Mamdani: "The first album I was ever given was a clean version of 'The Blueprint,' which is unfortunate. I learned about the importance of freedom of expression."

ICE cannot be reformed. ICE cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished. Our new ad shows I'm the ONLY candidate in this race who will stand up to ICE.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration intends to “dismantle the ICC” and weaken the International Criminal Court “brick by brick,” as the administration grows increasingly worried about prosecutions after they are out of office.

Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A totally unprecedented 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints. I'm voting NO.

This:

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

78 House Democrats helped pass the CLARITY Act last year — our senators can’t make the same mistake. Demand that your senators oppose the toothless CLARITY Act and push for real crypto regulation instead.

Trump on Lindsey Graham's death: "This is a big blow to the SAVE America Act, let me tell you"

My lasting image of Lindsey Graham will always be when he theatrically declared “Count me out. Enough is enough!” after January 6th — and then got back in with Trump more than ever before for Trump 2.0

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Memphis is under siege from the federal government. This is hideous.

🎯 @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social : “Any senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche should know — you’re now part of the cover-up. You’re complicit in the cover-up if you vote to confirm the Todd Blanche for attorney general, who has led the cover-up of the Epstein Files.”

Remember when Biden called Zelensky “Putin” ONCE and it was a headline on every news site?

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity

“A conservative estimate would be 300–600 hours of airtime specifically focused on Hunter Biden and alleged Biden family corruption between 2020 and 2024.” “They also spent more than twice as much time discussing Hunter Biden as Donald Trump’s indictments” @hunterbiden.bluesky.bot

I know what America can do. I want her to do it for ALL her children. This land was made for you and me. Here’s to the next 250, America.

Fight for freedom. Fight for economic equality. Fight for a good life. #Bernie

When is someone going to tell Trump that Iran is dragging him for fun at this point... It's such an embarrassment. #Iran #Trump #Hormuz

The record-breaking heat that's scorching Europe day and night this month would not have been possible without climate change, according to a new study.

A Democrat has headed the FBI for 79 days in the past 90 years en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directo...

It will be very important for the next Dem president (2029 or 2053, whatever) to appoint a Democrat as permanent FBI Director, which has still never been done

This confirms what the CDC leader said before she was fired. Kennedy wanted the science to be cooked until it aligned with his politics.

#SCOTUS reform NOW!!!! This court is anti-citizen.

Billionaires want us fighting so we don't raise their taxes

If there are a million people yelling that tax cuts caused the debt problem, then I'm one of them. If there is one person yelling that tax cuts caused the debt problem, then I'm THAT ONE. If no one is yelling that tax cuts caused the debt problem, that means I'm dead.

Sweden and the Netherlands settle the argument: Billionaires and universal healthcare with a strong social safety net can coexist. It’s not capitalism vs. socialism, but capitalism works when built atop a foundation of empathy and equity.

NEW: The administration is defying Congress on foreign aid that Trump himself agreed to spend. “It is a huge grab of power from the president, taking powers away from Congress,” said David Super, a leading scholar on administrative and constitutional law.

This is indispensable reading -- what judges are saying about the Trump Administration's behavior in court.

Trump could have multiple Supreme Court vacancies to fill in the next two years. If we don't replace Susan Collins in November, we could have an extremist Court locked in for a generation.

Where is the press? “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.” Rep. Ted Lieu

We’ve received $9.6 million from 265,000 small-dollar donations. Susan Collins received $9.8 million from 79 billionaires.

I’ve been sounding the alarm on this for MONTHS. Trump’s plan to expand offshore oil drilling along the California coast and into the Gulf of Mexico isn’t just a threat to our environment and our coastal economy. It is a direct threat to national security.

@spencerpratt.bsky.social for LA Mayor!!! youtu.be/lJVQeeeFJck

We cannot safeguard democracy if we do not democratize our economy! It’s time to reimagine the system — so it works for ALL people — our democracy depends on it.

"Neither former President Barack Obama nor Joe Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office..." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"A scale of family separations that far eclipses that of the first Trump administration’s 'zero tolerance' policy in 2018, when about 5,500 children were removed from their parents..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...

New from 404 Media: the FBI says it wants to buy nationwide access to license plate readers. This would likely mean the FBI could track vehicles, and by extension people, without a warrant. FBI offering $36m. Only really two companies could do it: Flock and Motorola www.404media.co/the-fbi-want...

TRUMP: Routinely falls asleep on camera, has unexplained injuries on his makeup-caked hands, regularly makes genocidal threats, posts nonstop AI slop, compares himself to Christ, goes on unhinged rants every time he appears in public THE ATLANTIC: "He's becoming purer"

@ms.now political analyst @basilsmiklephd.bsky.social on why “the midterms are not going to save us” – and what can be done about it

I’m not sure how or even if this type of mass stupidity can be combated - but we must repeat the truth. MAGA influencers falsely claim Officer Fanone’s body cam footage hasn’t been released when: a) it’s easy to find online & b) it shows him being assaulted by violent extremists loyal to Trump.

I used to think the constant contradictions in MAGA politics were weakness or embarrassment. I don’t anymore. The contradiction itself has become the badge of loyalty. The more obvious the hypocrisy, the more it proves you’ll defend the tribe no matter what. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Two Senate Democrats just voted with the GOP to advance a bill that serves the bad actors at the center of today’s crypto chaos. The CLARITY Act would only help Trump, billionaires, and foreign governments profit at our expense. Demand that your senators vote NO: indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Candidates in this race have a lot of talking points, but I'm the only one with plans to back them up. When I'm Governor, I'll implement tuition-free college degrees, eliminate state income taxes under $100,000, and make California a better place for families.

A study gets into “the earliest evidence of the impact of cuts to USAID on the incidence of violent events” which suggests that “the radical cuts…led to an increase in conflict in the regions that received the most aid from the US.” @beckyferreira.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doge-cuts-un...
