Let's talk about Trump's plan to create a nationalized mail-in voter database to mess with the midterms. It's unconstitutional, unworkable, designed to fail. Here's a quick explainer from me. If you find this helpful, can you give it a like and a share?

Reuters: U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BACKS RESOLUTION CURBING TRUMP'S IRAN WAR POWERS

Kaitlan Collins doesn’t need to smile for Trump. Nobody does.

No Thug Fund. No DoJ “settlements” to rioters and other henchmen. No free pass to fraud from the IRS.

This is a good reminder we need to be watching ALL the settlements/payouts Trump may make thru DoJ.

Russ Vought is trying to steal spending power again. The Trump Admin is making up a new "rule" so they can revoke federal grants whenever they want for whatever reason. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

Never going to stop being weird that Trump's enablers created a custom social media platform so he can spend every night rage-posting his worst thoughts. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Also—the get out of jail pass from the IRS Trump attached to the Thug Fund needs to be gonezo, too. No reshaping, or constraints. Gone.

Who wants to talk about some good things that are happening? From me. If you like this, would you share?

We are not usually so fortunate to see people proved so wrong, so quickly.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

Trump's face on a new $250 bill? Sort of interesting as an inflation symbol but no. archive.ph/E93t3

New: Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio said he's in "a lot of group chats" with "the J6 community" & "a lot of them want to use this money to start some type of political act," like "run for office" Tarrio also thought many would "spend their money on firearms." www.mediamatters.org/january-6-in...

Paxton blew out Cornyn by 28 points. And, the dividing line in the race, and what caused Trump to get behind Paxton, is that Cornyn refused to blow up the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act. That's what, arguably, cost Cornyn his career. Huge implications for 26 and 28.

And now Cornyn will support Paxton as the nom bc, apparently, the thought of retiring & living like a normal person, sans cushy lobbying gigs or whatever, is not fathomable. Again. When you tell people to support a felon for the past 10 years don’t be surprised when they choose Paxton over you.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says he is drawing up plans to stop international flights from landing in Democrat-run “sanctuary cities” just two weeks before the World Cup.

I guess it's bad when a party conditions people to vote for a felon, huh?

It's not a one-off, it's not a joke. It's a deliberate, sustained messaging effort to lay the groundwork to mess with the midterms. MAGA falsely claims "fraud" from 2020 is a reason to take over elections they risk losing in 2026. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Please read. Drowning doesn’t look like drowning. People die, all the time, in crowded areas surrounded by people who miss the signs.

JUST IN: A day after the collapse of the "Broadview Six" case, attorneys for the former defendants have filed an emergency motion seeking preservation of U.S. attorney's office emails and texts about the case. A motion for sanctions will undoubtedly be filed down the road

When it comes to confirming the next DNI to replace Tulsi Gabbard, how about one basic requirement.... NO ELECTION DENIERS We know Trump wants a DNI who will manufacture conspiracies so he can take over ballots and polls in places like Fulton County. YOLO Gang led by Tillis, Cassidy, etc?

It’s worth noting Trump’s utterly TANKING in the polls after getting mostly everything he wants policy wise. The Iran War, the ICE raids, the shakedowns, the DOGE, the pardons, etc. He can’t blame his failings on the deep state this time. He got Project 2025 & it’s a disaster. Autocracy sucks.

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s election-security czar last year sought to ban voting machines used in more than half of U.S. states by asking whether the Commerce Department could declare their components national-security risks www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

More good news!

Hello. www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/p...

Got all my rants out with Tim today! Enjoy? But on a serious note, pls note our talk about Trump's post-presidency autocratic entrepreneurship. By that, I mean to his ideas to retain influence, be forever immune from crimes, and keep the corruption flowing. www.thebulwark.com/p/amanda-car...

Senate Rs are bailing out of Washington till June hoping the fury will die down. No. Them going home just means Trump's BunkerBallroom, Thug Fund, and Iran continue on autopilot. Can't let up on these things.

Uh, that sounds like a win-win

The thug fund does belong to Donald Trump, but it's so toxic that, perhaps, Trump will dump ACTING AG Todd Blanche over it and move on. I'd take that as a win.

I’m not trying to blow smoke up anyone’s behind but there is some decent oppo to Trump happening on the Hill. No SAVE Act, ballroom plummeting, Iran War vote, not firing the parliamentarian, and growing, visceral oppo to Trump’s henchmen bailout.

LOTS of new reporting here GOP is turning against the Trump $1.7 billion fund for convicted crooks and cop-beaters youtu.be/c58Qoc6YYbw?...

House Republicans aren’t keen on Trump $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of $$ for convicted crooks Rep Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): “We’re gonna kill it” Rep David Schweikert (R-AZ): “I have big concerns about it” Rep Don Bacon (R-NE): How did President negotiate with himself?

I suppose you could dismiss this as he will just generally be around but seems like a choice to forecast himself being “here” in specific four-year increments. Just a coinky-dink. Sure.

Let’s get this right. Trump’s tax returns were leaked. The leaker was prosecuted. Trump became president again (harm?) and is now pretending the leak entitles him to a free pass for tax fraud & $1.7 BILLION to pay off his henchmen. THAT IS NOT A SETTLEMENT OR A "DEAL." It’s regime-style plunder.

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

She wasn't even targeted by the federal government! Come on, man.

Oh.

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

Today, Protect Democracy and co-counsel filed a motion for summary judgment on behalf of @commoncause.org in our suit against the DOJ's unlawful attempts to create a national voter surveillance tool and demands for states to revoke voters’ registrations. Learn more: https://protdem.org/4tP4hXP

But wait! It gets worse! DoJ says: IRS is “forever barred and precluded” from pursuing “examinations” of Trump, “related or affiliated individuals,” and related trusts and businesses. This applies to all tax returns filed before…Monday of this week. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Don’t call it a slush fund. It’s a Riot Reward Program.

Wonder how much his slush fund payout is gonna be.

Friends, I can’t believe it. I’ve been nominated to receive a Trump Freedom Medal because I am just exactly like him. That’s what they told me in this email . How quickly should I accept this honor and give them my credit card info to pay the very small shipping fee for this prestigious medal.

Audit the White House. There it is. My free idea for a very easy-to-understand effort for the next few years. Take it!

I think Jim is trying to say “This is bad.”

“The leader knows that people are going to be more likely to be loyal if they don’t have many other career options, so when I say losers, I kind of mean it literally,” she said. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/w...

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Among the list of reforms for the next administration, we must include ending the cult of personality. Public servants should be expected to do their jobs without name-brand swag. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Dangling prosecutions is not justice, it is mob-style leverage. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/u...

“Throughout the talk, one student projected a photo of Epstein on their laptop — positioning it within view of the camera on the Zoom call — in protest of Karp’s appearance….there were ‘no limits on questions save for questions involving his interactions with Epstein…’”
