President Trump shut down midtown Manhattan Monday so he could take a nap at the NBA Finals. trib.al/jYmu1oS

There are only 3 credible explanations for the president claiming every election he loses is rigged. He’s stupid, ignorant, or lying. @npr.org or the @nytimes.com could produce a story starting with their view from nowhere and conclude (without a hint of bias) that he’s stupid, ignorant or lying.

ABC thought if they showed him during the banner, New Yorkers wouldn't boo. They thought wrong.

Will this FUCKING test post finally work!!!

Some call it sleeping. I call it rehearsing.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Second try.

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of @minakimes.bsky.social

Understand what this means. Trump thinks Republicans are going to lose. When they do lose both houses, Trump will claim it makes no difference to him and he didn’t lose. He might even tank the GOP on purpose intentionally. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

My heart broke to see Americans fighting Americans in our streets yesterday. As I saw ICE agents tackling civilians and firing pepper balls into the crowd, I was overwhelmed by how broken we’ve become. We cannot normalize this violence. Here’s what happened at Delaney Hall: THREAD

Dr. Jonathan Reiner: "The president has severe daytime somnolence. He's fallen asleep in the Oval on multiple occasions & I was concerned he might have fallen asleep at Arlington. Chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects."

These are good reasons why my ideas were bad!

The Devil went down to Georgia.

When only 9% of people get your puzzle right, that’s a constructor problem not an attempter problem. @nytimes.com

Put it above the fold across the whole front page. They see it, why do they normalize it?

Why single out AIPAC and J Street out of all PACS? Have you created similar articles about PACs which are focused on efforts more directly affecting California? @charlesgaba.com

3. Trump purchased between purchased between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell Technologies stock on February 10. During an economic speech in Georgia nine days later, Trump told the audience to “go out and buy a Dell computer,” saying the company made “phenomenal products.”

A guy we know pitched a story to a mag about former skateboarders going back to their old haunt in middle age. My BIL(52)went with him as part of the story. BIL is now back home with a broken ankle and the writer is home with a broken vertebrae. The only possible way the story could have gone.

Well said internet hippo.

Classic win-now move. You have to give Pittsburgh credit for going for it while their championship window is open.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Unapologetic, unabashed anti-Semites. Toxic. Destructive. Self-defeating. Get out of my party.

Generations of doctors and medical researchers have studied childhood vaccines. Now an ex-heroin-addicted nepo baby whose brain was partially eaten by a worm is conducting a study of his own. When his work is done, America will have the full picture on vaccines.

He's a racist who purposely shows Black people at their worst to pour extra fuel on the racists who already hate us. He's probably hoping this will incite violence against Black people. Also because he feels inferior to Obama.

Happy 100th to a real one.

A judge dismissed a conspiracy charge against 4 remaining Broadview protesters. blockclubchi.co/4uzlxkG

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

I’m not a bigot. I’m not a transphobe. I’m not a misogynist. I try to think hard about to be respectful of others. I try to think hard about complicated things. I try to figure out the parts of the world I don’t understand. I try to help my community and my neighbors. I don’t know what else to do.

Gas is $4.56 a gallon Let's check in on what the president is working on today:

*louder* C-I-P! C-I-P! C-I-P!

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

The head of each branch of government is now run by lawless ideologues. That has to change. Flip the house and senate. Elect a new president. And take away the unwarranted power 6 SCOTUS justices have endowed upon themselves to ignore the law based on only their whims.

The new “I’m not a crook.”

Do I like the education/self-awareness level this discourse is at? Hell no. But it is clarifying insofar as it say to me that you have to be really direct, tangible, and relentless with telling people what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how it makes their life easier.

Trump is mired in an illegal war that's destabilizing the world while spiking inflation & immiserating Americans, a key part of the govt remains unfunded, & Rs who control Congress are fixated on...spending taxpayer $ for a vanity ballroom Trump vowed would be privately funded A complete clown show

The good news is, there are a lot of experienced, trained professionals on hand who can quickly gather all the appropriate facts and tell us exactly how this is bad news for the Democrats in the midterms.

If this is leadership, I would hate to see capitulation. If the Republican's drummed up opposition to gravity, the National Academy would stop speaking about it. 4/4

The tasteless, classless, orange clown is destroying our capital.

Holy crap, guys. His approval rating is down 300%.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

May God have mercy on our souls.

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

Jesse Jackson and Marvin Gaye playing one-on-one.

As I've said before: I *don't* think he's a Nazi. Hell, I don't even think he's antisemitic, per se. I *do* think he's an immature, shitposting, gaslighting manchild who likes to say & do offensive stuff to "rile up" people & who STILL doesn't grasp how painful much of what he's said can be.

Hey BlueSky, taking a flier here. Anyone know where to sell a full set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, leather bound and every volume in excellent condition?

At least stick some blue tape on the handle and write: Danger! Axe blades are sharp.
