As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Cool,Cuz We Can't Get Enough Of Mayor Mamdani.......👏🏻

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

Oh so he does understand what’s happening www.axios.com/2026/06/01/t...

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

BREAKING: Appeals court rules Trump illegally banned transgender troops from military service.

“.. Inflation-adjusted disposable personal income growth fell by 1.1% y/y in April. Rarely have we seen that kind of a decline outside of recessions.” - Schwab

$800 MILLION. That's how much more Americans are paying every day on gas thanks to Trump's war with Iran. But guess who's getting richer? Chevron CEO: +$104M ConocoPhillips CEO: +$54M Baker Hughes CEO: +$33M The same Big Oil executives Trump promised to deliver for on day one.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Donald spent Saturday complaining on the Internet. 6 hours, 52 posts… and when not posting he’s trying to rob us. He sued the 🇺🇸 government he commands for $10 BILLION, then settled with himself for $1.776 Billion to cut checks to cronies and 1/6 foot soldiers.”

Come out and Protest Trumps Birthday, It’s Patriotic! No Kings

Yesterday Donald compared himself to Elvis Presley, who famously died on the toilet. But he’s also building a bunker, which is where Hitler ultimately took his own life. I like a show that keeps us guessing as to how it will end.

Ossoff: "Last week, yet more Americans were wounded in a war nobody voted for & nobody can explain. This war in Iran is worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq, & just like the Iraq war, it's a war built on lies. Let's update the record. On day one Trump said it was running 'ahead of schedule' ... "

The only thing more satisfying than the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center is the unwell Orange Man-Baby's entirely predictable, seething, unhinged, self-pitying, incoherent, raging, angry, vengeful meltdown reacting to the news. Someone call a wahh-mbulance! And how is your weekend going?

Congrats to the GOP for forcing the entire country talk about @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s girlfriend, who it turns out is super hot 👍

New headliner announced for the Freedom 250 concert

Welp

Not the Steve Miller Band we wanted. I did Nazi this coming.

The corruption never stops.

Men who worship Trump, a man who wears liquid foundation, is *obsessed* with ballrooms, dances to gay anthems from the ‘70s, plays music from Broadway musicals, talks fondly about Arnold Palmer’s enormous penis, and gushes about how hot Jaxson Dart is, are questioning James Talarico’s sexuality?

It’s the Second Time he has done this for our State! Thank You Stephen Colbert….

Holy shit. He’s bragging about taking a FOURTH dementia test! 👀

We've never seen an economy so bad for workers — and so good for the super rich. It’s only going to get worse with AI. How should we respond?

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

What an absolute mess and a complete disgrace!

Kevin McCarthy went on Bill Maher to cry that investigators checked his phone records after January 6. Katy Tur shuts him down: They didn't get the information in your conversations. It was just the calls that were made between you and the White House.

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

"WILL YOU SING AT MY FREEDOM 250 CONCERT?"

Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery.

Ah, the Times speaks plainly.

Trump’s behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I can’t help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person.

The first lawsuit against the largest immigration detention facility in the United States was filed this morning, and it’s been a long time coming.

When a President’s physicians start citing “AI cardiac age” metrics and explaining bilateral bruising from “frequent handshaking,” the line between medical documentation and political messaging disappears.

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

BREAKING: Judge Amit Mehta says Jeanine Pirro's "Because I said so" reason is NOT sufficient for him to rule on whether to dismiss the charges against the Oath Keepers. Pirro has until June 5th to provide a satisfactory reason. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened

Trump: “We have no money for cancer research, healthcare, or feeding hungry kids.” Also Trump: Approves $5,000,000 to coat a bunch of horse statues in 23.75-karat gold. Priorities.

According to The Guardian, Democrats are experiencing better health outcomes because they don't share Republicans' ignorant distrust of medicine. This is a phenomenon known as Darwinism.

Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REMOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NAME FROM KENNEDY CENTER BUILDING - ORDER

BREAKING (ABC News): A federal judge said that President Trump can't close or rename the Kennedy Center, ruling that it cannot be officially named for anyone else unless Congress approves it.

That *is* an answer.

Bret Michaels just pulled out of Trump's partisan America 250 event. 6 of 9 artists have now pulled out.
