“This isn’t how things are supposed to work in America,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointee based in New York. “Unquestionably, the laws of human decency condemn such villainy.” www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

To settle his suit with the IRS, Trump reportedly wants to create a $1.7 BILLION slush fund of taxpayer dollars that he can dole out to any of his loyalists who claim the Biden administration targeted them. He would oversee the fund’s commission. The corruption is breathtaking

This whole Administration is just one big grift. Everyone is encouraged to use their position to extort money from the corporations the Administration regulates. The result is simple: Trump officials profit. Corporations get favors. Regular people get screwed.

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year? BURGUM: Intermittent or base load? M: 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW. B: But only when the sun is shining M: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year - less than 10% of China. You're harming our natl security

A woman demonstrating her exceptional intelligence in contrast to a wealthy but arrogant individual.

We’re getting there.

What a difference two years can make.

A new poll finds that 72% of Americans — including 55% of Trump voters — agree there is too much money in politics. How do we get that money out? Montana (and now Hawaii) could have the answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

NEW: Secret Handshake installed working arcade games called Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell at the DC War Memorial. The game features "furious tweet battles against Iranian schoolgirls, low-flow shower heads, and other threats to American freedom like DEI and The Pope..."

It’s Back to the Future in Memphis- and no, this is not a movie, Marty McFly will not be the lead character. This is about real life history.


“…Trump is putting his scowling face on new passports issued out of D.C.” “Worse, the drawing looks almost exactly like his mug shot. Thirty-eight countries bar felons from entering, but they can’t keep his passport out.” 🤮🤮🤮 🎁👇🏼

Judge: “It should alarm all Americans when the Government retaliates against individuals or organizations for engaging in constitutionally protected public debate. And that alarm should ring even louder when the Government retaliates against those engaged in newsgathering and reporting.”

"The Trump Administration ran the same play against much larger companies. They capitulated. We didn’t. "Now, after nearly a year of litigation, they relented and agreed to a practically unprecedented settlement in our favor..." www.ms.now/opinion/medi...

“She fled genital mutilation in Togo. The U.S. deported her.
A judge ruled that the woman should not be deported there, so the Trump admin sent her to Ghana — which returned her to Togo.” “the WH defended its use of third-country deportations, adding that it doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon.” 🎁👇🏼

Boom.

The New York Times just won a Pulitzer prize for reporting on Trump's business interests, including crypto www.pulitzer.org/winners/staf...

Saverio, a 19 year-old Italian tuxedo cat, is living a happy life in the medieval streets of Poppi (Italy). He has become the official mascot of the village.

“Anyone with a passing familiarity with current events understands that Roberts’s argument — that the public is somehow mistaken about the Court’s function as the judicial arm of the Republican Party — is irreconcilable with reality.”

Plenty of great male role models are available: Attenborough, Obama, Mamdani. But many men ignore them because what they actually want is unearned respect, unearned dominance. The "male role model crisis" is just like the "male loneliness crisis"--sympathetic-sounding terms for a tantrum.

Massive. Voter. Turnout. It’s all we have left now.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

There’s a reason why poll after poll find Americans overwhelmingly upset with the WH ballroom. As one political pundit put it: “…Trump’s plan to transform the People’s House into an “emperor’s palace” symbolizes a “broader effort to replace a republican regime with an imperial one.””

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system. To counter Trump’s culture wars and fake populism, progressives must mount a real battle against economic elites who have rigged the game — and shafted millions of working class people.

NEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.
