Ossoff: "Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money. Trump's rise is a symptom of this deeper disease. Our task is not just to contain his wickedness, but to cure the rot that gave rise to it."

Ossoff: I never want to hear these two pretend they give a damn about working people again. Because while hundreds of thousands of Georgians lose their health care, Mike Collins builds Trump a ballroom. They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever did lowering your grocery bill.

Ossoff: "Mike Collins is a bigot and antisemite under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars, widely known as a man of poor character who lacks the judgment and integrity to serve in the Senate."

“I run the protection program, I’ll protect you,” House Speaker Mike Johnson tells a room packed with members of the Epstein Class. To say this on camera reflects way too much sense of impunity.

I bought this 20 gallon felt planter and ooops it’s a cat toy. #Caturday

The BBC has requested that Donald Trump hand over his phone records from Jan. 6 as part of his defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.

JD Vance made up a horrific and racist lie about a group of people, and now those people will be deported because the Supreme Court refuses to acknowledge, let along regard as disqualifying, the clear racial bias of this administration.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

The worlds top 5 most disliked countries: 1. Israel 2. North Korea 3. Afghanistan 4. Iran 5. U.S. That will be Trump’s legacy.

Ossoff: While the people pay more than ever for groceries and housing and health care, he builds a monument to himself. While a cancer patient loses health coverage, he adorns his office in gold. Where in Scripture are we commanded to deny care to the sick…

If the Reflecting Pool water gets any nastier, RFK Jr. will start bottling it and forcing it to be served to children with all school lunches.

Asking children aged 9 what they think they'll be like when they're 40.

This video appears to confirm it was a Russian air-defense missile — not a Ukrainian drone — that blew up that Moscow refinery’s storage tank today, creating the "flying saucer" footage. (This video was shared on Telegram by Russian military expert Yan Matveev.) t.me/arrowsmap/11...

Not that it was really needed, but we now possess even more direct evidence that there are powerful people inside this government who are jumping on every chance they get to push for the imposition of despotism. And those people aren’t going anywhere.

Hot Pockets. HOT POCKETS. America has gotta have the lamest, most pathetic would-be terrorists on Earth.

President Jimmy Carter putting his peanut farm in a trust to avoid a conflict of interest feels like a long time ago. trib.al/cQ6Fgab

When Trump started his illegal Iran war he laid out his goals: 1. Unconditional surrender of Iran 2. Regime change with new leaders he approves 3. total destruction of Iranian military 4. Helping Iranian people achieve freedom Trump FAILED on every single count!

Elon Musk being a "trillionaire" is just a reminder that every measure of success lauded by our society is complete and utter bullshit On your very worst day, you (yes, even you!) are fundamentally better than that hollow sociopath, that broken, utterly unloved, masturbatory shell of a man

Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID.

The world's first trillionaire did this

imagine drawing a crowd in the middle of the night to watch them remove your name from a building

The only way a lavish and bloody cage match under a monstrous contraption erected on hallowed ground to honor a demented would-be king staggering into his ninth decade could possibly be a more appropriate metaphor for our moment involves lightning.

If there is anyone in the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran who doesn't have The Art of The Deal on their nightstand and who doesn't laugh their balls off every night before drifting into restful sleep, they're just not living their best life.

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Eight crested ibises have been released into the wild in a north-central Japanese town, decades after going extinct in the country.

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Ossoff details "Prince Eric and Prince Don's" corrupt dealings in Kazakstan and says, "here's the bottom line. If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God in front of Congress"

The DNC should sponsor a Kevin Hassett media tour this fall in the lead-up to the midterms:

amazing this is not a skit

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

There's nothing happy about Memorial Day

Trump negotiating with Iran.

"Can we trust the United States?" former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen asks former US defence secretary Mark Esper at #GlobSec2026. "Yes, Europe can trust the US" Esper replies. This is followed by a long silence in the room. "Where's the clap?" Esper asks the audience.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

Try to be this kind of happy today good morning Bluesky

A government of shallow, glib sociopaths striving to get an "Attaboy" from other shallow, glib sociopaths.

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

All the partisan gerrymandering was always (in part) racial gerrymandering, because the parties' politics were always (in part—but large part) about race. So when you tell Southern legislatures "you can do partisan gerrymandering, but no racial gerrymandering," they know it means they can do both.

"Authoritarians don’t need to staff their regimes with ideological true believers, offer extreme enticements or impose draconian punishments.... They just need to figure out how to target their ideal labor pool: the frustrated and mediocre." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/w...

That's no excuse for shenanigans, Steve.
