Today, Blanche got very offended when I called him out for continuing to act like Trump's personal attorney. Now, we learn he quietly signed a deal to bar the IRS from EVER reexamining Trump's, his family's, or his companies' prior taxes. How does this serve the American people?

MURRAY: You are encouraging Americans to go road tripping. How much did you rack up on gas on yours? DUFFY: I don't know, but I know it was not as much as it was under Biden, which was $5 a gallon. It's only $4.50 now MURRAY: Holy cow. Americans don't have corporate sponsors to pay for their gas

Sean Duffy talks over Patty Murray for more than a minute straight as she tries to ask him questions about his 7-month-long road trip

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

In November I broke this story about Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned J6er who molested children and used the promise of reparations to bribe his victims silence.

There should be more screaming about all the corruption. And a corruption-watch/tally/list updated daily. Plus projections on DC federal buildings and airplanes trailing banners. Also Trump in jail.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Breaking: The Trump administration has forever banned the IRS from auditing the taxes of Trump, his family members, and his companies. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

This is absolutely fucking insane. People should be screaming about this. There should be no other news than this and the slush fund created yesterday. It’s a brazen, massive heist and he’s all but admitting it.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

And Jacob Frey keeps giving MPD more money every chance he gets while this is the accountability being offered to the community about it. How do we know it isn’t going right into their pockets?

Ed Martin has made it clear that the whole operation is essentially a bank robbery. The bank is the US Treasury. And the beneficiaries are Trump's entourage and others he things will join a future Trump led insurgency. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Ask yourself: Why would a settlement over leaked tax filings include a prohibition on examinations of previously filed returns? One answer, which lots of people are missing: For years, Trump has been fighting an IRS audit that could have resulted in a $100M bill. No longer, apparently.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Snipers on the roof of the White House. He thinks he’ll barricade himself inside but we’ll drag him out one way or another.

NEW: Sen Michael Bennet (D) says he will not appoint Gov Jared Polis to the Senate if Bennet is elected Governor. Bennet calls Polis' clemency for Tina Peters "disqualifying"

Why some? Why not all? Our freedoms and privacy are being stolen from us by companies and MAGA republicans.

When the Dems sweep the house and senate this fall, SCOTUS will need to get a rude awakening. We can’t allow this corrupt court to continue.

You may have read about the woman who gave birth in a Brooklyn courtroom Friday night while waiting to be arraigned. I spoke to an attorney who saw the whole thing, and says it was much worse than has previously been reported, a scene of "complete violence." hellgatenyc.com/birth-in-bro...

It’s bullshit for the Washington Post to call this looting of the Treasury a “deal“ and an “agreement.” The Trump regime is self-dealing to create an agreement between Trump and Trump, with no judge allowed to weigh in. It’s a dictator stealing from the people.

I’m so furious about how stupid everything is

When I met with BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA a couple of weeks ago, I wish I had asked him to show me his VERY WELL made HOLLYWOOD MASK that he wore to sometimes do press conferences while impersonating "Joe Biden"!! Everyone now knows that. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

"Just today, we learned that there's a $1.776 billion dollar slush fund set up by the government to pay off criminals!"

An American doctor in Congo is among the newly confirmed cases in an outbreak of a rare variant of the Ebola virus with no approved vaccines or therapeutics, Congolese officials said Monday. https://to.pbs.org/3PPGaKK

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

If you're opposed to this explain why.

Breathtakingly corrupt and indefensible theft of taxpayer money. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

Does anyone know where this video is from? Like, the name of the school? I'd love to see a longer video that gives more context.

Other gods? Like Crypto, ballrooms, Putin, golf… those gods?

Oil field wastewater is spreading uncontrollably belowground across Oklahoma. On May 20, join @readfrontier.bsky.social & ProPublica in Tulsa for a documentary screening revealing how state regulators failed to stop the pollution. 📌 RSVP required: https://events.propublica.org/toxic-ground/bluesky

Wheelchair user Julia Feinberg, who has spinal muscular atrophy, lives independently thanks to the 600 hours of help she gets each month to have someone assist with daily tasks. If Gov. Gavin Newsom gets his way, Feinberg risks losing the care that allows her to live an independent life.

When he was a Senator, Lamar Alexander voted against impeachment, for the 2017 Trump tax cut that disproportionately favored the rich, & for "skinny repeal" of the ACA, which would have kicked millions off their health insurance. Now, he has bravely written a memoir. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/xIxx6h8

Here is what I wrote in 2019: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Trump threatened to deploy troops to polling places. NM Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham just signed a law making that a felony. See how she is protecting voters and telling the regime to back off: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/they-cant-...

Few things buttress my faith in humanity like this loathing. The fact that the AI overlords have so miscalculated what we would think and whether it would matter is fun too. A bit like the Trump Administration's miscalculation of how Minneapolis would respond to invasion by a thug army.

A win! The Senate parliamentarian ruled against the $1B provision meant to fund Trump’s White House ballroom in the budget reconciliation package. The funds were struck down for violating the Byrd Rule, which bars “extraneous” non-budgetary provisions from passing through reconciliation.

I see folks like Todd Blanche, Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham on Sunday shows. There's plenty of evidence that they use such platforms to lie constantly. Giving them a megaphone to spread their lies is the opposite of journalism which is about seeking the truth. It's irresponsible & damaging.

The Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday that crews were working to evacuate areas east of East Horseshoe Lake Road and south of County Road 11. The fire was zero percent contained as of Saturday night.

There are not enough recall elections in American politics.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

Good morning! ☕ Today is the Trump administration's all-day prayer festival on the National Mall -- paid for in part by you, and supposedly open to people of all faiths -- featuring religious speakers with known records of smearing Catholics and Muslims. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Ohioans are putting $10 in the gas tank at a time while members of Congress make $635 million trading stocks. You’re pinching every penny while Congress is cashing in. That’s a problem.

This is flying under the radar, but Trump's cronies have started their own organization to plan 250th anniversary events. Not only is their "Freedom 250" receiving taxpayer funds, it's also soliciting big donations from corporations in exchange for face time with Trump. Everything is for sale.
