JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

Samuel Alito cited erroneous racial voting data in his ruling opinion that effectively ended the Voting Rights Act. So why does it feel like the data was correct?

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Why did Trump pardon drug trafficker and Honduran president Juan Hernández? According to leaked audio tapes, it was an initial payment in part of a agreement between Trump, Bibi, and others to take down Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. english.elpais.com/internationa...

Friday May 8 2026 reminder that not a single Epstein client has been arrested #EPSTEIN #EPSTEINFILES #TRUMPANDEPSTEIN

This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research

A modest wealth tax on just Chip Wilson (racist founder of Lululemon) of 1% would bring in enough revenue to build free housing for 300 people. That's 3000 people in ten years off just one billionaire. And they'd still remain the richest among us

Rudy Giuliani has arrived at the Met Gala. He is dragging an IV drip behind him and oozing from at least one hole. He appears disoriented

This is a real post from the president during a war while gas prices are at a 4-year high and his disapproval is at an all-time high in some polls.

Minnesota Democrats have lodged complaints against two Republican lawmakers over a suspected drunken-driving incident in March. The two were also seen drinking after leaving a committee hearing early.

The nationwide average price for a gallon of regular gas is $4.30. That's up 7¢ from yesterday. Up nearly 30¢ in a week. Up over a dollar in the last year, according to AAA.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

In this clip, Kash Patel says the grand jury heard evidence that Comey deleted the '8647' post and apologized. Neither fact appears in the indictment. Hmm. Did the FBI director just disclose evidence presented before a grand jury?

Americans should not be paying the pensions for members of Congress who leave office in disgrace and violate the public trust. Raise your hand if you agree. ✋

This is so important. The shooter was outside the ballroom, one flight up. Nowhere near Trump.

Just because he didn’t call anyone names for five minutes doesn’t make him unusually conciliatory. He immediately weaponized it to ask for his ballroom and regurgitate conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

FBI Director Kash Patel seen on his phone, just hanging around outside the venue like a random WHCD attendee trying to figure out how to get an Uber after the incident.

It turns out they do know how to make a plane turn around and bring people back when they want to.

Chillingly explicit blood and soil nationalism here

Not only is @apnews.com attending the White House correspondents dinner, they invited one of the Trump staffers who kicked them out of the press pool as their guest. This is all so wrong. apnews.com/article/whit...

“Have you seen the cat, Sam?” “The what now?”

Adam Steen, one of five Republicans running for governor, held a press conference this morning to announce a few of his priorities. I wasn't expecting him to come out for banning Sharia law in Iowa. #IAGov

So to recap: -$160 BILLION+ unconstitutionally collected in tariffs from 🇺🇸 corps, despite Trump saying foreign co’s pay -they pass that cost to us -Now corps collect the💰back… from us?🤔 heads they win, tails we lose!😕🤷🏼 (almost like this was the plan all along)

Defund the hostile domestic troops who wage war against the civilian population of the United States.

NEW: The Commerce Department should be prevented from using funds collected through Trump’s Gold Card program to sidestep carefully negotiated controls on spending. CREW's proposed bill and report language will help ensure that Congress can conduct proper oversight.

Irony just choked to death on a clam strip.

British journalism. Best in the world.

Oh.

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.” The most corrupt regime ever.

Happy 80th birthday, Tim Curry.

Longtime readers know I'm not prone to excessive optimism about Iowa elections. But I do believe @sarahforiowa.bsky.social would win #IA03 if the election were held today. And if I were Zach Nunn, I wouldn't want to campaign with Trump or Vance. laurabelin.substack.com/p/zach-nunn-...
