Colorado Democrats need to impeach Gov. Jared Polis

used to see 2 or 3 of them walking. Now, most of them wander around in packs of 5. Literally just wandering around. I guess will see them in packs of 15 or 20 soon Adams Morgan is a better option for them than Kuwait these days, but Dan is absolutely right. They shouldn't be here

Trump is sending another 1,500 National Guard into D.C., making 5,000 young people total forced to leave their homes in order to mope around Metro stations and low-crime neighborhoods. It's idiotic. And it's a very bad precedent. The military doesn't belong on the streets of American cities.

@democrats.senate.gov should offer amendment to ICE/CBP funding to block any spending on this. Fetterman's wife was a Dreamer. Cornyn ran pro-Dreamer ad in 2020. Force a vote: Deported Despite DACA: Dreamers Face Uncertainty Under Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

Alito should recuse from Suncor v. Boulder, along with the parallel cases, as he has before. What I told @nbcnews.com: “The oil company petitioners in these cases have been explicit in court filings that they view the cases as linked; there is no reason for Justice Alito to view them otherwise."

WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK THIS FUCKING CROOK IS STEALING OUR SHIT!!! Literally picking our pockets to line his own and his friends'!!!! He is stealing THOUSANDS of dollars from my family in lost health care subsidies and higher costs. And yours!! We should all react accordingly!!!!

The group Win With Black Women is launching a grassroots campaign in response to the rollback of voting rights. The mass mobilization movement will start on May 16, when thousands will descend on Alabama. https://capitalbnews.org/black-women-mobilize-voting-rights-alabama/

On top of his $1 billion ballroom, Trump is now just stealing $2 billion in taxpayer dollars for a slush fund for his crooked friends. All while he makes massive cuts to health care, food assistance, clean energy, and everything that actually helps people.

“Voters blame him for the high cost of living and say (correctly) that his policies have been inflationary and reduced growth. A CNN/SSRS poll fielded April 30–May 4 found 77% say Trump’s policies have raised the cost of living in their own community.”

Trump's real glee isn't just violence — it's extrajudicial violence. the kind with no accountability. In the new Next Comes What, Andrea Pitzer makes the case that nonviolence is about building power that doesn't replicate what we're trying to stop.

Despite all the vote rigging news over the last 2-3 weeks, there is one thing I keep coming back to about Donald Trump: Nobody likes him. And you can't gerrymander yourself out of a bad approval rating. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-12...

Republicans just got some bad news about their plan to shovel $70 billion more to the regime’s secret police. We know that nobody wants more of their tax dollars going to ICE and Border Patrol. Democrats must keep holding the line.

“I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and helplessness of being denied permission to say goodbye to your dying son,” says Maribel Hastings, who writes that cancer has touched her closely. “Or Kevin’s anguish at not being able to be with his parents during his final days.”

Women having cars that they can get in and drive is also a scheme to undermine Dobbs. What are we doing here.

During Dr. Cedric's visit to Katsabara group in Virunga National Park, DR Congo, he had the pleasure of observing Kyusa, Ndekesiri's young baby! Kyusa and the other Grauer's gorillas of the group appeared to be in excellent health. Pictured: Kyusa

Justice Alito complaining about the Court granting a stay without any reasoning is, shall we say, rich? He's been in the majority in scores of such cases, many involving elections.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court HALTS the 5th Circuit's decision blocking telemedicine mifepristone nationwide. Alito and Thomas dissent. Thomas suggests that mailing abortion pills violates the Comstock Act. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Once again Democratic crypto shills Ruben Gallego (& Angela Alsobrooks) helped out Republicans in the Senate by advancing a crypto bill w/o any ethical restrictions on govt officials (despite the concerns around Trump). Gallego caved in the name of bipartisanship www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump's Iran fiasco worsening: *Officials leaking Trump hasn't destroyed Iran military *Allies running from admission he's not concerned with people's finances *GOP Senators breaking *Polls cratering On the pod @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social nails all these dynamics: newrepublic.com/article/2104...

How many hundreds of thousands of Africans does a man have to kill by yanking foreign aid to get called racist around here?

Genuinely astonished to see a Democratic elected official still saying this. NJ state Sen. Vin Gopal made these comments in a piece published *today* by @politico.com. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

what you have in Maine is a festering problem when JD Vance shows up sick, racist anti-immigrant asshole (and many of his fellow racist fucks think this about JD's wife and kids...and he knows it)

vance making his bid for the groypers

JD should go up to Aroostok County and tell them to stop speaking French in the United States of America...he won't cause they're white so that's ok

Elevate, Elevate Utah

Abolish them.

Texas is banning students from writing on LGBTQ topics and removing any references to gender identity and sexual orientation. You'll never guess what the author here hasn't covered but then immediately wrote this piece.

It is not at all a coincidence that the party that fetishizes performative displays of masculinity is made up of the most pathetic simps in the world

MTG, who is being hounded by far right conspiracy theorists bc she sold her house and is on holiday in Costa Rica, claims to have ONLY JUST learned that Benny is: 1) A plagiarist 2) Allegedly closeted 3) A Russian useful idiot

VA Gov. Abigail Spanberger Betrays More Than Half a Million Public Service Workers By Vetoing Historic Collective Bargaining Legislation; "The Governor thinks she knows what is best for workers, and that is precisely the problem. She is not listening to workers." bluevirginia.us/2026/05/va-g...

"A confidential U.S. intelligence analysis details how China is exploiting the war in Iran to maximize its advantage over the United States." The study "has raised alarm within the Pentagon about the geopolitical costs of Washington’s standoff with Tehran." wapo.st/43829zy

When white supremacists described the first black politicians winning elections in the South during Reconstruction, they too called it a "reign of terror" that innocent white people had to suffer under. Black leaders! Elected to federal office! Can you imagine the indignity?!

"The Court is blatantly changing the rules as it goes—and affording greater legal weight to Republican lawmakers’ desire to subvert democracy than Black voters’ right to participate in it."

aight I had more to say about this ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The White House and Wall Street are acting like the Iran war is going well. But they're wrong. Badly wrong. Trump isn't getting a deal. Iran has the upper hand. And It won't be too long before the economic problems are unignorable. My latest, in @ms.now, with comparison to the 1973 OPEC oil shock.

"Multiple others were recruited from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, allegedly during the many years of friendship between the now-president and Epstein." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It has. Somehow. Even for him

“It’s all made him even more paranoid,” says one longtime adviser to the U.S. president.

Donald Trump’s war on the press and leakers is on track to get much worse – and fast. Read the latest on Trump's fury against the press from @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/more-paran...

New from me @notus.com: Internally, FBI agents are now referring to a "payback squad" based in NY or DC. Its remit? Targeting former government officials. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

RIP to former NBA player Jason Collins, the first openly Gay, active, male pro athlete. Hard to explain what a big deal it was in 2014 when Collins signed with the Nets. He took number 98 in tribute to Matthew Shepard, the Gay teen murdered in a horrific hate crime. JC was brave and will be missed.

Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player who has served as a global ambassador for the sport, has died from brain cancer, his family said. He was 47 www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

“I don’t think about anybody” is a wild sentence for the president to utter

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
