This looks like junior high schoolers trying to do a music video for “it’s raining men”

Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal tomorrow. He will share the stage with no fewer than five people who idolize Hitler, including one who joined a group created by two Nazi SS members. Another guy is a self-described racist who refers to women as "cockroaches."🧵

Corruption watch

The post text and the article dek doesn't match the article's own headline nor the gravely serious risks this proposal would cause for U.S. science and the country.

This is authoritarianism writ large. Please make a comment - we need to come together to stop this undermining of democracy by Russell Vought and the OMB. If you have an extra few minutes, call you congresspeople.

This ICE flight just landed in Kenya. Migrants onboard will have been shackled for at least 22 hours.

how bout that

Early in Don DeLillo’s novel "Underworld," kids rush the turnstiles at the Polo Grounds in 1951, overwhelming ticket takers and cops. “Maybe four will get through for every one that’s caught.” The Trump regime is like this – a constant bum-rush of awfulness. And much of the corruption gets through.

Just in past 24 hours: -Criminal investigation of E. Jean Carroll -Subpoenas seeking info of ICE critics -Former judges demand inquiry into IRS "deal" -White House intervention leads to $600+M deal to family-linked firm -Monuments, pictures on currency Turning us into a tinpot authoritarian state

Thugocracy at work.

Maybe the alpha males in MAGA can tell Mike Johnson to apply less rouge on his cheeks. And blend it in better. While they are at it, Hegseth’s makeup also seems excessive. And the orange shit Trump slathers all over his face doesn’t make it all the way to his hair transplants.

ICE flights. Tuesday, May 26, 2026. -At least 25 planes -At least 72 flights -At least 11 removal flights -Fourth flight to EWR since Delaney Hall hunger strike began

I wrote about Sonny Rollins - a huge influence on me as a saxophonist, and a man whose creative philosophies I'll forever be trying to understand and emulate.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

Peace prize material. This is how he talks about countries with which we have good relations.

In the end we were just his latest casino and whatnot.

It’s really important that Democrats have people like Talarico (and Warnock and others) providing this kind of theologically and spiritually rigorous counter to Christian nationalism. Consigning evangelicals to the far right is a terrible mistake. Every person Talarico reaches is a badly needed win

Dark money donations rarely come to light. This is the first-known dark money donation from GEO Group, and the only reason we know about it is because of a paperwork screw-up. A GEO Group spokesperson explained the screw-up but wouldn't address other questions.

Funny how no one is offering to make the Epstein victims "whole."

Trump thinks it's treasonous to demand the truth, criticize his errors, fight for what's best about America. As with so many things, he has that backwards. True American patriotism is about fighting for what we believe in. Worth remembering this Memorial Day. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Trump officials reportedly informed NATO members that the U.S. plans to sharply scale back key military capabilities dedicated to Europe’s defense, including bombers, warships, fighter jets, submarines, and refueling aircraft. My latest…

The GOP is going to implode around Trump like a dying star

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

It’s amazing. Chip Roy and John Cornyn both trump boot lickers, still thrown to the wolves. You either have to be 100 percent committed to the cult, or you’re out. If you want to walk a line, you’ll get crushed. But telling the truth and doing right will free your soul

Profiles in courage

Trump’s refusal to release any of his medical records has reporters wondering just what it is that Joe Biden is hiding

When I exited the center, my staff told me that there’s been a major escalation. I saw a large line of ICE agents staring down a line of protestors. I walked in the space between asking for the head of the ICE contingent. (6/19)

Trump’s CFTC has pushed out senior career officials who raised concerns about crypto and prediction markets. It’s barely lifted a finger to regulate these rapidly expanding platforms. Trump’s family just so happens to have financial ties to both industries. Coincidence — or corruption?

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

fly on, o great one. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

The clock is still ticking.

Meet the long-eared hedgehog! Inhabiting parts of Central Asia, this omnivore feeds on fruit, insects, & small vertebrates. It has been observed rubbing its spines against toads, suggesting it might be using their toxins for its own self-defense. Photo: vladimirblinov ,CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

So $1.8 billion in reparations for insurrectionists, and zero for Epstein victims? Am I getting this right?

The way Ron DeSantis has turned Florida’s previously top-notch university system into a lavish slush fund for his friends and co-segregationists needs to be the subject of a withering political campaign. Everyone who touched this process should be made radioactive in polite society.

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

Sen. Van Hollen not backing down — pressing Acting AG Blanche who tried to dismiss his glaring conflict of interest. Van Hollen's response was perfect: you're not acting like the AG, you're acting like Trump's personal attorney.

The way you break the Trump mythos is by relentlessly, fearlessly bulldogging Republicans. Constant confrontation. Force choices. Enforce consequences.

BREAKING: We just won a preliminary injunction in our case with @freedom.press requiring the Trump administration to follow the Presidential Records Act and preserve records for posterity. This is a huge win against their absurd stance that the law is unconstitutional.

I also captured this super close-up portrait of the canyon wren. I'm putting together a 2027 wildlife portrait calendar, and this photo is a strong contender. laurel-gale.pixels.com/featured/can... #birds #nature #wildlife 📷🐡

Peter Dosa has written the best account I know of the similarities and differences of living under Orban and Trump, with beautifully crafted phrase that will stick in your mind long after you've read it . . . Bravo! substack.com/home/post/p-...

This slush fund to reward insurrectionists is a continuation of the assault on our democracy started by donald on January 6th. Its wrong and puts us in continued danger. See you in court

We found the Swamp.

"Europeans may imagine that the EU is a mere bureaucratic inconvenience. But the Russians have never believed that. On the contrary, the Russian president has long understood that when unified, Europe can resist Russian influence and Russian corruption." @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on Europe Day

These lines are so clearly prewritten and over-rehearsed, and they’re delivered with all the deftness of a drunk at open mic night retelling the joke that his frat brothers didn’t think was funny over 30 years ago
