Incredibly important post - please read and, if you agree (and I suspect you will) repost and encourage others to do the same.

Well this should scare the shit out of everyone, 6 weeks ago the justice department adopted a new policy to allow the attorney general the power to send any federal prisoner to any federal prison in the country. Listen to Liz Oyer former pardon attorney for the DOJ explain.👇👇

Still relevant (and as always a banger - albeit one of her saddest) from @ellecordova.bsky.social:

If you're in line to make a historical reference about the collapse of the French defenses, please stay in line

I lost my job, my kids have measles, I can't breathe the air, and I'm infected with a parasite that the CDC stopped monitoring. But at least now there will be ball-tanning stations on America's military bases.

It's going to be lit when a future President assembles all MAGA compliant military leadership into C-130s, tells them they're going to a retirement banquet, and they find out they're landing in the Hague (all holding wrapped gift boxes of the DoD Law of War Manual with post-its on war crimes pages).

Just rake-stepping all the way down.

I need people to understand that this administration’s litigating position is (1) federal law currently mandates the detention, without bond, of every noncitizen who is allegedly unlawfully present and (2) constitutionally, they don’t get a day in court. they’re generally losing, but they’re trying.

This photo is one of the ages. And should be made famous.

Look, Catherine, when you put it that way... it almost sounds bad.

Thomas Massie: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we’re yelling ‘election fraud’? We won all the damn elections.”

Happy anniversary of that time the post office asked me to provide evidence that my package was not delivered.

REMINDER 200 days ago the DOJ was ordered to release all of the Epstein files.

When my Civ VI game gets really interesting

Right up there with "He was an interior decorator." Chris - "His apartment looked like shit."

I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it. From Reuters, published on the Guardian website.

Those Etsy witches do not play.

One was about American ideals of freedom and democracy, the other is about fealty to a self-appointed (with support from the Supremes) king. America's 250th seems more like a requiem for democracy than a celebration.

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

What did God unleash on Pharaoh after hail when he was angry? I just want to prepare.

Baby got back

new metaphor just dropped

Yep!

I’m on this motherfucker like white on rice.

Mexico is expecting some stiff competition. The English squad will be expected to have deep penetration, and is counting on having considerable success getting it into the box.

Tired: Pious B.S. Wired: Pius B.S. They're up on rocks/scorpions but a bit hazy on the why the Catholic Church isn't keen on groups ordaining their own bishops and talking to the successor of St. Peter by signaling "Your Holiness we'd like to wait it out until a more reasonable Pope comes along."

One of the BEST impressions of Jim Morrison I’ve ever seen! Jimmy Fallon! youtu.be/--RYPHqbD50?...

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

The correct statement for Dems to give is this: It is a relief that the Court reaffirmed the foundational principle that anyone born in America is unquestionably American. But the close split on this simple constitutional question reveals a body corrupted beyond repair by authoritarian bullying.

Spot - freaking on. Could not say it better.

The Supreme Court, by the barest of possible margins (5-4) concludes that the plain language of the Constitution - applied in a straightforward way since the 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War - actually says what it says and has always been understood to say. Hakeem Jeffries' reaction -

The Supreme Court Gives Donald Trump Full Control Over the Executive Branch, Except the Part of It that Impacts Their Retirement Portfolios

A whole lot of activists who did nothing but shit on the Obama and Biden administrations behind those issues should be feeling pretty stupid today.

What a waste.

Hey, hats off to DOGE that decided it would be a great idea to cut funding to keep this pest out of the U.S. I was already horrified when I thought it would just ruin cattle farmers and drive beef prices sky high. That, however, appears to be the dystopian amuse bouche. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Swawell dropped out of the CA Governor's race 51 days ago, beseiged by serious sexual misconduct allegations - yet will clear more than 10K votes by those who concluded he was still their #1 choice. And, for those candidates who get fewer votes than him - perhaps it's time for a new hobby.

No offense to my other awesome followers, but this is the greatest "new followers" paired notification I've ever received on Bluesky. Needless to say, this has me feeling extremely super, man, but probably shouldn't get all that caught up with the good news.

/22 Heads should roll. Careers should end. If DoJ won’t do it, the legal community should do it for them. This is appalling and unacceptable behavior throughout, at all levels of this office. The lower attorneys committed misconduct. Boutros was complicit in hiding it from the court.

Thomas Massie to his staffers bright and early tomorrow morning. "Hey guys, can you bring me the Epstein volumes and pile them up at my desk? Also, the details provided by the victims in direct outreach - I want to read them into the record." - "Wait, which volumes? There's 4 million pages."

Never accuse the Trump admin of not thinking outside the box - Mr. Ahmadinejad was known both for his hard-line policies and his often outlandish fundamentalist pronouncements, [saying] that there was not a single gay person in Iran and his denial of the Holocaust. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

Blanche was able to "sell" a grand jury in the Eastern District of N.C. (covering the Atlantic Coast beach involved with the charges) to indict James Comey for his allegedly threatening seashell message. So, technically "he sells seashells (indictments) by the seashore." apnews.com/article/come...
