Forward-thinking China is blazing a trail developing renewable energy that makes the Middle East's fossil fuels irrelevant. It doesn't need to turn to the backward-thinking United States for climate-damaging energy solutions.

Senate Ds enjoy an ideal political environment (perhaps best since 2006, when they picked up 6 seats) and the best recruits in years, reminding voters that if 2 more yrs of MAGA white nationalist rule the country will be unrecognizable and perhaps unsalvageable. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

GILLIBRAND: How did we bomb 22 schools? COOPER: There's no indication we have G: So how do you explain publicly available information that 22 schools have been hit and multiple hospitals? C: There's no way we can corroborate that G: Have you investigated those claims? C: We have not

I don't care who uses it and what it is used for,but the presidential pardon power needs to go. It never should have been in the Constitution in the first place. But Trump is abusing the hell out of it to favor his supporters regardless of merit.

Jason Collins, the first openly gay player in the NBA, died yesterday from brain cancer. My heart is heavy. Rest in Power to a trailblazer. In a time where we having more open conversations about LGBTQ+ athletes, we should remember those that paved the way.

on this day 1961 "a white mob twice attacks a Freedom Riders bus near Anniston, Alabama, before fire-bombing the bus and attacking the civil rights protesters who flee the burning vehicle." time for us to truly reform America.

I will pay a White House reporter 1,000 US dollars to ask Trump at his next press conference a yes or no on Theseus’ ship, or if he considers Diogenes more of a stoic or or more of a cynic.

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

Donald Trump should have been arrested on 1/6/21 and held without bail until convicted and imprisoned. That’s what should have happened.

This could be HUGE news for us anti-Trump/Putin folks.

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

Brendan Carr is a criminal. 18 U.S.C. § 242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law): This statute makes it a felony for a person acting under color of law to willfully deprive someone of their constitutional or legal rights.

"Carr's latest campaign to menace hosts of The View & destroy the independence of broadcast media may make him a household name. Because this time ABC & Disney are fighting back, exposing his blatant misconduct as he schemes to censor outlets for refusing to toe the MAGA line." — @lizdye.bsky.social

House Oversight's Robert Garcia says Dems will release a new report May 12 that he says will detail, from bank records, how the sweetheart deal that Alex Acosta helped further enrich Jeffrey Epstein and expand the network of sexual abuse of adolescent girls. "This report is just the beginning."

@congressmanraja.bsky.social on Ghislaine Maxwell: "She participated in the sexual abuse of girls. She recruited victims for Epstein. She should not get a pardon or any clemency."

And Trumpers blame school systems and teachers. The problem is the disdain for the teaching profession and educated people in general. As far as I know, the USA is the only society in which the term "intellectual" is used as a pejorative.

For those MAGA still hanging on- just say it out loud "We love Trump bec we are racist simpletons, but that pesky little pedophilia thing is a bit hard to continue to ignore." www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

We will hear from Maria Farmer today during this House Oversight field hearing . She will appear via video.

Great Britain has been ahead of the US when dealing with the revelations in the Epstein files. Epstein survivor, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, ‘Nobody’s Girl’ has been named Book of the Year at the British Book Awards! #ProudBlue #GreatBritian www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

We've finally won the war against woke

The testimony from these survivors is so powerful and emotional. Stunningly raw. The continued traumatization of these victims is unforgivable.

Relative to expectations, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the biggest disappointment in baseball so far.And I'm fine with that.

Epstein Survivor hearing happening in West Palm Beach now. We stand with survivors.

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema will go down in history as two of the people who stood at the doorway and blocked the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act when democracy and Black political power were under assault.

@robertgarcia.house.gov reminding Americans that we have only received half of the Epstein Files from the Trump DOJ and many of the documents produced so far are illegally redacted.

A gallon of gas is about to be the same as the minimum wage in Iowa…

You’ve probably had your limit at this point, please read this explanation of what happened yesterday and share it widely. It’s more important than ever to make sure people understand why we have to vote for democracy and we have to get started now if we want to be able to vote.

Roberts: "The Supreme Court sometimes has to make unpopular decisions." Yes, like rulings favoring oligarchic kleptomaniacs & against the principles of equality, civil rights, voting rights, women's rights, democratic elections, due process, and one BIG Narcissistic Sociopath who belongs in jail.

I believe I was told quite clearly that inflation like this means the president has to leave office.

NEWS: Epstein survivors testify for first time publicly—I am bringing it to you live. Trump launches overnight tirade on Truth social about arresting Obama—it is not normal and I won’t normalize it. Inflation rise, economic disapprovals hit 70%, and more. Subscribe to support:

To protect Trump, Bill Barr utterly corrupted the release of the Mueller report and covered up what was in the report. Bill Barr is no “man of integrity.”

And now the Reflecting Pool looks like it is filled with toilet bowl cleaner.

Marco Rubio is denying visas to tech researchers because free speech. (Seriously!)

Apparently Americans do not care about corruption, war, democracy, their first amendment rights, the right to vote, the environment, healthcare...or pretty much anything except the price of a gallon of gasoline. At least that's the message of most of the political analysis I'm reading. Must be true.

I love how when Democrats propose a relatively boring and novel legal theory, corporate media frames it as a FURIOUS AND DESPERATE FAR-FETCHED BANK SHOT, but when Trump tries some crazy shit like overturning birthright citizenship, it's something to consider seriously.

"With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished. ...
