There appears to be a social media effort to mislead California's Democratic voters and have them cast their mail-in ballots so late that they will not be postmarked until after the deadline.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he’s “comfortable” with being among the names of potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election. @mckennahorsley.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/briefs/beshe...

So that’s why he rushed off the golf course over the weekend for an emergency dental visit. Sure, Jan.

Both of the president’s hands were caked in two different shades of concealer—neither one was the right match for his skin tone.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

Don’t trust billionaires

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett argued that consumer spending remains strong despite rising fuel costs, saying, “Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too.” BECAUSE OF TRUMP, YOU IDIOT GASLIGHTER!

Oh this DOJ is just off the deep end and is now a full weapon of the state. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth The vitamin K shot, a lifesaving injection given to newborns to prevent uncontrollable bleeding of the brain and intestines, has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

Nobody should have that kind of wealth.

New revelations prove Trump and Hegseth are covering up the truth about what a disaster the Iran War has been. It is Pentagon Papers 2.0. Should be a massive scandal. www.thedailybeast.com/the-scandal-...

‼️ Hungary returns stolen Oschadbank funds and gold to Ukraine

The rapid embrace of AI in China could shape how it's used globally.

BREAKING: White House in ‘Panic’ mode and hold secret meetings preparing for investigations. Hantavirus spreads to eight person, now in Switzerland. Trump’s Surgeon General nominee deletes tweets where she questioned his health. Subscribe to support my work and keep me caffeinated:

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is set to testify today before the House Oversight Committee about his ties to Epstein as bipartisan calls for his resignation mount. Read more from Erum Salam:

Chad Bianco just said he’s a proud member of the Oath Keepers.

Can’t stand his posh British accent … and I love accents.

The slumping Padres starting pitching suck. Down 2-0 in the first inning vs. Giants. Team is almost always playing from behind, and it’s a very bad trend.

Goode won.

Waving the white flag

My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 79 co-sponsors. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

The Miami Dolphins will have the 1st pick in the NFL Draft is ESPN's NFL Nation predictions come true.

The U.S. is weaponizing immigration laws to silence the press. Again. The Trump administration is targeting noncitizens journalists first, but it won’t stop there. If it could, it would exile any American reporter who dares to investigate Trump and his allies.

Filled out my California primary mail-in ballot. Voted entirely blue. Vetted all the judicial candidates, too. We were moved into a new congressional district, so I voted for U.S. Rep. Sarah Jacobs in District 51. VOTE BLUE, CALIFORNIA!

Good morning Everyone Today is PRIMARY DAY IN OHIO AND INDIANA Ohio Vote Sherrod Brown VOTE BLUE DOWN BALLOT Indiana VOTE DEMOCRATS Don't let Trump steal your voting maps ..He tried once and failed Don't let him try again See below for information Democrats when we VOTE WE WIN

Both of Georgia's Senators are Democrats, asshole.

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

Whether by incompetence or dark design, Trump’s illegal tariffs have worked like a reverse-Robin Hood scheme, on steroids.

"We know that we can hit" has become a very tiresome excuse for the lack of hitting by the San Diego Padres. Through May 4, superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. hasn't hit a homer. Jackson Merrill, Freddy Fermin and Jake Cronenworth are MIA at the plate. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

NEW proposal from Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans would set aside $1 billion in taxpayer money for the security upgrades in Trump's East Wing project

Putin and his generals are paranoid, afraid of assassination, and hiding in bunkers giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

⚡️ Romania's pro-EU government falls after no-confidence vote. The motion was initiated by the Social Democrats (PSD), who left the governing coalition last month, and by the far-right, Ukraine-skeptic Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR).

Donald Trump has a new boast about his performance on a cognitive screening test—and the doctor who created it is pushing back.

Text of Judiciary part of the reconciliation package is out. This is the filibuster-proof bill where Republicans are planning to give around $70 billion more to ICE and CBP. Will go through it here.

The Padres limp bats brought the team another defeat. This slump is now nine days long, and no end is in sight. Making the awful Giants look like world beaters tonight and their rookie starter looking like a Cy Young hurler. Oy vey.

It’s no secret that the president is on the decline, David Rothkopf argues.

Julie K. Brown deservedly, but belatedly, gets her Pulitzer Prize for covering the Epstein abuses. Congrats, Julie!

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

Miami Dolphins trim some fat on the roster ahead of rookie camp 2026.

The Reaper wins NL Reliever of the Month. Look at those impressive numbers for Mason Miller of the San Diego Padres!

Alito doing Republicans another midterms favor

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has restored the ability to receive the abortion pill mifepristone by mail in temporary order as litigation continues.

Starting pitcher Griffin Canning made his first start for the San Diego Padres on Sunday, returning from an Achilles injury that ended his season last year with the Mets. Canning looked pretty darn good, giving up only one earned run in 5 innings. This kind of effort offers hope to the Padres staff.

Blanche seems to think showing papers to enter a restaurant is normal. That’s the real tell. The authoritarian move is to normalize ID checkpoints in ordinary life, then use that imagined normality to justify barriers to voting.

In 2022, #SCOTUS cleared the way for Alabama and Louisiana (directly) and three other states (indirectly) to use congressional district maps that district courts had struck down (in rulings SCOTUS later *affirmed*). Those rulings were responsible for the Republicans' margin of control in the House.
