WASHINGTON (AP) — Colin Allred wins the Democratic primary for Texas' 33rd US House District.

Everyone sees how pathetic this is, right? How pathetic *he* is? How much he's embarrassing us all? I really feel like this has nothing whatsoever to do with politics, just the nature of humankind and what makes us cringe. I mean this is some really bleak, morbid sundowning here.

We couldn’t get a starker contrast than James Talarico and Ken Paxton. It’s high time for Texas to show they want a leader with character, not another scumbag.

South Carolina Republicans: “Quick, let’s eliminate the one Black district before anyone catches on.” Black South Carolina voters: “Hold my beer.”

Cornyn didn't learn the lesson that the only way to defeat a bully is to fight back. He submitted to Trump instead. When you try to straddle the fence, you end up under the bus.

Protesters cheer and ICE agents silently look on while detainees at Delaney Hall flash the lights inside the facility.

🥳

It’s amazing. Chip Roy and John Cornyn both trump boot lickers, still thrown to the wolves. You either have to be 100 percent committed to the cult, or you’re out. If you want to walk a line, you’ll get crushed. But telling the truth and doing right will free your soul

Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to turn back a four-term incumbent senator and to vote for a man who is basically a walking Thomas Nast illustration of corruption and the cult members said, yes sir, right away, sir.

American politics is bananas. I can’t believe there is a whole generation growing up to think that it’s normal for known criminals to win party nominations and public office.

NEW: DOJ closes Biden autopen investigation. Jeanine Pirro failed to make a case, and never even brought it to a grand jury www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

this is a good spot and also kudos to whoever is doing sound for the team, talarico's voice sounds great

Dude, your boss is currently trying to steal $1,776,000,000 from the Treasury. And that’s just *one* of his scams. You people have ZERO self-awareness.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

This plan is actively *insane.* Airlines cannot divert large numbers of international flights from one city to another; they'd just have to cancel flights en masse, causing enormous economic damage that splashed waaaaay beyond a few big cities that were the target.

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

Talarico: Ken Paxton embodies everything that’s wrong with our political system. He was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at our expense. And that kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.

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

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

UPDATE: After loud backlash, @KnoxSchools has put ‘ROOTS’, a Pulitzer-prize winning state book, back in schools. tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/26/k...

Collins: Bezos said that you could double his taxes and it's not going to help that teacher in Queens. Mamdani: I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Anybody else hate the obviously spammy invitations lately where a scantily clad but vaguely-shown young woman wastes her summary telling me she uses Bluesky to learn people's views while avoiding ads? Block! Go away!

80 next month. 3 Walter Reed trips in 13 mos. CT scans, swollen ankles, slurred words, dozing off beside world leaders. Obvious decline. The White House response? Posting screenshots of CNN anchors blinking. These people are running the country! #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/210903/...

Dr Jonathan Reiner: "One other interesting thing I noted was that when the president left Walter Reed, he posted that he had a perfect '6 month physical.' So we're changing from a routine yearly physical to, I guess as a nod to his age, a 6 month cycle for evaluations."

Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is bc the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to him than the defeat itself"

BREAKING: Court Rejects Alabama House Map, Calling It Unfair to Black Voters Our teams have been working nonstop around the clock since the Callais decision to defend the maps in Alabama. This is a critical victory & affirmation that Black voters deserve fair maps. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

Dear United States, Have you had enough of being governed by a deranged, demented dolt and his entourage of callous, corrupt criminals? Canada

We're ready...VOTE, VOTE, VOTE 💙

They overturned Roe vs. Wade. They brought back Jim Crow. They got a comedian thrown off the air for mocking the president too well. Death by gun still the leading cause of death for children. Now they’re turning your water brown to feed AI. What’s it gonna take?

He means white people.

Chris Van Hollen says that Biden & other Democrats have enabled Israeli apartheid while pretending to support two states, so he calls for •Recognizing State of Palestine •End all taxpayer funded assistance to Israel •Impose sanctions •Blacklist complicit US officials •Endorse Arab Peace Initiative

A narcoleptic 80-year old man with black hands, a neck rash and cankles doesn’t need three “annual” physicals in the same year if he is in “perfect health.”

If the White House is safe enough for Trump to host this fucking thing, why does he need a “drone proof” ballroom?

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

YIKES: The White House is having a complete meltdown over coverage of Donald Trump’s health. To compensate for Trump’s decline and constant dozing off, they’re posting photos and short videos of CNN hosts looking down or blinking.

We just learned last week that Kat was never truly indicted. The grand jury in Chicago returned a no true bill. Prosecutors then had to tell anyone who didn't want an indictment to leave and cajole someone in the hallway until they returned an indictment. Please, go to jury duty and raise hell.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

The idiots accept the blatant lie anyway.

🚨ICE attacks protesters outside Delaney Hall ICE Prison in Newark, NJ on day 5 of massive prisoner hunger/labor strike. Sources tell us ICE is actively trying to transfer out leaders of hunger strike. We've been ON THE GROUND for 5 days. SUPPORT our ON THE GROUND reporting 🔽

CNN put together a montage of Trump officials, including Trump himself, saying over and over again for nearly three months now that gas prices are about to drop, any day now

Wow, an unexpected twist in South Carolina: Enough Republicans joined Democrats to seemingly kill the effort to eliminate Clyburn's seat. www.postandcourier.com/politics/sc-...

On our way to court!!! But not as a defendant!!! Very cool!!!!!

Holy shit this cartoon.

When he’s right, he’s right.

yeah this is just lying like, this isn’t fudging, “we’ve only used this projection that’s favorable to us” type statistics manipulation like we’re used to, this is just flat out up is down black is white lying in the service of pushing nazi policy and it should be treated as such

BOOM 💥 NEW: South Carolina Republicans saw the insane lines and slammed the brakes on another gerrymandering circus targeting Black voters and Jim Clyburn. S Carolina Dems made it clear: changing maps after voting already started is crazy work!

They think Americans are idiots and they gleefully base their propaganda entirely on lying.

I just watched video of 5 ICE agents abducting a guy from a courthouse in my area of Massachusetts. Periodic reminder that ICE hasn't gone anywhere. They are still here and still terrorizing immigrants.
