Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Today, a federal judge threw out the criminal case against Mr. Abrego Garcia, ruling the prosecution was vindictive—brought not to seek justice, but to punish a man for fighting for his rights. This is a hard-fought win. And a critical reminder: it is always right to stand up for the Constitution.

“Babies’ autopsy reports” Trump and rfk did this.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Never trust billionaires.

If Donald Trump tries to confirm a Supreme Court justice in his final two years, Senate Democrats must follow The McConnell Rule™… WHO AGREES?! 🤚

This is me walking out of Plum's circa 2008

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Not since Vietnam have we seen a more systematic effort by an administration to lie about the nature, costs, consequences and results of a war than we have seen from this administration on Iran. What we have here is an illegal unnecessary war wrapped in a strategic fiasco inside a huge cover-up.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

This seems hopeful

Cancel culture for thee, not for me

A lot of the "suspicious inconsistencies" about what happened after the shots were fired last night can easily be explained by two objective facts: 1) Trump is very stupid and 2) everyone who works for him is aggressively bad at their jobs No need for conspiracism here

This is truly Must Read weekend reading. Important to know what's going on here. A powerful and clear explanation of apparent flaws in the Indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center @splcenter.org. By @weissmann.substack.com who was head of the Justice Department's Fraud Section.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

Besides Fetterman, who’s in that 3%

"The encounter is jolting in a good way, and the surprise sparks pleasure, public pleasure, even laughter, things that are disorienting and destabilizing to authoritarians..." www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Me too

She’s so good.

And if any of you are seeing this — DM me. Let’s set up a VOT chapter and get y’all a drink.

Eternity is not long enough

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for? The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

First: hilarious. Second: A core belief of Trump-brand conservativsm is there are and never have been difficult problems, only dumb leaders without the strength to be cruel enough to solve them. It's why they always look so baffled when pushing the "more cruelty" button doesn't seem to work.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security. theatln.tc/SS6krazR

"There's only one majority in this country and that's the working class." —Zohran Mamdani

On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors

📌NPR has received two of the largest gifts in the public media network's existence, totaling $113 million. This is something called a "good news" story. I'd die without NPR, I really would.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

More of this.

The Fire Rises and the Rage Grows Against The Broligarchs When the Billionaire Class sucks humanity dry, the people begin to rise and burn it down. We discuss the growing revolution against the Epstein class and highlight some of the wins. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-fire-r...

It’s also kidnapping when they do this to immigrants.

Yes. More of this.

you know it'd be really nice if the media started reporting on the fact that the president is genuinely out of his goddamn mind and is holding the world in a hostage situation about it

Einstein Visa? Or Epstein Visa?

Say @robertgarcia.bsky.social? Now that Melania has stated clearly that she was not an Epstein victim, couldn't you (and @rokhanna.bsky.social and Massie) ask DOJ to unredact instances where they have redacted her name?

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

Remember when Joni Ernst said she was concerned about voting to confirm Hegseth because of his writings & statements which indicated hostility to women serving in non-support military roles, but said she decided to vote for him after he privately assured her that wasn’t the case?

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

Andy Kim: "Homan did an excellent job dodging your question about why Trump didn't start paying the TSA agents sooner if he had the authority all along. I know the answer to that, the American people know. It's because he doesn't care about them."

Trump brags about violating the constitution.

My hunch: Kushner and witkoff proposed to Iran that they open the straight of Hormuz as a tollway and they’d share the revenue. Trump’s threatening that tolls, like tariffs, will be based on “loyalty” to him, so NATO will be charged huge tolls.

That’ll show em

I’d like to think they’re building Super Americans, defenders of democracy.

Democratic leadership has no idea how many people are being won over by Tucker Carlson and MTG over Israel. No clue. None. They'll stick with Netanyahu and AIPAC even as it drags the party and American security down the toilet. I hope someone, anyone, who has their ear, sounds the alarm.
