On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

🔥 @repcohen.bsky.social : “Don’t tell me, John Roberts, The Supreme Court is not political. It is an arm of the White House. 🇺🇸 is being destroyed from within 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” #Memphis #JimCrow #RacistRedistricting

Religious freedom means freedom for everyone — not just government sponsored Christianity in public schools while every other faith is treated as “inappropriate” or “political.” Freedom of religion means freedom from state imposed religion.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Outside Stephen Colbert’s theater. A chalk message on Broadway in front of the theater, praising Colbert and criticizing Trump and CBS is washed away.

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

It's your Thursday morning news roundup! Hawaii Field Trip Report! Tabs, Thurs., May 21, 2026! www.wonkette.com/p/hawaii-fie... By Rebecca Schoenkopf @wonkette.bsky.social

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

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.

These brave January 6th officers are once again standing up to men who seek to destroy our country. We owe them a debt greater than a slush fund can pay out. apnews.com/article/irs-...

Important opinion by Judge Bates enjoins Trump Admin from acting on the OLC opinion that says the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional and they can shred away. Bates begins opin with quote from Orwell:"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.”

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

An attack on Black America is an attack on all of America. Remember: if they come for us, they’ll come for you next. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/u...

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

How are the voters of Virginia not able to decide what happens in Virginia? This is an attack against WE THE PEOPLE

One reason why violent men go unpunished is because right wing extremists see horrific acts of violence by men against women and respond by demanding deadly laws against women.😐

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

Americans may insist that they dont have concentration camps But remember Germans said the same thing

Incredible wisdom from an incredible woman.

None of this would be happening right now if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6th like he should have

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸

After FIVE MONTHS on the job, Zohran Mamdani has delivered a BALANCED BUDGET for NYC, without cutting services or raising overall property taxes. HE DID THAT!! He cleared a 12 BILLION dollar gap by managing spending, getting a bigger slice from the state and closing loopholes. He did it while

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Rock In Peace Jack Douglas, known to many as one of the great rock and roll producers of all time - Douglas worked with Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Patti Smith, New York Dolls, Cheap Trick, The Knack, and dozens of others. Gone to that big control room in the sky.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-Va) spoke to SiriusXM radio's Dean Obeidallah where she slammed the former Confederate & Jim Crow States now rushing to erase Black voting strength youtu.be/TIn-sAHNeTY?...

🔥 @chelseahandler.bsky.social : “Now that your favorite leader is making the draft mandatory, I assume all of you will be signing up to go fight in Iran… Or do you tough-talking pussies only go to the Middle East for comedy festivals?”

Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps. Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.

I think Colbert would be a good President and a formidable candidate

"If you give the rich tax breaks, they'll lower prices for everyone else." No, they won't. Want proof? Every single MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax breaks every year. And it now costs an average $225 to attend a game.

Two photos. Same room. Same flags. Same astronauts. In one, the President stands with them, smiling, centered, human. In the other, the President sits scowling, rambling, diminished. Four astronauts. Two presidents. And the faces tell you everything.

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

"Why is it controversial to step in when someone’s getting bullied and try to stop it?” —Billie Eilish Kudos to Billie for speaking out and for standing up to the bullies. We could use a lot more of that these days.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

BRENNAN: The shooter had multiple weapons. You said he traveled from CA across the country by train. How did he do that? BLANCHE: This isn't about making laws more restrictive BRENNAN: I'm asking about crossing state lines w/firearms BLANCHE: I don't think that's something we should be focused on

Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

Why would they resume the program without knowing whether the gunman acted alone?

Shots fired, the Secret Service rushes in, and they let Trump continue to sit there? And now they’re going to resume the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and Trump still plans to deliver a speech? I’m not saying this was staged to boost Trump’s tanking approval numbers, but it looks odd.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Congratulations to @stephenking.bsky.social for this well-deserved honor!👍 (Novels/Novellas: Approximately 65 to 67 Non-fiction books: 5 books. Short Stories: Over 200 Pseudonyms: 7 novels were published as Richard Bachman. Frequency: He has published at least one book almost every year since 1974)

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.
