POTUS has a dentist on call 24/7. This is another weird disappearance around the first of the month for Trump.

Nice work, @insidehighered.com This is a perfect headline & lede.

Recently, I binge watched Person Of Interest from 10 years ago. It predicted where we are today with a lunatic using AI to influence America. Last night, this lunatic posted this AI influenced photo (he is old and not skinny). IF YOU THINK THIS IS NORMAL, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

The mask is already off their "going after the worst of the worst" claims, but this is a new level of inhumane. Their lies are endless, & to invoke "safety & wellness checks" wrt to this crap is especially insulting, coming from AHs who currently have so many kids trapped in miserable conditions.

NEW: Trump aides declared an emergency to bypass Congress to sell arms valued at $8.6 billion to Israel and Arab nations. That means less weapons for the US since munitions take years to make. Pentagon officials are alarmed at low supplies and war risks. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/w...

Right now, Americans need to make peace with the fact that the news will continue to be bad. We are going to witness an ever more desperate and violent descent into the depths of the malevolence that broken human beings are capable of... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/stop-being...

Because he's an idiot:

ICE has awarded a contract to a private security company that has faced accusations of “torture” and “enforced disappearance” to assist in tracking down undocumented immigrant children who arrived in the US alone, a contracting document shows.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

45-year-old Guido Reichstadter climbed to the top of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Washington DC to protest Trump's war of choice against Iran. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Vivek Ramaswamy in 2020 suggested a registry to segregate the population based on vaccine status. "Could we tolerate a national system in which certain people on the basis of a biomarker are segregated to say, you can't go back to normal life?...I personally think that it is better."

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The ignorance of the people who vote for these criminals is why we are where we are. Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

The stock market isn't a barometer of economic health. It's a scoreboard for how well corporations capture subsidies, Fed backstops, and borrowed money, then recycle it into share prices. Dow up? Machine's working. Not you. #UNFTR for @meidastouch.com. Watch the full video: youtu.be/mwP1SvX-vc0

Just hours after the Roberts Court legalized stripping Black Americans of representation, Alabama moves to do just that, repeating a pattern begun in 2013 with Shelby County v Holder. Within a day of that decision, Texas & North Carolina advanced broad spectrum vote suppression bills.

The Saudi sovereign wealth fund's reported decision to end funding for LIV Golf after this season places the lucrative golf tour in serious jeopardy of dissolving four years after it launched as a competitor to the PGA Tour.

BURGUM: Understand -- there are times in North Dakota when the wind does not blow and the sun doesn't shine KING: Of course. That's where batteries come in

Oh, look what I saw on the beach!

IN HONOR OF CALIFORNIA’S 175TH ANNIVERSARY, WE WILL BE ROLLING OUT A VERY SPECIAL DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR EVERY CALIFORNIAN THIS SUMMER!

King Charles: I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing. I'm sorry to say that we British of course made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.

CHRIS MURPHY: You fired half the department! LINDA McMAHON: That's hindsight MURPHY: What does that mean?

@babybluetx.bsky.social was recruited to join Turning Point USA as an impressionable young woman. She was just looking for a place to belong & with her conservative Texas roots, it made sense. She exposes the tactics used to target young people to be "conservative." youtu.be/bB5slbyujII?...

The MAGA regime has now lost 6 times in their efforts to corruptly gain access to Arizona’s state voter files after a MAGA appointed federal judge blocked them. A loss for fascism and a win for democracy. Much more of this. 💙👊

The judge who will resentence Tina Peters rejected her motion to step aside on the case. Peters is expected to appeal. Also, the Colorado Court of Appeals denied Peters' attempt at a re-hearing on her largely rejected claims.

King Charles is disgusting for actually wanting to visit and spend time with a repugnant psychopath criminal. Stop normalizing it as politics as usual, there’s nothing normal about it.

Someone ran past a metal detector and was stopped. A floor above the dinner. It was terrible it happened, and i have not seen a SINGLE PERSON in office say otherwise But they are milking all of this for all its worth. Playing themselves all to be victims all the time. It’s exhausting

Melania should be deported over her comments on Kimmel. I expect a Dem administration to right this wrong.

"Small wonder that Clarence Thomas prefers the Gilded Age over the Progressive Era," writes @rbreich.bsky.social. "He’s the living embodiment of the Gilded Age’s public-be-damned excesses."

Another reminder that NO LIBERAL has called Trump anything worse than HIS OWN VICE PRESIDENT. @andertoon.bsky.social

KIMMEL: “You know how sometimes you wake up and the First Lady demands you be fired? We’ve all been there, right? — I agree hateful, violent rhetoric is something we should reject… a great place to start to dial that back would be to talk to your husband.”

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.
