“They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social in Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

"“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...

History is watching us. You either choose to fight for democracy, equality, and the fundamental right to vote for EVERY American — or you stand on the side of those who spent decades trying to suppress it. There is no neutral ground.

“.. The idea of a high-ranking government official receiving an escort from the SEALs for a recreational swim near the tomb is ‘horrifying,’ said William M. McBride, a Navy veteran and professor emeritus of history at the U.S. Naval Academy ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

My governor has gone full Fetterman, and we have no idea why. We sane people in Colorado would like to apologize for believing this asshole would stick to his beliefs after elected. But now he's leaving so his true colors are showing.🤷‍♂️ Never go full Fetterman...

Your tax dollars just paid a French oil company to stop building American electricity, and the gas it’s being replaced with is getting shipped overseas to Europe and Asia. The Trump Administration is PAYING to kill projects that would have lowered your costs.

Trump on saying he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation: "It's a perfect statement. I'll make it again. Everybody agrees."

Rural Red State Trump voters say that $6 gasoline is worth the price in order to achieve Trump's goals in Iran. But when asked, few of them can articulate what those goals are (but then again, neither can Trump). reut.rs/4dL2y14

Xi is playing long-term geopolitical chess while Trump alienates NATO allies, sidesteps Taiwan, and operates under conflicts of interest that would’ve consumed any other presidency. The loudest claims of American strength are coming from a White House acting terrified of decline.

We're All Standing With Ted Lieu....

Cleaning up Orban’s corruption in Hungary is a huge task after he looted their country for years, and it is certainly something we can watch unfold and learn from.

“Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents are being told to find a new power provider because the grid is being re-routed to A.I. data centers.”

Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.

Oh. My. God. This is despicable.

This administration, and the billionaires with ties to it, want Americans hunting for pennies in Medicaid audits so that we will be distracted from the fact that they are bribing their way into contracts, pardons, crypto fortunes, and foreign deals.

Forgiving loans to students trying to better their lives was a bridge too far but paying off thugs and criminals is perfectly fine.

This a disgusting abomination. Republicans are going to make hard-working, law abiding taxpayers pay off the thugs and criminals who beat cops on J6 and were convicted of various other crimes. Vote every Republican out of office this Nov. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

Republicans aren’t even trying to hide that their political survival depends on dismantling voting protections, carving up Black districts, and canceling ballots already cast.

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.

At this point, the presidency looks like a live-streamed nervous breakdown with nuclear codes attached.

I cannot fathom the world we’re living in, nor that the GOPers in the House and Senate are fine with it. I cannot fathom the open racism being gleefully expressed by the governments of our southern states. I cannot fathom our passive media, more concerned with access than integrity. I am adrift.

The Epstein Files point directly to Russia ties. It's the smoking gun feared by the elites. The entire right-wing media, Opus Dei and the techbros are guilty of colluding with Russia and helping destroy our democracy. Releasing the files and the fall of Putin would be a serious blow to their power.

What has me worried — what we all need to focus on — is that something important in our democracy broke last week, and we are only beginning to see the fallout. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

😕🇺🇸 Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Did Iran agree to that peace deal yet?

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

New Mexico has spoken clearly and lawfully—that we will not be a party to illegal and unconstitutional violations of our communities’ civil liberties and human rights. We stand by our state and local laws and the protection of our communities.

They’re still working on it. Two weeks.

Nine women were finally set to testify about how Tennessee’s abortion ban endangered their lives—until state Republicans abruptly halted the trial days before it began. msmagazine.com/2026/05/06/t...

I'm interviewing Rankin and Jordan at noon today on my YouTube channel, Facebook, and Substack. Got a chance to talk to them yesterday, and they're interesting— they see the resumption of state power as key to recovering democracy.

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.

Are you fucking kidding me??! Virginia Supreme Court strikes down Democrats’ redistricting plan, dimming party’s midterm hopes apnews.com/article/redi...

“.. another major setback to the party in a nationwide battle against Republicans for an edge in this year’s midterm elections.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/redi...

The FBI is turning “insider threat” investigations into weapons against reporters while the director hands out vanity bourbon bottles stamped “KA$H.” When will this madness end?

Republicans campaign on fiscal discipline, then turn around and pass massive tax cuts that shrink revenue, balloon deficits, and—predictably—get followed by calls to cut programs regular people rely on. We saw it in the 1980s, we saw it with the 2017 tax cuts, and we’re seeing it again now.

Hegseth made a false claim in his testimony to the House on Wed. Then he repeated it in his testimony to the Senate on Thurs. The claim: “In 2024, troops were depl… – that was Joe Biden by the way, Joe Biden – were deployed to polling locations in 15 states." Fact check: baseless and false

Trump is crazyposting at 3pm

The instability is impossible to ignore. Trump is posting late night provocative memes, personal attacks, and self-aggrandizing imagery, while taking reckless actions that are causing our gas, food and healthcare costs to soar and that are threatening our security and damaging our alliances.

Putin's aide Ushakov: "Putin & Donald Trump have voiced essentially similar assessments of the Kyiv's regime behavior, headed by Zelenskyy, incited and supported by the Europeans..." An interesting attempt to group "terrorists" Ukraine and Europe together, and Russia& the US on the other side

The race is on to restore southern apartheid. Alabama and Tennessee join Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

NEW: Donald Trump gave Meta $8 BILLION by creating a new tax loophole for billionaire corporations. All while millions of Americans struggled to pay for food and health care.
