Hey guys

“Revamped.” PBS was literally defunded by Republicans, and the outlet is still scared to tell the truth

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Oh don't worry, there are plenty of genius Garland apologists out there who claim to be Dem constitutional scholars who will explain to you exactly why Biden and Garland were actually totally diligent and deserve zero blame.

It’s because Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, waited a full 18 months to even open an *investigation* into Trump’s involvement in Jan 6. That inexplicable delay allowed Trump to regroup and consolidate support for 2024. Hope this helps.

My thoughts on the Tina Peters commutation in the paper

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

NEW: Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) is commuting the sentence of Tina Peters, making her parole eligible next month.

Polis had said that remorse was a precondition for clemency. Peters has been famously defiant and unapologetic for leading a breach of Colorado’s voting systems. But Polis tells me Peters said she’s sorry her clemency application. www.9news.com/article/news... www.9news.com/article/news...

Derek Thompson is the canonical example of what staying on Twitter does to your brain.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

Good news, everyone www.cnn.com/2026/05/14/h...

recently heard that a friend of a friend “doesn’t do anything without typing it into chat gpt first” and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since

lmao "pencilslop"

her name was juniper blessing, and a blessing is what she was.

THERE IT IS: Another Truth Social-style court filing by Justice Dept Arguing for Trump Ballroom, feds claim plaintiffs have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" They say ballroom needs "state-of-the-art hospital & medical facilities, Top Secret military installations, bomb shelters"

Time to make Section 4 of the 14th Amendment famous, which explicitly bars the U.S. government from paying out or owing anything to insurrectionists. The text instructs that “all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.” constitution.congress.gov/browse/amend...

The president is using his office to run multiple grifts. Some are just straight up looting taxpayers directly. Asset seizure is the moderate position.

“Six genders.” A “vaygan.”

I really do think Trump misheard Talarico saying "cisgender" as "six genders," and that's just a thing he says now. The first person I saw make this observation deleted the post saying it, but yeah.

this is... wild actually? it's just been a birthright trip fund for east coast teens this entire time?

I thought my distaste for this song was only aesthetic but I’m excited to find out I can add a moral outrage angle as well! Kars4Kids are dishonest as well as a plague on AM radio sports broadcasts!

the true lede on this is very buried

“…as part of a lawsuit that was filed accusing Kars4Kids of false advertising by not helping underprivileged kids in California, but instead funding trips to Israel for Orthodox Jewish 17- and 18-year-olds in New York and New Jersey.” 🤯💩

This is likely more a function of X’s algorithm. There is a solid chance this video was not shown to anyone—even to those who follow the WaPo account on X. It’s amazing to watch as massive media outlets with 1M followers post tweets that get 3 retweets and 8 likes

144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to vote for this bill which gives DHS and ICE new powers to collect personal information of both migrants and American citizens

Watching this guy play is so so so fun m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q-K...

Apparently in the 80's, Brasil's military had pet jaguars that wandered around while they worked out and stuff. Look at these adorable kitties trying to play with them. They just want attention and affection. And maybe to nibble your leg off.

If i were a Dem politician i would talk about nothing but this

Trump bought $1 million-$5 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before Nvidia announced a major deal with Meta. The previous month, Trump bought $500,000-$1 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before the Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China. www.notus.org/money/donald...

Lol

Rubio: “I think China's preference is probably to have Taiwan willingly voluntarily join them.” This is almost certainly the Trump administration laying the groundwork to abandon Taiwan, just like they did with Ukraine. Authoritarians around the world will celebrate.

So Trump will create a $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to hand out cash payments to his political allies.

This is a great interview, and he absolutely nails what makes dystopian art such a double-edged sword. If your dystopia is only demoralizing, it serves real-world villains. If you depict a way forward, people will seize it (for better or worse, i.e., The Turner Diaries). We need more prosocial art.

The true death toll of US troops from Iran is higher than 13. But the reason, of course, that the death toll is so much lower than other conflicts is that Trump has refused to put boots on the ground. Iran has the upper hand because they know he won’t do it

👍

Reporter: Donald Trump is in the process of shaking down the American taxpayer for as much as ten billion dollars, do you have an opinion on that? Johnson: Crime. Boy, I don’t know.

Hello Donald this is your communications strategist speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this shit

Holy wow: With a week to go, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social is not messing around, taking on the Bari and Tony show directly with tonight’s cold open. This is amazing. youtu.be/jQpqIPBYmDM?...
