Where is Donald Trump? Part 1: ⛳️🏌️‍♀️(Sunday) Part 2: 🚑🩻 (Monday) Part 3: 🙈 (Saturday) Trump has made zero public appearances in 72 hours as U.S. personnel are injured and drones are shot down in the ongoing Iran conflict.

When did we stop believing this? When did we stop trying to live up to this ideal? “My morning walk took me by the FDR Memorial. A reminder for all of us, especially those who lead this nation” (Jonathan Capehart 5/30/26 Substack).

Ukraine’s Gripen Deal Changes the Air War “Europe is no longer only donating what it can spare. It is beginning to build Ukraine into Europe’s forward defense industry and air defense ecosystem.” (Olga Nesterova, 5/28/26, journalist and founder of ONEST Network.)

‘A War Criminal Admitting to His Crimes’: Netanyahu Says He Ordered Military to Seize 70% of Gaza The head of a pro-Israel lobbying group called it "a blatant violation of the ceasefire and clear undermining of any plan for post-conflict Gaza."

Van Hollen Says Democratic Party Must End Whitewashing, Admit ‘Complicity’ in Gaza Genocide ​"Primary voters won’t trust any Democratic presidential candidate who does not have a record of moral and strategic clarity on these issues."

Priceless, indeed!

Where is Donald Trump? Part 1: ⛳️ 🏌️‍♀️(Sunday) Part 2: 🚑 🩻 (Monday) Part 3: TBA

“The Trump White House is in overdrive to coverup Trump's failing health, as they are compelled to disclose that he is scheduled for his THIRD annual medical exam in 13 months and FOURTH medical visit in 19 months, which may indicate a chronic health condition.”(Michael Popok, Legal AF 5/26/26).

Where’s Donald Trump? ⛳️🏌️‍♀️

Trump = 2/10 as a Wartime Leader “At a fundamental level Trump, who began by demanding UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER and trying to impose a subservient new regime, is now slinking away, leaving Iran’s hard-liners empowered — and America’s reputation shattered.” Paul Krugman (5/25/26). Iran’s view below:

A difference beat to the same old song as we all march along. Time for another fake disaster that will bind us together for another 24 hours bust.

Did Trump get the nuclear arms deal that was the aim of the war? No. What did he get? Open access to the Strait of Hormuz for the US. Didn’t they have that before the war? Yes, but now everyone respects US. Amazing!

Radicalization of the Old Right (GOP). “The problem is that a significant portion of America is buying Trump’s violent, hateful, lawless crap. Some of those buying it are white supremacists. Others are conservative fundamentalist Christians. Others are xenophobic nationalists” Robert Reich 5/24/26.

How do you feel about the economy? Data published by The Financial Times earlier this year showed that the top 10% of earners in the US now account for nearly half of all consumer spending, while the bottom 80% of earners now account for less than 40% of all consumer spending. Surprised? Angry?

“There are those timid souls who say this battle cannot be won; that we are condemned to a soulless wealth. I do not agree. We have the power to shape the civilization that we want. But we need your will, your labor, your hearts, if we are to build that kind of society.” LBJohnson, 1964.

New York Times (5/22/26) reports: “On Thursday, Senate Republicans stood up to President Trump on two of his biggest priorities: money for his White House ballroom, and a $1.8 billion fund to reward Trump supporters who claim political persecution by Democrats, such as the Jan. 6 rioters.” Stop ICE!

“Allen will ignominiously be paying CBS for Colbert’s time slot; CBS will ‘lease’ Colbert’s time slot to Allen, and Allen will pocket whatever advertising revenue the show brings in.” Thanks to Robert Reich for reporting on this sweetheart deal.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

"The administration will continue to claim that their actions serve the freedom of Cubans, but history has shown us that peace and democracy has never been realized through US imperialism or unilateral military intervention."

What happened on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' last night: “You're the first guy in America who's lost his show because we've got a president who can't take a joke," Springsteen said wryly, criticizing David Ellison, CEO of CBS.

Lies and more lies. Western sources cite Trump as threatening renewed attacks on Iran. Iran says attacks are postponed, Iranian funds will be released and oil sanctions have ended as bribes to restart diplomatic negotiations in Pakistan. Who’s telling the truth? Any guesses?

Rewrite history; distort reality; make up facts; overturn longstanding precedent. For Justice Alito—with an occasional assist from Chief Justice Roberts—it’s all in a day’s work.

In-depth analysis is not recommended. Keep it simple and outlandish for the illiterate masses who lose interest easily is the Trump motto. Our oil, big money, and end of the world are terms to use whenever possible. Life in the MAGA sphere is mostly repeated ritual with very little original thought.

Donald Trump Attacked David Attenborough — and Gets a Brutal “Lesson” He Won’t Forget Jesus,” Attenborough began, calm but firm. “You want to know what actually offends Jesus?”

Hantavirus: Are we safe? How have recent government policies impacted public health trust?

“It looks like ABC has finally figured out that it can’t win by appeasing the Trump administration, and has decided to fight back. Friday, ABC accused the government of trying to violate its free speech rights through heavy-handed regulatory threats issued by the Federal Communications Commission.”

University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers challenges the Pentagon's lowball $25 billion estimate for Trump's illegal war on Iran.

Still like #SharkTank? Well if you live in Utah that’s gonna cost ya. Kevin O'Leary's proposed data centre just got approved in Utah. It is estimated to consume 9GW of power per year eventually. More than double of the entire state of Utah. Guess whose energy prices are going up?

"Fundamentally the question that we face is will we allow one or a few of these corporations to literally remake our society?" one organizer with @thecreepstateiswatching.com said.

New Data Center Alert! Attention Minnesota et al: Rosemount, Hermantown etc. Ask yourself: What is the legacy I am leaving for my children? Conserve your land, water, and energy; guard your right to gain information from your elected representatives.

“When will they (MAGAs) ever learn.” The first time blame on you; the second, third and fourth times … 36% of Americans still believe what their Leader tells them. Ouch!

Trump (again) 4 hours ago: "Iran has been given only 24 hours. After that, the world may witness one of the most devastating air strikes ever seen."

Obama says Netanyahu pushed hard for Iran action while he was US President Former US President Barack Obama has exposed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for consistently advocating for military action against Iran, saying he faced similar pressure during his time in office. i24News5/4/26

Why is the MAGA President building battleships? “As far as I can tell, there is an overwhelming consensus among military experts that giant battleships are as obsolete as, well, coal power. Ukraine sank the Moskva, Russia’s Black Sea flagship, with missiles early in the war”(Paul Krugman 5/4/26).

Earth-Destroying Trump and the Threat of World War III | The man—the most despicable this nation has ever produced—should truly be considered a full-scale dystopian nightmare playing out in real time.​

Nobody celebrates the war started… Or do they if it means more money in their off shore bank account?

Oh, that ship has sailed . . .

Send in the clowns. What goes around comes around… A metaphor for what Trump tried in Minnesota with ICE and the November elections.

As our authoritarian leadership drags us back through time to repeat mistakes and cruelties of bygone eras, we must cry out, “Off with their heads!” Hang in there until we all agree, truth only comes after torture.

"Current conflicts prove that moving away from fossil fuels is an urgent necessity for security, well-being, and the climate," said a campaigner with Greenpeace Spain, which unveiled a display of Trump puking oil.

A great talking point about the 2020 "stolen" elections!

It’s interesting that RFK Jr. is so busy denying that he is to blame for vaccination rates plummeting. Given his anti-vaccine rhetoric over the past two decades, it seems he should be quite proud of his accomplishments.

There is a broad consensus that the U.S. military’s current model for the cyber domain is broken. Erica Lonergan and Mark Montgomery weigh the two main proposals: providing U.S. Cyber Command with greater budgetary control or to establish a new branch of the armed forces, a Cyber Force.
