What a colossal embarrassment

Trump’s ill-conceived war against Iran was a total disaster. The end result? 13 American lives lost, 380 wounded, 29 billion dollars wasted, America’s global credibility destroyed, the US economy in shambles. And after all that, Iran gets to keep its stockpile of enriched uranium. Peak failure. 🏳️

Jfc how did I miss this??? www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Why do cyber punk genera SCI fi stories always have people living on the Golden Gate Bridge in shipping containers?

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

I introduced six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts for compromising the credibility of the Supreme Court. See my release below. cohen.house.gov/media-center...

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

NEW: Defense attorney Chris Parente says there were actually "missing pages" from the "Broadview Six" grand jury transcript.

The stunning incompetence of the @democrats.org is exactly why I’m an independent apnews.com/article/demo...

Jfc that’s some sloppy af ai slop

I know there’s a lot going on politically with the revelation of trumps $1.8 billion dollar slush fund eternal tax audit exemption that he gave himself, but did you know that they ALSO decided this week that you should be forced to drink contaminated water? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Honestly I’m looking forward to seeing what Massie does with his remaining time in office www.npr.org/2026/05/19/n...

“Election betting odds sharply swung away from Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., not long after polls closed for his congressional district’s primary Tuesday” Many people are saying that the fix is in

NEW: The judge has weighed in on the $1.7 slush fund. I promised an update when she did. Please share widely.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

So incredibly corrupt. A slush fund for his friends who attacked the Capitol, ogles, etc. - and himself. www.kwqc.com/2026/05/18/t...

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

If the department of justice is going to piss away my tax dollars by paying off people who assault cops, smear shit on the Capitol, and commit sedition against the country then we need to defund the DoJ apnews.com/article/trum...

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

This is the raving of a delusional man who is unfit and unable to discharge the duties of his office. Every member of his cabinet and Congress who choose to look the other way or deny the danger are complicit.

FACT: Elon Musk spent $290 million to help elect Donald Trump. Since then, the world’s richest man has gained another $563 billion in wealth while slashing humanitarian aid, projected to contribute to the deaths of 4.5 million of the world’s poorest children.

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

Serious question for the Brits of Bluesky: how did voters in the UK look at what’s happening in the US after we elected nationalist right wing nut jobs and say “yea…we want that too”?

I can’t believe we’re going to have to try to survive another trump pandemic
