Asked how much Americans’ financial situations were motivating him to make a deal with Iran, President Donald Trump told reporters on May 12, 2026: “Not even a little bit. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.”

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

Yesterday morning, I wrote about how #SCOTUS keeps *choosing* to inject itself into politics. Then, the Court did it again last night—clearing the way for Alabama to re-draw its maps *this* cycle, even though it allowed Alabama to use old, unlawful maps in 2022: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

You’ve probably had your limit at this point, please read this explanation of what happened yesterday and share it widely. It’s more important than ever to make sure people understand why we have to vote for democracy and we have to get started now if we want to be able to vote.

17 Years. 17 Years until the US becomes a majority minority country. The Supreme Court’s demolition of the Voting Rights Act today is an attempt to keep power in the hands of white people, but the Supreme Court can’t strike down demographics.

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

This indictment of Jim Comey (for a photo of sea shells spelling out 8647) is the definition of stupidity, malevolence, absurdity and is the most moronic abuse of power in my lifetime…over 70 years.

Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.

In January, the Under Secretary of War summoned Pope Leo XIV’s then-cardinal ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture. America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.

None of this can be sustained. We can't live like this for the next thirty months. We can't even live like this for the next two weeks. He's created massive social trauma on a global scale. The people of the United States owe it to the planet to remove him from office.

I prefer presidents who don’t threaten to end civilizations.

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

So, Vance is saying that US students aren’t smart enough to compete.

I try to avoid taking the bait and amplifying a message that is posted with an obvious desire to divide and conquer, but every voter needs to see this one. This man is unfit for office.

I was born three days later than I should have been because my mom had to hold me in while searching frantically for her lost drivers license so she’d be allowed to give birth.

I don’t think “love your enemies” includes asking God to kill them.

His team determined that nine Iranian ships switched off their location transponders and passed through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed to all other boats. cbsn.ws/4selev3

Luttig: Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth or takes an action, the American people are forced to go into court and litigate. That’s the tragic place America finds itself in today. It is only the Supreme Court that is standing in the way of the American people saving their country.

What incredible arrogance by someone with such little knowledge.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Crucial and powerful essay by @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social. Lest we forget. www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Follow the money The Coinbase CEO met with Trump at the WH & hours later Trump attacked banks for opposing stablecoin yields His family has made hundreds of millions from World Liberty Financial, which issues USD1 — a stablecoin that benefits directly! Corruption in plain sight

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

There are some fifty critical pages missing. It's a crime to cover up a crime.

Wow.

Whoa.

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.

WTH? Another republican.

Really interesting post from @asharangappa.bsky.social tackling the imponderably difficult task of restoration at DOJ once the cavalry finally arrives and exploring a process akin to the "denazification" sorting that took place after WWII. open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

They shot down a party balloon and were going to shut down the El Paso airport for ten days over it. Yet, with zero evidence, we’re supposed to believe they’re blowing up drug trafficking boats?

I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?

The Trump administration, back turned and eyes averted from the truth about Epstein.

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says: "The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

Now we learn from Reps of both parties who saw the unredacted Epstein files today that Trump, Bondi, & Blanche are covering up the absolute worst things in the Epstein files to protect the wealthy, powerful and politically connected. DOJ is being run by criminal co-conspirators.
