Shit like this would define a president's entire term in a previous era. There would be scandal names with -gate attached. I doubt even 2% of Americans will know this is happening by week's end.

Keeping score at home. Trump is: 1. Building a high grade bunker at the WH 2. Funding his own paramilitary 3. Turning blind eye to ICE agents killing in the streets 4. Keeping National Guard in DC on the street 5. Preparing to dispatch force around polling places and encouraging voter suppression

Fascinating how the Trump Administration always gets its inspiration from the Nazis...

MSM, some quick notes: 1. It’s not a settlement (the case was dismissed). 3. It’s not a ballroom (it’s a bunker). 3. It’s not a library (Trump said it will be a hotel). It matters that you get it right.

One interesting detail about slush fund: SOME of these people were paid by something akin to fraud (w/money raised for election integrity to pay defense fees of witness who'd, um, not hurt Trump). Also on list? FBI Director, who testified he would go to prison if he testified w/o immunity.

Everyone knows that $1.7 billion is going straight in Trump’s pocket, right?

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

via @hissgoescobra.bsky.social Listen to the judge at Tina Peters's trial give a searing condemnation of her crimes and behavior in Court. Compare this to what Polis is trying to spin today, in order to justify the bended knee to Trump and his shortcutting of the judicial process:

Dropped last night. Essential read. @nickjudin.bsky.social always brings new, vital information amid rich, often brutal storytelling that continues to build on urgent stories he told first.

BIG STORY: ICE arrested, shackled and separated Israel and Max Makoka as they were about to board their school bus in Diamondhead, Miss. While one brother endured confinement and pressure to self-deport in a Louisiana prison, the other was sent to a youth home in Texas. Now, they tell their story.

Trump delights in digs and then attempts to use them, but he's too vain to ask what the terms actually mean; so he often mispronounces them. I think six genders= cis gender; a real hit on Jesus= high on Jesus. But I can't discern what "his mask from relatively recently" is supposed to be. Anyone?

Wagner: John Roberts is race-neutral color blind framework is harmful because it treats race as if it doesn't shape our laws and our power and our infrastructure, which makes it harder to identify discrimination and harder to justify the the remedies to fix it.

This means every American will have to pay $5 tax to pay Trump's terrorists, ON TOP OF the money those terrorists ultimately did not pay to fix the damage they did to the Capitol.

Last night, Russia attacked Ukraine with 675 drones and 56 missiles.

Trump: "I have such respect for China, the job you've done. You're a great leader. I say it to everybody, you're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway because it's true."

ICE flights. Tuesday, May 12, 2026. (The landing in Japan was not a deportation, likely a fuel/crew stop.)

Genuinely funny that Alito just wrote a whole opinion making clear that the only thing Republicans have to do to gerrymander Black people out of electoral existence is say "this is about politics, not race," and then this genius is like CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW MANY BLACK PEOPLE ARE IN THAT DISTRICT??

bro, there was exactly one fucking thing you weren't supposed to announce on television and you fucked it up.
