That's weird; he told reporters he had nothing to do with the fund. Now he's saying he gave up a lot of money "allowing" it.

So if I understand this correctly… the GOP was gonna vote on a war resolution Bill, but when they saw that many of their members were gonna vote with the other side, they just canceled the vote??

Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...

1. Some progressives believe "the people" don't know the truth: since 2000, a Democratic president has handed off a pretty good or very good economy to a Republican, and that Republican has ruined it.

A federal judge just dismissed the case against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, ruling it a vindictive prosecution. Can he now collect part of that anti-weaponization fund? A judge even said it was lawfare ... From @politico.com: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Yesterday, charges were dismissed for myself and five others protesting ICE. Yes, it was a win. But it’s not justice. And it’s not over yet.

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.

When Elaine Weiss was working on her new book, "Spell Freedom," she thought she was writing history. But so many themes from this book are back in today's headlines.

Re: Trump's totally SYMBOLIC ask from the U.S. government for "1776" $$$$, for him to do with however he pleases? If passed (it won't be), it would represent his very own FINANCIAL "Independence" Day. Now THERE'S a jerk in no need of "ballmaxxing" - no matter how many MAGAts would love it. 😖🤢🤮🥊🧯

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

I think America needs to pass a law mandating voting. Other Democratic countries do it. It should be REQUIRED for every person to place a vote as their civic duty. Too many people checkout of politics, because they think it doesn't affect them. Making people vote would make them be involved.

NEW: An $11,000 golf cart. More than $7,000 on TV subscriptions. $1.5 million in office renovations. Those were among the expenses that one sheriff’s office billed to a settlement aimed at rooting out racial profiling in the department. With @azluminaria.org

Seems hella unconstitutional.

Who cares about the DNC report? It's one of a million opinions and theories, that frankly I am sick of hearing about. Everyone has an opinion about why we lost. I don't need to see a bunch of them in writing. I don't need to justify my vote for Democracy. It was obvious which way to vote.

SEN. TILLIS (R): “These people don't deserve restitution. Many of them deserve to be in prison. This is just stupid on stilts. Republicans need to speak up. This is beyond the pale… This is bad policy, bad timing, bad politics.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

You know, if I were taking lots of bribes, laundering money, and cheating on my taxes, I probably wouldn’t want the IRS to be able to audit me either.

CBS thinks they canceled Stephen Colbert. CBS actually canceled themselves.

Patriotic Americans should question what kind of person could support someone who starts senseless wars, is a serial adulterer, an admitted sexual predator,a pathological liar, a megalomaniac,has gone bankrupt six times, has 34 felony convictions, and — not to mention — is tied to the Epstein files.

This is a true statement and we’ve got to get the vote out to stop this madness.

Trump’s cuts to health care are putting hospitals like HCMC at risk. We’ve been hard at work in Minnesota to keep critical access hospitals open, but the federal government needs to uphold their part of the deal.

The Castro indictment seems like a bad-faith pretext for Trump to proceed with his plan to invade Cuba and turn it into a Trump condo resort. #FDT #ETTD

In America we have the right of free speech.

It should be explicitly clear from this presidential administration that we can no longer simply rely on decency from politicians and oligarchs. There MUST be laws that force them to be decent or they simply won't be.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

WATCH — @neguse.house.gov: “You can see why I would be very skeptical of a resolution that says ‘the Trump Admin’s focus on restoring law and order’ when his very first action in office was to pardon violent felons.”

Another example of how these data centers are being built so quickly 😳😳😳😳😡😡😡🤬🤬

Donald Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund isn’t just reparations for insurrectionists, it’s a downpayment on the next insurrection.
