May the GOP have its ashes scattered & smothered like hash browns at Waffle House on a Saturday night! Signed, Former 30+ year voting & donating Republican

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

The South Carolina Senate abruptly adjourned its special redistricting session Tuesday without passing a redistricting bill — a setback for President Donald Trump’s campaign to rig the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The UFC fight on the White House lawn is a disgrace. History will remember this being an extreme low for our nation, among many other lows we keep bumping up against

You spoke & our state senators listened! Well done, South Carolina! Remember the reps who tried to shove you into different districts after voting started just because Trump told them to. They are ALL up for re-election in Nov. If they voted FOR redistricting, I’m voting AGAINST them. #SCpol #SC01

Today is the first day of early voting in the palmetto state. I’m out of state right now but so inspired watching my friends bust their butts getting to the polls to vote in South Carolina! Y’all, THIS is what democracy looks like. Don’t allow our legislature to throw out your votes. #SC01 #SCpol

It is Memorial Day. As I say every year, we should be grateful for those who sacrificed themselves for America. We should also think of what kind of country they signed up to protect and die for. Are we the country they wanted? If we are not, it is our duty to become what they believed in.

“How much Iran will get away with, and how much humiliation the United States will endure, has yet to be ironed out by the negotiators, but the war is now almost certain to end with Tehran’s theocrats firmly in power,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/fNGBk4cQ

Thoughts and prayers, maga.

The “I was just following orders” doesn’t win me over as a voter. I need a leader for the lowcountry, not a follower who remains silent until it personally impacts her. #SC01 #SCpol

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

The sad thing about this is that those who support him gobble up this stupidity with no questions asked.

Our government is for sale to the highest bidders at home and abroad. The US government is an active, ongoing, organized criminal enterprise. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Is there really anything better than republicans who are retiring or have lost their primaries not giving a single care about dropping truth bombs all over Trump and his remaining cowardly suckups?

Release the #EpsteinFiles! Punish the guilty and their enablers. No more delays. No more cover-ups. Justice matters.

Fox News Segment Warns of High Gas Prices Ahead of Memorial Day Travel: ‘Food for Thought’ #Mediaite

Today’s Thought…..

The taxpayer-funded payout for cop beaters is in jeopardy My "DAY AHEAD" editorial note Lots of news in here: open.substack.com/pub/macfarla...

The same people who told me to calm down about a “cold” in the spring of 2020 are telling me gas prices will fall soon. 🙄

Everything has gone up under this administration except my tolerance for this ugly ass walking bag of corruption.

It’s a Koolaid slushie for all of the January 6th criminals who will receive tax payer funds from the Trump slush fund. Deplorable.

I bet I know why Mount Pleasant doesn’t want to be lumped into the same congressional district as Myrtle Beach.

Lindsey Graham seems like his entire life, identity and self-worth depend on him a) being a Senator and b) being close to whoever has power. He’s like a male groupie. But he also seems like a guy who wouldn’t know what to do with his life if he wasn’t Senator anymore. It’s really sad.

The South Carolina House of Representatives advanced a new congressional gerrymander early Wednesday, paving the way for lawmakers to quickly redraw the state’s map to dismantle its lone majority-Black district days before early voting starts in the primary. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

To my friends who are still trying to save the Republican Party… Just stop. Fight for the country instead.

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

WATCH: Swamp creature. Warmonger. Bootlicker. Here’s the first TV ad in our campaign to unseat Lindsey Graham.

NEW: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) offered amendment to block Trump’s newly-established $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money from "making any payments to convicted child predators" Multiple pardoned Jan 6 rioters have been accused of child abuse Amendment was blocked

It is primary day in Georgia. Get out and vote, y’all. (And if you don’t vote then don’t come on here complainin’!)

"Perhaps the traders on Wall Street should try adopting a whole new acronym," Matthew Lynn writes. "How about MUTE, for 'mindfully unsubscribing from Trump entirely'?" https://wapo.st/4dsP0px

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

Bless their hearts!

Comey: “The president of the United States cannot use the Justice Department to target people because he wants to retaliate against them. We just can’t operate as a republic if that happens.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

The problem Republicans have created for themselves is that not only have they alienated black voters for at least a few more generations but they’ve also angered tens of millions of white voters who loathe racism and don’t want to be associated with a party that rolls back Civil Rights. Watch.

Tennessee does have a few patriotic elected republicans who remember and honor their oath to the constitution. Mr Alexander is one. Lamar Alexander Wants Republicans to Stand Up to Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

The prices at the grocery store every Saturday morning are a punch to the face Just brutal There will be unpredictable and transcendent political fallout in an election year.

What are doing this Saturday morning? I’m In Charleston at a congressional candidate forum. Will the SC legislature allow the current maps to stand? #SC01 #SCpol

“This isn’t how things are supposed to work in America,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointee based in New York. “Unquestionably, the laws of human decency condemn such villainy.” www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

As Trump boarded Air Force One to leave Beijing on Friday, the paltry set of deliverables underscored the rushed and chaotic planning for the trip.
