the back"

Trump: "We have a man who is doing a great job. I knew it! Because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He kept me out of jail."

Reporter: The 18-year-old American teenager whose parents were detained by ICE has died of cancer. He got his wish to see his parents just one day before he died. They had applied for a visa on humanitarian grounds to visit their son while he was getting treatments, but those requests were denied.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Dude is absolutely melting down on social media today, and he couldn’t even toss in a perfunctory “Happy Mother’s Day” among all the crazy stuff he’s been posting

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.

“HANDS OFF MEMPHIS!” Protestors & Democratic legislators leave the scene of the crime arm in arm, after Tennessee Republicans broke the law to strip Memphis of representation with a racist 9-0 map, drowning out the majority Black city with white power. @GovBillLee
