Today I spoke with families in Hollis, Queens, many of whom say their lives and homes were upended by devastating flooding last night. I also met the city workers and emergency responders who are working around the clock to get this community back up on its feet.

I had the honor of sitting down with Opal Lee — the Texas legend who walked from Fort Worth to DC to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. At 99 years old, she told me: "I’m gonna keep on walking to show some youngsters how it’s done.” Thank you, Opal. We're walking with you. 💙

Democrats in Congress must use this as evidence in their battle to crush Trump's attempt to rob the Treasury. They must abandon all the fluff issues and concentrate on stopping the Trump regime's crime spree in its tracks.

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

They mattered, they helped, but they are not the reason Ukraine survived or kept its sovereignty. Ukraine survived because millions of us have been fighting and sacrificing for more than four years, against all odds and expectations. Our defenders are the main reason Ukraine survives.

Vance: ​"There's been no President who's done more to ensure that Ukraine survived invasion of Russia than Trump. As he said, 'Obama gave them sheets, I gave them Javelins,' and those Javelins ensured that Ukraine still has its territorial sovereignty." This is simply a lie. It was 360 Javelins.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

This makes no sense in a state where all constitutional amendments are decided by statewide popular vote virginiamercury.com/2026/05/08/s...

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Exactly this!!!

Here we have the Acting AG gaslighting the public into accepting voter intimidation by pretending it's just common-sense election security. "Why wouldn't everybody support that?" Because it's illegal under 18 USC 592--the very law you're paid to enforce and are openly defying.

Ansari: Lutnick was also asked about the fact that he had said he believed Epstein would blackmail people. He said that he no longer believes that. And then, when pressed on why that is, he said it’s because he spoke with administration officials.

Imagine being president of the United States, yet so easily triggered. It’s gotta be miserable for him. He always feels like a failure even when he won’t the presidency. His dad did a number on him. He’s still a little boy. It would be heartbreaking if he wasn’t damaging the country

... LBJ explained this in the 60's ... It's the Oldest Trick in the book ... Racism = Votes ...

The people saying that gutting the Voting Rights Act has nothing to do with racism are the same people who say overturning Roe v Wade had nothing to do with women

Tomorrow morning, we will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

"I'm the first Indian person to suck at their job" lol Aziz Ansari as Kash Patel is comedy gold. #SNL

My conclusions were made seconds after I saw a headline but it's good to know the facts.

💫 Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunner Maksym shot down a Russian cruise missile for the first time, does not hold back his emotions!

🕯🕯🕯

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Hungary… WOW 🤩🇭🇺

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕 Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us

Polish President Nawrocki at CPAC: "Russia represents corruption and violence" Attendees erupt in applause.

He forgot that Congress is a thing. TBF, Congress also forgot that Congress is a thing...

Recordings of conversations between the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Russian Foreign Minister have appeared online.

🇺🇸🇵🇱 The U.S. has asked Poland to send one of its Patriot missile batteries to the Middle East, but Warsaw says no. 🗣️Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz: “Our Patriot batteries are used to protect Polish skies and NATO’s eastern flank. We have no plans to relocate them anywhere.”

So true it hurts.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Eric Swalwell — “I don't say this lightly: when we escape this trump hell there needs to be a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president."

Oh look! JD Vance ‘eliminating fraud.’ Oh wait… those are just the convicted fraudsters Trump PARDONED in the past year.

Pam Bondi Investigated Sex Trafficking In Florida US Attorney General Pam Bondi was Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 when Epstein was raping children. His Victim settlements were often in the Miami News. Why didn’t she investigate and arrest Epstein for Raping Children in Florida?

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

🚨 Hungarian investigative journalist Szabolcs Panyi published transcribed communication between Hungarian FM Péter Szijjártó and Kremlin fascist Sergey Lavrov in which they conspire to subvert the election in Slovakia with Russian help. Hungary and Slovakia are both NATO/EU members.

BREAKING: Democrat Brian Nathan will win the Florida State Senate District 14 special election, flipping the seat from red to blue. This is a district Donald Trump carried by 7 points in 2024. It’s also the second Florida seat Democrats have flipped tonight.

With a margin of 797 votes, as of right now, we flipped Florida house District 87! This is Donald Trump‘s home district, which he voted by mail in this week. Trump will now be represented by Emily Gregory Never think your vote doesn’t count. If 797 people had thought that, we would’ve lost. 1/2
