Your tax dollars just paid a French oil company to stop building American electricity, and the gas it’s being replaced with is getting shipped overseas to Europe and Asia. The Trump Administration is PAYING to kill projects that would have lowered your costs.

The $1 billion Republicans are proposing for the Epstein Memorial Ballroom could pay over 6,000 air traffic controllers for a year.

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.

This clemency grant to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country. The Governor’s actions today will validate and embolden the election denial movement, and leave a dark, dangerous imprint on American democracy for years to come.

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Shilling useless medical advice and products on TV is fraud. Just saying...

I used to just ignore and block the AI hucksters. I'm replying now.

New from me: Five years ago, I criticized a San Francisco TV reporter for getting her facts wrong. Ever since, she and her allies have alleged that I was part of a conspiracy to end her career. That narrative just got a boost with her new book, which is being promoted by some powerful tech people.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

Oh, okay. 👌

Everyone should read this.... AI and key words were used to cancel NIH and NSF grants...essentially on the whims of some DOGE folks on a power trip. The damage done to our once globally leading science enterprise is widespread...we need to speak out on this for it to get better. 🧪🌎

Apparently, one of the benefits of flying on Air Force One is that no one checks your carry-on for drugs.

Trump said that repairs to the DC Reflecting pool would cost $1.8 Million. Now? The price tag is $13.1 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract for the project after previously working on pools at Trump's properties. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

It is somewhat surprising to me that many Americans do not grasp that if the Chinese Govt is allowing this to happen, they want the world to know how little respect they have for 🍊💩

New book by Warren Throckmorton is timely! ‘The Christian Past that Wasn’t’ challenges the myths that are the basis for Trump’s Freedom 250 Christian nationalist Rededicate event on Sunday

The dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is associated with measurable increases in Africa, especially in areas most dependent on the agency’s support.

In 1995, 14 wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.

Alas, by an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court also clears the way for Texas to execute an intellectually disabled man in violation of the 8th Amendment. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

1. In a scathing ruling, a Trump-appointed federal judge found that Trump's Department of Justice misled courts to try and obtain private data on trans people from hospitals. She called the DOJ "at best, deceptive, if not intentionally and knowingly false." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Federal and state agents in Memphis have retaliated against observers recording their actions by arresting them, boxing them in with vehicles, following them home, pulling them over, shining flashlights in their eyes, and more. That's not how the First Amendment works. We're suing.

Do not stop talking about what these animals did to these children. The President of the United States and his friends belong in prison. #EpsteinFiles #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

They all live in donald's rectum.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has proposed a special fund for officers injured and traumatized on January 6. More than 150 officers were wounded defending the Capitol. Democrats say if taxpayer money can go to January 6 settlements, it should also support the officers who protected democracy.

What better way to illustrate the revolutionary nature of America's democratic government than to have the power mad president abuse his pardon power like a monarch?

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

I saw these headlines and thought "oh well some jerk wrote a form letter to a kid's letter that's dumb" but no it appears that one of the worst people in Congress took time out of her day to talk shit to a 10 y/o and tell him he should be more worried about debt and school propaganda than climate

🚨BREAKING: South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) is expected to call lawmakers back for a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map and eliminate its lone majority-Black district. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

SCOTUS in 2022: Five months before Election Day is too late for Louisiana to redraw its GOP House map that harms Black voters. It must wait until 2024. SCOTUS in 2026: Louisiana may cancel its imminent primary—where >40,000 already voted—to enact basically the same old map that harms Black voters

The largest ever settlement or jury award for government violations of constitutional rights to a single person is $100 million, or 1 percent of what Trump demanding for the leak of his tax returns. That case -- a killing by police -- was reduced to $1 million on appeal.

Roza was recruited from Uzbekistan with promises of a modeling career. Instead, Epstein raped her for years & used her visa to keep her from escaping. He should have been behind bars. Alex Acosta’s sweetheart deal kept him free to continue abusing women and girls like Roza.

Last Friday, I went w/ my best friend to an ICE detention facility to say goodbye to her husband. After 11 months detained, he was deported to a country he hadn’t lived in for 20 years. A 4-year-old said goodbye to his father. One of many families living this nightmare. Cruelty disguised as policy.

Louisiana Senate committee passed new gerrymander eliminating majority-Black district at 4:30 AM last night. Democracy quite literally dying in darkness lailluminator.com/2026/05/13/l...

"Multiple others were recruited from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, allegedly during the many years of friendship between the now-president and Epstein." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Do you like heavy metal? Not 🎸🤘🎵🎧 but💧🚱🌡 Then you'll love the Trump administration! Do they have a plan for you! And it includes heavy metals from coal ash — such as arsenic and mercury — seeping into the ground and YOUR drinking water. Cheers!🍻 grist.org/regulation/t...

What has me worried — what we all need to focus on — is that something important in our democracy broke last week, and we are only beginning to see the fallout. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

🚨BIG NEWS: Governor Gavin Newsom is protecting Californians from Trump’s decision to strip Obamacare funding. His revised budget this week will include $300 million to keep $0 health plans available for lower-income Californians on Affordable Care Act plans.

MAGA Rep Jen Kiggans (R-VA) agreeing with this radio host that Leader Jeffries (D-NY) needs to get his cotton-picking hands off of Virginia, tells you everything you need to know about the Republican Party. #JimCrowJen needs to resign or lose her seat in November. VILE‼️‼️

The Republican Party is a party that deeply, deeply, deeply hates children.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is once again able to walk out of court and return to his family. Federal Judge Xinis’ protections remain in place for Kilmar. This victory is thanks to the power of community organizing and all of you who have stood up for justice. #Fight4Kilmar

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

There is a very transparent PR campaign trying to make Marco Rubio seem cool and relatable. It’s important to remember he’s actually a fascist piece of shit with the charisma of an odorless bar of soap.

🚨HOLY SHIT: MAGA Congresswoman Jen Kiggans tried to COLLUDE with a radio station host to DELETE an interview where she agreed to tell Hakeem Jeffries to keep his “cotton-picking hands” off Virginia. Share this EVERYWHERE to to keep her racism from being buried. #JimCrowJen

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

When your home is destroyed and you're living in a tent, it's a daily fight to feed your family. That's why WCK is still in Gaza. Still cooking. Still showing up every day for the families who are counting on us. #ChefsForGaza (1/3)
