Bernie Sanders nails it.

After Trump succeeds in silencing every comedian on network TV, shifting the algorithm and AI moderation to silence every critic on the Internet will be nothing, an afterthought. Remember, every social media billionaire was at the inauguration.

If Donald Trump's tax returns can no longer be audited he no longer has that pretend reason not to release all of them.

Trump’s propagandists are trying to spin Colbert’s firing as a business decision. But Trump has made it crystal clear this was a personal vendetta. His apologists refuse to admit Trump campaigns for the removal of hosts he hates and, for the most part, TV networks are complying.

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.

I love that Stephen Colbert said to himself, before I die I want to sing with Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello. So he did. He’s earned that.

Stephen Colbert has been a gift for 11 years- brilliant, stunningly knowledgeable, kind & hilarious . From his home, he with his family, helped us thru dark pandemic times. He won 11 Emmy Awards, 2 Grammys & 3 Peabody Awards. Thank you for all of it Stephen. We'll miss you ❤️

while his run lasted, Colbert presided over an era when political TV comedy could take a side and still succeed. Or actually, two eras, which almost perfectly coincided with his two shows: one that parodied politics, one made in a time when politics became a parody of itself. (via @nytimes.com)

There is no such thing as "gender ideology." These bigots have got to go. They are unfit. 🚨🚨🚨 Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

This week, the House passed the Don’t Say Trans bill (& pushed forward the CHARLIE Act) All 209 Republicans & Dem Reps Fields (LA), Davis (NC), Gillen (NY), Kaptur (OH), Cuellar & González (TX), Vindman (VA) & MGP (WA) have betrayed their constituents by voting for this hateful piece of legislation

Please send this message to Schumer and Jeffries. Call them. Keep calling all your reps and senators and ask them to impeach AND introduce legislation to dissolve this fund.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

Gay marriage and abortion are "abominations," but a child predator in the WH is "gods will"? Stay far away from me.

The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

It doesn’t matter if gas hits $15/gallon, the stock markets crash, all our farms go bankrupt and everything is gobbled up by the oligarchs, republicans can always count on convincing 20-30% of the population that those different from them are hurting more than they are. Hate is a helluva drug.

Trump promised during his campaign filled with false promises and lies that our electric bills would be cut in half 6 months after he took office.

Peak toxic capitalism: When a president intentionally manipulates stock markets to make millions for himself, while half the country isn’t sure if it’s a crime or business savvy.

Hunter Biden gets candid on Elon Musk: "You've got some motherf-cker who's made over $251 billion being a United States citizen, that got here and stayed here illegally before he got his citizenship, sitting here lecturing us on who we should allow into the US"

Well said, Harrison.

#Project2025 is here and Black people and women are already feeling the heat. If you haven’t seen this video, take a look and take heed. There is no time to play games. Thanks @isaachayes3.bsky.social for this powerful message. #SheShed #Pinks

They raised prices so much that they now make the same profit they made selling 5x more volume. Is McD's in business TO feed people, or are they in business to maximize shareholder profits? They measure success by dollar profits rather than how many bellies they fill. www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/...

SCOTUS has essentially said that the South has changed so much since 1965 that VRA is no longer necessary. American society stands at a crossroads: either transition to democracy or regression into barbarism. Which will we choose? NYT gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/o...

"This Supreme Court has shown that it is nothing but an illegitimate arm of the Republican Party. You have Supreme Court justices who swore up and down they respected precedent as it relates to Roe-- the first thing they did is overturn Roe. Same exact thing with redistricting."

One of my pet peeves is hearing someone say something like "God protected me" after a disaster. Such statements made while others died implies selective divine favoritism. Survival is probability and chance exposure. Nobody is chosen. You are not special.

This is the language of the Jim Crow South of a century ago — restored to power by John Roberts and the conservatives on the Supreme Court. Shameful.

A U.S. House of Representatives petition to force a floor vote on providing security aid to Ukraine and imposing new sanctions on Russia reached the 218-signature threshold to move ahead on Wednesday, the latest successful bid by lawmakers to defy the chamber's Republican leadership.

Doug Burgum my house is powered by solar and this screen shot was taken at 5:14 pm today. My system produced 47.9 kWh and I’ve used 7.4 kWh today. If you look down at the bottom my battery has enough energy to run my home for the next 18 hours. Solar is the way you lying moron.

"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

The economy’s on life support and this guy’s acting like he’s a character from a Tom Clancy novel.

In 1984, Reagan won a landslide election and Republicans seemingly had a lock on national politics for the next 50 years. Now the GOP has to gerrymander and cancel voting rights, all just to keep even. That’s not a strategy.

🚨BREAKING: The Republican National Committee announced Tuesday that it is deploying staff — including “poll watchers” and “election observers” — to at least 17 states in what it calls a nationwide “election integrity” operation ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"I don't think about America's financial situation, I don't think about anybody" To those in Congress who enable this lunatic, you are to blame. No amount of gerrymandering will help you. America gets it.

"They also hope to look into the recruitment of the girls, some allegedly from Donald Trump’s nearby Mar-a-Lago residence." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

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

As the military capabilities of Ukraine continue to improve allowing them to strike targets deep inside Russia, and as casualties continue to mount for Putin’s barbarian horde, Russia will be forced to end this war. Ukrainians deserve all the credit, although Trump will claim it.

Credit-card balances: all-time high. Applications for credit: four-year high. Delinquent credit: nine-year high. A "hamster wheel" of credit, says the NYT: @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/b...

Musk skipped out on Paris prosecutors’ summons in Apr, just as he evaded #Epstein subpoenas from the USVIs. Trump’s DOJ is not cooperating with this investigation, just as they are blocking London’s Met from obtaining DOJ docs on Andrew. Next admin must cooperate! www.lemonade.fr/en/internati...
