TRUMP: Tom, how good a president is Trump? HOMAN: Greatest president of my lifetime. I got a question for the construction workers -- are you all legal? WORKERS: Yes sir

NEVER FORGET, none of this is acceptable. Ever. Thanks @atrupar.com for continually, perpetually, faithfully bearing witness and posting reminders.

I don’t think Americans with hypertension and various other treatable conditions deserve to die. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

The FBI director allegedly travels with a stash of personalized bourbon branded with his name, according to a report from The Atlantic.

Setting aside the moral atrocity being committed here: they're burning all of this political capital for one (1) additional Republican seat

🔥

The golden age of corruption.

A win! A panel of federal judges ruled that Trump had violated the law when he imposed a 10 percent tariff on most U.S. imports. This is the second time courts have struck down his broad tariff agenda this year.

The far-right Supreme Court voted to gut the Voting Rights Act, and now Black people in Memphis are looking at a map that could be from the days of Jim Crow. Civil rights, fair representation, and multiracial democracy are on the line. (1/2)

A science voice in Washington means having someone who will fight for us when funding for health issues that disproportionately impact our community is under threat.

"Looking back now, it’s clear that the desire to undo the Civil Rights Era — and even restore the Confederacy to a place of honor — never disappeared. It was sometimes set to the side and reshaped, but they kept the fire burning with unwavering attention."

Early voting is underway in Georgia and we're all-in on sending Dr. Jasmine Clark (a mother, biologist, educator, and state legislator with a long history of standing up to Republicans) to Congress. No matter where you live, you can help us contact voters in GA-13 and get out the vote for Dr. Clark!

Just great 😳⚕️

"The right never lost their faith that if they were patient and determined enough, the 1960s could be undone — and maybe some of the 1860s too. They knew that even after a statue of a slaveholding traitor is torn down, defeat is not permanent. In fact, that statue may *literally* be raised back up."

REPORTER: Your message to drivers who are on the fence about a summer vacation? SEAN DUFFY: You've seen a president who is willing to address a nuclear Iran

I care about Iran. What I don’t care about is a man who scrapped a deal that was working simply because his envy and racism couldn’t allow our only black president to solve a problem.

John Roberts OWNS every decision from his disastrous Supreme Court. I HATE him so much

Kristi Noem was fired from DHS in March. It is May. She is still living in a Coast Guard house on a military base in Washington, taking housing away from a career officer and his family. The Trump administration cannot explain why. She needs to pack her cosmetics case and go home. Corey too.

Trump and Rubio are decimating the ranks of career, non-partisan professional diplomats to bring in loads of newly-hired MAGA partisans. It is hard to describe how seriously this is damaging US security and our ability to anticipate and react to world events.

In a packed Capitol Hill room, survivors, family members of Virginia Giuffre and their allies demand accountability, systemic reform and an end to the silence that has long protected powerful perpetrators. msmagazine.com/2026/05/06/c...

"The bottles bear the imprint of the Kentucky distillery Woodford Reserve, and are engraved with the words 'KASH PATEL FBI DIRECTOR,' as well as a rendering of an FBI shield. Surrounding the shield is a band of text … featuring his favored spelling of his first name: KA$H."

Fuck Kevin O'Leary. Did you know this data center will be twice the size of Manhattan and use more electricity than the rest of the fucking state COMBINED? More than an entire US STATE.

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

Exclusive: FBI Director Kash Patel has distributed “Ka$h”-branded bottles of bourbon to bureau staff and civilians, multiple people in Patel’s orbit tell Sarah Fitzpatrick. theatln.tc/n62c70PM

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://newrepublic.com/post/210013/fbi-investigation-atlantic-reporter-kash-patel-drinking

Hantavirus getting most of the headlines, but nothing is as transmissible as measles Having a case in NYC is bad; only question is how many secondary cases it leads to, which depends on how many unvaccinated people the case encountered. There are pockets of EXTREMELY low vaccination rates in NYC...

Imagine having all the opportunities of being Musk, Bezos or Trump and deciding to use all of that to just be an absolute shit of a human being.

Josh Marshall: The complement to killing the filibuster and reforming the Supreme Court has to be criminal accountability for the corrupt members of the Trump administration. There's simply no other way forward.

Protests erupted on Wednesday in Nashville as Republicans in Tennessee raced to slice up their state's sole Democratic district covering the majority-Black city of Memphis. Mother Jones’s @garrisonhayes.bsky.social is on the ground at the State Capitol covering the upheaval:

BREAKING: The Alabama House voted 75-29 to pass legislation that could change the state’s congressional map during ongoing primaries — a last-minute attempt to diminish Black voting power before the midterms in light of SCOTUS’ ruling last week. The measure now heads to the state senate for a vote.

“With access to real names, email addresses and even teacher-student messages, the next wave of phishing will not be generic. It will reference real courses and real conversations, which makes it far more likely to succeed.”

Results are in for Issue 5 in Columbus. Congrats to Jackie Bird, Cheryl Grossman, Chana Wiley, and everyone in this group who collected signatures, canvassed, wrote postcards, and worked “office hours” for this issue. It’s exciting to have a win – and to know ICO was a part of that victory.

Hats Off to the Knitters! ICO members Mary Tuominen and Gail Burns just finished knitting the last of the Norwegian resistance hats. Their efforts resulted not only in hats for resistors but also close to $850 that they have generously donated to ICO.

This should be a bigger story. Nina Burleigh: Timothy C. Parlatore, the lawyer who handled Trump’s classified documents case in Florida, hired Epstein’s lifelong attorney, Darren Indyke, into his firm just days after the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago to retrieve classified documents Trump purloined.

Someone should take his keyboard away. You would if this was your dad. FFS. No human decency.

Look I'm no political strategist but it seems to me that when the President's chief financial advisor is going around gleefully talking about how great it is that everyone's spending more on things and that credit card spending is up, that would be useful for opposition political messaging...

Biden gas (9/11/24) vs Trump gas (5/5/26)

"Federal agents are conducting a raid at the office of L. Louise Lucas, a Democrat who serves as Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore." Lucas, one of Virginia's most powerful lawmakers, was at the forefront of the state's redistricting fight

It happened again. The most corrupt administration in history.

Independent estimates warn the Iran War has cost $72B so far — nearly triple what Trump's DoD has admitted. That's over $1 billion per day. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want affordable housing. They want their basic needs met.

Breaking News: Tennessee Republicans unveiled a new congressional map carving up the state's only majority-Black district, likely giving their party the ability to flip the state's lone remaining Democratic seat.

But the attack on the marchers at the Pettus Bridge ultimately failed. The incident so enraged the nation that it led almost directly to the passage of the Voting Rights Act a few months later. nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stor...

If racism is no longer a problem, then why are all the states rushing to redistrict after the Supreme Court ruling all in The South? And all the people pushing to redistrict all White? 🤔🤔🤔

JUST IN: Trump files to stay 2nd Circuit's mandate in the $83 million defamation verdict E. Jean Carroll won against him. She doesn't oppose. Means she won't get that money til #SCOTUS turns down the case or decides to hear it. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

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