Republicans on the outs with Trump are finally speaking with clarity about him. But don't forget that they've known it all along. New from @saletan.bsky.social:

Some hope in voting wars comes from a court in an unlikely place — Alabama. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

Nothing illustrates the difference between the two parties heading into the midterms better than these 2 clips together of RNC Chair Joe Gruters and Dem nominee James Talarico talking about the senate election in Texas.

Is the enshittification of Google with AI driving you crazy? Imagine what it's like for newsrooms and other publishers seeing their web traffic disappear under an apocalypse called "Google Zero" Google and the threat to democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

GOP Rep. Mike Flood got grilled during a town hall — getting booed at several points: "Iran war, White House ballroom, security for the White House ballroom, immigration enforcement, Trump arch … the reflecting pool renovation, slush fund for crooks and the farm bill. How do we pay for all this?"

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Casualties in Iran War Rise as Military Strikes Begin Again Despite a pause in hostilities during the rickety ceasefire U.S.-Iran ceasefire, the number of American casualties has ticked up to 423. theintercept.com/2026/05/26/u...

This isn’t even on most people’s radar. Let’s change that. Tell your members of Congress to stop Trump’s destruction of the US Forest Service and share the link everywhere:

Hundreds inside an ICE concentration camp are on a work and hunger strike at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and other hunger strikes have been announced in New Mexico and Southern California. In Tacoma, WA, over 100 detainees announced the formation of the 'Union of People Kidnapped by ICE.'

Despite a pause in hostilities during the rickety ceasefire U.S.-Iran ceasefire, the number of American casualties has ticked up to 423.

President Trump is trying to take $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars to give to his friends and allies. It’s illegal – and we will prove it in court. apnews.com/article/irs-...

The deeper lesson of the Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act is not that we must fight back. It’s that people have been fighting all along – and all alone. “Black voters in Louisiana didn’t need this ruling to tell them what was at stake,” Joe Kennedy III writes.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus urged more than 250 companies, including Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Starbucks and Tesla, to condemn recent redistricting efforts in Republican-led states.

Breaking: South Carolina Senate just failed to invoke cloture on 7-0 gerrymandered map eliminating Jim Clyburn's majority Black district. It appears redistricting is dead for real this time as early voting begins today & 32,000 ballots already cast

The Trump administration authorized contractors to run heavy machinery over a 1,000-year-old geoglyph located in Arizona’s Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, marring the image with a roughly 50-foot-wide scrape mark. wapo.st/3Q1PBqE

NEW: Texans are returning to the polls today to vote in key statewide and congressional primary runoffs that will feature several candidates with histories of election denial. With many expected to win, the races emphasize Trump's vast influence over the GOP in the most populous red state.

“In response to questions from Senate Democrats, Trump’s judicial nominees won’t state the simple fact: Former President Joe Biden won, and, by extension, Trump lost.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

White House Communications Troll, Steven Cheung rushes back to call people names on Twitter.

His message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working class men—more political power to transfer to you. trib.al/OQDUwsh

Remember that time Trump canceled his visit to the American cemetery in France during the WWI commemoration because of rain? Yeah, but that was then. I’m sure he’ll proudly show up at Arlington National Cemetery today to lay a wreath honoring service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Trump is set to visit Walter Reed on Tuesday for his 3rd checkup in 13 months. Asked about the visit, White House officials touted reports Trump is in "exceptional" health. Outside physicians said there are legitimate health questions about the nearly 80-year-old president.

Irony Alert: The draft-dodging war criminal who called our fallen heroes “suckers and losers” just posted this “Happy” Memorial Day message.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

I do remember. It was 2 months ago.

For the first time in my life I’ve had occasion to interact with another country’s medical system and good lord the US system is Not It.

🚨 Bernie Sanders and AOC have announced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Moratorium Act, legislation that would enact a reasonable pause to the development of AI to ensure the safety of humanity. Tell Congress to support this bill!

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

Wow. Almost as surprising as stooge Blanche at MAGA DOJ trying to give Trump family magical tax amnesty. Who ever thought that would be a comparison. apnews.com/article/russ...

Such an unserious person for such a serious job. Our service members and the American people deserve so much better.

After Trump’s deluded statement last night that a deal with Iran was “largely negotiated” - which Iran denied - at a press conference in New Delhi Secretary of State Marco Rubio has again been forced to roll back: “I think we've made some progress."

It's full on rewriting of history. Soon, they will push for changes to textbooks like right-wingers did circa 2010, seeking to replace the civil rights movement with Phyllis Schlafly and Newt Gingrich.

Trump has been pressuring Republican-controlled states to gerrymander their congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. So far, 7 states have obliged. Our redistricting map tracks all the latest updates LIVE:

The Secret Service says officers shot and killed a person who approached a security checkpoint near the White House and fired at them. A bystander was also wounded. https://cnn.it/4v4sx9B

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.
