The government-sponsored mayhem going on at Delaney Hall in unconscionable, and needs to be a MUCH bigger story. Hunger strike and protesters being brutalized and pushed into traffic, are you KIDDING me?

I'm not sure people -- including people inside oil futures markets! -- really get it: this is all going to get much worse. If you won't listen to me, listen to f'ing Exxon!

"Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and Former First Ladies Laura Bush and Michelle Obama serve as Honorary National Co-Chairs. The effort is supported by a bipartisan Congressional Caucus of more than 350 members — the largest caucus in U.S. history." america250.org

Here’s the deal for those confused: “America 250” is the bipartisan celebration committee. “Freedom 250” is a Trump organization celebrating him masquerading as a celebration of America. The concert was Freedom 250. Hence the cancellations

President Trump says he's backing away from his proposed Kennedy Center renovation and returning control of the arts institution to Congress.

BREAKING: A federal judge on Friday issued a ruling blocking President Donald Trump from renaming the Kennedy Center after himself and closing the venue. Could this be the first step to the theatre returning to its former glory?

Judge Leonie Brinkema in EDVA has enjoined Trump’s 1776 slush fund from going into operation for now.

“There was a man who has Stage 3 lung cancer, not getting medical treatment. He wants to leave, go back home, spend his final months...with his family. But they just won’t let him go.”

SCOOP: The Trump administration is paying millions to quickly cover four enormous bronze horses with extra-thick 23.75 karat gold leaf. The money for the rush job is coming from National Park Service funds. In total, I found ~$100 mil spent on new DC beautification projects.

Confirming @cnn.com: The Justice Department earlier this year referred an investigation into E. Jean Carroll to federal prosecutors in Chicago, a source tells the @chicago.suntimes.com. That investigation is active, the source said. w/ @vimiller.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/news/2026/05...

The argument is that the court has inherent authority to investigate a fraud perpetrated against it. The motion styles the movants as amici providing guidance about the court’s legal authority, not necessarily as a plaintiff with standing to sue. We’ll see what the judge thinks about that

The Trump administration is preparing a quarantine facility in Kenya for Americans who have been exposed to Ebola amid the escalating outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, an administration official says.

So if you're a Republican legislator, your menu now is: - Show a shred of distance from the guy polling 37%, and lose your primary. -Show abject fealty to the guy polling 37%, and lose the general.

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Chip Roy, author of the SAVE America Act, lost his Republican primary for Texas attorney general to outright election denier Mayes Middleton. While Trump did not endorse either candidate, he appeared to favor Middleton, who has praised the GOP for trying to “stop the steal” in 2020.

When Joe Lombardo was first asked about Trump's reckless tariffs, he said we needed to "feel a little pain." Nevadans deserve a governor who looks out and fights for working families, not someone who plays politics and feigns ignorance.

Trump and his family are yet again forcing what should be an important watchdog agency to do their corrupt bidding. They’re raking in money through fraud and abuse in crypto and prediction markets, while you struggle with higher costs. It’s rigging the system in real time.

"In the end, American consumers paid $159b in nat'l sales taxes for which most will never be reimbursed a penny. And rather than those taxes being used by the federal govt to, say, repave roads or build bridges, most of the money will instead provide corporate windfalls." — @schaller67.bsky.social
