it never really occurred to me republicans would simply stop pretending the wars aren't about oil

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Scott Pelley said, hours before an episode of 60 Minutes on the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti was set to air, Bari Weiss sent an email asking for changes to the episode: "Can we make the protesters look more violent?"

1/ What if you put all the ways that Jared Kushner is selling out America while lining his pockets into one place? In our new cover story, @cjcmichel.bsky.social did just that www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This needs to be understood.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

"Former IDF member Barak Ravid is an Israeli journalist who serves as a political analyst for CNN & reporter for Axios. Barak continuously creates news reports from anonymous sources of "close" or "imminent" deals to allow for oil prices to undergo market manipulation." bsky.app/profile/atru...

Tax all churches like the businesses they are

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Scott Pelley: “Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon: can we make the protesters look more violent? I’m paraphrasing Also: Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer. That’s not what the video shows. The officer is standing off the front of the car”

CBS is dead to me!

Politicized incompetence at the hands of Bari Weiss. RIP editorial independence and journalistic integrity at CBS News

Say cheese

He’s turned the White House into a laundromat, just as Trump Tower was. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A bike planner died on his community’s streets, and I wish that this was a unifying moment for the transpo practitioner community to come together to demand networks of all-ages facilities for people on bikes. Not ITS or robocars or bulbouts. All-ages bike facilities. RIP Riley O’Neil.

This is why the mainstream media is in such trouble all over the western world. This hypocrisy, deception and manipulation is repeated across the press and broadcasters in Europe and America - yet we ask why nobody trusts us anymore. To fix democracy we must fix the media. It’s a simple truth.

Kasparov: Merkel was the best agent of Russian interests, not as a spy, but politically. She made Germany and Europe dependent on Russian gas, built Nord Stream 2 after Crimea, and paralyzed efforts to build a strong coalition against Putin. 📺 x.com/mylovanov/st...

Stop calling employer healthcare a benefit. If you can’t quit without losing your doctor, it’s a leash.

Bari Weiss not beating the bootlicking propagandist allegations here:

This animation map shows 87 days of combat in Normandy, after D-day 82 years ago Today. British units marked in orange, Canadian in red, US in units and Axis in black Original post

Can’t be repeated enough…

Susan Rice absolutely schools Bill Maher on Iran.

Whoa! The West is a brutal reminder that you can’t negotiate with climate change. 70% of the West’s water supply depends on mountain snowpack. This year, record warmth and the “March Meltdown” turned that natural reservoir into a trickle.

George Santos called me after my story revealing federal investigations into his suspected market manipulation on Kalshi. And he said: "This story is going to get you a gun in your face." Then he lied about it. www.npr.org/2026/06/04/n...

Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims Any 2028 candidate who does not champion universal healthcare is a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell

On the left is the actual photo of Rep. Mike Rogers on the campaign trail in Michigan while running for US senate. On the right is the photo posted by one of his consultants. There's a lot to unpack in today's bulletin. Read now: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Obsequious (adjective) describes someone who is excessively eager to please, praise, or obey. It typically implies behavior that is servile, fawning, or insincere, usually displayed to gain the favor of an authority figure

The United States is being gutted. It’s intentional. #krasnov

One of the more interesting things to come out of Iowa is that Democrats and Republicans there are agreed that Chuck Schumer is the perfect embodiment of everything that's wrong with the Democratic Party. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

amazing this is not a skit

CBS: “Ken Paxton calls you Tala-freako.” 🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. He’s the most corrupt politician in 🇺🇸. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.”

🔥 Ronny Chieng at Harvard: “F*ck A.I. — the mission of your generation is to destroy it… shortcuts to skip to the end aren’t always good. The journey is the point of all this.”

ICYMI — Justice Alito’s son has been working in the Trump administration 🤔🤷🏼 So much corruption

They ALL knew

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.

An ICE Air flight (EAL8282) that originated in Harlingen, TX is currently en route to Senegal after a stop in Miami. We’re monitoring this flight for deportation stops in the region.

obsequious little bitch

With 159 days until midterms why would Iran stop stringing trump along when he gets more desperate for a deal every day? Art of the deal!

"If you want $3 gas, you're going to have to wait 6 years. We will not get back down to that sub-$70 oil level until 2032"

Big win for Iran, Russia & China. Huge lose for global democracy as USA self isolates

SNYDER: Our entire diplomatic process has been reduced to only two negotiators: president’s son-in-law and president’s friend. They are not diplomats. You would probably say, “That looks incredibly corrupt,” and you would also say, “That looks like it could never work.”

Our government has become so corrupt that there's nobody left to investigate the corruption
