Reminder… Romney warned McConnell, McConnell ignored him… and he worried Trump would intentionally not send help…

This precedent could also be applied to government officials who blow people up in boats without a declared war, due process, evidence, or trial.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

I just left the Senate floor where we finally advanced the Iran War Powers Resolution. This must pass.

The most corrupt president in the history of the world and it’s not close.

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off

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.

I loved the Terry portrait near the end and the snow globe in his glass. Smiling over the world he created. He’s why I read the book and watched the series. It was perfect. #GoodOmens3

I enjoyed the Good Omens finale. Did it feel rushed in places? Yes, but I wonder if as a fan of the characters I just wanted more. The last 20 minutes was riveting even though it was just four people in a bookshop. Every minute of that felt so weighted. #GoodOmens3

Aziraphale’s demon disguise reveal made me bust out laughing. And then at points it was so unsettling it was scary. Only Michael Sheen could pull that off. #GoodOmens3

“Why did you give me Crowley? Why make me complete and then take it away?” If you’ve ever experienced this kind of grief… this line by Aziraphale is devastating. Not used to Good Omens hitting this hard #GoodOmens3

The relevant portion of the Jason Collins discussion

A racist president created a racist Supreme Court so racist GOP state governments can discriminate against their Black citizens “The..Southern state is expected to..drop the number of districts where Black voters comprise a majority..from two to one out of the state's seven US House districts”

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

CRIMINALS COMMITTING CRIMES WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE. THIS SH!T HAS TO BE STOPPED. LET THERE BE LAWSUITS.

Probably pure coincidence, but more US airline-related fatalities under (reality-TV star, zero aviation experience) Sean Duffy than his predecessors in previous 15+ years combined. Heckuva job, Duffy.

Air traffic Control is in crisis, planes are crashing, TSA lines are around the block, airlines are going out of business. And this fox news bozo went on a seven month-road trip while we were paying him to be transportation secretary? Do I have this right?

MAGA pastors and rabbis dedicate golden Trump idol

Thought other politicians just hated Mamdami's guts so much because of racism, but he seems to be setting the kind of standards they Really don't want to meet so maybe he scares the shit out of them because he's showing everyone how easy it would be to actually do their damn jobs

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research

The accuracy...

We are in the worst possible hands imaginable with RFK Jr. running HHS and the guy who told people to drink bleach during COVID back in the White House.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signs a new congressional map into law, splitting up the state's only majority black district.

Every journalist should be asking what the hell is going on with this guy's health that they aren't telling us.

Are you fuck'n kidding me? These fuck'n rich douchebags from #Laurelhurst, #Seattle are complaining that helicopters landing at Seattle Children's Hospital is causing them "discomfort" due to the "noise." They are forcing them to land elsewhere. WTF! Join us this Saturday. Let's make some noice!

Soil at the public DC golf course where the Trump admin dumped debris of the White House East Wing has tested positive for lead, chromium and other toxic metals. @nytimes.com gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/c...

I don't quite have words yet. I'm stunned, grateful, disoriented. My deepest, deepest thanks to the five families without whom this book would not exist. It has been the honor of my life to know and learn from you.

Congratulations to the Chicago Tribune on its Pulitzer Prize win for local reporting. The country was able to see the impacts of the Trump Administration's chaos and violence during Operation Midway Blitz thanks to the hard work of local journalists.

After a child in their care died of blunt force trauma, the company kept their government contract. Got more children. Got more taxpayer money. And Governor Greg Abbott signed a law removing placement regulations. This is what privatized foster care looks like in Texas.

John Lewis said it best: In a democracy, the right to vote is the most powerful, nonviolent tool we have. People marched, protested & bled for that right. But today it's under attack. We must defend the right to vote & we can start by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

The white nationalist agenda, got dressed up in legal language. Governors can carve out majority-white districts… but the second it’s about creating a majority Black or Hispanic district, it’s illegal? Let’s be honest about where this is headed, Black representation in the South gets wiped out.

EXCLUSIVE: Melissa Hortman Died in a Shocking Act of Political Violence. This Is the Story of Her Life.

This will sound very nerdy, but when I was a kid, I revered the Supreme Court. If they could rule unanimously against segregation in 1954—when the two other branches of government would *never* have been brave enough—I thought they're the lone voice of good. That is all trashed now. They're garbage.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

An appeals court sentenced ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol to 7 years in prison for resisting arrest and bypassing a Cabinet meeting before his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024. n.pr/3QDw6EO

House Democrats have formed a task force to game out how Trump might meddle with the midterms, and what to do if Republicans refuse to seat new, Democratic members of Congress in January.

Biden focused on expanding wealth from the bottom up & middle out to create a more equitable, prosperous & stable economic order. In contrast Trump extracts wealth – thru illegal taxes, illegal deportations & illegal war – to create an unstable, top-heavy economic order threatening to topple over.

The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good has been quietly relocated to a different state and allowed to resume work.

If only there were a court, perhaps we would think of it as a supreme one, that could "say what the law is" — particularly when the executive chooses to ignore it.

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

Reagan actually got shot at the same hotel and never asked for a ballroom

On June 14, 2025, Melissa Hortman Democrat Minnesota House Speaker and her husband Mark were assassinated in a politically motivated attack at their home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. By a Trump supporter. Also killed was their dog, Gilbert.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner is a thing that shouldn't even exist, but if it has to exist, the idea that the White House itself should be hosting it is absurd and it would make the attendees even bigger quislings and whores than they are now
