Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party… Full stop.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

"The big story right now is oil. The next story is food." ⁣ ⁣ That's the transmission channel people miss: if fertilizer is "caught on the wrong side of the Strait of Hormuz," food prices can be next.

Democrats: Here’s what I think is frustrating all of us about the current version of our party…you agree?

😳

“1.776 Billion” is a nice touch — Trolling us with fake patriotism as he steals our money and gives it to people who attacked the Capitol to end democracy for him How much will Rep. Andy Ogles get? @MarshaBlackburn?

I’ve reached out to CBS to find out if Stephen Colbert will be interviewing Pope Leo XIV for his final show on Thursday. They declined to comment.

I am tired of people making excuses for obviously inadequate white men.

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...

Everything having to do with medical 🥴

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

insanity on every level

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.

Jamie Raskin looked visibly shaken after reviewing the unredacted Epstein files: "Trump's name is all over these files. You will see references to... 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl."

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

This is some next level evil. As always, Florida is something else when it comes to unexamined white supremacy. www.detroitnews.com/picture-gall...

🥴

Insane.

sorry folks, the ai needs it 😑

Just laughing at how it’s possible for a black woman to be so beautiful and talented that she sends a racist into a six day public stroke

Found this post on reddit and the last bit nails it: “Please don't remember her for the horrific end to her life. Remember her for who she was, a true blessing. To everyone around her.”

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Love this! www.notus.org/perspectives... (The suggestions from the 15 other WaPo veterans fall well short of the moment.)

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

f it we’ll do the show live!!

You'll be shocked to learn the reporter Trump called a "dumb person" is a black woman (Akayla Gardner of MSNOW) thegrio.com/2026/05/12/t...

A governor who discards votes should be impeached.

Trump’s Disapproval rating has hit 70% in the new CNN poll. It never reached 50% in his first term.

No thanks

WATCH: “WE WILL NOT GO BACK… today is the day we see if multiracial democracy dies in Tennessee and across the South.” Powerful — ryan camp followed Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social the day Republicans stripped Memphis of representation. 🎥 www.instagram.com/reel/DYITOzA...

I had no idea the founding of Mothers' Day was an antiwar movement. From Letters From An American: "Mothers’ Day was not designed to encourage people to be nice to their mothers. It was part of women’s effort to gain power to change society." open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Voting rights

The most dangerous thing happening in America right now isn’t hatred. It’s the insistence that you ignore obvious patterns unfolding right in front of your face.

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

These people really out here living in the land of make-believe

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

Redrawing District 9 is attacking Black votes and Black representation. Memphis will not be silenced. March with us on Saturday. Stand against injustice. Let your voices be heard. 🕐 Meet up at 1pm. March starts at 1:30pm. 📍I Am A Man Plaza - National Civil Rights Museum #sheshed #voterizer 1/

My mind boggles at the people who are still saying, "But, but, the rules say...but but but...the process is..." Listen, Republicans don't care. They make shit up, bend the rules, ignore them, change them at will. Democrats have the majority in VA. Use your powers, be creative, & implement the map.

A big subtext to Trump's war on Pope Leo is that in so many ways, the Pope is utterly anathema to the white Christian Nationalist America that MAGA craves. Check out this exchange with @sarahposner.bsky.social on that point: newrepublic.com/article/2100...
