“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

the clear takeaway here is that the administration wants to unlawfully seize the smithsonian and make it a temple for white supremacist “history” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/a...

No matter how states try to spin it, intentional discrimination against Black voters is still illegal — and we'll keep fighting it.

Release the trumpstein files!

Happy to share our first campaign ad!! Www.Harrydunnformd.com

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Trump Yesterday: "I wasn't involved in the creation of [the $1.776 billion slush fund] and the negotiation." Trump Today: "I was the one who decided how much money would go into the $1.776 billion slush fund." He lies about everything.

More than 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, a new analysis by the Brookings Institution suggests. Roughly three-quarters of those children are likely U.S. citizens. nyti.ms/42CBGKt

The Trump regime is delaying work permit renewals for thousands of DACA recipients, putting their incomes and immigration protections at risk. Many report they were terminated because of the delays. It was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty. www.cnn.com/2026/05/16/b...

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“All roads lead to the South”

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Trump says he ‘doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation’ as he heads to China for talks with Xi Jinping – US politics live

@congressmanraja.bsky.social on Ghislaine Maxwell: "She participated in the sexual abuse of girls. She recruited victims for Epstein. She should not get a pardon or any clemency."

Good

Epstein Survivor hearing happening in West Palm Beach now. We stand with survivors.

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

Immigrants aren’t stealing your jobs, billionaires are.

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

This

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down. If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

This was John Roberts’ plan all along #Salon

Chief Justice John Roberts and his fellow GOP justices are 100% to blame for people believing the Supreme Court is simply an arm of the GOP. And the reason people believe that is because it is!!

Fox got a tip. The FBI raid of Sen. Louise Lucas (key figure in Dem redistricting) was staged for cameras. Meanwhile — Epstein files locked away. Lutnick’s interview? Closed doors. Survivors ignored. They’ll blast a political rival on screen to keep you from asking the real questions. It’s a twofer!

BREAKING: The FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, according to Fox News, who was conveniently on the scene. 1/4

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

We wanted to give a shoutout to Raleigh, NC for May Day. ✊💚

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

Since November 14 of 2024 I have been on this platform watching people wait around for the next election. They’re still saying we have to see what happens and then decide what to do. It’s absolutely maddening. LOOK WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!

"Right now, our industry is afraid of the wrong things. We’re afraid of offending power. We’re afraid of losing access. We’re afraid of another baseless lawsuit... "There is a fine line between being a team player and being an accomplice...” www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

Thousands in downtown Tucson AZ today walk out of work and school...

Union soldiers died to end slavery. Marchers died to secure the vote. The Roberts Court decided their sacrifice didn’t matter.

May Day: There were huge anti Trump protests all across America. Did you hear about it in the corporate media?

HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of people are in the streets in DC as part of the #MayDay day of action and solidarity. We refuse to cooperate with a regime that is killing people, ignoring the law, and destroying our rights.

Democrats have no choice because of the corrupt GOP Supreme Court but to eliminate all GOP congressional seats in every Blue State. I'd prefer we didn't have to but if we don't the GOP Will have PERMANENT control of the House.

Countries where it’s illegal to criticize the president: • Iran • China • Russia • North Korea • The United States

🧨 NEW: Trump’s DOJ is preparing to weaponize the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act and challenge maps that protect Black and Latino voters — starting with California.

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

El Paso residents marched in front of Camp East Montana yesterday against the Trump administration's plans to expand ICE detention centers. They were joined by U.S. Army Sgt. José Serrano Arosio, who's wife Daisy Rivera Ortega, was detained during a routine immigration check-in. My story:
