Words are cheap.

Cubans are starving and have gone weeks without electricity and clean water due to Trump's blockade of any oil reaching the island. Here's why we aren't covering this.

Amend the Constitution to create a mechanism for recalling senators. Call it the Fetterman Amendment.

Recall Polis.

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover died on 5/2/72; one of his final acts was to write an article for TV GUIDE published posthumously OTD 53 years ago. In it, he spoke of his immense pride in the popularity of the ABC series which bore the agency's name, for which he controlled scripts, casting, sponsors.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

On the anniversary of Gilda Radner's passing in 1989, four of her most memorable SNL characters:

It was 37 years ago today we lost Gilda Radner to cancer at the age of 42.

"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?" Seriously, do not watch this if you're triggered. It was a traumatic experience for thousands of children: youtu.be/s_xBoTIZft8?...

"Her hobbies include staring, and trying to milk animals that don't give milk, say hello to Colleen Fernman!"

Marv Wolfman & Gene Colan reunite from their spectacular Dracula at Marvel to give us DC's imaginative and truly creepy NIGHT FORCE (released OTD in 1982), but the horror book boom of the 70s is gone, and it struggles to reach 14 issues. I'm still in mourning. Would make a spectacular TV series.

The NY Times' news coverage will never get beyond its reflexive framing of Trump's fascism as "testing the limits" with an "expansive interpretation of presidential power.” On the Times' euphemism desk, the insurrection is always in soft focus. We should give up hoping they'll ever change.

TriStar's GODZILLA opened OTD in 1998.

Happy International Bee Day.

Gardner Fox was born OTD in 1911. A prolific pulp writer and novelist, he wrote over 1500 stories for DC and co-created such DCU mainstays as Hawkman, Doctor Fate, the original Flash, Zatanna and Barbara Gordon, truly a founding father of the company. He died in 1986.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

If we're gonna invade Cuba because of rampant government corruption, someone needs to invade us for the same reason.

Dave's final LATE SHOW was 11 years ago today. Still miss him and Paul.

This seemed like a pipe dream, but polls are indicating it's within our grasp. Make it so.

Happy 80th birthday to the eternal Cher.

It's been 55 years since this 16-year-old fanboy met legendary comics writer Gardner F. Fox, born on this date in 1911. He co-created the Golden Age Flash, Hawkman, and so much more. How lucky I was to walk among giants in those days!

When you lay it all out, it's VERY clear what Trump has in mind. And it demands immediate planning and action to stymie his extralegal plans. Things like removing GOP judges and justices, denying appropriations, regular impeachment demands... Hoping normal means will suffice is deranged.

Me and @libradunn1.bsky.social have filled a lawsuit to stop Trump's slush fund payouts to January 6th insurrectionists. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Years later, I’m not sure I would have had the chance to serve if Barney Frank hadn’t demonstrated that courage, commitment, and skill can matter more than others’ imagination about what voters are “ready” for. He will be missed, and remembered, for generations.

Seeing coverage of Congress as a young man in Indiana, I remember watching Barney Frank run circles around bad-faith arguments with his formidable intellect and unique political style.

Just imagine what the families of the 13 dead U.S. service members think when they hear Trump talk like this.

Maybe I should have helped attack the capitol so I can afford groceries.

Rest in peace, Barney. Keep kicking ass on the other side.

Can Massie mount an independent run? He should.

OTD in 1984 CBS taped the legendary Michael Larson episode of the game show PRESS YOUR LUCK in which - after memorizing patterns on the board - he shocked producers by winning $110,237 in cash/prizes ($363k today). The historic episode later aired in two parts in June.

THE DEADLY BEES opened in the USA OTD in 1967. Robert "Psycho" Bloch wrote the screenplay for Karloff and Lee, but creative interference angered him so much that he reportedly refused to see the finished film. With an appearance by the rock band the Byrds (get it?).

Regardless of one's views on her conviction and sentencing, in no way was the federal government involved. This is just Trump handing taxpayer dollars to criminals he likes.

🎶 "I want to be Jackie Onassis I want to wear a pair of dark sunglasses I want bodyguards all around I'm anxious to avoid an autograph hound Tabloids can make my name a household word I'll belong to millions but be free as a bird" 🎶 Jackie died 32 years ago today at age 64 from cancer.

Happy 81st, Mr. Townshend. Rock on.

Joey Ramone would have been 75 today. He passed at the age of 49 from lymphoma. Still rockin' somewhere...

Share someone who looks stylish wearing SUNGLASSES. 🖤

Sure sounds like Trump is trying to make the White House into a fortress for when he refuses to leave office.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

Happy 78th birthday to the incomparable Grace Jones.
