“Confidence is 10 percent hard work and 90 percent delusion. Just thinking foolishly that you will be able to do what you want to do”. - Tina Fey Happy Birthday to the brilliant and effortlessly talented Emmy-winning & Grammy/Tony-nominated actress, comedian, producer, and writer.

NEW: A federal court ruled that ICE is no longer allowed to conduct unlawful immigration arrests at NYC courts as our case proceeds. We will continue fighting until this unconstitutional practice is banned for good.

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...

The base of the Democratic Party is steadily becoming more Progressive. The leadership of the Democratic Party is anything but Progressive. If this problem isn't resolved by the next Presidential election, we're gonna witness another disaster. #politics

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

The default assumption should be that anything that this administration says is a lie until proven otherwise. Tяump lies about everything.

In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

I never thought I'd live to see **Jim Cramer** stunned into silence. But here we are.

DraftKings closing their Wrigley sportsbook and blaming Illinois wagering laws is genuinely a huge win for those laws

What happened on the National Mall — a day-long prayer rally billed as a “rededication of our country as One Nation under God” — was a constitutional abomination in layers of blasphemy and demagoguery. It was grotesque. It was appalling and profoundly un-American. open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

Reading the language of legislation to open a Smithsonian Women's History museum, which most House Dems have co-sponsored. "PROHIBITION.—The Museum may not identify, present, describe, or otherwise depict any biological male as a female.” www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

We Are a Democracy! “We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social with @brotherjones.bsky.social in Alabama…

This is the correct way to report it. They dropped the case to AVOID the court reviewing it. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Israel getting upset over a footballer waving a Palestinian flag while the rest of us getting upset over a genocide. They show us every day who and what they are.

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

It’s a Monday: Free Palestine, Death To The IDF, get the zionist colony out of Lebanon

People: it's outrageous that my local council can't fix all the potholes. Also people: I'm driving around in a very heavy SUV, parking on pavements and I want to pay less tax, not more.

An insidious danger lurks within all of this... Why are so many data centers being built across the country? Ask yourself, what data are they collecting? 🤨

Mt St Helens May 18, 1980 I just cannot imagine what seeing this would've been like. The person who took this photo had to abandon their car and escape with the motorcycle. 📸Richard Lasher

SPENCER PRATT HAS SAID THAT HE WILL LEAVE LOS ANGELES IF HE IS NOT ELECTED MAYOR. i think we all know what to do now.

remember when Trump lost in 2020 and there were celebrations all over the world imagine when he fucking dies

Cyber trucks are now available in colors. I like the yellow racing stripes.

Big announcement on March 3. No part of this ever happened.

I hope Dems are really, really vetting candidates so there are no more Fetterman, Manchin or Sinemas... Enough already. Andy Dem who switches party after election should return all donations back to the people.

Remember when Trump said he'd agree to an FBI investigation to get Brett confirmed and then Wray handed over the 4500 tips to Trump and wouldn't interview anyone who corroborated Dr. Ford's story, yet Brett was confirmed? Yeah, it's a rape cult. The bench is a bust.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

“It’s just frustrating to see them come into our community and run all over us like the citizens don’t matter, and then they’re above the law when they do break it,” resident, James Clifton said. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵

Nor SHOULD they be forgiven.

The felon's plan to pay off J6 thugs is not just corruption, it is buying their action to go to the mat for him during & after the Nov election. If Dems win, thugs lose their payday. This isn't to reward them for the past, it's to pay them in advance for future violence.

Time to start razing data centers.

I live in the greatest country in the world. I pay $450 a month for health insurance so I can pay $250 to go to a doctor who prescribes me a medication that I can't afford because it isn't covered by insurance.

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman throwing things off the Ed Sullivan Theater. Colbert: “Anything you’d like to say, Dave?” Letterman: “In the words of the great Edward R. Murrow to CBS: ‘Good night and good luck, motherfuckers.’”

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “Trump is using the entire government as a slush fund. One of the most Unpatriotic & un-American acts I’ve seen in my entire life.” Trump is robbing us blind, with Republicans as accomplices, as the press shrugs. 🤷🏼 (From @meidastouch.com @pabloreports.bsky.social )

#ConservatismIsACancer that infests this planet, metastasizing and killing everything it touches.

Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car Politicians in the US say they have “national security concerns.” In fact, Chinese cars are better and cheaper, and American corporations know they can’t survive market competition. www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-the...

It's a tactic used to con the stupid. And there are none less competent than MAGAts.

Prove me wrong, humans! Prove me wrong.

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥🔥
