thehill.com/homenews/adm... The Justice Department (DOJ) is pulling press releases from its website related to charges on individuals tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, citing efforts to dispel of “partisan propaganda.” Trump rewriting the narrative. Shame on people who support MAGA.

In America, crime doesn't pay... unless you're a sociopathic authoritarian despot, gifted with absolute power by an ultra-conservative Christian oligarchy that wants to regress the country back to an 1890s Gilded Age of robber barons, preachers and poorhouses.

I'm old enough to remember when we didn't reward adjudicated criminals for beating Capitol cops senseless with American flags, dousing them with bear spray, breaking through barricades and smearing feces on the walls of government buildings. And we never called these deplorable animals "patriots".

Gonna miss Steve Colbert's Late Show. 😪

The UFO videos were cool to watch. Now release the Epstein files.

Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

And as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in hell Could break that Satan spell And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died -Don McLean (American Pie)

As if slaughter houses weren't bad enough, the Trump administration has proposed allowing slaughterhouses to kill animals faster in order to lower costs, USA Today reported. These animals won't be killed faster. It'll allow for more maiming and painful deaths. The dark reach of Trump is everywhere.

The orange disgrace is determined to silence the voices of freedom and burn this country down so he can sit on his golden throne in the ashes

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

The Right needs new talking points and a check on their California Derangement Syndrome. California is the top-performing economy in the US. We dominate in EVERY category — from manufacturing to venture capital, engineering, and research. We are writing the rules of the future.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

He Should Be Arrested Immediately For a Lot of Reasons….

BREAKING: Hawai’i has passed a bill that will undermine Citizens United. The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” and do not have the right to spend money on elections. This is HUGE.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

Yet he did and he settled the case. Wth?

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

As we say around here, it's down to the nut cuttin. From here to the election, it's what I hope and think we're going to see from opponents of autocracy. Total aggressive offense. No more defensive postures or waffling or triangulation or any of that. We're on the front lines now. @democrats.org

Call me crazy, but withholding money from California hospice and freezing new enrollees hits an all time low. Yet another Trump vendetta, harming Americans on their death bed and the people that love them.

Trump is withholding $1.3 billion dollars to CA. Alongside the California freeze the administration announced a nationwide six-month pause on new Medicare enrollments for hospice and home health care providers.

Trump stopped US aid to poorer countries that was used to keep disease spread under control. Now the deadly Ebola virus is spreading. Don't think it'll reach America? That's a big risk to take. And once we realize it was a mistake, it's too late. www.cnn.com/2026/05/17/a...

Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed at least 871 Palestinians since the so-called ceasefire started last year.

great piece. please read if you have a moment: presswatchers.org/2026/05/its-...

Tough guy! "When asked about a 'major cyberattack' from China, Trump shrugged indifferently. 'It is what it is,' he said... "Confronted with evidence that China was assisting Iran in its war with the U.S., Trump called China's actions just 'one of those things'...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"“It’s possible that we’re starting to see the consequences of severe and sudden cuts to global health programs that have eroded surveillance and allowed deadly viruses to spread undetected...” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

Trump is reportedly planning a $1.7 billion settlement fund to pay the nearly 1,600 people charged in the January 6th attack on the Capitol. If you do it for me, I will not just pardon you. I will pay you. Every regime that has ever needed a private army has used the same playbook.

www.alternet.org/white-house-... MAGA is not who anyone should go to to learn about God. Their entire existence is blasphemy.

reminder: it’s okay to log off and just do other shit tonight. take care of yourself.
