ICE is shooting pepper spray and attacking press right now at Delaney Hall.

This is a really ballsy speech by student reporter Santiago Campos, winner of the Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship ($10,000) and worth watching in full.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

Chris Cuomo destroys Tom Homan: "I'm not saying this because it's my opinion. I'm saying because all the data is suggestive of this. Your own data, you have the most deaths in '25 and now you're on track to beat it. Is that just a coincidence?"

Morris Day and The Time responds: "Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair.'"

Not even a close call. Pulling your weapon on civilians in that manner when you are in no danger just to intimidate them because you don't like how they're talking to you? Instant firing offense.

The next Democratic president has to say that every federal law enforcement officer hired after January 20, 2025 will be fired, and all the rest of them will have their performance during the prior four years evaluated so that any who displayed this kind of unprofessional behavior will also be fired

NEW: “Immigration authorities have detained a pregnant woman and her 4-year-old son at Washington Dulles International Airport for over a week,” per her lawyers. “CBP is holding [Anabella] Gyasi and her son in a windowless holding room, according to the ACLU.”

LA County Supervisors have more constituents than the governors of a dozen-plus states. Mamdani has more than anyone in the House and a lot of the Senate.

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Fox News thinks this makes sense.

CNBC Daily Open: Oil falls on Iran peace hopes — then U.S. launches airstrikes

MS NOW: 56,407 people voted on the first day of early voting in South Carolina, according to the state's election commission.

Taking a caller question on C-SPAN, Scott MacFarlane said Democrats are preparing investigations into Trump family business dealings if they retake the House, including scrutiny involving Jared Kushner and Middle East ties.

Reports are emerging from Bandar Abbas, Iran, of multiple explosions overnight, according to Telegram posts we have translated.

not for nothing the “warnock is a fake christian and black christianity isn’t real” gambit they tried back in 2022 almost certainly helped the good reverend win his full term. bsky.app/profile/samd...

trump truly cannot comprehend the idea of public service

UPDATE: Mike Johnson said he has nothing to do with this dirty tricks operation. Which is interesting because what I reported was that it was linked to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the House Republican Super PAC. The CLF has declined to comment.

this seems extremely likely to end in career-ending sanctions for any DOJ lawyer stupid enough to put their name on it

Was just talking about this on CNN and my (obvious) point was that there is no reason to give DOJ any benefit of the doubt on this. The burden of proof lies with the administration to show that it is legitimate — which they won’t be able to do — not the other way around. www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

New: A group of 30+ former federal judges are urging a sitting US judge in Florida to reopen proceedings in Trump's lawsuit against the IRS to investigate whether the $1.8 billion fund agreement reached by his administration to resolve it was "a fraud on the court" www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

this week has been mostly going in the wrong direction

deal’s 95% done except for the ongoing warfare, the strait of hormuz, agreements between oman and iran, israeli incursions into lebanon and the iranian nuclear program, but, other than that, basically all sewn up any day now

As you read about how DOD is cooking the books so poor Donny doesn't have to hear about what a loser he is, remember that almost all media outlets repeat Trump's claims about the Iran War as if he knows fuckall about it and has agency to affect it.

I just spoke with Sister Sharon of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Philly. She drove straight from the ICE prison there where she was doing a weekly prayer session to Delaney Hall to support the hunger strikers. This is what she had to say:

NOW: I’m outside the Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, NJ where protesters are supporting detainees inside who are on a hunger and labor strike because of inhumane treatment. Follow this thread for updates.

NEW: Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) launches probe of Trump's planned 250-foot "Arch" near Arlington Natl Cemetery Beyer asks Interior Dept for info on traffic logjams & road safety: He says constituents "deserve answers about how the actions .. would affect their lives" beyer.house.gov/uploadedfile...

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

I think it is possible to live and work in DC and not see them. But, as someone who sees them every day, near my home and near my work, it remains deeply and viscerally unpleasant

3 Vietnam veterans have sued the Trump administration over the construction of Trump's 250-foot arch. The arch will obstruct the view from Arlington National Cemetery to the Lincoln Memorial. One of the veterans suing says "it's just disrespectful to those that I served with who didn't come back."

Reminder that this is still a common sight in DC. Never normalize it.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to move faster to fulfill an information request from Democrats seeking documents detailing possible plans to deploy immigration agents or military personnel to the polls this fall. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What we’re seeing is “respectable” conservatives openly moving to the position that the *only* acceptable form of Christianity is one rooted in white Christian nationalism.

NEW: The $1.8B slush fund is NOT A SETTLEMENT. And now, 35 former judges have filed a motion to REOPEN the Trump/IRS case so the judge can commence an inquiry into whether the court was deceived. I've been sayin!! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Looking at what he's done to the People's House (without Congressional approval, of course), I feel equal parts rage & embarrassment for our country. The Midterms can't come soon enough... #Register&VOTE 🌊

In the end we were just his latest casino and whatnot.

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

And what's with all these "Trump feels no pressure" headlines???? That's what he said, but it's utter horseshit and every reporter knows it. CNN at least offered an indication of his absurdity in its headline: www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/w...

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸
