Way to go, Albania! 🇦🇱

The amount of corruption in this administration is astounding.

Derrick Coleman declined his Mobile Sports Hall of Fame induction, saying he could not accept the honor while Black voters face diminished representation under newly approved congressional maps. “We cannot settle for silence,” Coleman said.

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups are asking the Florida Supreme Court to block the GOP’s 2026 congressional gerrymander They warn Republicans are trying to “run out the clock” and force voters through another election under an unconstitutional map.

The $100milion that Trump owes and wants to get out of paying is also our money.

To be a useful idiot one must first be an idiot

Here are some of the many damning stories of Trump family self-dealing, corruption, and conflicts of interest that Bret Baier hasn't reported to his viewers after saying the press had a responsibility to do son.

We’re told wind turbines and solar farms are “ruining the view.” But massive data centers consuming land, water, and electricity get a pass. Somehow only one version of “progress” is treated like a problem. Make it make sense.

The Kennedy Center’s general counsel ordered staff on Thursday to remove President Donald Trump’s name from the building by June 12, according to a memo obtained by CNN, in order to comply with a recent court order. https://cnn.it/4uTzYkk

Spence a real one

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Signage throughout the building, along with furniture and branding bearing Trump’s name, is scheduled to be replaced, with all references slated to be removed by June 12.

The Kennedy Center is preparing to restore its original identity. According to an internal memo, attorneys for the institution have instructed staff to begin removing references to Trump from official materials and to once again use the venue’s full historic name

NEW: In a win for Virginia voters, a federal judge approved an agreement that prevents state officials from rejecting college students' voter registration applications solely for missing certain address information. The change will be in effect for the upcoming August primaries.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Over 30 times she deflected blame onto Todd Blanche. Why were redactions made? That's Todd Blanche. Why are 3 million documents still missing? Todd Blanche was in charge. When the full transcript is reviewed, it is very clear that she is deflecting to Blanche."

Graham Platner is an extremely imperfect person and candidate, but the corporate media feeding frenzy that's emerged to try to sink him as grotesque. I know this because I've done a deep dive on his past and therefore know how many claims being casually bandied about are false.

Bondi says Todd reached out to sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to chat her up.

One of the most competent politicians we’ve ever had, but stooopid voters screwed us.

Good grief 😂

We didn’t get just one dystopia - we got the streaming bundle.

Trump has no ceasefire in Lebanon despite his claims, no deal with Iran, no plan for the oil crisis, and his ballroom guy is in Russia showing Putin White House renovations. Your midday recap is here:

The whole point is that he is unqualified and will make us less safe. This isn’t a glitch. It’s the design. The US is to bend to its rivals abroad and collapse from within. For this he is the right guy! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Authoritative essay by leading election law expert. On how the Roberts Court's voting rights cases - now, most recently, the Alabama decision - have thrust the country away from multiracial democracy and toward the undoing of the Second Reconstruction. By Professor Pamela Karlan

DELBENE: You gave DOGE access to Treasury systems housing Americans' sensitive data. What specific measures, if any, have you taken to protect the affected individuals' data? BESSENT: Would you care to look up what does 'inadvertent' mean? DELBENE: You are in charge!

A frustrating false choice. As we've shown—with actual maps!—Democrats can target many Republican seats while respecting the VRA, even if SCOTUS no longer does. www.the-downballot.com/p/how-democr...

Trump continues his hard work today to bring down rising prices and solve the affordability crisis.

CHU: Was your prediction that Americans would face only 50 days of elevated prices wrong? We're at 100 days now BESSENT: How much has gasoline prices come down from the peak? That's an inconvenient fact CHU: Gas prices are up by 50 percent since Trump's war started

"officials keep insisting that they’re just a 'couple days' away from a deal with Iran. It’s almost..like the..Tom Hanks film,"The Money Pit,” where..contractors keep [saying] repairs will just take another 'two weeks'" Falsely promising to do something in two weeks. Why does that sound so familiar

Rep. Sanchez: "I think it's pretty safe to say that this is probably the most corrupt Treasury Department in our nation's history." Secretary Bessent: "I'm going to have to take exception to that — that is slanderous!"

Republican nominee for US Senate in NC Michael Whatley really loves the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team but when asked to name a single player on their roster twice he can’t do it.

🔥 @repshontelbrown.bsky.social to Trump’s Ag Sec Brooke Rollins: “You called it ‘GOOD NEWS’ 4.5 Million people were ‘MOVED OFF’ SNAP (food stamps) — they’re not leaving the program because they’re doing better… millions of Americans are going hungry and you’re saying it’s a success story.”🤔

Trump wants to give $1.776B we paid in taxes to these people: “At least 97 of the more than 1,500 individuals granted clemency by..Trump for their roles in..January 6..have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of crimes..since..the Jan. 6 riot.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Sen. Cassidy says the anti-weaponization fund "presents an immediate and dire threat to our constitutional order" in part because it "is designed to compensate ... insurrectionists." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What integrity looks like.

I am not saying this as a compliment, and it may be hard to accept as true because of how batshit is sounds but: Pam Bondi was as close to a “check” on Trump this term as you’re gonna get with this kind of administration Again: this is not meant as a compliment to anyone

There’s this strange phenomenon in America where so many politicians write books that almost nobody buys or reads but they still get paid a lot of money for them. I guess that’s just how free market meritorious capitalism works.

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

did not have a cory booker and bill cassidy joint amicus brief on my bingo card but the anti-weaponization fund really brings people together storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

According to Andrew Weissmann, Blanche using sleight of hand; they’re not killing the deal. Trump still gets $1.776 billion. He still gets a sweeping civil liability shield. They only removed the J6 slush fund piece. Same jackpot. Less scrutiny. Worse than before.
