It's thematic--many of these acts were charting in 1776.

Looking forward to all the testimonials from sports bettors who crushed it picking Vegas to sweep Colorado.

NYT prints "5 Things to Know About Ken Paxton." The fact that he stole a $1,000 pen doesn't even make the top 5. Can't wait for the Top 20. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

Winning GOP politics: Mid-level douchebag proves utter douchebaggery, earns endorsement from Douchebag-in-Chief, claims support of shit-eating peons. Repeat.

This is not the first study to find that our local waters have become a veritable pharma-sea. A 2016 Puget Sound study found salmon with Prozac, Advil, Benadryl and Lipitor, as well as coke. Pretty soon you won’t be able to barbecue without a prescription. @steveburgess53.bsky.social advises. 🐟❄️

A man was shot and killed at the White House yesterday. Apparently the suspect once claimed he was Jesus Christ. No, not that guy.

🔥 @repcohen.bsky.social : “Don’t tell me, John Roberts, The Supreme Court is not political. It is an arm of the White House. 🇺🇸 is being destroyed from within 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” #Memphis #JimCrow #RacistRedistricting

Perry told attorneys she was open to again hearing the issue of vindictive prosecution and said there's potential for sanctions for prosecutorial misconduct.

Perry says she was "incredibly shocked by the redactions that were made. … I have never seen the types of prosecutorial behavior before a grand jury that I saw in those transcripts."

Favourite fucked-up fact about the Trump Slush Fund: It is specifically funded at $1.776 billion because.... 1776. Patriotic grifting!

"He's a person I've known for a long time," Trump says. His son. He's talking about his son.

Thanks to John Beaudin at RockHistoryBook.com for unearthing this old interview I did with Al Stewart in 1985. This was the clip that made me ask him to dig it out--a little disquisition on the strangeness of fame. I quote part of it in my 2024 book "Reservations."

Fascinating how the Trump Administration always gets its inspiration from the Nazis...

This bill creates a new government office: Grifter-in-Chief.

Twitter was rebranded as X. Now Tesla is rebranding as Acme.

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

Republicans do not believe you need a mask for: 1. Disease prevention 2. A massive heist www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

He hath cast down the pillars of the East Wing. He hath painted the Lincoln waters. Let my people grift!

The biggest problem with being childless is that I have nothing to trade for a bag of tomatoes.

this might just be the most blatantly corrupt act ever committed by any president in U.S. history

One of nature's most brutal spectacles--crows vs. defenceless pizza.

Heist movies are no fun anymore. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

When President Xi mentioned the Thucydides Trap, Trump thought he meant the sand bunker on the seventh hole.

Donald Trump's superpower is shamelessness. Mike Johnson's superpower is cluelessness.

Was it the Pope?

Tense negotiations between Trump and Xi right now--Xi wants tariffs removed; Trump wants China to torture more dissidents.....

Me, Danielle Smith? Driving the Alberta separatist bus?

Billionaire Kevin O'leary says two people fighting against data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out it's just two locals and they make a hilarious video calling him out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDy6...

All those who ordered a Trump phone, Mitski has a song for you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mOG...

On my phone this morning, an emergency alert for two kidnapped children. If I had ordered a Trump phone I wouldn't have seen the warning, which seems fitting.

OK, pardon another baseball post, but: #Jays say, "Oh, Lauer has trouble in the first inning. Genius! We'll start him in the FOURTH inning!" (A.K.A., Lauer's first inning.)

OK, maybe a couple of demerits. But I still got marks for proper signalling and shoulder check, right? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
