Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

As millions of Americans struggle to afford basic needs and make ends meet, Republicans are busy scheduling votes to shovel $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol — and give Trump $1 billion for a ballroom. The GOP wants to rush a bill through Congress this week. We need your help to stop them.

Please stop calling it a cult, guys.

this says a number of things about cassidy, few of them flattering

The most principled figure in American politics: a retiring Republican Senator thinking about their book deal

HUGE: The Senate just advanced a War Powers Resolution aimed at ending Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Before the final vote, contact your senators (especially if they’re Republican) and demand they vote YES: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

He's said this a few times, so apparently he actually thinks this is a clever gotcha. It's like saying Democrats weren't protesting Burger King or The Lion King.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

…Psst! Doing your civic duty is important! Happy Tummy Tuesday, and good luck to the Pennsylvania Democratic primary candidates!

A nearly $2 billion slush fund for insurrectionists. Think about the message Trump’s sending.

Tech oligarchs realizing in real time that their appointed braindead shit-gibbon puppet leader is a double edged sword, because here comes the sharp side aimed at them.

all these features are going to suck shit

The ballot is cast! Gotta get the voice heard and vote! Even the local elections are important!

T-3 hours until polls close! Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to sign wave with me today. Let’s win this!

And I'm a raccoon that likes cats. Things like this are why. 😆

It’s amazing how much other search engines are these days

Let's be clear: Republicans could shut down Trump's slush fund today if they wanted to. Note that Raskin is calling on Republicans to join in legislating to block the fund. They won't, of course.

Blanche could’ve just said, without even fully accepting the premise here, that if you’re a known child abuser you can’t have this money. The fact that he won’t say that is horrifying

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

TODAY: Help us raise awareness about the GOP’s upcoming votes to shovel over $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol (and give Trump $1 billion for a ballroom). We’re contacting voters in key states and districts that are represented by the GOP to ensure Republicans hear from their constituents.

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

The "resolution" here is a $1.7 billion slush fund that would be used to pay off Trump allies who were prosecuted for their role in a coup against the United States government, which is almost as outrageous as the president arranging a payoff to himself.

This week, Senate is voting on ICE/CBP reconcilation bill. Lots of that money is going to DOJ - and there's a vote-a-rama Certainly @democrats.senate.gov can find some way to make GOP Senators vote on this outrage. Make a spectacle out of it (cause that's what GOP Senators would do in a heartbeat)

*googles "how to turn this shit off"*

thanks, google, for giving me ANOTHER reason to switch away.

Protect #LGBTQ+ voices: stand up for our #trans friends, family, neighbours, & peers! A government by & for The People—regardless of its current struggles under Trumplicanism—must be responsive to The People. Use your voice to oppose this dangerous, counterproductive, & discriminatory proposal! 😡 👇

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, at CAP event, on how House Democrats see this moment: “Either MAGA extremists are going to break the country, or we’re going to break them. And our goal is to break them. We will defeat them. We have to beat them electorally and then we have to break their spirit.”

Raskin: "This is about funding, or pre-funding, Donald Trump's private militia"

We’ve kept ICE funding blocked since January, but Republicans are now trying to rush it through — and they’re hoping you’re too distracted to notice.

COMMENTARY: Gov. Jared Polis (D) removed a standard line from Tina Peters' clemency letter which reads: "I believe you will be successful upon your release." If Peters is successful in helping President Trump overthrow American elections, that will be Polis' legacy.

cooked him like groceries

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

First, they taxed the private jets And I did not speak out. fortune.com/2026/05/16/n...

Senate Republicans should get a chance to vote to eradicate this fund alongside their chance to vote to strip ballroom construction from the reconciliation bill…

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved were accused of lying under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted. *the previous indictment involved an ICE agent who road raged while on duty.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
