Completely un-American.

Another day of Trump padding the pockets of his wealthy donors instead of doing anything to help Minnesotans.

The biggest cover up in our history.

A federal judge ordered on Friday that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts remove President Trump’s name from the building’s facade and all official branding and temporarily blocked the institution from shuttering this summer for renovations. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/a...

The staggering defeat of Senator John Cornyn of Texas in a primary runoff this week underscored how the most ardent Republican voters have abandoned even stalwart party figures over the past decade to follow the desires of President Trump.

A Chinese critic of his country’s ruling Communist Party has tried to flee China at least three times but was always sent back. Now Dong Guangping is in custody in South Korea after arriving in a rubber boat earlier this week.

Vaccine and science denialism has deadly consequences.

I'm relieved that the Republicans' partisan amendment to my Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act has failed. I was proud to vote no because no President should have unilateral authority to decide the content and location of a museum.

Not only does Trump still insist the assault on democracy on Jan. 6 was "right," he also wants to reward the violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars. Disgusting and unacceptable!

A win! A federal judge ruled that the White House must preserve all presidential records including text messages and has to comply with the Presidential Records Act. This blocks a DOJ memo from April that tried to declare Trump’s White House records his personal private property.

Massie unfettered should be interesting to behold. The Epstein class should be very concerned.

The corruption is beyond the pale.

We must never view this as normal behavior, even if it comes from a man like Trump.

Evil empire

In the last 6 months, Amazon laid off 30,000 employees. But Jeff Bezos was able to find an extra $10 MILLION to sponsor the Met Gala. Funny how the employees who make him rich are disposable, but flaunting wealth at fancy parties is a priority.

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump. Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done. Yet only one is considered a "power grab." Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

Scientists recently unearthed a 220,000-year-old quarry that humans repeatedly visited for tens of thousands of years. The extraordinary site suggests humans had favored rock spots for tools much earlier than previously believed. #Archaeology #Paleoanthropology 🧪🏺 New at @science.org

Harassment and illegal

CDFW on the case!

The Trump administration fired two immigration judges who dismissed deportation cases against pro-Palestinian international students. The firings of Roopal Patel and Nina Froes are the latest move to reshape the country’s immigration courts.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump still enjoys Republican support in Congress. The two parties are not the same.

To all those men asking why these women didn’t file police reports, I direct you to the Epstein files as an example. Despite police reports, in some cases depositions under oath and NO justice has been dispensed from a court of law. The women are re-traumatized and the men are free.

This! 💯

Wow. It really is true what they say about stopped clocks being right twice a day.

Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. As MAGA voters reckon with Donald Trump's increasingly deranged behavior and betrayals of his core campaign promises, their reactions fit neatly within the five stages of grief. This piece looks at what that shift may mean and what could come next.

"By using threats of prosecution and coercive language, the U.S. government violated a 40-year-old court order that bans immigration agents from attempting to coerce unaccompanied children to voluntarily leave the country after being detained." https://bit.ly/47RtuZJ

Trump signed an unconstitutional executive order that attempts to stop voting by mail. This is a clear undemocratic ploy to create additional barriers to voting for American citizens. The best part of it all? The hypocrite in chief VOTED BY MAIL just last week in Florida.

Trump issues an executive order to end mail in ballots. Not only does Trump not gave the authority to make election rules, he always votes by mail. Lawyers are already lined up to challenge the order. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.npr.org/2026/03/31/n...

A huge win! The Senate voted unanimously early this morning to fund the Department of Homeland Security but without funding for ICE or Border Patrol deportation and enforcement operations.

Such a dictator

The LaGuardia crash investigation was delayed by the shutdown, with at least one specialist stuck in a long T.S.A. line, a transportation safety official said.

"A U.S. federal jury found Elon Musk liable on Friday for claims he defrauded Twitter shareholders by ‌trying to drive down the social media company's stock price so he could renegotiate or back out of a $44 billion takeover in 2022."
