WHITESIDES: The truth is the cheapest form of energy on a per unit basis is daytime solar. Is that not true? CHRIS WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No it doesn't depend! It's true. You are amazingly misleading the American public. WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No!

The Dow is almost under 50,000 again, which means we can finally talk about the Epstein files again.

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Victor Marx, frontrunner for the GOP nod for CO Gov, makes astonishing claims about his accomplishments. He’s either had one of the most extraordinary lives in human history or he’s a liar and a fraud. When I asked how voters should decide, he joked that his dog would bite me.

Watch all the Republican senators fall in line to confirm Blanche because he “canceled” the slush fund (though he won’t put that in writing) but allowed the Trump tax immunity to remain.

Republicans don't understand SNAP, they've been conditioned to hate poor people. To understand SNAP:👇

This is eye opening and deeply troubling. I needed the reminder that most members of hate groups didn't necessarily start out with the goal of being hateful. It's much more insidious and alarming. #Pinks #ProudBlue open.substack.com/pub/michaelf...

Imagine getting temporary receivership of the long-running, extremely-profitable geopolitical brand called the USA, then incinerating every shred of its assets and credibility just to sooth the temporary, raging narcissistic needs of a sociopathic child molester who will soon be gone anyway.

BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner: "The president has severe daytime somnolence. He's fallen asleep in the Oval on multiple occasions & I was concerned he might have fallen asleep at Arlington. Chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects."

The President has made hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trades this year in companies his own Administration regulates — then he uses his platform to influence the market. It's blatant corruption.

It’s bizarre that the press hasn’t noted this more. Turning the Butler attempt into a big show at the convention was practically inviting more people to give it a go.

Prosecuted for crimes. Pardoned for political purposes

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

Trump administration upends decades-old in-US green card adjustments forcing 600000 applicants abroad including refugees and workers trapping families in separations amid stalled visas. #StatusUpend

I love the part where he says "Fucking idiots". Lmao #USDemocracy

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

dang a story about an octogenarian congressperson positively oozing with disdain for her young, proactive constituent and it's *not* a Democrat

This pisses me off so bad and it would even if she was a Democrat writing to a kid with chud beliefs because it's a kid trying to participate in democracy and this mean old bat tells him he's too young and stupid to understand it. How power works in this country in a nutshell.

TN eliminated only majority-Black district AL, LA eliminating majority-Black districts SC planning to oust only Black Democrat since Reconstruction MS planning to oust only Black rep GA planning special session to eliminate majority-Black districts This is what return to Jim Crow looks like

Top Maryland Democrats restarted talks about possibly redrawing the state’s congressional map following Republican gains in the South. https://www.notus.org/house/maryland-looks-into-drawing-its-one-house-republican-out-of-his-seat

How dare he, after all the damage he’s already done.

HUFFMAN: Do you agree most Americans are struggling right now to afford basic necessities because of rising costs? BURGUM: This administration inherited the highest inflation in 40 years H: Are families struggling w/ rising costs? Yes or no B: During the first yea- H: You're deflecting to Biden

Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

🚨HOLY SHIT: MAGA Congresswoman Jen Kiggans tried to COLLUDE with a radio station host to DELETE an interview where she agreed to tell Hakeem Jeffries to keep his “cotton-picking hands” off Virginia. Share this EVERYWHERE to to keep her racism from being buried. #JimCrowJen

They've indicted a former FBI Director for posting pictures of seashells on the beach, but NOT ONE PEDOPHILE from the Epstein files has been arrested. Make it make sense.

📣 NEW: Tennessee Republicans stripped Democratic lawmakers from House committees after they protested the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander that dismantled the state's only majority-Black district.

U.S. intelligence says Iran remains far stronger than Trump claimed. Classified assessments show Iran has restored access to 30 of 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz and retains roughly 70% of its missile launchers and stockpile, per NYT.

I’m not seeing any enthusiasm out there from Team MAGA about Trump’s call to make Venezuela the 51st state. I wonder why?

“On day one, I will end inflation and slash prices.”

MURKOWSKI: Has the administration considered seeking an authorization for use of military force from Congress? HEGSETH: Our view is that should the president make the decision to recommence, we would have all the authorities to do so under Article 2

Trump isn't beating the senility allegations with non-responses like this

Hegseth gets performatively indignant instead of answering Chris Coons's straightforward question about what the military's plan is for reopening the Strait of Hormuz (It's pretty clear there is no plan ... )

HEGSETH: We know Russia is a nefarious actor and account for tha-- SHAHEEN: All evidence to the contrary. We're not accounting for that if we're giving Russia the opportunity to earn $4 billion a month by leaving sanctions lifted

It’s impossible, it’s literally fucking impossible to underestimate the depths of Donald Trump’s ignorance. The man is a motherfucking moron.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥 The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.

Happy Statehood Day, Minnesota! Proud to celebrate our state’s 168th birthday and all that Minnesotans have contributed to our great nation.

I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Thanks Mr Trump for lying abt donors paying for the ballroom And for lying to us abt Mexico paying for the wall And for lying abt no new mideast wars And for lying abt releasing all Epstein files. Oh, & we love these gas prices -obedient cucks of MAGA

🗣️ REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY… we convict the Tennessee general assembly of exploiting Black people and attempting to dilute Black political power. Governor Lee is guilty. Cameron Sexton is guilty. White supremacy is guilty.” #Jimcrow #WeThePeople

CNN: “Tennessee is the first state to pass new congressional districts since a US Supreme Court ruling last week significantly weakened federal Voting Rights Act protections for minorities.” www.cnn.com/2026/05/07/p...

8 days. That’s how long it took Tennessee Republicans to gut a majority-Black Memphis district after SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act. Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina are next. They’re not even hiding it anymore.
