Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

It's almost the weekend ... everybody hang in there, we got this!

21st century America is a multiracial democracy whose commerce, culture and cuisine reflect the influence of immigrants from every country on earth. The only people seemingly unable to assimilate into this society are white Republicans.

Trump has campaigned for incumbent Rs in 6 House districts: IA-1, IA-3, NY-17, PA-7, PA-8, WI-3. Rs clearly consider these districts the most likely to flip. Let's now meet our candidates running in all 6. First, here's @bohannaniowa.bsky.social in IA-1 1/ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/meet-chris...

Time for a wee break from the screens - enjoy your weekend everyone!

Juneteenth and Other Poems From MurielVieuxThePoet www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

This year, Juneteenth falls 7 weeks after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, unwinding decades of progress & undoing a key pillar of the fight for equality. While Republicans are doing all they can to turn back the clock, Juneteenth reminds us that we must never rest in the pursuit of justice.

In a new low, ICE would not let us speak with any detainees inside Delaney Hall.  If you know someone at Delaney Hall, if you love someone at Delaney Hall—tell them to request a privacy release form so we can get them the help they need. ⬇️

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that Michelle has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

Got up early to mow the lawn before work and feel rather proud of myself … (I will want a nap by noon and whine about it).

Time for a long weekend break from the inter webs .... see y'all next week and take care of yourselves!

Your regular reminder that this clearly-it's-a-war is neither approved by Congress nor the UN Security Council & it is an egregious violation of the US Constitution, international law, & our signed, ratified treaty commitments, & if we were a serious country, we would care about these things

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated. He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one. He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers. Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

So many thoughts ... - He looks absolutely terrible - Throwing a tantrum in this silly, folksy tractor-and-hay-bale set up is hilarious - Despite Bari Weiss' obvious efforts to make CBS more GOP-friendly, he's still frothing with rage at CBS ... lmao - Don't call her "darling" fucko

Oh this is sad RIP He was talented and debonair

Kelly: What are the American people getting out of this conflict with Iran right now? Iran wasn’t about to develop a nuclear weapon. Their enrichment went up because Donald Trump tore up the JCPOA. So this conflict is of Donald Trump’s doing and making.

Drop an older person you’re going to turn into in the future

The Marseillaise scene always makes me cry #VanGhoulAtTheMovies #Casablanca

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

Yes!!! 😊. Some good news!!

“I don’t know who installed the screaming void of chaos and madness on the wall behind me at our presumably New England town meeting but that’s not important now. What’s important is do not turn around.”

Oh fuck off White House 🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸

Me sitting through this conference call:

Obsessed over an appellate brief I was drafting so hard that I’m no longer confident I understand how words work… 🫠 #lawyering #writing

Embiid’s cute kid going “DADDY LOOK AT MY TOOTH” in the middle of his post game interview is cracking me up

I’m having strawberries and Nutella for dinner and nobody can stop me

Today is May 1, International Workers' Day. This photo is from 2023. The fight for workers' rights isn't something that I just started doing with my campaign, it's a commitment that I've had for years. 1/

A little feel good news about someone doing something nice

#FrightClub #TheWickerMan First time watch - digging the scenery so far! But ... is this guy lost? How long has he been tooling around in this little sea plane and now there are palm trees? 😂

Fuck the current SCOTUS and fuck Mitch McConnell in particular for stealing so many SCOTUS seats

Destroying my back assembling the office chair I bought to help my lower back pain

Trump is mired in an illegal war that's destabilizing the world while spiking inflation & immiserating Americans, a key part of the govt remains unfunded, & Rs who control Congress are fixated on...spending taxpayer $ for a vanity ballroom Trump vowed would be privately funded A complete clown show

After fleeing India, a family of four is being detained in a controversial Texas facility, facing deteriorating health, inedible food and substandard education

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

Oh for heaven's sake ... I keep seeing takes like this, as if everyone just woke up from a years-long nap. The 2024 Election was the vote on this! He was under multiple federal prosecutions and facing trial! Everyone knew he was found liable for SA! Voters saved his stupid ass. 1/2

This is happening to tens of thousands of people. It is a disgrace. It is a parody of due process; after more than a decade, the government suddenly orders you to return to a court hearing in just days, thousands of miles from where you live. And it's tearing lives apart.

Convinced my sister my nephew is old enough to watch The Lost Boys … a classic. Let’s see if I remember it accurately and how much trouble I get into with my sister lol #FrightClub

Time to do my taxes at the last minute and in a blind panic

A thread of cats very interested in the Artemis capsule.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,” Rep. Adelita Grijalva said. “It is frightening in there. It is disgusting.” story via @jerodmacevoy.com

JUST NOW: House Democrats were set to try to pass a resolution to halt Trump's war with Iran — but the Republican presiding over the session, Chris Smith of New Jersey, gaveled out without calling on Rep. Glenn Ivey, who going to introduce the resolution. Democrats shouted in protest.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Trump bombed schoolchildren and is now threatening that a “whole civilization will die.” He is an out-of-control lunatic. Republicans must stop bending the knee and vote with Democrats to end this war.

This is not normal. This is not just "Trump being Trump". This is an insane man who is unfit for office, and needs to be removed immediately.

This man is threatening mass killings & war crimes on social media. When will enough be enough? These aren’t policy differences. He’s threatening crimes. It’s time to invoke the 25th. But we can’t do it alone—we need our Republican colleagues to do the right thing for this country & for the world.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

If you’re gonna panic, panic on the phone to your Senators and Representative. (I have already done so this morning.. a bit panicked not gonna lie)

You slobs wanted a shitposter president, and it's yours for the low price of your eternal soul and $10 gas. Next time, don't vote for the guy who had us hunting for toilet paper as he coughed in America's face.

What I think I look like while running:

The US has been proudly acting like the asshole at the party all night, then wonders why nobody wants to drive us home.
