Trump Yesterday: "I wasn't involved in the creation of [the $1.776 billion slush fund] and the negotiation." Trump Today: "I was the one who decided how much money would go into the $1.776 billion slush fund." He lies about everything.

Republicans are currently making disarray look relatively arrayed.

NPR reports the U.S. threatened to revoke visas of the Palestinian UN delegation unless the Palestinian ambassador withdrew his candidacy for Vice President of the UN General Assembly. Diplomacy critics warn this signals coercion replacing multilateral norms.

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...

Idaho - you have primary elections tomorrow!!

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.

Foreclosure rates surged by 18% year-over-year in April, as more Americans struggle to keep up with mortgage payments.

Hey, mainstream media: Isn't it about time you start talking to mental-health professionals and reporting to the public about the multiple and manifest mental illnesses that have long been exhibited by the president of the United States?

"It's your job to know that" -- Rep. DeLauro seems to understand that HUD Secretary Scott Turner (who reads from notecards when doing TV hits) is in *way* over his head and asks him a series of factual questions about HUD programs, which of course he can't answer

The first honest thing he’s said

We’re also on the hook for a war no one wants and we’re paying for Trump to have a private army to terrorize us. The Republicans did this to us. Never forget!

This is Tennessee republican governor Bill Lee, who just signed a racist bill eliminating the predominately Black voting district in Memphis. His email is [email protected]. His phone number is 615-741-2001 Feel Free to let this FASCIST anti-American SCUMBAG know what you think!

🚨WHAT? Trump is now preparing Americans to accept gas prices DOUBLING. With oil already around $100 a barrel, Trump says even if it hits $200, it would STILL “be worth it.” Meanwhile, families are struggling to SURVIVE while Trump just shrugs. #TrumpsGasFailure

WALTER BAILEY: “Dr. King took a bullet in the neck. They were shot. Killed. Murdered. Advancing voting rights… it’s an insult to their legacy. To their deaths.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn SenJohnson BrentTaylorTN #Memphis

As Israeli settler attacks on water sources multiply across the West Bank, Palestinian communities that have farmed the land for generations are being forced out. "If this continues, we will barely be allowed to drink," a resident tells Mondoweiss. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/how-... #Palestine #Israel

Israeli officials are "using the word 'cleanse' to describe what they’re doing" in Lebanon. "They’re just bulldozing homes.”

Ted Turner, CNN founder who reshaped global news, dies at 87

A maker of the widely used abortion pill mifepristone asked the Supreme Court on Saturday to block an appellate court ruling that cut off mail-order access to the drug just a day earlier. https://to.pbs.org/4dkDkq3

Trump: “I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

"The program, which provides HIV testing, counseling and support services — will sunset June 30, according to the Indiana state Department of Health. The decision follows a $6.7 million reduction in federal funding that had supported the program..." indianacapitalchronicle.com/2026/04/30/i...

Trump on the US naval blockade against Iran: "It's a very profitable business. We're like pirates." Yes, sometimes you have to tell the truth 😂🤡

As U.S. troops follow President Trump's orders and pull out of northeast Syria, they leave behind men they fought side by side with against the Islamic State group. Amid fears of ethnic cleansing by Turkey, the Kurds have agreed to withdraw from a border area where fighting is underway

Soon-to-be-fired White House Aide: "Yes, sir, I know how much you admire what Mr. Gentile did, but you can’t give him the Medal of Freedom. Why not just commute his sentence instead? And *please* don’t call his 10,000 victims ‘suckers’ in public. Why? Oh, just trust me.”

“Jackson should not be asked to carry the greatest risk without having the authority to govern the assets it owns,” Mayor John Horhn said.

The United Arab Emirates is leaving a major global oil alliance in a move that’s been building for years. It highlights rising tensions with Saudi Arabia and could signal a broader political shift in the Gulf region. theconversation.com/uaes-opec-ex...

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. 1/

Well, well, well… look at that. Just minutes after Oversight Democrats filed a resolution to hold Pam Bondi in contempt for dodging her deposition, Republicans found a way to schedule it. See you on May 29, Pam.

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit

Just a reminder...

$400M for Trump's ballroom? On top of: -$1.5T for the Pentagon -$170B for ICE and Border Patrol -$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet -$496M to send National Guard into cities -$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" -$100M for Trump's golf outings But nothing for working people.

The Israeli government, like the Trump admin, is determined to turn every long-time ally into an adversary - something that will haunt both counties for decades.

Sweet Jesus. The taxpayers just gifted $1.25M to this asshole. KBJ was right when she said the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America if Roberts granted Trump immunity.

According to a new analysis, Trump has talked about his ballroom vanity project on a third of the days in 2026 — about as much as he has discussed health insurance and “affordability.” Since he's so determined to bring it up all the time, let's take a look at how corrupt this project really is.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

Something to ponder.. Just had an Officer at my door concerning a 911 call. We don't even use the land line.. Standing at the door after a shower in my Briefs. 🤗 👋

Occasionally, you read stories about athletes being bribed by sports bettors wanting to turn their wagers into sure things. Now, transfer that scenario to the milieu of policymakers on a government paycheck and "traders" in a "prediction market" betting on policy decisions.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office criminalized a 12-year-old rape survivor for “lying” and left her abuser free to assault her again. Ten years later, a federal judge has ruled she can sue over it.

Tucked into President Donald Trump’s new budget request is a plan that could dramatically change — and, critics say, slash — how much money and help states provide to people needing jobs and training. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/15/r...
