Back when the Graham Platner tattoo story dropped I asked a progressive former Maine state rep friend of mine if she was considering running and she said no, feel like she's probably kicking herself now

Happy Pride Month to everyone except Bari Weiss

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

The best part about legs/abs day is finishing my last set of captains chair leg raises because I don’t have to do any more for 4 more days. Fuck ALL core exercises but especially that one

The only positive thing about this story is that it's indicative of how the internal culture of many state-level GOP organizations (even in purple states like MN) has become increasingly dominated by extremist weirdos who say and do stuff like this that repels everyone outside their tiny circle.

Painting Zucks megayacht on Lake Union last night 🔥

Our nakedly, openly, shamelessly corrupt president made hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trades off of his policies and the only penalty so far has been a **$200 fine** for not telling us about it until months later

Russell Vought should be drop kicked into a crevasse, obvs

"When ———, that's not ————, that's ————." ^This phrase is almost always a glaring tell of AI. If you see that phrase in a news article or academic study or any other public writing, the author is likely a hack using The Dumbass Machine to write

Normalize naming the president who appointed the judge when writing about a court decision

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

Reuters: US JUDGE TEMPORARILY BLOCKS CREATION OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S $1.8 BILLION 'ANTI-WEAPONIZATION FUND' -COURT ORDER

Spurs are clearly the better team, but it’s all gonna come down to whether the refs decide to make themselves a factor in game 7 or step back and allow the best team to win on Saturday

Rocket blows up days after he says teachers don’t need his taxes to go up. Karma, bitch

It’s amazing what happens when the refs just let both teams play basketball

My all-Jalen NBA teams from each conference: East: Jalen Brunson (Knicks) Jaylen Brown (Celtics) Jalen Duren (Pistons) Jalen Johnson (Hawks) Jaylon Tyson (Cavaliers) West: Jalen Williams (Thunder) Jaylin Williams (Thunder) Jalen Green (Suns) Jaylen Clark (Timberwolves) Jalen Pickett (Nuggets)

The reason we don’t have larger denomination bills is that they make drug trafficking and other crimes easier

Spent some time this afternoon talking to @crgibs.bsky.social about the far-right's vice grip over the US government www.rawamerica.com/p/exclusive-...

This National Review writer is the epitome of a certain type: the anti-anti-Trump figure. Someone who claims to be anti-Trump, but in every election for the last 10 years finds some rationale to oppose the candidate running against Trumpism. Never willing to put morality above his partisanship.

I'm not sure what's sadder, the president's 20 year old son needing an AI girlfriend to pose with at events or Trump simps buying bootleg merch because they're thirsting for an AI girl

cbs purged the reporter who did the piece that bari weiss pulled from 60 minutes to please trump. no journalism at cbs, just propaganda for the criminal regime. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/b...

I always root for Kentucky players in the NBA HOWEVER Shai Gilgeous-Alexander having a 30-point night **despite only making 6 shots from the field** is really really bad for the game of basketball. He's a great player and shouldn't rely on the refs so much. This is shameful

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

All of this right here All 43 of the GOP senators who could not bring themselves to vote to convict Trump after 1/6 should have that decision tied around their necks for all time

Oh look there’s another Republican senator with 7 months left in office who now no longer has any reason to show fealty to trump

Fascists like Tucker take advantage of a lack of leftists in power by filling the vacuum with fake-leftist critiques of capitalism to gain influence over people desperate to have a voice. We’ve seen this over and over with authoritarians. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-fascis...

Iron County, Utah (pop. 65,000) just stopped any new data centers from opening there for at least 6 months. Also: Iron County voted 77% for Trump in 2024. www.sltrib.com/news/2026/05...

If you read these two pieces side by side it's impossible to come to any conclusion other than that the Biden administration were complete chumps to release visitor logs. Press punished Biden for his transparency with erroneous speculation and reward Trump for his secrecy by repeating his lies

The president is back from his "6 month physical" and has resumed watching television and posting about it. Left, Fox News, 12:41 p.m. Right, Trump, 12:47 p.m.

Breaking: South Carolina Senate just failed to invoke cloture on 7-0 gerrymandered map eliminating Jim Clyburn's majority Black district. It appears redistricting is dead for real this time as early voting begins today & 32,000 ballots already cast

trumps birthday party with gladiator fights that he’s throwing with taxpayer money while gas is approaching $6 has the potential to make the american public collectively angrier at a president than theyve ever been

All exits to Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility in New Jersey, are now being blocked by people who have mobilized in support of a hunger and work strike for better conditions for those detained.

I think the best reason not to argue with or participate in discourses about bad takes and inane opinion articles is that they all start from some right wing billionaire funded outrage media pipeline that exists to get you to react exactly like that. Guard your time and attention from these vampires
