House Oversight Dems on Howard Lutnick's interview on his ties to Epstein: Rep. Yassamin Ansari called Lutnick a "pathological liar." Rep. Suhas Subramanyam said Lutnick could not remember why he visited Epstein's island. Rep. James Walkinshaw called the interview "part of the ongoing cover-up."

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

Looks like MBS and Trump broke up. Seems like it started back when the Saudis pulled out of LIV Golf. Now I’m curious what happens with the Saudi’s $2B investment in Kushner. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

People are already peddling ivermectin for Hantavirus. The same people had never heard of Hantavirus 3 days ago. We live in the dumbest possible timeline.

Rough dentist appointment

The better sign this deal within a week or he’s really gonna get mad and give them another month

This is definitely a good way to prove you're not a drunk.

I wonder if Axios realizes they’re being used to manipulate the markets multiple times a week

Hey look, oil prices are almost back to where they were before the market manipulation piece dropped

Yep yep. We can't have nice things until we fix the Supreme Court.

BIG: Democrats will control the Michigan state Senate through the remainder of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's term.

I personally love to read shit like "U.S. Pauses 'Project Freedom'" in headlines. Not all good jokes need to be complicated.

As someone who’s had shingles twice: this is just fucking evil www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Global oil reserves are being released at record pace, all to keep oil around $100 a barrel. This isn’t sustainable, and the administration has no plan to reopen the Strait.

Imagine being Hegseth and giving your stupid “red white and blue dome” speech, or Marco spending an hour defending Project Freedom only to have Trump yank the rug out from under you a few hours later. Insane.

Headline: White House close to one page memorandum to end war If you actually read the article: nothing has been agreed to yet Oil: drops anyway Mission accomplished.

Yeah, but they’re mostly black children. Elon Musk and the sort of people who support Elon Musk are, at best, indifferent to that.

Correction: Deleted this post. One of the judges in the majority withheld support for the mandatory detention part of the ruling, creating a 1-1-1 split on that issue. Circuits remain split 2-1 with rulings pending in virtually every numbered circuit.

Not at all shocked. The VA and Trump 1.0 investigated my Mueller podcast in August 2019. Litigation (still) pending™️

This is embarrassing for the United States. All the Republicans who screeched about Obama’s red line in Syria are just watching US forces - and our allies - get attacked like 🤷‍♂️

Im going to save people a lot of breathless debating. Was the ceasefire violated? Did one or both parties launch missiles, drones, or otherwise attack the other party? If yes, the ceasefire was violated. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Hegseth translator: Patriot = loves Trump Loves our country = loves Trump Support our troops = loves Trump Supports our nation = loves Trump Real American™ = loves Trump Proud of our culture and heritage = White supremacy and Christian Nationalism

This kind of hyperbolic language doesn’t help anyone. Several ships, and the UAE’s most important oil terminal were all hit yesterday. Also, calling this a “gift to the world” is like an arsonist bragging about putting out the fire they started.

Here are the Republican priorities. This is the budget reconciliation package the GOP has to pass alone because democrats held their ground and refused to fund ICE and CBP.

For Lindsey Graham, "victory" over Iran means restoring the situation that existed before the war began. That's a pretty bizarre definition of victory.

May 4th is always an interesting day because you'll see numerous Trump supporters online celebrate their Star Wars fandom, seemingly oblivious to all the themes and literally every storyline in the entire series.

This is so annoying

This is a terrific way to think about this. Southern Baptists used to stand at the forefront of fighting for the separation of church and state and always portrayed Catholicism as the greatest menace to freedom in America, and then they just became what they feared.

Trump’s now stating people might have to vote twice. They are attempting to create chaos as a setup for the midterms. This administration doesn’t care about free and fair elections. They rely on gerrymandering to cling to power, all to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 ICE kidnapping families all over San Diego today. Please keep your family members informed and safe. Stay vigilant, San Diego.

Trump is trying to find a way to ‘win’ the war in Iran without resuming strikes, because he’s finally getting concerned about polling. (Too late). That being said, I’m not convinced that’s actually an option. This is why I warned that there was no easy way to get out of this war BEFORE it started.

They tried, but I think it’s going to backfire in a big way. They’re taking a lot of ‘very safe’ R districts and watering them down in an attempt to give themselves more seats across the board. In a normal election, that might work. Right now? People are fucking pissed. Could end up with MORE blue

Most likely after 2028, honestly, unless we win midterms in a way that exceeds my expectations. Trump/Vance aren’t going to sign anything that gives it teeth again unless we can make it veto-proof.

Probably Gabbard first. It could be Kash, but Trump has a habit of punishing women before men. It’s kind of his thing.

500 is closer to what I’ve been hearing. They were hiding a lot of TBIs. They’re also vastly under reporting the bases and hardware that were damaged - CNN did a good job on that reporting this week.

Trump Friday: maybe we’re better off not making a deal with Iran Trump Saturday: I’ve rejected Iran’s ridiculous proposal Trump this morning: we very well could resume strikes on Iran Trump right before futures open: talks very positive! US will escort ships through Strait! 🙄

This was such a cool movie. Treated myself and went to the theater alone on Saturday to see it.

Trump’s war in Iran put Spirit out of business, and it’s likely going to make air travel prohibitively expensive. Gas is well over $4 a gallon, consumer confidence is in the toilet, and we have no plan to reverse any of it. Are we great again yet?

POTUS has a dentist on call 24/7. This is another weird disappearance around the first of the month for Trump.

Trump just said the quiet part out loud in Florida tonight. The war jacked up oil and gas prices, and he knows it. #TrumpsGasCrisis

It’s ok to strongly dislike Netanyahu. Hell, it’s ok to strongly dislike Israel as a whole. It’s not ok to blame all Jewish people for the actions of Bibi or Israel. That’s like blaming all Christians because Donald Trump is an asshole.

“Trump’s grip on the Republican Party faces these challenges” Stop it. Trump could waddle naked across the South Lawn screaming about how Obama was spying on him from inside the White House microwave, and the GOP would clap like obedient seals.

INBOX: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson + mayors of LA, Minneapolis, Seattle, Newark, & others to announce today the Haymarket Declaration, "a national statement of action affirming the role of cities in defending democracy, protecting workers’ rights, lowering costs, and supporting working families."

An important update: Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent. Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.

Hey @kenmartin.bsky.social what the hell?

He’s still bragging about his dementia test. Nobody has told him it was a dementia test yet. 🤦‍♂️

A majority of Americans say their financial situation is worse than it was during two recessions. Any more questions on why the GOP wants to keep people from voting?

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

This, tragically, makes so much sense. Thread:
