Today we honor the Americans who gave their lives for this country. The democracy they died for is ours to defend. #memorialday

Hahaha state media is saying there was a “riot” when literally it is a hunger strike. Fuck CBS. There is no riot.

By doing their own partisan redraws in blue states, Democrats could emerge from Trump’s redistricting war with an advantage over Republicans. But it won’t be easy. Here are some of the roadblocks for Democrats when it comes to redrawing congressional maps:

Trump demands multiple countries sign diplomatic deal with Israel as part of any Iran peace plan Source: The Independent Bibi’s pulling the strings

💢 6-year-old girl and a woman killed in Israeli attack on tent in Khan Younis The US continues to facilitate Israel’s daily killing of Palestinian civilians, through full military and political support as Israel ignores the Trump-brokered ceasefire. Minattallah Nabil Abu Libdah, 6, was killed...

In the last year, ICE has deported nearly half a million people. Killed dozens. Disappeared tens of thousands... These 27 protest songs are soundtracking the movement to stop it — alongside the 23 tracks we shared on May Day crooksandliars.com/2026/05/27-m...

Today, Trump failed to name 14 of the 15 soldiers who died during his Iran war.

Trump "blinked" for a long time during Pete Hegseth's Memorial Day speech

I try not to Trump post much because wtf can you say at this point but this was the rare I Can’t Believe This Motherfucker Said That moment, so late in the game

Those accords have done a bang up job driving no peace into the region

The key here is that the cost of tariffs to consumers lies not in “who paid” the tax itself, but the market distortion caused by that tax. Those losses are actually greater, resulting in a net loss to the economy as a whole.

"Technology is not simply a tool. When it becomes the standard by which everything is judged, it begins to dictate what matters and what can be discarded, reducing creation to an object of exploitation and human beings to mere cogs in a system driven toward ever greater efficiency." - Pope Leo (92)

If you’d told me 15 years ago that in 2026 Donald Trump would be the Republican president and that I would be reading papal encyclicals muttering “fuck yeah, this Pope really gets it,” I would have laughed in your face. And yet here we are.

Pope Leo has released his first encyclical, on AI.

I do remember. It was 2 months ago.

So maybe “Coach” doesn’t know what Memorial Day is and would rather give criminals who beat police and attacked the US Capitol a billion dollars of your hard earned money. Most might say this is unbelievable…..

Welp

oh man I can’t believe the Enhanced Games are actually happening lol. wow I wonder who would win between an insane person who has dedicated their entire adult life relentlessly training to become the most perfect athlete for their chosen sport and a guy who wanted to skip that part

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

For a growing number of rich Americans, holding multiple citizenships and residencies is an insurance policy against economic and political uncertainty in the U.S.

We have no choice.

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel is blowing up entire villages and residential neighborhoods in Lebanon, killing 200 to 300 civilians every 48-96 hours, calling it a ceasefire, and proudly sharing the footage of international law violations online, with absolutely no consequences.” M.S. (UN)

* IRAN DEAL WON'T BE SIGNED TODAY, US OFFICIALS SAY @bloomberg.com

Under the Trump administration, a government watchdog agency for a specialized sector of the financial markets has purged career officials, dialed back crypto enforcement and boosted industries in which the president’s family is heavily invested, a New York Times investigation found. trib.al/8CPnHzh

This is Adam Hoffman, a 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney. He faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy. Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail & no sex offender status. A judge increased his sentence to 60 days. Not an immigrant. Not a trans person. Not a Black or brown person

Missouri Republicans are organizing a referendum that would make citizen initiatives basically impossible to pass: boltsmag.org/missouri-ame... They’ve decided to schedule it for August, not November: missouriindependent.com/2026/05/22/m...

why are people arguing about bluesky this morning? it’s a rainy day. you could be out there getting drenched and falling ill

Bullying works!

omg this is insane

Massie: "They used AI to create a video that showed me checking into a hotel room with AOC and Ilhan Omar and holding hands with them. It was actually very effective on the boomers. But here's the thing -- that's only gonna work for a little bit longer. The boomers are gonna leave this country."

Hassett claims record low consumer sentiment is "driven by Democrats who have Trump derangement syndrome"

Massie: "I don't think it's possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche and Kash Patel at the top, because they've effectively both perjured themselves by saying there's nobody else in the Epstein files."

One week after Trump started his war, he stated his objectives on Truth Social.

No it the fuck was not.

I unfollowed everyone on Twitter when I left, so when I go back now it's just the default settings of (1) right-wing grifters, (2) porn bots and (3) accounts that take random two-minute clips from movies and slap weird AI narrations over them.

So Trump blew up Obama's deal with Iran, launched a new war, depleted our arsenal, cost us tens of billions, exposed the US as weaker to the world, and ended up just going back to a version of Obama's deal but worse? Do I have that right?

Iran’s official military spokesperson Ibrahim Al-Fiqar shared this AI-generated image of Donald Trump bowing before Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with the caption “The end..”

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

It isn't even a pivot. They've been doing this from day one.

Oman getting billions of dollars after doing nothing

JFK completes mostly successful Dallas parade.

never forget that really exceptional journalism saves fucking lives

I wrote about billionaires whining about Mamdani and the teeny tiny tax he wants them to pay on their multimillion dollar pied-a-terres. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

they can't fire the coders now that the token costs are going up so they'll try to fire the woman-coded departments next

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. Mr. Trump’s Presidency will be all but over — except for impeachment 3.0 — if the GOP loses control of Congress .. “.. Does he want his remaining legacy to be a ballroom, an Arc de Trump, and payoffs for his friends ..?” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

What if - oh, nevermind

You know Trump is about to do something diabolical because MAGA is lying their ass off and pretend Iran targeted Ivanka
