This isn't a battle between left and right. It's between up and down. Know who the real enemy is! visibility brigade ✊

Sickening. It still infuriates me that most Republicans painted this as just a protest and supported an ex-president who tried to overturn an election. Trump encouraged these criminals and then sat back while they attacked and vandalized the U.S. Capitol.

Also, I did see Ike & Tina Turner & the Ikettes, and given the relative talent I could argue Tina was the front.

This is going everywhere beyond news. It’s in sports, entertainment. Just stop it unless there’s actual news of consequence.

Trump has never sued any of the many people who’ve called him a pedophile because, clearly, a lawyer has explained (1) how discovery works; and (2) how truth is an absolute defense in a defamation action.

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

Stunning and wonderful show! If you missed it, suggest you try to find it on YouTube. Well worth the effort. For the time being, we will miss you, Stephen. Then, you'll appear and make things all right!

Most folks don't realize how central events like J6 were to the Jim Crow state. Dozens of unprosecuted coups & massacres—actively encouraged by those in power—revived the fundamental logic of the pre-emancipation state: that Black Americans had "no rights which the white man was bound to respect."

I’m not financially qualified to give this advice but I think you should quit your job and just come read all day.

Consumer sentiment just hit an ALL-TIME LOW. Americans' perception of their own finances has never been worse. Stock market just hit an ALL-TIME HIGH. Trump's approval on economy ~ ALL-TIME LOW. K-shaped economy great for Wall St, terrible for lots of voters. Best of times, worst of times, etc.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. Honestly, voting is like taking a bus. If there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk—you take the one going closest to where you want to be. We can vote better than they can cheat. 💙🗳️

“.. What is happening is an assault on democracy, and they’re using the easiest vector, which is anti-Black racism, because it’s the easiest thing you could do, the laziest thing you can do,” Nelson said. @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/m...

Paul McCartney made his first US television appearance (with the Beatles) on this same stage on February 9, 1964, adding further significance to his being at the Ed Sullivan Theater to celebrate Stephen Colbert.

☮️ Paul McCartney sending off Stephen Colbert is yet another reason the arts are everything. We will take this sad song we are living through in America and make it better…

It’s giving The Rainmaker vibes

A problem with the GOP just leaving town now, tho, is Trump's $1.8B DOJ slush fund can apparently proceed without Congress stepping in to stop it or put parameters on it. Massive abuse of taxpayer $. There is a lawsuit over it. But it sure feels like Trump can just move forward with it for now.

When Donald isn't sexually assaulting kids, he's helping them get addicted to nicotine. What a prince!

We’re actually the best in the league at offense! For both teams in the games we play! (I am happy this is so much more fun than the rest of this decade)

Jeff Bezos today: “You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.” And this ⬇️ is why.

The three men who were killed in the hate-fueled shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego deserved to come home from their place of worship alive. Honor them by reading and sharing their stories. Give the shooters #NoNotoriety.

Sally Ride, beloved astronaut.

The hearings on this will be epic.

Brilliant job today by Sen. Van Hollen. Blanche can't handle the truth. He doesn't act like an Attorney General. He was Trump's criminal defense lawyer, now he's Trump's personal retribution prosecutor and grift dispenser. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

All that groveling for nothing

APPLEBAUM: United States under this administration is no longer interested in leading democratic coalitions against Russia or anyone else. President Trump has begun to align US foreign and domestic policies with values and practices of the autocratic world.

#OTD in 1966 Dad delivered his speech "Don't Sleep Through the Revolution" in Hollywood, FL, and warned that the greatest danger is staying passive while injustice advances. That warning echoes clearly today.

NEW: Sen Michael Bennet (D) says he will not appoint Gov Jared Polis to the Senate if Bennet is elected Governor. Bennet calls Polis' clemency for Tina Peters "disqualifying"

ICE goons lied under oath about shooting a man in the leg and falsely charged their victims with assault instead. They refused to cooperate and covered for their agents. Without video, an innocent man would have been imprisoned. But now one goon will face justice with four 2nd degree felony charges.

And EVERYONE needs to join in the backlash!

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I do not want to hear Republicans yap about “waste, fraud and abuse” ever again. Ever.

Heartened to see a Democrat take on Reagan and this ridiculous quote. It's always gotten under my skin.

How do you take $1.7 BILLION from the taxpayers? You sue the government, take over the DOJ, and negotiate a settlement with yourself. Donald Trump just got caught making the most corrupt deal ever. Look at the receipts:

Every GOP member of Congress should be asked by the press whether they agree Trump can use $1.7b that we, the taxpayers, paid so gov’t could work for us, as reward money to his supporters.

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"

You know what to do. Help identify this guy who threw a kegger through the window at Georgetown Cupcake! #Vandal #GeorgetownCupcake www.instagram.com/katherinesop...

Imagine telling somebody 20 years ago that a future billionaire president would file a lawsuit against the government he heads asking the Treasury to pay him, personally, 10 Billion Dollars, because a rogue employee leaked tax data showing how little tax he paid to the government.

Thread ==> (What are they hiding?)

If I could impart only two bits of wisdom to young reporters it would be: - don’t be deferential to power and - always write as if you might be wrong.

I miss having a President of the United States.

Before anyone feels sorry for Bill Cassidy, remember that he's the reason RFK Jr. was confirmed as HHS secretary, and he is forever stained by all that has and will happen.

And that's why we need to pass #Medicare4All - get rid of the insurance companies and let that money go to actual healthcare! #PassNYHealth

Headsup: New House transportation bill imposes a new, national $130/year fee for owning an EV.

As He died to make men holy / Let us die to make men free / His truth is marching on. Glory, glory hallelujah!

Their goal is for us all to be exhausted, disconnected, and convinced there’s nothing we can do. That’s why they move so fast with such disregard and destruction. But public sentiment has been shifting hard against MAGA.

And this November, the blue wave will be as blue as Trump made the memorial pool. Democrat blue. All we can do in the meantime is keep fighting back on as many fronts as possible!
