NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

BREAKING: Look at this. #$DELL just won a five-year $9.7 billion Pentagon software agreement for the US military. But Trump also bought #$DELL. He bought multiple times since February 10th, up to more than $5,000,000. On May 8th, he said: "Go out and buy a Dell." Unusual.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

American politics is bananas. I can’t believe there is a whole generation growing up to think that it’s normal for known criminals to win party nominations and public office.

I've been thinking a lot about the death of friendship lately. "Somewhere between “Let’s catch up soon” and “Sorry, life has been hectic”, adult friendship became one of the most emotionally significant and least discussed losses of modern life." timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/civil-...

In case anyone needs a refresher, the Mueller and Senate Intel probes documented that Trump and his team: - welcomed - received - benefitted from - and lied about Russian campaign campaign assistance, then obstructed the investigation. None of this has been discredited. tinyurl.com/5n8kjymy

By the time Thomas Jefferson had written the Declaration of Independence, “he had, as the historian Richard Bell has put it, turned King George into ‘Nero, Richard III and Attila the Hun all rolled into one,’” Stacy Schiff writes. “For many who read the litany today, the resonance is unmistakable.”

Karoline Leavitt to Fox before the WHCD event: There will be some shots fired tonight

“Are you concerned about insider trading on these prediction markets re: the war?” TRUMP: “The world is a casino. It is what it is.” 🤷🏼 And there you have it, folks!

Josef Palermo spent 10 months working at the Kennedy Center because he wanted to help protect it. He reports from inside the "hostile political takeover" of the nation’s cultural center:

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

Interesting how few of the @nytimes.com articles have comments enabled the last few days…

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) is introducing articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth over his role as “a chief enabler of this illegal war” in Iran. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

These are the rantings of a bloodthirsty lunatic. It is sick beyond measure to threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. This is not what the American people want. It is well past time for the Republican Congress to join Democrats and put an end to this war.

Reminder that Democrats put 9 bills forward to fund TSA. Republicans voted them down. And Trump says that he won't approve TSA funding unless it's tied to passage of his voter suppression law. https://www.curbed.com/article/tsa-laguardia-airport-shutdown-lines-tips.html

A democracy cannot survive when billionaires are allowed to utterly deform its politics. End Citizens United.

The American flag comes down under a Trump banner amid stormy weather at DOJ.

"The political ineptitude of the magnates of industry and finance was no less than that of the generals and led to the mistaken belief that if they coughed up large enough sums for Hitler he would be beholden to them." Shirer, William L. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (p. 237)

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Breaking News: The House voted to rescind tariffs that President Trump imposed on Canada last year, delivering a symbolic but politically consequential rebuke.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

Kristi Noem AND Stephen Miller must go.

Very important, from former @govjayinslee.bsky.social:

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Anne Frank

Just got back from my first day as a bus driver. I think it went well, despite the passengers telling me (wrongly) I was going to wrong destination. Now to crack open a beer and check BlueSky...

Only 3 Republicans in the House (4 vacancies) and 20 Republicans in the Senate are needed to impeach, REMOVE, AND CONVICT Donald Trump. Only 23 People – 23 people MUST summon their courage and do the right thing.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

This is quite a post www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/reality-is...

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Apple and Google have previously removed apps providing nudify services from their app stores. So why havent they taken action against X and Grok? @carolinehaskins.bsky.social reports

"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street." www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

A former leader of Turning Point Action was sentenced to two years of probation and barred from running for office for five years for forging voters’ signatures on his petitions as part of his 2024 bid for re-election to the Arizona House.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
