"[Trump's] team says he's 6'3", 220 lbs... That is what we see in the NFL combine. That is not credible." @johnjharwood.bsky.social speaks with physician Dr. @vinguptamd.bsky.social about Trump’s latest medical exams and how “insulting” they are to the American public. Watch: youtu.be/CXgf-3_dFz0

President Trump’s personal attorneys and the DOJ *he* controls secretly negotiated a settlement, creating a $1.8 billion "weaponization" slush fund. This is blatantly illegal. So you bet CREW filed a lawsuit.

There needs to be a large chapter on strengthening checks and balances and accountability. Republicans have decided there should be little decorum and even fewer norms. Let's modify this. Another chapter on strengthening individual rights with women's rights at the top.

Having watched Project 2025 give Republicans a ready-made arsenal of policies, executive orders, and personnel, Democrats started asking whether they needed a version of their own. Now, that effort is close to going public. @lauren-egan.bsky.social got an exclusive preview of Project 2029.

🧵 The Supreme Court's Callais ruling made it harder to prove in court that a legislative map dilutes minority voting strength. But a three-judge panel today confirmed that intentional racial gerrymanders can still be struck down by federal courts. Here’s what you need to know about Alabama 👇

People write often about how companies like Intuit lobby Congress bc their business model relies on the tax system being artificially bad. I feel like the less obvious problem is that the system being so painful and annoying is also stealth propaganda for the anti-tax, anti-social programs side

one thing that pisses me off most about the 21st century is that, especially now, is that the system could easily be set up to where most of us just have all the taxes we owe taken out automatically, and everyone else just gets a letter telling them what they owe. this matters more than you'd think

JUST POSTED: first in a new occasional series, Political Strength Training, this is a tour through some of the fascinating data we've accrued over the past few cycles of campaign work. However disastrous you thought the Democratic campaign approach to immigration was, it's worse. 🧵

Colbert’s firing will “be in history books” a century from now as an example of Trump’s attempts to silence criticism. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/05/21/s...

I will always be grateful to them for always speaking truth to power They’re the real journalists unafraid to speak truth about what is happening in this terrible time Never beholden to Trump, billionaires or the GOP only to We the People On or off air, their voices will never be silenced!

📣 NEW: Tennessee Republicans stripped Democratic lawmakers from House committees after they protested the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander that dismantled the state's only majority-Black district.

You need to be following Jose and his reporting 🤘🏻

So not only did TN Republicans strip Memphis of representation, Speaker Sexton is also stripping Dems of committees for protesting it. Watch fascism work. www.wsmv.com/2026/05/12/m...

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Jaw-dropping numbers with young people for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social — who has taken the lead in MICHIGAN…

With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero.

Rep. Goodlander: "Do you know what the average cost of a gallon of gas was in this country on Feb. 28?" Hegseth: "It depends on where you live?" Goodlander: "$2.83. Do you know what the average cost of gas is today?" Hegseth: "Much higher in California…" Goodlander: "$4.23."

🇮🇱 Ex Mossad Chief Tamir Pardo on West Bank Settler Violence: "My mother is a Holocaust survivor, and what I saw here reminded me of the events of the previous century against the Jews. I feel ashamed.”

This quote comes from Jamie Raskin, who talked to me about his exchange with CNN's Dana Bash over her suggestion that Dem rhetoric bears some responsibility for the shooting incident:

1. A member of the U.S. Special Forces was just arrested for using classified info to turn a 400K profit on Polymarket. The company is CELEBRATING this scandal as evidence that "the system works." But Polymarket's story doesn't add up. Let's dig in. 🧵

The guy who threatened to revoke the broadcast licenses of news groups and got performers banned will attend the White House Correspondents Dinner-an event designed to celebrate freedom of the press It’s bad enough that the media has no self-respect. But clearly they also don’t respect us, either

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

This is glaringly obvious to everyone except for the faces of corporate media, who desperately want to walk a red carpet

LETTER from journalists to the WHCA: “TAKE STRONGER ACTION” Wearing pins and handkerchiefs at the dinner isn’t enough as Trump wages war on the first amendment.

Hearing that major changes are coming to rate limits on GitHub Copilot this week for individual plans (and some on biz/enterprise too), opus models leaving the $20 plan, and potentially even token based billing some time in the future. Some account types might also be paused.

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Put a ton into this one this weekend. Given the Lions' need at edge, I did a deep dive into 10 prospects who could be available to them in Rounds 1 and 2, looking at the pros, cons and film to gauge the fits: www.detroitfootball.net/p/film-based...

I just found @keefknight.bsky.social's comics and I just had to share! They're insightful, progressive and entertaining!

EVERY candidate running for office associated with Democratic party in November 2026: If I do *NOT* see this message played or at very least mentioned in at least 90% of your campaign commercials this fall, I shall assume you do *NOT* actually care about winning‼️

Don’t let this go by unnoticed
