Today the EPA proposed repealing limits on multiple types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. If finalized, the Trump administration proposal would end drinking water limits for four toxic PFAS. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

For the low price of $1.8 billion, you too can have an army of repeat offenders.

This slush fund is just for one man: "The department said the fund will stop processing claims on Dec. 15, 2028, just over a month before whoever wins the next presidential election would be inaugurated."

kleptocracy

the leopards are too full to laugh "Florida has spent more than $1 million a day to run the facility, and DeSantis has said he expects reimbursement from the federal government. The state has not yet received $608 million it has requested." www.wivb.com/news/u-s-hea...

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

The grimly hilarious part is that Trump thinks he can control his legacy this way

what are we doing here??

Trump couldn’t be bothered to attend. He sent a video. But he couldn’t be bothered to record a new one so they sent an old video he recorded for a previous event.

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

My fu money indulgence would be to pay some an outrageous salary to put on freshly laundered sheets on my bed each night

Worst part: he's maybe the least-bad Trump pick because he's in the traditional 'regulatory capture / nepotism' mold of bad GOP picks. He's a lawyer (Jones Day) for the businesses he's supposed to regulate and a buddy of Don Jr, but maybe not a eugenicist who wants people to die like RFK Jr.

The practice of law is one of the least diverse in the country and the organization that claims to be its guardian is going to comply in advance and bend the knee to a white supremacist fascist administration dismantling the rule of law.

This is a stain on the legal profession that will not wash out. Decades from now, when we look back on this time, we will remember how the ABA collaborated with fascism.

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!

In 2022, Peter Thiel bought a Senate seat for JD Vance with $15 million in campaign expenditures—a pittance for a man whose net worth has increased by about $12 million a day. This year, a handful of cryptocurrency billionaires may be on the verge of helping to secure one in Alabama for even less.

Trump can't even do gaslighting right his reasoning is more like, "The planes crashed because there wasn't pollution to keep them stuck in the air because the air was too thin. It needs to be thicker. The smog is what keeps them safe" abject stupidity

but "the oil goes up" should be in ads every Dem puts out immediately

One man's greed might be diabolical; A second man might be a dunce; One might lie so much, it's pathological; And some might be all 3 at once.

I know it shouldn’t surprise me, but watching the other panelists just smugly waive away Trump’s brazen fraud after years of ranting about Hunter Biden is something to behold. Not an ounce of shame or principle in their entire being.

Next is live tonight from Mesa County, where Tina Peters’ crimes had a financial and reputational cost to the community. DA Dan Rubinstein (R) tells me that Polis’ decision is “out of touch with Western Colorado” and indicates he doesn’t understand the impact of Peters’ crimes.

Polis had said that remorse was a precondition for clemency. Peters has been famously defiant and unapologetic for leading a breach of Colorado’s voting systems. But Polis tells me Peters said she’s sorry her clemency application. www.9news.com/article/news... www.9news.com/article/news...

Genuinely the stupidest possible move, all this will do is further embolden Trump to run the same election denial playbook in 2026 and 2028 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

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.

What’s the point of electing democrats who do shit like this

This fucking idiot

Tina Peters is a criminal who attempted to suborn an American election. Jared Polis did not need to give her clemency, and there was no good reason to do so. A disaster. www.npr.org/2026/05/15/n...

I genuinely hate Polis

we are such a shithole country right now

No reporter will ever challenge trump on this because it fights their reality that he’s operating on another level to which mortals can only aspire

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

Donald Trump is going to settle his own lawsuit against the federal government, granting himself billions of our taxpayer money. It is just straight up fucking theft. If you think he really has a case, it can be settled by the next administration.
