Good morning…

Germany has failed for the first time to secure a UN Security Council seat, w/Portugal and Austria winning the two spots for the 2027-2028 term. Perhaps Chancellor Merz will realize that supplying Israel with weapons and continually supporting its disregard for international laws has consequences.

You forgot one: “I’m the Kraken.” Reporting from an undisclosed area.

Bari Weiss is a pathological liar. Scott Pelley just released another statement contradicting everything she said happened in their meeting. I fully believe his account, and I’m sure he has contemporaneous notes to back up his claims. CBS is going to face more lawsuits.

Every morning, like clockwork, I log into my social media accounts and pray that today is the morning the best news has finally arrived. And then the sadness seeps in…

My eighth birthday was themed after “Beauty and the Beast.” Of course, I was Belle. It was a magical, fun time. I’ll always love this beautiful rendition by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson. What an amazing talent. May you rest in eternal peace, Mr. Bryson.

FLAG: The Trump DOJ agreement that bars the government from probing past tax filings from Trump and his businesses is STILL in effect.

Um…what happened to Nancy Guthrie? Is she presumed deceased at this point? It’s such a bizarre case.

This June, let’s celebrate the beauty of living authentically, and the simple power of love in all its forms. Here’s to courage, kindness, visibility, and joy—for everyone, everywhere. Happy Pride Month ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

(7/X) Ellison and Weiss are killing the most important news program in American tv history, a profit powerhouse and the only legitimately tough and independent news show in current existence, to curry favor with Trump. And no one, especially no "free speech advocates", seems to care.

Tina Peters is out of prison, and she’s using her time to perpetuate more lies, of course. She asserts that she was “imprisoned in retaliation for exposing vote-flipping machines.” The only position Jared Polis is now suitable for is sanitation inspector. What a spineless, douchebag coward.

When you’re marching alongside Bezalel Smotrich during the Israel Day parade, you’re broadcasting to the world exactly what and whom you support. We see you for what you are: aligned with extremism, dehumanization, and policies of collective punishment and ethnic cleansing. FUCK ISRAEL

Graham Platner’s extramarital liaisons are disqualifying by Pete Hegseth, Ken Paxton, and Donald Trump

I don’t care if Graham Platner is sexting with 82 women. Maine, I need you to focus and elect him—not Susan Collins. Wake up and vote for change. Aren’t you tired of an elderly, Republican who consistently votes with pathological liars?

Breaking News: A federal prosecutor leading the James Comey indictment over the seashells post has resigned from the case. This is the third legal loss for Donald Trump today. Not me having the biggest smile on my face…

Good News: A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump’s name was illegally added to the Kennedy Center and has ordered it to be removed within two wks. The administration is also blocked from taking steps to close the institution. We owe Norm Eisen and Democracy Defenders Action a big thank you.

This is where I find bliss…

Calling Stephen Miller an ugly fuck isn’t cruelty—it’s clarity.

A gem from Twitter. This is the Democratic energy we need right now. When they go low, we’re going to the Earth’s core.

This is not normal and it’s not legal. Federal employees have whistleblower protections that NDAs cannot override. These agreements will not hold up in court and they know it! It’s just another scare tactic attempt to silence resistance.

Today is my birthday, and my heart is overflowing with joy and immense gratitude. I couldn’t be happier to be in a place that brings me such deep peace, surrounded by people who fill my life with laughter, and genuine happiness. Thank you to everyone who adds light to my days.

BREAKING: MS NOW confirms: Tulsi Gabbard is resigning as Director of National Intelligence.

Democrats say Donald Trump should stop taking bribes, freeing criminals, suppressing clean energy, defunding research, and driving up the cost of living. These Chinese government officials disagree.

It’s going to be the BEST holiday weekend. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay” Otis Redding

BREAKING: Federal courts have dismissed the DOJ's attempts to force Maine and Wisconsin to turn over their voters' sensitive data. The Trump administration is now 0-for-8 in their attempts to force states to hand over voter data and subvert our elections.

I’ve never had COVID. I still carry masks and antibacterial wipes in all my bags. I wear masks in very large crowds. Now, EBOLA and HANTAVIRUS have me feeling weird. I do think another pandemic is coming soon, unfortunately. Is it too early to order your own hazmat suits for everyday wear?

Governor Abigail Spanberger has vetoed a bill that would restrict ICE agents at schools, hospitals, and courthouses. Did we get Fetterman'd again? We have to STOP electing Democratic centrists.

Beware of Geeks Bearing Grifts Joburg doughboy Elon's figure's less than Greek, but this funny oligarch has the wrath of Achilles. After the golden fleece of DOGE, it's a wonder that anyone listens to the echo of this narcissist. by Maureen Dowd

Did you miss me? I finally got access to my account restored. It kept saying “rate limit exceeded” when I was trying to login. But I will say that @support.bsky.team was very prompt in emailing me back and giving me the necessary steps.

This is revolting. You can now get a pardon and payouts simply for being an insurrectionist, while taxpayers bear the consequences.

I need someone to explain to me exactly how Mamdani manages to sidestep the very bureaucracy that other politicians always blame for their inability to get anything done. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

The Republican Party is governed by a senile, malignant narcissist who has destroyed the American economy. But a new adaptation of the Odyssey features a Black Helen of Troy. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The Senate Parliamentarian has declared that the $1B needed for Trump's ballroom will be subject to a 60-vote threshold. Fetterman is a given contemptuous fool, but let me see another Democrat vote for it. I will make it my personal project to have them primaried.

I’m still disgusted by this. A Democratic governor doing Trump’s bidding is absolutely pathetic. Unless Democrats get into the gutter with them, we’ll continue to lose. Stop the weak overtures and appeasement. Republicans ram through whatever policies they want without any hesitation. Try it.

The median American voter would also stare blankly if the president of China talked about a Thucydides Trap, so Donald Trump is probably more of a man of the people than Democrats want to admit. by Matthew Yglesias

This has to STOP! I’m sick of octogenarians in elected office. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), 83, has been in office for over fifteen years and she’s seeking another term. WTF? Missed votes in 2026: 43 consecutive House votes, because of two eye surgeries. Why can’t we find younger,qualified candidates?

Breaking News: The Senate has voted against advancing an Iran War Powers Resolution for the seventh time. 49-50 It was a Democrat that was the deciding vote. Guess who? John Fetterman voted against it. Again. A traitor to us all.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful, fierce women who’ve sacrificed and nurtured us. It's the kind of love that doesn't need thanks—it just keeps showing up, year after year, even when you're too grown to notice. The heartbeat you knew before you had words. Thank you, Mommy. For everything.

Opinion | Our enemy Iran has elections but then negates the people's will via an unelected, unaccountable ruling body. Here's why Virginia voters can't amend their own state's constitution if conservative judges don't want them to.

FOUR individuals have overturned 3M votes, and it’s completely political. The will of the people has been nullified yet again. Republicans: Pass new maps in SIX STATES all without a vote and it’s upheld. Democrats: Pass new maps in Virginia with a vote and it’s overturned. Democracy?

“If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they’re going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can’t think of anything more un-American.” -Sen. Mark Kelly

Maine 2024-2025 Rankings: Opportunity (#3) Natural Environment (#22) Education (#41) Infrastructure (#40) Economy (#30) Fiscal Stability (#29) Health Care (#28) Business Climate (#43) WTF has Susan Collins done for three decades? Can someone else get an opportunity to do better? VOTE HER OUT!

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for his seashell post on Instagram. DOJ: Your honor, the seashells in question were enriching uranium, as well. This inanity will be dismissed very soon. I’m actually embarrassed for them. Desperation…

I have so many thoughts about what happened at the WHCD. What’s glaring is that multiple agents exchanged fire and none of it landed. This suspect was not shot at all. Isn’t that weird? The security footage was released five minutes later. This admin has made it so you can’t ever believe them.

Breaking News: C-SPAN is reporting that shots have been fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Trump and several cabinet members have been evacuated. No word on if his ear is having a flare up.

Witkoff: Real estate developer. Trump’s envoy to the M.E.; key negotiator on Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine. No prior diplomatic experience. Kushner: Real estate investor. Advisor to Trump (2017-2021). These two men remain front and center, yet no conflicts are being resolved. I wonder why.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he was diagnosed, and treated for prostate cancer. Damn it. I became overly excited when I saw his name trending. I was hoping for the worst.

Breaking News: The YES vote has prevailed. Congratulations, Virginia Democrats! Picking up FOUR SEATS through smart redistricting is a huge win for fair representation and progress. Tell Trump. I want him to know it was every Democrat.

Trump has agreed to end the war in Iran if Iran agrees to rename the Strait of Hormuz the "Strait of America".
