JUST IN: Martina McBride announces she will NOT perform at the Trump Freedom 250 event, saying she was misled — echoing claims made by several other artists who were listed as participants.

At least Trump has Vanilla Ice 100% locked in.

Peter Thiel has had his hands in so much fuckery to destroy the United States that it's no surprise he's bailing out. Our government is full of Palantir employees but he's trying to get beyond extradition reach in Argentina. Leaving his stink behind and dodging responsibility. 1/

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

ANOTHER federal legal challenge against Trump $1.7 billion slush fund @muellershewrote.com has filed 12-pg argument in US District Court in California that says - among other things -- Trump Admin failed to undertake necessary "notice-&-comment rulemaking" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

this whole company reeks of sad desperation

Every time Trump's failures catch up to him, he falls back on the same tired racism and bigotry. We all know who enables fraud and corruption. Just a few of Trump’s pardons: •Philip Esformes — $1.3B Medicare fraud • Lawrence Duran — $205M Medicare fraud • Jason Galanis — $60M fraud

Afghanistan's Taliban published a law that interprets a girl's silence at puberty as consent to marriage. A human rights catastrophe. The Taliban invokes Islam to justify this. That conflation is false, and devastating. Child marriage is a global crisis. The US has its own reckoning to face.

CBS made it official today and fired Sharyn Alfonsi. This is after Alfonsi revealed that the network and Bari Weiss hadn't responded to her for months as her contract expired. It's also after Alfonsi was cheered at last night's Emmys, while Bari was called out by a kid for destroying the network.

Currently the US government is a massive market manipulation scheme.

The bottom line is that there will never be any meaningful congressional oversight or investigations into the blatant corruption of the Trump family enriching themselves as long as Republicans are in control. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

This is really infuriating.

this is incredible

👀 @gavinnewsom.bsky.social says California is taxing Trump’s sedition payments 100%

Not this Time

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

Wowsa.

David has many very good posts, but his best posts are carbon removal political economy posts, yet somehow they never get the RTs they deserve

Such a horrible little chud

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Pro-voting plaintiffs in the case have appealed the decision to the state court of appeals. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “The South Carolina Senate on Tuesday rejected Trump’s push to redraw the state’s congressional district in hopes Republicans could gain an additional seat in the midterm elections.” Making Tennessee Republicans look even more extreme. www.wyff4.com/article/sout...

We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

Our government is for sale to the highest bidders at home and abroad. The US government is an active, ongoing, organized criminal enterprise. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

A NEW TWIST in Africa's soaring solar story: It's now manufacturing its own panels. The factories use imported Chinese cells, which are 40% of the value of panels, keeping much of the value domestically. 9 GW of cells+wafers in Mar/Apr alone🧵

Today on Volts: as affluent homeowners switch to heat pumps, the fixed costs of the fossil-gas network are born by a shrinking class of consumers who can least afford it. Today I talk with folks from @buildingdecarb.org about how to phase out gas in a thoughtful, equitable way, one chunk at a time.

First, cases were dismissed for misconduct in Wyoming, and now, Chicago. Are these federal prosecutors poorly trained or do they just not care about following the rules anymore? Do better, DOJ. www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/u...

“Spraying glyphosate in such an environmentally sensitive and pristine place is ludicrous.”

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

Witkoff keeps going to Russia, never goes to Ukraine. As Trump does what Putin wants constantly. Why is @CaolanReports the only one asking about his business interests?

Ex Trump White House Attorney Ty Cobb on Trump’s $1.776 BILLION Seditionist Slush Fund: “Todd Blanche sold his soul… this is really just a criminal conspiracy to steal money from the taxpayers."

The only surprise here is that it took this long.

If you are waiting for huge corporations to pass along the tariff refunds they are about to get from the government to consumers who bought tariffed products, you haven’t been paying much attention to the way things work in this country.

This is what happens when Trump finds the only person dumber than Kristi Noem to be her replacement.

Phasing out HFCs worldwide could avert up to 0.5°C of global warming by the end of the century, so naturally the Trump regime is delaying their planned phase out. 🎁🔗

Expect the third Trump war of the year to start any time soon.

This precedent could also be applied to government officials who blow people up in boats without a declared war, due process, evidence, or trial.

This is so embarrassing

😬

WATCH - @rokhanna.bsky.social on Massie’s loss: “The lesson is people who are against the Epstein class and against this war don’t have a place in the Trump coalition.” Massie won young Republican voters who think the system is unfair by 45% but still lost.
