Ken Paxton is historically corrupt, John Cornyn is a MAGA traffic cone, and Talarico might be a SECRET VEGETARIAN WITH MID TACO ORDERS. Which one has the best case to be elected to the Senate? WHO CAN SAY?

Just absolutely idiotic and people need to start calling out this idiocy. But folks like @jaketapper.bsky.social never will. The man is saying this in a country that has created Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare. Trump is lying as he does on a daily basis.

Trump issues executive orders to promote the fusion industry, he creates an Office of Fusion, prepares to deregulate it, all while Trump Media announces a merger with … you will never guess … a fusion company.

taking tax dollars to pay insurrectionists. which (by the way) the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit: "[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States...."

Good to see: Nearly 100 House Dems just filed papers calling on the judge to throw out the lawsuit that's the basis for Trump's "settlement" creating his new slush fund, arguing that DOJ is colluding with Trump to illegally circumvent Congress:

An ongoing criminal conspiracy, being carried out in broad daylight; a theft so brazen that they have a good chance of getting away with it by sheer chutzpah.

A cabal of cronies, at the order of the president, has just stolen $1.8 billion from the United States. The President has, in essence, shot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue; a crime so blatant none can deny it. What we do next as a nation is up to us.

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

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

"Nearly 60% of those detained have no criminal convictions... 'When it was built in the middle of the Everglades last summer, officials said they needed to put it out there because they were going to house the worst of the worst... Clearly that’s not the case'..." www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/f...

bbc.com/news/article... #PB #USD Jared Polis should be ashamed of himself. All it took was a little pressure fromTrump and a few mean tweets for DEMOCRATIC Gov Polis to grant election data thief and 2020 election denier Tina Peters a commutation of her 9 year prison sentence Polis is a coward

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

Happy 50th Anniversary to my parents

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

NEW: Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) is commuting the sentence of Tina Peters, making her parole eligible next month.

Trump: "Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast foods in the United States all combined. That's a pretty big statement."

Is the Chinese ship coming to America to buy oil going to pass the American hospital ship on its way to Greenland?

COLLINS: You talked a lot about Hunter Biden. Eric Trump is with his dad in China. He does not have a position in the govt. JORDAN: I think it's certainly fine for people to travel with the president COLLINS: Even despite his business ventures? JORDAN: I don't have any issues at all

Trump: "When I explain it to people, all you have to do is say, 'Do you think Iran, they're crazy, should have a nuclear weapon?' Everybody says no. I said, 'Well, then you think I'm doing the right thing.' And I have no choice."

Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote NO. If he voted yes, it would have passed. He isn't even running again. He's just a bad person who wants more people to die and wants a job lobbying for defense contractors. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-i...

Folks, this is why state and local elections matter. If your governor is up for election this year (or next) you MUST #VoteBlue!!!

Chinese citizens are reportedly posting openly critical and mocking comments about Donald Trump during his summit in Beijing. “The U.S. is no longer a country that we look up to. We can now compete with them with confidence and strength.” www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

By this administration?

The DOJ—led by Trump's former personal defense attorney—is reportedly negotiating a $10 billion payout for Trump from the IRS.

OMG the DOJ lawyer just said presidential power has never been "circumcised." He was trying to say "circumscribed."

Just so we're clear: MAGA is "isolationist" in the same way it is "pro-life" and supports free enterprise and free speech. In other words, not.

Democrats need to understand we’re already in a revolutionary moment. The American republic built in the 60s and 70s is being swept away by Republicans and the Supreme Court. It’s up to us to fight for a liberal democratic future. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

And in an earlier post, he was described as the inside choice for Tom Homan -- he of the $50K in the Cava bag.

RFK Jr.’s policy on Hantavirus

BREAKING: RFK, Jr. announces the official US response to the threat of hantavirus: Lick A Mouse.

So fucking embarrassing. Who approved this shit?

SCOTUS has frequently admonished lower courts for intervening too close to elections but is now facing accusations that it is doing exactly that in a way that helps Republicans draw new districts at breakneck speed. “I don’t think you can see this as anything other than a raw exercise of power.”

Never stop pointing out that they told us healthcare and education were too expensive and that taxing the rich is victimizing them. While the Pentagon says the war in Iran cost $29B, analysts are saying it cost at least $72B in the first 60 days. $72B, just gone.

“Trump has made clear that he wants to topple the Cuban govt, saying that he will do whatever he wants with Cuba. In a recent speech in Florida, he said the US would be “taking over almost immediately.” He has peppered his comments with periodic warnings that Cuba’s communist govt was “next.”

It’s no surprise that under Trump people charged with public corruption have been pardoned. He has pardoned embezzlers, people charged with taking bribes and scammers. Trump is the poster child for public corruption, he does it every day. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.npr.org/2026/05/13/g...

OMFG. Racism out in the OPEN. Again. PLEASE ASK YOURSELF: What are you willing to do about it??? (Think of John Lewis, et al.) WHAT ARE YOU **GOING** TO DO ABOUT IT??? PLEASE share. And then please actually DO. IT.

Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.

This is what we call in the trade a catastrophic fuck up.

I read this entire article and could not for the life of me figure out why it was news. They picked a speaker, some students wrote a letter saying they don’t like the speaker. This is the sum total of what happened. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...

New: Miami residents are suing Trump over his planned presidential library, alleging he's been given an illegal benefit. The land for library was valued at tens of millions of dollars. DeSantis and allies handed it over for $10. Trump says he’s planning a hotel there. With @aaronschaffer.com

Quick. Guess the gender of the patient.

This has also been running through my mind -

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

“Energy prices, grocery prices, core inflation, and the CPI are all surging, thanks to Trump’s war in Iran. And he can’t escape responsibility. Why? Because he has repeatedly admitted, on camera, that he foresaw the war’s economic damage and started it anyway.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...

…SHITTIER AND YES IT IS DONALD TRUMP’S FAULT

I know I keep praising this era of The Cincinnati Enquirer but I cannot overemphasize how much, if you picked up the front page every day of this Ohio USA Today network affiliated paper with a longstanding rep for being “conservative,” that the clear, objective message is: EVERYTHING IS GETTING…

1. A network of prominent news outlets, including The Oregonian, The Plain Dealer, The Star-Ledger, have quietly published more than 17,000 articles since 2022 pushing promo codes for sports books and prediction markets Advance Local, which owns these outlets, claims this is journalism.

Fetterman just finds the issue that Dems are most upset about each day, takes the opposite side, then goes on Fox to call it TDS. On the rare occasions he can put two sentences together coherently. Rise, repeat. It’s boring. Tired. Classless. Useless. Like Fetterman.
