Credit-card balances: all-time high. Applications for credit: four-year high. Delinquent credit: nine-year high. A "hamster wheel" of credit, says the NYT: @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/b...

Historian here exactly. The Dems need to learn from the no quarters given political tactics and campaigns of the Republicans in the 1850s and 1860s when they managed to upend half a century slaveholder dominance of the federal government.

This morning at Hancock High, seniors headed to the floor of the gym to receive their caps and gowns, each from a teacher they had chosen. Stacy Campbell waited there, holding her student Israel Makoka's cap and gown. But he wouldn't come. He and his brother, Max, 15, had been taken by ICE.

I’ve had time to study DOJ’s indictment of the SPLC now & it only gets more disturbing. A weak indictment, like the now-dismissed one against Comey & the one a grand jury declined to indict against members of Congress. I point out the likely ulterior motive: joycevance.substack.com/p/whats-wron...

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

This is bullshit. And I love that he’s aware that he crossed such a line that he has to lie about it.

At least 118 newspapers called for Clinton’s resignation in 1998 over the Lewinsky affair. Keep that in mind as we wait for even one to call for Trump’s

Just a reminder that the US ran the most expensive wargame in history concerning Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz because every expert knew it would happen in a US/Iran conflict and it requires careful strategy to resolve. But our President decided to Leeroy Jenkins it.

My husband finally got me to watch Band of Brothers. I’m in awe and have so many thoughts. We have always been fighting our own demons but we also represented liberation. How are we the same country. I genuinely have to ask would this administration have even been on the right side on D-Day.

NYT, WSJ, WaPo, FoxNews; a spectrum of headlines. Fox's makes me ill; WaPo's is craven; WSJ with the terror the Trump post deserves.

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

I turned off cable news over a year ago so maybe I’m missing something. Why the hell are only civilians truly speaking out about this? It’s madness.

And now, a review of Judge Leon's exclamation points, to be read as if shouting at youths on your lawn "The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!"

Daily Mail: “On Wednesday, the 40th day of the shutdown, TSA acting administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill told the House Homeland Security Committee that the agency is now 'being forced to consolidate' security lanes, and 'may have to close smaller airports if we do not have enough officers.' “

FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatens broadcast licenses over Iran War coverage

If you’re wondering why Trump is panic posting and calling anyone who questions rising oil prices fools, here you go:

Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him

Throughout this clip, Rep. Steil says over and over again that masking wouldn't be necessary if local governments cooperated with ICE. But that's nonsense. ICE is masking even in red states, even in places where there are 287(g) agreements, and even hiding their faces in photos taken at prisons!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Damn I love how we’ve all been transported to Puerto Rico. Simply amazing.

My 7 year old just asked if it was a real wedding

You have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

So what I'm hearing is that, in the last five days, two Black Members of Congress have been assaulted in apparent support of the regime's deportation diktat (Rep Frost, punched at Sundance & told he'd be deported; Rep Omar at an ICE townhall) & the regime has arrested four Black journalists. Huh.

I feel the same way now as I felt the night of J6. I know now after going through the aftermath of that what their playbook is in these situations - to cover up, lie, rewrite history. We can only hope that there are enough decent Americans now who won’t let them do it again.

I promised myself I would stop watching these after the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, but this must be seen and shared.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

DHS (once again) announces conclusion (within 3 hours) without any investigation. - Conclusion about federal agent's intent - Conclusion about individual's intent - Implicit conclusion about timing of disarming the individual and shooting him

These ghouls really said this man was trying to massacre law enforcement. The bar is so unbelievably low - I’m just speechless.

They tried to cover it up immediately and the Minneapolis police chief refused. Witnesses have been taken to police headquarters and all available off duty police have been called to work. ICE cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Congress must act now. The Courts must stop the foot dragging.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

This cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE must be the position of any Democrat running for office.

Stand on the steps of the Capitol with a group of colleagues every morning. Text media contacts to say when. And start delivering the same messages every single day. You don’t need your own outlet to do that.

I do not understand why Dems (or someone) are not broadcasting wall to wall montages of ICE thugs abusing our neighbors, abducting children, terrorizing US citizens, invading homes w no warrant, or murdering mothers. This should be a massive exercise in ISSUE SALIENCE driven by Dem elites.

Karoline Leavitt announced that Belgium joined Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’. Belgium’s foreign minister responds.

Obviously they are trying to incite a riot, but then what? Just escalate the violence until we’re in the endless cycle of the Troubles? Madness.

So much winning, everyone. *slow clap*

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

The CARDIAC Bears! 🐻

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This appears to be the most recent DHS policy, and you are correct. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

After a white county in South Carolina rejected a data center, developers have sets their sights on a Black community for a proposed data center complex the size of 1,200 football fields

Want to see what MAGA is thinking right now?

So, a MAGA puppet?

It’s strangely refreshing that Trump has gone full Republican circa 1980s and 2000s on Venezuela. And he’s being honest about the oil! The mask is off. He is a war monger like the rest.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
