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.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

The proper headline here is CHARGES DISMISSED DUE TO DOJ MISCONDUCT www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/u...

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

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.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Alexander Vindman is LEADING against Republican incumbent Ashley Moody in Florida. If Democrats can win in Florida, they'll take back the House AND the Senate in November. This is amazing.

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

BREAKING: Minnesota has INDICTED ICE officer Christian Castro in the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. 4 counts of assault & 1 count of lying. This is the SECOND ICE officer charged by the Hennepin County DA. No charges yet for the murders of Good and Pretti. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.

The count on you being exhausted by the firehose of corruption and bullshit. But THIS. THIS is grounds to march on DC and demand the END of this mafia administration. This is the biggest middle finger to America.

Anti-voting group released a sweeping new “model laws” handbook that urges lawmakers and election officials to restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, conduct mass voter challenges and empower officials to deny/delay certification. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

All it takes to call a recall election of Governor Landry in Louisiana for his disenfranchisement of Black voters is 500,884 signatures. That's just 20% of the electorate, when he won his last election with 52%. If you're in Louisiana, get on board with this effort. www.audacy.com/wwl/news/loc...

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

We need to flip four senate seats this November to overcome the Fetterman problem.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I read these words and I hear Bull Connor and George Wallace saying them.

In case you are wondering how DOJ is doing in court.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

The president made the remarks before leaving for a trip to China.

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

NEWS: Virginia Dems have filed a motion asking the Supreme Court of Virginia to delay issuing its mandate striking down the congressional redistricting referendum. The filing states the Commonwealth intends to file an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court of seeking review of the decision.

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...

The idea that a state or federal 'supreme' court can overturn an election (the voice of the people) or that they can legislate from the bench – making up laws out of whole-cloth, is despotic AF and an outright Juristocracy.

Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.

Press Robinson worries he is now a witness to the Voting Rights Act's dramatic demise after the Supreme Court sharply limited the last vestige of the landmark law. “History is now repeating itself,” he said. https://wapo.st/4eYBQ67

Alabama has asked a federal court to allow it to return to a 2023 congressional map that courts previously deemed an illegal racial gerrymander. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It happened again. The most corrupt administration in history.

Can’t believe the GOP is redistricting the entire country just to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Tennessee has released their new redistricting map.

Video of Howard Lutnick's testimony today regarding Jeffrey Epstein must be released to the public. This is a massive cover-up and it's 100% within our rights to see it.

Ted Lieu: "I have a red line in determining which Democrat I will support for President That person must commit to removing the stain of Trump's name from every single federal building, & kick it off with a grand public ceremony w/ fireworks – you think I'm kidding, i'm not kidding"

Note the sudden high pitch in James Comer's voice when he speaks about releasing the transcripts of Howard Lutnick's testimony re his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Why so nervous, Rep. Comer?

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

I’m begging a reporter to make a spreadsheet of the dates he shows up with this. I’m telling you it’s once a month, consistent with infusions of Kisunla for early stage Alzheimer’s. (I may do this myself if some hotshot doesn’t take me up on it.)

Listen to “The Headlines,” which brings you the biggest stories of the day from the New York Times reporters who are covering them, all in about 10 minutes.

Kushner and Witkoff have everything covered. Keep things in the family.

Today, Elias Law Group attorneys, in partnership with the National Redistricting Foundation, filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Equal Ground Education Fund and 18 Florida voters to challenge the State’s newly enacted 2026 congressional map. elias.law/press-releas...

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

THE TIMELINE 📌 April 28: All 6 conservative justices— John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett— showed up to a white-tie dinner at the White House honoring King Charles. 📌 Next morning: The Voting Rights Act was gutted in a 6-3 decision.

The Washington Post won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for scrutinizing the Trump administration's sweeping, choppy cuts and changes to federal agencies, and The Associated Press won the award Monday for international reporting. https://to.pbs.org/4dnsYFQ

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.
