If Thomas Massie is ever right, this is it.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

BREAKING: CBS News has terminated 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley's contract following his vocal disagreements with the new leadership under Bari Weiss.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

#IssacSchorr of #mediate castigated #ScottPelley for castgating @bariweiss.skystack.xyz over her assaults upon 60 Minutes. He felt that Pelley needed to have shut up and enjoyed his paycheck.

NEWS: Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a law requiring Virginia education officials to review how January 6 is taught in schools—pushing back against efforts to rewrite history and whitewash the attack on our democracy. Read more:

It’s absolutely crazy they can void an election with no consequences.

Reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

NEW: The @AP has called the race for Texas Railroad Commission, the states oil and gas regulatory body, for insurgent candidate Bo French. With his win, Texas Republicans have advanced a slate of anti-incumbent, hard line candidates. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u...

Texas Tech QB Brandon Sorsby bet on his own games. He got caught. Many other have as well and haven’t been caught (yet). Sports gambling is ruining sports. That is all

Reminder: The Epstein files are 162 days past the congressional deadline for full release. The DOJ is withholding more than 3m files.

Ah, the Times speaks plainly.

"Courts weren't meant to stop this. ... It was intended that a corrupt criminal president like this one has to be removed by Congress. And it is not a question of politics, or polls, or talking points. It's a question of simple justice, and simply upholding our country as a nation of laws."

"We're having scandals like this every week—literally every week, and sometimes daily. There are no words to really describe the depth of the depravity, the mendacity and the corruption that we're seeing from this administration."

GOP priorities on full view:

Curious. As Jeff Bezos paid no taxes, does this mean that he did not avail himself of taxpayer vased emergency services after the explosion? #Bezos #BlueOrigin

The fact is that the most correct observation anyone can make about US politics over the previous decade is that voting for Hillary Clinton would have fixed literally everything you’re currently suffering from, and you only think this isn’t the case because of misogyny

I am trying to ejoy my breakfast while listening to the group next to me are doing Bible study. They are ruining my eating enjoyment with their deep dive into the KJV

Jaxson Dart is a big fan of Brett Favre. He will never be remotely as successful as Brett was. Brett kept his Klan sheet in the trunk until he was done playing. It was just a good business decision. Jaxson made a very bad business decision.

American friends. If you haven't yet, please start following what is going on in Europe at the moment concerning trade with China. It is QUITE a thing.

"What we need is a rebirth of the American spirit. And the way we achieve that is by standing up for what's good in our system, our democracy, people doing the right thing, and talking about what public service means. ... That's one of the forgotten functions of Congress.

Silencing freedom of the press. Essential for all dictators.

WATCH— @aoc.bsky.social :“We’ve been taught to lower our expectations for things that a generation ago were afforded to every American. It didn’t feel like a fantasy to be able to have one job, support your family, go on vacation, and put some money in your pocket…” (From @marcofoster.bsky.social)

Let's make this perfectly clear: When a guilty defendant in a court case (Trump) does things to hurt a plaintiff from that court case that is a criminal act.

NEW: Alaska lawmakers have allocated more than $148M toward school construction and maintenance following reporting by KYUK, ProPublica and @npr.org that documented a severe health and safety crisis inside buildings used for public education.

Here’s a plan. No more war unless we plan to win it, and will use whatever force we need to do so. No more “no boots on the ground” promises. If a war is worth starting, then you do what you need to. If you aren’t willing to, then you shouldn’t start the war

So it looks like we’re having a “Marshall plan” for Iran, in the amount of 300 billion to pay for the damage we did. Winning?
