It just struck me that there are about 1,600 pardoned J6 rioters, which works out to about $1 million per rioter in the fund

NEW | Wind and solar just produced more electricity than gas globally for the first month on record In April, they produced 531 TWh (22%), compared with 477 TWh (20%) for gas. Wind and solar generation has more than doubled in the last five years.

These mfers know that box office numbers are public, right?

Whitehouse: "If you look at all the Court's elections decisions, every one has the effect of helping the GOP. If you look at all their regulatory decisions, every one has the effect of helping the fossil fuel industry that funds the GOP. You can predict with perfect certainty what happens."

they are really looking at the iran debacle and going, yep, can’t see any red flags here, we’re gonna go invade Cuba

Getting the justification in, just like Venezuela.

taking tax dollars to pay insurrectionists. which (by the way) the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit: "[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States...."

He’s right — Bezos pays barely any taxes at all right now, so doubling them won’t do much. We’ll need to increase them by at least an order of magnitude.

Interesting, this is the “more liberal” son. Ezra and Yglesias just got a payday. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/b...

“The U.S. and Israel bombed Ahmadinejad to free Ahmadinejad but the plan failed after Ahmadinejad did not enjoy being bombed as much as he thought he would. Meanwhile, the Kentucky 6th district has deposed its representative due to his opposition to pedophilia.” Sure. Fine. Whatever. I give up.

The proclamations of Trump strength from primary victories is overblown. The incumbent president influencing primaries isn’t remarkable. What’s remarkable is that a sizable % of GOP voters still backed Massie in spite of Trump putting his full weight against him. Looks weak.

I want you to prepare us for a future where the economic wellbeing of our society is not based on a volatile commodity that when used is also dangerous for our planet and health. Ty.

The big story is about the unappropriated, misappropriated funds being dumped into an account for the enrichment of (in some to-be-determined combination) Trump personally, his personal lawyers and political lieutenants, and his insurrectionist rioting henchmen. 1/

COLLINS: You told me that anyone who assaulted a police officer on J6 should go to prison. So why not rule out given them taxpayer money? JD VANCE: ... Well Kaitlan, what I said is we're gonna look at everything case by case C: So why not rule it out? VANCE: I don't rule things out categorically

Inconvenient to acknowledge the provisions of LOAC when doing so might imply your boss committed a war crime. Well done, @crow.house.gov.

"Republicans blocked a law to keep your taxpayer money from going to convicted pedophiles"

House Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries commits to “massive Supreme Court reform” if #Democrats retake the House in the midterms #CAPIdeas #SCOTUS @americanprogress.bsky.social

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

All these worthless shitheads can come up with is everyone living in a garrison state, because they're sociopathic racist dipshits.

Ezra Klein and I talk gerrymandering, proportional representation, and all kinds of madness. This is an episode of the Ezra Klein Show you won't want to miss! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/o...

Trump is trying to replant apartheid.

Get yours now!

Call your Congress People today and tell them NO to trump & Blanche stealing our money to pay trump's cop killers. Live updates: Blanche will face questions from lawmakers over a nearly $1.8B fund to compensate Trump allies.

What you see in this screengrab are young kids with their hands on each other's shoulders as police escort them to safety after shooters attack their school and the mosque housing it. In another context, you'd think they're playing a game. This is not normal. This is not ok.

This is not who we are. This is not who we have always been. This is Christian Nationalist drivel.

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

And requiring 5 times the power and water supplied to surrounding counties.

Yeah… he can stop right there

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Yes, yes, going back to the days of Louisiana elections before the Voting Rights Act will bring back "fairness" to the system. Yes. Sure.

AOC's march to the sea

The disdain I have for the people who helped this institutionalized cruelty grows by the fucking day.

WEIU-TV, a PBS affiliate at Eastern Illinois University shut down Friday due to the loss of federal funding for public media. As experts have noted, smaller rural TV and radio stations have suffered most, located where residents already have limited news sources. READ: https://loom.ly/aT-pX4w

Key point: solar geoengineering treats the symptom while emissions keep rising. The honest stack is cut fossil fuels fast, then remove residual CO2 we cannot avoid. Dimming the sun does neither, and stopping it later risks a temperature snap-back.

All you have to do is look at Jesus’s car to know this is true.

The Intel chair hasn’t read the treaty. If he had, he’d know there’s only been one time NATO was required to help the U.S. and that was after 9/11. And they did.

Are you trying to secede/declare independence? Violence might work. Are you a colonized people trying to overthrow your colonial masters? Violence could work. Are you trying to save/establish a democratic government? Violence is most likely to win popular support for your enemies.

It is so wild how somehow there are *always exactly enough votes to prevent good things from happening*. Crazy that.

32 House Democrats joined the GOP to vote to criminalize bail funds. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026169

All I want to hear is the Democratic Party begin putting forward electoral and judicial reform ideas. Nothing changes if these two things don’t.

Rails-to-Trails projects are very popular and fun ways to use old infra. But, I’m really disappointed and frustrated by the unquestioned support given to the Crosstown Trail in Chicago. If there is ONE rail right-of-way we should be making a transit line it’s that. Such a shame to loose it.

This is the graf where my blood pressure peaked

The rest of the world is already cutting their own deals on Hormuz, inviting Ukraine to NATO exercises, and looking elsewhere for how to handle international health crises like hantavirus. Fox News, like Trump, has its brain frozen in the past.

Repowering Altamount Pass wind projects - some of which are 40+ years old. This qualifies as a no-brainer. #energysky

‘…The upshot of recent developments is that the Purcell principle “seems like it’s really not a principle at all,” Levitt said. “It seems the Supreme Court is picking winners and losers, not doing law.”’ (7/n)
