Kash Patel is facing backlash after a New York Times investigation confirmed that the FBI Director took part in a “V.I.P. snorkel” excursion near the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor a sacred war grave where more than 1,100 American service members lost their lives.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

“They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social in Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

It’s really hard to describe how insane this story is. Of course Patel went snorkeling over the USS Arizona - that’s what happens when you put an irreverent internet troll in charge of a government agency. Disrespectful assclown.

"As they rushed into his apartment...he felt the jaws of a large dog biting into his ankle, knocking him to the floor. He screamed as the dog tore the flesh from his thighs, hip and wrist. Down the hall, agents took a mother and her 16-yr-old son at gunpoint..." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

This is not okay! Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced today that he’s commuting the sentence of Tina Peters a former county clerk and 2020 election denier who received nine years for tampering with election equipment

Ah, yes. Fewer air traffic controllers is the answer. www.reuters.com/business/wor...

If I missed my court date, a default judgment would be entered against me.

AIPAC is as we all know a sponsor of terrorism and should be banned in our country.

And he's too stupid to see it but his republican friends know it and continue the charade.

My belief is, the game is changing because the world stopped waiting for the US to lead, and their plans are not thwarted by corporations who think they should run everything.

"the dramatic cost declines in batteries have now made 'firm renewables' — solar or wind paired with batteries — cheaper than fossil fuels in many parts of the world." This is game changing.

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.

Imagine having to get towed out by a minivan...🤣🤣

Cleaning up Orban’s corruption in Hungary is a huge task after he looted their country for years, and it is certainly something we can watch unfold and learn from.

Trump is reportedly rushing to settle the case—and get taxpayer funds—before a federal judge could potentially throw it out.

if I were the governor of Colorado I would simply not pardon an attempted election thief for no reason whatsoever

President Zelenskyy honored the victims of the russian attack on May 14, expressing condolences to all families who lost their loved ones as a result of russia’s terror.

MacFarlane: And there’s that enormous monumental arch they’re planning that critics say would overshadow Arlington National Cemetery. Some iconography meant to make the president’s legacy stand out in the landscape is not only a major expense, it’s also a potential eyesore.

Can’t wait for the ballroom to be formally re-named “The Rosa Parks & Donald Trump Ebony & Ivory DEI Ballroom”

Ouch. US corporate media normalizes and white washes trump. He doesn't get the same treatment outside the US. youtube.com/watch?v=oRdE...

They should immediately redistrict without a vote since the voting process was apparently the problem. Tennessee and Texas redrew their maps without a vote and those were apparently just fine. What’s good for red states should be good for blue ones.

VA needs to ignore the courts the way the magas do. There is no rule of law anymore.

The Epstein survivors have testified. Now do the entire Epstein regime.

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman throwing things off the Ed Sullivan Theater. Colbert: “Anything you’d like to say, Dave?” Letterman: “In the words of the great Edward R. Murrow to CBS: ‘Good night and good luck, motherfuckers.’”

Private equity is buying up Maine mobile home parks and jacking up the cost of rent, utilities, and fees. I joined some Maine tenants who are organizing to fighting back.

Amazon AMD Axon Boeing Microsoft Nvidia Palantir Just a few of the major corporations and government contractors Trump has bought stock in lately. Many of his trades directly coincided with regulatory decisions his administration made that affected their profits. Insider trader-in-chief.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

JFC 🤦‍♂️

Ben Shapiro's audience is down 70% and his staff is down 13%. The Daily Beans audience is up 26% and our staff is up 50% over the same time period. Yay, facts!!

Does he think cisgender is “six genders”?

The Trump admin is withholding $1.3B in federal Medicaid payments from CA. This is illegal. The administration claims CA failed to combat fraud in the program, but unilaterally cutting Medicaid funding without congressional approval isn’t something the executive branch has the authority to do!

The goal is now to get the Strait of Hormuz open, which it was before Trump unilaterally attacked Iran. Hello? So what will America have gotten out of Trump’s “excursion”? Zilch. Actually, less than zilch because in many ways we are so much worse off than when this madness started.

So we’re paying taxes to reward insurrectionists? A perfect reflection of this era.

He’d been hinting at it for months. I wonder if she’ll get any of that $1.7B slush fund Trump is trying to set up using our taxpayer dollars.

Hegseth is asking for a record $1.5 trillion defense budget. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

Virginia Dems asked for permission instead of forgiveness. A mistake, IMHO.
