I want to say thank you, and farewell, to Stephen Colbert before his final show this evening. But I also want to remind folks of the corruption behind his cancellation. Watch.

Susan's concerned again: "Senator Susan Collins, who said she opposed the fund in part over concerns that it would provide money for Jan. 6 rioters who had assaulted law enforcement, exited the session saying that Mr. Blanche had not changed her mind." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

Lies, more lies. The timeline doesn't add up, then THIS: "Interior decided to settle this supposedly impending litigation, paying Total nearly $1 billion, in exchange for the company investing an equivalent amount into U.S. oil and gas projects." SO STUPID. heatmap.news/politics/huf...

“Behind the big house is the rest of the story.” This documentary, Natchez, is so beautifully done. Serious and painful. Los of characters. Very Southern.

Welcome to Kentucky, Peter. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...

A government watchdog has been conducting a major investigation into how DOGE handled sensitive information. But the probes have been hindered by federal agencies trying to avoid handing over information.

Hoarding. “They should be spending the money as aggressively as they raise it, but they seem to be hoarding." www.propublica.org/article/st-j...

GOOD! Jamie's been a complete embarrassment as my congressman. Awful, just awful.

If you follow energy at all, you're probably familiar with the fact that the IEA and other energy analysts have a long record of underestimating the growth of solar and batteries. But did you know that they also have a long record of *overestimating* the growth of nuclear?

Virginia Foxx, a true MAGA darling, is doing her best Cruella De Ville imitation. Disgusting on many levels. youtube.com/shorts/FYqzG...

We're told that negative polarization is a bad thing, but would *you* let a Republican take care of *your* kids?

The Kentucky Resources Council is petitioning the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to hold a hearing challenging the license request made by Global Laser Enrichment to build a first-of-its-kind laser uranium enrichment facility in Paducah. www.lpm.org/news/2026-05...

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.” “If [gas prices] rise, they rise.” "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." Millions are struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead. And this is how Trump responds?

Frost, who visited the facility multiple times, also said that Floridians “deserve accountability for every dollar wasted and every abuse that took place behind those doors.” thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Cleta Mitchell has accused Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), without evidence, of calling in a bomb threat after a suspicious object was found near a planned Raffensperger campaign stop. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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."

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Bluesky has been a net negative for US politics. They corralled everyone on the left into a little glass fishbowl where they shout at one another & everyone else ignores them. Meanwhile, all the pols & institutions stayed on X & are being dragged farther right.

This is so pathetic. DOJ is 0-6 in lawsuits to gain access to state voter roles. It couldn't find any legal authority for its claims so it wrote its own memo to cite to the 6th Circuit. SAD! www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

In Opinion The Pentagon’s $25 billion estimate for the cost of the war in Iran “gets a lot of attention, but it’s more of a headline than a real number,” the economist Justin Wolfers writes. “My math suggests the Iran war will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and very possibly trillions.”

Your Ka$h ain't nothin' but trash. "The bottles bear the imprint of the Kentucky distillery Woodford Reserve, and are engraved with the words “Kash Patel FBI Director,” as well as a rendering of an FBI shield." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Trump administration is now going after poll workers in Fulton County, Georgia. This smells like desperation⁹. youtube.com/watch?v=xVs0...

Palm Beach International Airport is now officially renamed to Donald J. Trump International Airport. The airport will be required to purchase official Trump merchandise, directly violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Uncanny timing. Amazing! "Former Attorney General Pam Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of shares of Trump Media the same day that President Donald Trump unveiled bruising new tariffs that caused the stock market to plummet..." www.propublica.org/article/pam-...

tRump ass kisser Scott Jennings lost a debate with Adam Mockler; and snaps! It's clear: Since he couldn't attack the message, he attacked the messenger's tone; the last refuge of someone who has no rebuttal. Adam, 23, clinical in his delivery, effectively dismantled 48 year old Scott's arguments! 😂🤣

Demonetization blues, @diaperdiplomacy-m.bsky.social? By settling with Trump over their content-moderation policies following J-6, Big Tech companies “can pivot toward dispensing with the work of moderation altogether,” @cwarzel argues in The Atlantic Daily. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Trump and Hegseth ignored experts - and reality - when they started the war with Iran. Their bad choices raised your gas prices. www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - British military says a cargo ship is ablaze off the coast of the UAE as it warns of Iranian attacks. @apnews.com

Trump talked to...Vladimir Putin for an hour and a half—the twelfth phone call between the two leaders since Trump took office a second time—and just hours later posted about removing U.S. troops from Germany. Putin has wanted to weaken the U.S. commitment to Europe and NATO for a long time.

Adrian Fontes, AZ Dem SOS, fears that Trump’s efforts to forcibly extract voter files from 30 states are attempt to create a centralised US citizen database. “Trump is trying to amass a master list that will allow him to declare someone an enemy of the state” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is not Gaza. It’s Lebanon. A town that was home to 30,000 people. This is what Israel has done to it, with American bombs. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Going out for dinner this evening? Be prepared to show your ID -- paraphrasing AG Todd Blanche. Pure idiocy.

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

“We checked ‘the movies’ for 86 references: In The Candidate (1972), Robert Redford is told to ‘86 the sideburns.’ In The Grace Card (2010), Michael Joiner plays a cop who is so annoyed by his partner’s singing that he asks ‘can we 86 it, please?’” open.substack.com/pub/ofthebra...

Trump has declared victory in Iran. Great timing Donald!

At an Easter luncheon at the White House earlier this month, Donald Trump said to his guests that it is “not possible” for the federal government to “take care of day care” (or Medicaid, or Medicare), because “we’re fighting wars...” www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

The only fraud here seems to be on the part of the U.S. on the grand jury and public. Why? Because the indictment advances a bizarre theory- how can anyone think that the Southern Poverty Law Center was doing any of this activity to foment beliefs that are diametrically opposed to its mission?
