Imagine another country forcing a political app onto every government worker’s phone. We’d call it authoritarian. Here, it’s rolling out with barely a whisper. Control doesn’t always silence you. Sometimes it just floods you with one voice.

Trump regrets he can't attend Don Jr.'s wedding due to pressing matters of state. Those matters have included: an AI golden dome, a Photoshopped image of himself looming over Greenland, and a video of himself throwing Stephen Colbert into a dumpster. The president is very busy, very presidential.

This headline is hilarious when you learn that the rocket toppled over in a fiery explosion on landing

if you cowardly try to sacrifice your friend, NPS will simply send a second bear

FETTERMAN CONFRONTED: “I’m a breast cancer survivor, I had a double mastectomy, and the Trump administration took my health care away… And you’re standing with him.” Fetterman can barely talk. Painful to watch as usual.

Trump can’t remember when he was president.

Oh my God... Stephen Colbert did an hour-long program on Michigan public access last night with sidekick Jack White and guest Jeff Daniels...

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

Props to the State Legislature on passing legislation that provides significant new protections for New Yorkers from ICE. (1/4)

Amazing work SC! South Carolina’s Republican-dominated Senate blocked a procedural move that would have fast-tracked a vote on a new congressional map stripping the state of its only majority-Black district.

They showed this version in schools for maybe 15 years and literally no one in my class had any reaction to a black woman being in it, someone yesterday said Eartha Kitt was Helen of Troy in 1950 and I looked it up and it was Orson Welles who cast her because she was a cabaret dancer and was hot!

Another day, another Russian “invincible’” Shahed-136 drone turning into a very expensive fireball over central Ukraine. Ukrainian air defense shows how it’s done, boys! #SlavaUkraïni 🇺🇦

NEW: Colorado’s League of Women Voters has withdrawn a planned “Leader of Democracy” Award for Gov Jared Polis after he gave clemency to Tina Peters.

What's so irritating to me is how quickly this "man of the cloth" changes his tone after being caught live disparaging his server, a human being doing her job only to be put down by yet another white male with erectile dysfunction attitude.

I'll always be proud to stand with Ohio's family farmers (and farm dogs).

I like that my feed right now is 100% lawyers going “legal expert here, judges only talk like this when they’re feeling a white-hot rage powerful enough to swallow a medium-size metropolitan area.”

@jimacosta.bsky.social just submitted his online claim to the #TrumpSlushFund alleging that Trump and his corrupt administration have continually weaponized the federal government against him, his family, and his work. It’s meant facetiously, but he’s not wrong. #truestory #JimAcosta

Hi Todd, I would like to apply for the anti-weaponization fund. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Pat Ryan goes off on House Republicans pulling the War Powers vote, calling them “Chickenhawk motherfuckers.”

SENATOR @gallego.senate.gov : “This guy, and this guy, and this guy could potentially get payouts from the federal government — for assaulting these police officers. So much for backing the blue.” #SeditionSlushFund #TrumpHeist

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

Chicago’s top federal prosecutor Thursday dropped the case against the remaining “Broadview Six” defendants in a stunning hearing that revealed apparent misconduct before a grand jury — of which he said he recently learned. Quick take via @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

No one believes that the insurance company knows more about your health care than your doctors. Yet, they take your premiums every month and then refuse to cover the care your doctors say you need. That’s wrong. Let’s ban them from denying the care you need.

wow -- Durbin grills Bhattacharya and gets him to contradict Trump's line on vaping "Kids having more access to vaping does not make sense to me," Bhattacharya acknowledges

This story is officially bananas. “But then his appearances scheduled for late May were canceled, and his chief of staff, Dan Scharfenberger, made the intriguing comment to The New York Times that “there’s no cameras where Tom is.”

Bezos told CNBC there is "way too much corporate welfare, way too much corporate subsidies" the Trump admin literally JUST redirected billions in infrastructure bill taxpayer subsidies to his LEO satellite broadband company for service he ALREADY PLANNED TO DEPLOY shameless fuck

⚠️ Republicans’ choice for Pennsylvania governor this November has not only repeated falsehoods about Trump winning the 2020 election, but is willing to do Trump’s anti-voter bidding. As a swing state, Pennsylvania plays a big role in Trump’s quest to take control of elections.

Stephen Colbert is an outstanding television host (who employs an amazing staff) and it's a real drag that The Late Show is ending because some business overlords needed to give the president sweet little forehead kisses so he would bless their insatiable greed.

Good morning, Russia! ☀️ Some plucky drone dropped by for a visit, and now the Syzran oil refinery in Samara is putting on a spectacular black-smoke fireworks show. This is visit #9. They should just install a revolving door and a punch card. “Ten strikes and your next refinery upgrade is free!” 🤣

Hey Donnie! You will *never* be as loved by the nation as this man. Never.
