Minnesota's "Hennepin County Attorney’s Office issued a nationwide arrest warrant on Monday for the ICE agent who allegedly shot a Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge and then lied about the circumstances that led to the shooting."

The phrase “drain the swamp” will go down in history as a bitter irony; nobody in Washington, now or ever, has been such a swamp creature. @monacharen.bsky.social on the latest in Trump's corruption:

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

“.. We spotted nine Polymarket accounts .. who made collectively $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. Military operations. .. “.. Now, here is the crazy part. 98% win rates.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/6...

checking in for a brief moment on the Rededicate 250 blasphemy fest and yep, it's beyond parody

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South & let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

I love and respect this scientist. Carl Sagan answers a question about creation vs evolution.

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.

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

Everyone said Trump was manipulating the stock market for personal gain. Turns out you were right. New financial disclosure forms released today by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics show Trump made at least $220 million (and potentially up to $750 million)

Maybe a dumb question, but can DOJ just fork over $1.7 bn dollars to a slush fund without congress appropriating that money? Maybe it's already appropriated for some other purpose? Geninely not clear to me how they actually do it.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

BREAKING The Tr*mp DOJ will drop federal criminal fraud charges against an Indian billionaire after he hired one of Trump's personal lawyers and told the DOJ he would invest $10 billion in the American economy. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/n...

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Judge Orders U.S. to Return Colombian Woman Deported to Congo The unusual ruling came after the judge found that the Trump administration had most likely violated the law by deporting the 55-year-old woman to the African country despite its refusal to take her.

MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year? BURGUM: Intermittent or base load? M: 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW. B: But only when the sun is shining M: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year - less than 10% of China. You're harming our natl security

Enjoyable quote from @danpfeiffer.bsky.social Nail. Head. open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

The Trump regime actually let two guys with zero government experience use ChatGPT to cancel $100M in grants—including Holocaust education. A federal judge just humiliated them, called it unconstitutional, and reversed every single cut. Read how she did it: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/a-federal-...

This President deserves to be called out. Every time. We can never let him off the hook. Ever. I’ll never be afraid to say it like it is.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Q: "What's your message to farmers struggling with the rising costs of ethanol, gas and fertilizer as this war continues?" Rollins: "Fertilizer, obviously, has been an issue. The positive news on fertilizer is America has enough…The challenge comes, obviously, with the price."

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

Ansari: Lutnick was also asked about the fact that he had said he believed Epstein would blackmail people. He said that he no longer believes that. And then, when pressed on why that is, he said it’s because he spoke with administration officials.

NEWS: Virginia Dems have filed a motion asking the Supreme Court of Virginia to delay issuing its mandate striking down the congressional redistricting referendum. The filing states the Commonwealth intends to file an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court of seeking review of the decision.

“We’ve seen them overplaying their hand,” the sociologist Brooke Harrington says. “They’re pillaging American cultural institutions. They’re pillaging democracy.” www.newyorker.com/podcast/poli...

Trump would become the first and only president with an airport named after him who has trademarked his own name in this manner. trib.al/R3XbpUt

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

A win! A panel of federal judges ruled that Trump had violated the law when he imposed a 10 percent tariff on most U.S. imports. This is the second time courts have struck down his broad tariff agenda this year.

Good. More evidence that Trump's enablers are cracking.

They’re still working on it. Two weeks.

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

War is peace

It happened again. The most corrupt administration in history.

Looks like MBS and Trump broke up. Seems like it started back when the Saudis pulled out of LIV Golf. Now I’m curious what happens with the Saudi’s $2B investment in Kushner. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

BREAKING: The FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, according to Fox News, who was conveniently on the scene. 1/4

MS NOW Exclusive: The FBI has launched a criminal leak investigation focusing on Atlantic magazine journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick, who wrote that deeply unflattering account of Kash Patel's work habits. There is deep concern about this approach among some of the FBI agents.

EXCLUSIVE: My latest story for @theatlantic.com : www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

🚨🚨 A new report from The New York Times reveals FDA officials blocked publication of taxpayer-funded studies showing COVID-19 and shingles vaccines are SAFE, with serious side effects extremely rare. Health experts are calling this an act of censorship. Calls for investigations are already growing.

Senate Republicans have slipped $1 billion for White House Ballroom security enhancements into their immigration enforcement funding bill the one they’re trying to rush through Congress this month.

Trump on the pause Project Freedom:

Pritzker: "I think the man has dementia. I don't really understand how it works up there for him."
