One of the most telling and horrifying pieces I’ve read in some time. @nytimes.com What A.I. Did to My College Class www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/o...

What irony: civics education and understanding are on the rise at the very moment everything being taught—“constitutional democracy”, “pluralism “—is being destroyed. In effect, you’re now teaching history not civics. @nytimes.com @dsallentess.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/o...

CJ Roberts is adamant that American opinion that the SCt is a political arm of the R party is wrong. So after using the shadow docket to advance a host of Trump actions, in one sentence, they reject the will of VA voters. Yeah, not political at all. apple.news/AJscZRcqLQeK...

Xi giving Trump rose seeds is a total flex. As in, “Now you can go replant that Kennedy Rose Garden you turned into Motel 6 pool deck.” And of course Trump had no clue he was being mocked.

Ceasefire? Not so much. One cargo ship sank, one seized and being taken to Iran. They are playing him.

Excellent, forward looking piece @jamellebouie.net I have long resisted major institutional change (e.g. end filibuster). I’m now convinced necessary for a return to US democracy. The only road to that is sweeping D victory. R’s too drunk on Trump/power. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/o...

Props to Ethan Thomas. Well said. apple.news/AFurghr5ARvW...

The parallels are stunning—Trump’s UFC fight: enslaved men fighting for the amusement of the emperor, his wealthy cronies and to distract a nation crumbling under his reign. All that’s missing is Nero’s fiddle. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The most telling aspect, he was gone for seven months—while gas prices soared, planes crashed, an airline went bust—and no one noticed he was awol. www.cnn.com/2026/05/09/p...

If I’m correct the VA emergency appeal to US SCt places this on shadow docket. CJ Roberts just criticized the American public for viewing the Ct as political. This case now gives him the opportunity to demonstrate the Ct isn’t political. I don’t recommend holding one’s breath.

Officiating in the Knicks-Philly games is really sketch

Trump motto: if it ain’t broke, totally f*ck it up. Like as much as f*cking possible.

More Trump-Jesus. Because sacrilegious blasphemy worked out so well for him and his ilk last time.

Dear Mr. McCracken and Fast Company, No. We are not all on Truth Social. A tiny # of people capturing his delusional rants an oxymoronically named platform does not reflect any actual heft or real legitimacy. Please stop trying to inflate its worth. @harrymccracken.com @fastcompany.com

Asked why the case had taken almost a year to charge, Blanche and Patel said it required extensive investigation. Lead investigator/Agent, “if you listen really carefully you can hear the ocean. It’s way cool”

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

The King has given a us a direct to our face wake up call. This is what you are supposed to stand for. The rule of law. Democracy. Diversity. Alliances. Faith that promotes values. Free trade. Checks and balances. Subtle only on the surface. Well said Your Majesty.

The other day there was a shooting a few miles from my home. I was never in jeopardy but somehow I bravely survived. This is yet another example why some say I’m the chosen one. And this proves why I need a new BBQ grill.

Tonight on 60 Minutes the President said, “I’m not a rapist.” One problem the Judge in the Carroll case said he was convicted of rape. So yeah, you are a rapist.

Let me guess, his ear is bleeding Live Updates: Trump Rushed Out of Dinner Amid Reports of Shots Fired www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

BREAKING: > Dept. of "War" redeploying horse cavalry. > USPS to redeploy Pony Express for mail deliveries. > HHS will approve licensing of witch doctors as medical practitioners. > FCC to ban cellphones and launch national carrier pigeon service.

what he did was wrong but punishing him while others way more senior and Trump-linked are making tens of millions on such “bets” is ridiculous. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Dershowitz who proclaims himself a Constitutional scholar is turning R because D’s are “anti-Israel”. Who cares R’s are destroying this country. MIGA!

The day when all this gold Temu junk is torn down should be America's equivalent of Bastille Day.

All for ending this war. But: > Iran out-played Trump w/ no nuclear capability; > $20B buys a lot of top-flight conventional weapons (Air defenses; drones; LRMs; MRMs); > Trump has shown nuclear threat is big, but not only "cards", and often hollow. These terms are a major strategic problem.

Former boss (respected 4-star) had leadership mantras, incl: "The men eat first." DoD is rationing food to deployed troops--our dog eats better. Pres/SecDef/brass should be limited to rationed rations until troops are fed; No socials til troops get mail. Tin soldiers: Show some respect!

Heh anyone else think it’s odd that it’s been weeks and no one has seen the rescued pilot? Things that make you go hmm

Nothing says Christian like pulling funding for a Catholic charity that saves kids.

“So the prayer is Cesar 25:17: “I will beguile you with false prayers of vengeance in the name of a false prophet who will appear to you cloaked like the savior but will lead you to your demise” x.com/clashreport/...

JD Vance says the Pope shouldn’t get involved in policy, but no problem with DHS posting about “One homeland under God” and churches. That makes total sense. Not

I know I’m going to get grief but this is the most mixed up, bad branding ever. It’s like a team called the Eagles with a Lion on their helmet. It makes no sense. I’m not a fan of either name but at least pick one—ideally neither of these. #nfl #unis #commanders @wshcommanders.bsky.social

Thomas says this and on the same day J. Sotomayor apologizes to Kavanaugh for being harsh on him. Make this make sense www.newsweek.com/clarence-tho...

Great NYT oped by James Grimaldi, a great journalist and good friend. Must read Trump Has Pope Derangement Syndrome www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/o...

Excellent piece by a wonderful writer and friend Trump Has Pope Derangement Syndrome www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/o...

Not to mention he only ordered for himself. So rude.

High school lax team took their senior photos at Waffle House. Epic.

The irony is epic. Trump can break every one of Christ’s teachings and that’s no big deal. But post a meme of him as Christ and they’ve got real issues. The ultimate form over substance.

Thinking back to 2022-23 remember how so many R’s and media said Trump wasn’t crazy, wouldn’t do half what he said. Crazy thing: He’s way more batshit crazy than anyone thought.

Azalea cocktails for the Masters final round. Watching? Will Rose get the green jacket? Will Rory repeat? Playoff?

The decline continues. He can barely make it down the stairs. He has no more ankles, the ankles have taken over. And the jacket is looking tight--seems like he has gained back the weight. www.local3news.com/regional-nat...

An Open Note to Chief Justice Roberts: With all due respect, this is your legacy. You did this. You created a Monarchical Executive that is above the law. You have defiled the Constitution you swore to and were entrusted to uphold.

Next “big” wins: Trump attacks Cuba, ends up with US handing over Miami’s Little Havana and 1/3 ownership of LA Dodgers. Trump attacks Greenland, ends up giving Denmark Maine and a royalty on all saunas in US.

You can't make this up. Trump wants to set up a joint venture with Iran to charge a toll at the Strait of Hormuz. He ripped Obama for giving their money back, now he wants to partner with them charging a vig on oil. A vig American consumers will pay at the pump. thehill.com/policy/inter...

"Total victory?" Was that before or after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again? How can anyone take you at all seriously? thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I used to love Poe’s quote, "in an insane world, the most insane are most sane". Except now that has been proven false. This is insane and the most insane man and his followers are throwing gas on that fire.
