Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United. The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections. The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

The Trump Regime has had their eyes on Cuba for a long time. Don’t believe *anything* they say about it.

The Mercer Family Foundation is not a charity in any meaningful sense. It is a political weapon wearing a charity’s dress. Read its IRS Form 990s on ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer - line by line, name by name, grant by grant -&watch a political plan unfold across 20 years. bsky.app/profile/skel...

Jon Ossoff: “With the attacks on the Affordable Care Act, you got health premiums skyrocketing. More than a quarter of a million Georgians have lost their insurance altogether in recent months.”

“A.I. has made super-high-resolution images so standard, he added, that they have lost all currency as signals of quality. Distinguishing oneself aesthetically requires letting conspicuous human effort show.” www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

A former federal judge RIPS apart Trump's $1.7B slush fund for January 6th rioters and political allies in a new court filing. Trump shouldn't be able to sue himself and steal our tax dollars. I'll make a prediction and go over the rebuke today at Noon PT / 3 ET here: www.youtube.com/live/6cmnPw6...

Dana Bash at the end giving credence to this “debate” is shocking. Whether to vaccinate your children against measles is NOT A LEGITIMATE POLICY DEBATE.

Not that I really expected anything else, but it's still worthy of observation that none of the prominent law profs who called for the students to be disciplined seem to have engaged at all with this firsthand account

Tom Steyer sells himself as “people powered,” but his history says billionaire-funded astroturf: paid influencers, alleged cash-for-endorsement offers, unauthorized access to Harris campaign data, and disclosure fines his fortune can shrug off. That’s not grassroots. It’s pay-to-play.

ZELENSKYY: Today, Ukraine conducted deep strikes against Moscow region, most heavily protected area in Russia. However, Ukrainian long-range capabilities already overcoming this defense. Russian war is returning home. This is a clear signal that one should not mess with Ukraine.

This young man if fighting the good fight! And the right is afraid of him. Go Justin. #sheshed

Their gutting of humanities may be reversed, but can the damage be repaired?

At a time when the world is heating and rivers and lakes are drying, data centers are positioned to make things much much worse. All so AI can be used to put people out of work, help Trump game the markets and make billionaires trillionaires. #Sheshed

Influencers are pushing Tom Steyer without disclosing that they have been paid to do so, which violates California campaign finance law. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/b...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're a great gardener. That plant should've tried harder.

“This isn’t how things are supposed to work in America,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointee based in New York. “Unquestionably, the laws of human decency condemn such villainy.” www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

checking in for a brief moment on the Rededicate 250 blasphemy fest and yep, it's beyond parody

My guess is the Trump Admin has a video of Fetterman with a prostitute in a motel or something. I can understand a dem having different views on foreign policy issues; but there are ZERO good reasons why a Dem would be defending Trump's $1B ballroom and other vanity grift projects.

An all-day prayer event on the National Mall on Sunday — backed by the White House through a mix of taxpayer funds and private donations — is the most recent flashpoint in the Trump administration blurring separation of church and state. https://cnn.it/494zU8t

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South & let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

Season Finale of SNL. Trump is visited by Epstein and SNL didn’t hold back humiliating Trump!

White Christian nationalism is a racist movement. "Christian nationalists, including Mike Johnson, 'are zeroed in on defeating democracy,' Rep. Jared Huffman added. 'Violence is a feature, not a bug, of this movement and we need to take it very, very seriously.'" huffman.house.gov/media-center...

“The way things are is not the way things will always be.” Yesssssssssss! Is Camille McCallum here?? 👀 I’m obsessed with your response. I want everyone infected with this energy! We can & we must be the ones to finish this fight. All roads lead to the South

115 of 195 U.S. ambassadorships are vacant. This isn’t efficiency; it’s sabotage. Diplomacy matters. Demand accountability for this reckless hollowing out of the State Department. #momsky

the christian nationalists on the Mall are going to be standing out there in 90 degree temps in a bit with no cover from the sun so that should be fun for them

Pope Leo offers a detailed message today to the tech bros, whose distortion of human interaction and communications is the source of many human problems today. Words worth reading. www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

I see folks like Todd Blanche, Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham on Sunday shows. There's plenty of evidence that they use such platforms to lie constantly. Giving them a megaphone to spread their lies is the opposite of journalism which is about seeking the truth. It's irresponsible & damaging.

US Constitution Art 1 Sec 8: Congress shall… have Power to keep quiet about War Operations Powers Act (1973): The president may initiate military operations when he feels like it, and if he does not receive Congressional authorization after 60 days is obligated to change the name of the operation

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

A $100 billion AI data center in northwest Utah just got county approval despite nearly 4,000 complaints. It would span 40,000 acres and require 9 gigawatts of power — more than the entire state currently uses.

And he’s an actual doctor who voted to approve RFK Jr….

The Ecuadorian poet hoping to lead the UN – and win over Putin, Xi and Trump Isabel Coles writes: María Fernanda Espinosa is among five candidates vying to succeed António Guterres and make the organisation relevant again https://bit.ly/3PuujBM

I love and respect this scientist. Carl Sagan answers a question about creation vs evolution.

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...

This is partly your fault @ebu.ch. You bear responsibility for whitewashing genocidal Israel as it continues to commit crimes against civilian populations. #Eurovision 😠

Poland was blindsided on Wednesday by the surprise U.S. decision to cancel a planned deployment of American troops to the country. But it turns out the warning had already arrived days earlier.

Doesn't this mean consumers don't like what they're selling?

Listen to the women from elevate Utah on the humongous and horrendous data center Kevin O’Leary is trying to build in Utah Also they’re on this episode of fast politics pod podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Tennessee Representative Justin Pearson who was apprehended by Alabama police with his brother while fighting against Jim Crow maps took the stage at #AllRoadsSouth and said: "you can rig a map but you can't rig a movement." #FreedomSummer2026

Harrison Ford’s commencement address.

You’ll notice the American state media and scumbags like CNN’s propagandist Jake Tapper spent every day attacking President Biden whilst he did good work yet refuse to mention that the orange felon is set to steal billions of taxpayer dollars to gift to his criminal allies.
