New from @ninaburleigh.bsky.social : “Then again, perhaps we should not be shocked that an Andrew Tate would be skulking around with a Paolo Zampolli at a major American confab named after a Wall Street felon.” open.substack.com/pub/american...

"It’s not a 1.8 billion dollar slush fund for traitors. It’s a 1,776 billion dollar slush fund for traitors. The number is meaningful. And its use in this context is nothing short of blasphemy."

BREAKING: Keisha Lance Bottoms wins Democratic primary for Georgia governor. Her Republican challenger will be decided in a runoff election on June 16.

Two more detainee deaths on Rikers Island — both inside of 24 hours. @reuvenblau.bsky.social is so good on the city jails beat - here is his latest reporting in @thecity.nyc www.thecity.nyc/2026/05/19/s...

Absentee ballots are already out; ME primary is June 9. www.costelloforsenate.com

UPDATE: Never mind. It's already public info. From @magdi.bsky.social at the other place:

We’ve all been wronged by the Trump Regime, where’s our money?

Trump endorses Ken Paxson, the totally wild-eyed Texas AG whom the Texas House, dominated by Rs, impeached for bribery, abuse of office, and obstruction (the Senate acquitted) over incumbent John Cornyn. Confirms Texas as most important R primary in country.

There just has to be more of this as the President effectively embezzles money from taxpayers to dole out to his supporters. Top Treasury Lawyer Resigns After Creation of ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/b...

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

If your opponent offers you a "very comfortable, soft chair," bring your own booster seat. Diplomacy isn’t won in the text of the contract; it’s won by whoever has the firmer lumbar support.

The hantavirus is putting on display the extent to which RFKJr and his MAHA team have demolished the public health sector and its rapid reaction capacity in dealing with newly emerging disease. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“250 years later” we’re supposedly staying true to a phrase added to the Pledge in 1954? Stop rewriting history to promote religion. America was founded on liberty and justice for all — not Christian nationalism dressed up as patriotism.

Using the 250 year anniversary to rededicate yourself to an idea added to our pledge in the 1950s lol

seems like jared polis thought this would make him look like an enlightened and humane centrist instead of a dumbass

@jenngriffin.bsky.social @thelolo.bsky.social 🎯

Whether it’s Ken Paxton committing multiple felonies or James Talarico ordering a vegetarian taco, both Texas Senate candidates have troubled pasts.

Do you see why Black people don’t typically vote for Republicans? Because we know they are trying to keep us from having easy access to voting and eliminate representation. It’s not in the interest of our survival to vote for bigots.

Dare I say, @chrisrgibbs.bsky.social & our #GameIsUp team tried to tell them this would happen… …back in 2020? 😢

Do you know who I feel bad for? The people that didn’t vote for Trump. The people whose food prices will skyrocket as Vance & Theil scoop up these farms from bankruptcy through Acre Traders and then squeeze the public with price gouging as they get more wealthy and we get suffocated. #Pinks

Reminder of the time when Randy Fine was caught voting on behalf of other members during a bill outlawing Israel boycotts Randy Fine must be stripped of his American Citizenship and Deported back to Israel

Robert Gates, former US Defense Secretary: "Netanyahu told me in 2009 that Iran's regime was fragile and would crumble at the first attack. I told him he was dead wrong - he was underestimating the resilience of the Iranians." He spent whole career shopping that same lie to every US president-

Ballot initiatives targeting transgender kids in 6 states aren't isolated – they're a coordinated strategy. Now is the time to pay attention, support, and show up. We owe it to the generations of queer youth coming up behind us to fight these initiatives with all we have. https://bit.ly/4dmHkFq

"Court staff joked during the incident, privacy was denied, and legal proceedings continued while Ms. Randazzo endured an active medical emergency." "A child entered the world in a courtroom while their mother was in chains. New Yorkers should be outraged that this happened in our city in 2026."

Also just do not get the “hey we killed a bunch of people using pagers so in an expression of our fondness for you…here’s a pager”??

Go vote, Alabama friends! You'll be glad you did.

Probably should be a bigger deal that the Trump Administration used taxpayer dollars to host a Christian Nationalist event in the nation's capital, but, nah. www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

Canvassing event for Katrina Foley for Supervisor here in Orange County, California. The people are ready to work for this June 2nd election and the midterms next.

Amazing how people think this man is leaving legally or peacefully. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We ALL need to stand up together to fight. Some of us “standing” might be sitting with walkers, etc or fighting other ways, but we can still fight.

72 years ago today in Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court declared that racial segregation is unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. The fight for civil rights & equality continues.

Last sleep before 24 hour live stream starting at noon tomorrow. 😳😳

This smells like blatant & criminal insider trading. Even worse, Trump is profiting off of his illegal deportation dragnet. Since we know Republicans will pretend like they never saw this & won’t do a thing, anyone involved in these trades should preserve records for my investigation in Jan 2027.

TL;DR Kegseth is a murderer

We’ve been doggedly reporting on Palantir’s contracts with UK state…& this latest one with Met police is both creepy & opaque. Met has used Palantir to spy on its own officers. If it can do this to its own employees…what about the rest of us? By @mc00.bsky.social & @luciaoc.bsky.social

Look at this slop job. The only reflecting that should be done here is why 77 million Americans voted for the return of this insane maniac.

A question and the answer.
