I had some thoughts about latenight with @velshi.com on @velshimsnow.bsky.social

If the 2nd greatest English-language filmmaker of all time can cast a black woman as Helen of Troy, then surely Christopher Nolan can, as well.

Wow, he's a no.

“300 detainees say they’re being tortured.” People with HIV. Severe heart conditions. A blind detainee. Now they’re on a hunger strike because nobody listened. Organizers say strike leaders are being transferred to silence them. This is happening at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. #SheShed

Every state should take a page out of Hawaii’s playbook on tackling Citizens United

Someone finally snapped. Maybe this will give other Republicans the courage to break with Trump. Senator Thom Tillis's loud and broad critique of the administration, including Trump’s handpicked criminal cabinet and absurd foreign policy is fantastic. #pinks

Wow! What a kick

Nothing to see here, move along.

Ikr?

Stephen Colbert closed out the final episode of The Late Show with an emotional performance of “Hello, Goodbye” alongside Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney symbolically switched off the studio lights one last time to the Ed Sullivan Theater. 🥹🥺

Bribes being dangled by the mob bosses' consigliere tracks.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

I love this interview. Where is Barbara Walter’s when you need her?

Anyone else remember that time Vance's home sold to a lobbyist and gov't contractor for $170,000 over the asking price?

Trump: I barely knew the guy

I love and respect this scientist. Carl Sagan answers a question about creation vs evolution.

The count on you being exhausted by the firehose of corruption and bullshit. But THIS. THIS is grounds to march on DC and demand the END of this mafia administration. This is the biggest middle finger to America.

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Phang: You know how hard it is for these victims of Epstein to come forward...to be told we'll follow up or do something then nothing happens has to be so heartbreaking for your clients. Freeman: It really is, particularly for Maria Farmer, who's been living with this for 30 years, three decades.

MELANIA LOOKS PRETTY CHUMMY WITH SOMEONE SHE DIDN'T KNOW!! LYING IS JUST NORMAL IN THE WHITE HOUSE

“Some inmates who served with Ghislaine Maxwell say they were punished by prison staff for talking about her alleged special treatment. One woman says after speaking to a reporter, she was punished.” Totally normal and not suspicious at all.

“I’m paying for it… free of charge… zero cost to taxpayers…” 🤥

Happy Mother's Day

Late last night, Olivia Andre finally returned to Maine. After six months of unlawful federal detention in Dilley, she is back where she belongs, reunited with her family and welcomed home by a community that never stopped waiting.

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

We should get these for Ukraine in massive numbers #NAFO

The wildest thing about Trump releasing the UFO files today, is that he’s mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.

NY state lawmakers like @zellnor.bsky.social want to change the law to help victims of sex trafficking rings (like that of Jeffrey Epstein) see some justice, incl. opening the time window for lawsuits & adding crimes. I've got the latest on this push for accountability. youtu.be/DsC4UGRuzrU?...

Never Forget as We Americans and other nationalities die.

This is 100% true.

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

Subprime auto loan defaults (folks with lower credit scores) with a 60+ days past due rate hit a 32-year record of 6.9% in January 2026 (Fitch data), surpassing the Great Recession highs. Private credit defaults are rising (recent figures around 5.8–9.2%). 🧵

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.
