New York City just had its safest first 5 months of a year in recorded history. Murders plunged 21%, and major crime overall is down 11%.

What a shame about Trump's votes....

NEW: Trump on ending Iran war: "I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less." He add that the talks have “started to get very boring.” Americans suffering higher gas and grocery prices but Trump is bored so he doesn't want to focus on ending the war. He should be removed from office!

BREAKING: ‘60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley confronted new EP Nick Bilton during an intro meeting with staff — grilling him about recent firings and Bari Weiss. "She's murdering '60 Minutes.'" "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that."

About 100$ plus close to the edge And that is just food Not gas No electric bill No extras

Alternet: Douglas Heye, former RNC communication director: “The challenge of the administration right now, is the issues that Trump brings up, are not where voters are. “They don’t need a ballroom, they don’t need a weaponization fund, they need lettuce to be affordable.” #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Happy Hurricane Season, Americans.

One video shows a hacker starting a conversation with Meta’s AI support bot and asking it to link the target account with a new email address. The AI then sends an eight-digit code to the attacker’s email address. The attacker enters that code and gets a password reset email. Yikes.

I don’t romanticize 60 Minutes but lol Scott do your thing keep going

Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said Thursday the U.S. is pausing a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan because of the Trump administration’s war with Iran.

One would hope. But the people shocked now about how fast maps are being redrawn and rights are being attacked were warned - by a lot of people - that state houses MATTER, and that ignoring state and local level Democrats, and starving them for money while hopeless campaigns got zillions, was nuts.

Every time I sat across the desk from Stephen Colbert, I knew we'd have a conversation that was about more than just getting laughs. Alongside his great wit, Stephen brought deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and humility to the late-night stage. Here's to a next chapter as brilliant as the last.

The coming Trumpflation has barely begun. It will rapidly be ramping up in advance of the 2028 elections.

Trump’s special envoy reportedly needed to have basic concepts explained to him during crucial talks with Iran.

I guess we will have to wait for the next report to learn which ones Trump bought stock in.

The DOJ handed $1.8B in taxpayer money to Trump’s allies overseen by his former personal lawyer, after firing the ethics watchdog who objected. This isn’t a slush fund. It’s a heist with a government seal. 🔥 Democrats are investigating! #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/210638/...

Bill Clinton used to have to walk across the street to use a private telephone to make fundraising calls so as not to violate the Hatch Act by using public resources for partisan purposes. Trump makes campaign commercials from behind the Resolute desk.

“I’m here in my private capacity as a citizen, but by the way, I was just handing out Purple Hearts down at Fort Campbell, as private citizens often do.“

The only reason for Trump to want the parliamentarian fired is if he really was planning to use the money to build the ballroom — and not on the stuff the White House claims to want to use it on in their one-pager. Her ballroom decision didn’t kill the funding. It just requires narrowing the scope.

That matters because it NORMALIZES and provides legal cover for Trump colluding with DoJ and IRS to control both sides of the bogus lawsuit he filed. This is not a settlement. It’s theft. Facts matter. END/ Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/b... Source: www.wsj.com/us-news/law/... The judge:

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

Incredible- Trump's $2 billion taxpayer-subsidized slush fund comes with a legal disclaimer that basically says "we are not responsible for any crimes committed with this money"

That’s what happens when you destroy the greatest research infrastructure in the world & promote pseudoscience. An unfun fact: The US now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General. Our NIH director is a laptop MD. China is spending more on R&D than we are. 🧪

📌BREAKING: -Trump’s approvals are at an all-time low 37% in NYT polling. -Dems lead 50%-39% among registered voters. -This would easily overcome the Republicans’ redistricting advantage. -The Senate is in play. -Democrats hold a 14-point lead among voters “almost certain” or “very likely” to vote.

Definitely don't put in your newspaper that I was mad

Trump has been ripping Americans off for decades We all know it. But 39% of us are too invested in racism to care
