A Congressional Budget Office analysis suggests the cost of the missile defense program could be $1.2 trillion over the next 20 years, a far heftier sum than the initial $175 billion price tag. n.pr/4wpqgqX

Zelensky said more than 100 Russian drones are currently in Ukrainian airspace and warned that more attack waves may come during the day. Overnight, Russia hit homes and rail infrastructure in Dnipro and Kharkiv regions, ports in Odesa region and energy sites in Poltava region. #Ukraine

Russian strikes killed 8 people and wounded 11 in Dnipropetrovsk region overnight, the regional administration said. Nikopol, Synelnykove and Kryvyi Rih areas were hit, damaging homes, infrastructure, vehicles, an enterprise and a gas pipeline. #Ukraine

What a useless endeavor.

When Colbert is gone, I'll have no reason to watch anything on CBS.

virgnia foxx is one of those low key members who has been abjectly horrible her entire time in office. a total degenerate.

Tom Takubo, a Republican state senator in West Virginia, faced attacks for—well, I can't summarize it, you can see the image. Takubo won tonight.

Jeff Bezos, who is worth over $250 billion, says it’s wrong for govt to provide moms with diapers. Fuck Bezos.

Big redistricting news: New Jersey's Senate leader just said Dems may put an amendment on the 2026 ballot to redraw the congressional map for 2028 to counter GOP gerrymanders. Dems could draw an 11-1 map to target two GOP seats (Dems could flip one this fall but could still make it much bluer)

No, no, no, no, no, nope.

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

If we had a real FBI, then they would be able to take action on this bs from violent rw extremists. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

I’m now told this witness’s appeal was dismissed in recent days and he was finally ordered removed.

I joined neighbors protesting ICE at 26 Federal Plaza this afternoon with @thenyic.bsky.social, @maketheroadny.bsky.social, CUFFH, @handsoffnyc.bsky.social and a rousing chorus of This Land is Your Land by Tom Morello, and at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park tonight. (1/2)

He is directly robbing the American people, and everyone involved here belongs in prison.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

If Hunter Biden had accompanied President Joe Biden on a state visit to China, every host at Fox News would have talked about nothing else for a year. Here, Fox host Lara Trump posts that she and her husband Eric Trump are joining Eric’s father, President Donald Trump, on his trip to “CHYYYYYNA.”

No War Wednesdays is a new phonebank series for ending Trump’s illegal and costly war that Americans oppose overwhelmingly. We contact voters in key states and connect them with their Members of Congress to demand no more funding for Trump’s war of choice in Iran.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

Don’t let them tell you that Ukraine depleted our weapons stocks. They didn’t. Completely different systems. In fact, because of Ukraine our industrial base has improved. They lie and lie. We won’t fall for it

Now that the Missouri Supreme Court has upheld the new 7R-1D congressional map, which is going be used in the 2026 midterms — maybe Democrats will get off their asses and start playing offense. Where the fuck are the Democratic governors? Our democracy is under siege! Let's go!

Russel Vought, proposed $18 billion cuts to the NIH and huge reductions to the CDC, both of which are critical for cancer research and science. I lost my brother two years ago to a cancer. I myself have stage four cancer. My son suffers from cystic fibrosis, as does Vought's daughter. 🖕🏼F- YOU

Trump is pathological and shameless.

So much for the US military campaign that Trump and Hegseth claim has decimated the Iranian military…. NYT: Iran still fields about 70 percent of its mobile launchers across the country and has retained roughly 70 percent of its prewar missile stockpile. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

“Let's just say that with the Iran war and everything else, the Trump brand was increasingly toxic in Australia," he said. "Some time ago we knew it was time to part company.”

He's slurring his speech right now, lmao

Three-byline alert: 🚨 “.. Most alarming to some senior officials is evidence that Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Yet another redistricting victory for the GOP, this time in Missouri. Recent history had been that turning in signatures for a veto referendum suspends the targeted law, but the justices in Missouri say this won't be the case with the veto referendum against the new map — & it can go into effect.

And there are Dems out there seeking "bipartisanship" with these guys who are rigging the system.

THIS QUIXOTIC DESIRE TO FIND BIPARTISANSHIP WITH THE GOP IS ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING!!! STOP IT! FIGHT THESE GUYS!

The Trump administration exposed this Epstein survivor's name more than 500 times in the files' release, she says. Now she fears for her life.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Supreme Court upholds new US House districts backed by Trump that could help Republicans win an extra seat.p

U.S. households have paid an extra $268 every week in fuel costs since the start of Trump’s Iran War. With the spike, it's estimated that ExxonMobil’s full-year earnings will climb 46%. And Chevron's profits are expected to jump 56% for the year. It’s far past time for a windfall profits tax.

Oh my god

It is ridiculous to pretend X moved to the right because people left and not because it got bought by a neo-nazi who deliberately runs it with the overt goal of promoting his views and suppressing those he dislikes.

Watch as U.S. senators react to Trump saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation when making decisions about the war with Iran.
