This is way better than his last show on CBS. They should get him to do one of these at least monthly.

Grand jury misconduct is a misleading headline. Prosecutor misconduct with a grand jury seems more accurate.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia stands free as a federal judge dismantles the DOJ's retaliatory case against him. While the administration scrambled to indict the Salvadoran immigrant after a high-profile deportation loss, the court calls prosecution a clear abuse of power, forcing a dismissal of charges.

““My mother did not give her life. Her life was taken and it shocked the nation enough that they passed the Voting Rights Act in 1965,” he said, adding that the Supreme Court and Trump administration were “working tirelessly to go back to the ‘60s.” “It’s disgusting,” he said.”

Hands off Cuba!

If this was African and African Diaspora Studies being mandated we’d see entire issues of prestige magazines pondering the disastrous implications.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

The modern United States has experienced 11 recessions. Ten have happened under Republican presidents. This isn’t a coincidence. They screw things up because they try to impose a fairy tale on the country. trib.al/6lz7qQx

Journalist Ed Augustin, reporting from Havana, calls the Trump administration’s strict fuel blockade of Cuba “collective punishment of a population, particularly targeting poor communities, pregnant women, children and the elderly.”

Just a reminder that Israel boarded, kidnapped, & jailed people bringing aid to the people of Gaza while their flotilla was in international waters. This happened on Monday. Israel is a terrorist regime.

“I honestly believed that it was all fake before analyzing the content deeper. This is indeed the worst leak that I’ve witnessed in my career. It is obviously an individual’s mistake, but I believe that it might reveal internal practices.”

NEW: Roger Shoffstall spent three years in prison for evading income taxes. It hasn’t stopped the FCC from sending him $1 million a year to sell obsolete internet service in Alaska. The money comes from a special government subsidy program. You help pay for it. w/ @adn.com

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

Hell no!

You don’t have to speak Portuguese to understand this cartoon and the hypocrisy it implies.

“.. We spotted nine Polymarket accounts .. who made collectively $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. Military operations. .. “.. Now, here is the crazy part. 98% win rates.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/6...

"“It’s possible that we’re starting to see the consequences of severe and sudden cuts to global health programs that have eroded surveillance and allowed deadly viruses to spread undetected...” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

The U.S. government requires visa applicants to make all of their social media accounts fully public or risk being denied entry. This is straight out of 1984. Your right to privacy doesn’t just disappear at the border for millions of people, it disappears before they ever set foot here.

Scott MacFarlane reports on growing momentum in Congress for Supreme Court term limits. Several bipartisan proposals would impose 18- or 20-year limits on Supreme Court justices. Rep. Olszewski says the issue goes beyond any single ruling and reflects a broader crisis of confidence in the Court.

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

“It’s just frustrating to see them come into our community and run all over us like the citizens don’t matter, and then they’re above the law when they do break it,” resident, James Clifton said. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

The CEO of Ford drives a Chinese EV. And loves it.

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

There are ways to get around SCOTUS anti-democracy rulings. Hawaii, for example just found a work-around against Citizens United, and now people are finding a way to mitigate attacks on the Voting rights Act.

1/3 This election is for all the marbles. Democracy or authoritarianism. That's the choice. And it won't be decided by any of us individually.

I hope these abominable things are never approved to operate in the District of Columbia.

The cartoon is more accurate than you think. While Hazel Bryan (the white girl) and Elizabeth Eckford (the black girl) reunited in 1997, they couldn't properly reconcile because they, in their own words, couldn't acknowledge their painful shared past. www.history.com/articles/the...

“What was once considered unthinkable and deeply shameful is now either ignored or openly accepted in western capitals: horrific genocides, shocking violations of state sovereignty, and outright piracy on the high seas,” the Iranian foreign minister, said. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

What better way to illustrate the revolutionary nature of America's democratic government than to have the power mad president abuse his pardon power like a monarch?

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

I don't think recent memory has featured an industrial company with as much of a reputational fall-off as Tesla, both because of the decrease in quality of its cars and the increase in blithering fascism in its CEO. A decade ago a Tesla was a status object; now it's a vague embarrassment at best.
