(The woman dismissed as having anxiety is "not confirmed" as having hantavirus, which is not the same as not having hantavirus and I would like to have seen a statement that she was tested and the test was negative, but.)

We’re at the stage where the President of the United States can call one of his predecessors a traitor and demand his arrest yet that not be worthy of mention when the BBC North America editor talks to the Today Programme #sanewashing

No War Wednesdays is a new phonebank series for ending Trump’s illegal and costly war that Americans oppose overwhelmingly. We contact voters in key states and connect them with their Members of Congress to demand no more funding for Trump’s war of choice in Iran.

TODAY: Help us make sure Republicans hear from constituents about their plan to shovel up to $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol. We’re contacting voters in key states and districts to connect them with their GOP Members of Congress.

The CIA is behind so many diplomatic fuckups and never learns from them.

If Hunter Biden had accompanied President Joe Biden on a state visit to China, every host at Fox News would have talked about nothing else for a year. Here, Fox host Lara Trump posts that she and her husband Eric Trump are joining Eric’s father, President Donald Trump, on his trip to “CHYYYYYNA.”

People are preoccupied with how Trump raises gas prices, but they ignore how he rapes kids.

stat I heard today from a close friend who works in TV and film is that as many as 14,000 workers have given up and left the industry just in the past few years. it’s so devastating

I knew I’d find a use for this eventually

Evidence of one of the most horrific crimes in American history . . . The library—essentially, the Epstein files in analog—is intended to represent the staggering scale of Epstein’s crimes, as well as the impunity with which he carried them out.

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

ICE detained a longtime cook from the restaurant Güero in Portland. It’s the second time in recent weeks a popular restaurant worker has been taken. All of this is so crushingly pointless. Ripping communities and families apart for the sake of terror and an arbitrary line we drew on a map.

“I have asked staff to explore all of our options, including outright refusal of approval of applications.”

Our desalination units kept thousands of gallons of clean drinking water flowing to communities facing severe shortages. Families in Gaza need us, our kitchen teams will keep cooking. #ChefsForGaza (3/3)

This past week alone, our network of dozens of field kitchens, community kitchens, and partner restaurants served more than 5.7 million hot meals to displaced families, healthcare workers, and students. Our mobile bakeries produced 1.5 million loaves of bread. #ChefsForGaza (2/3)

When your home is destroyed and you're living in a tent, it's a daily fight to feed your family. That's why WCK is still in Gaza. Still cooking. Still showing up every day for the families who are counting on us. #ChefsForGaza (1/3)

Across the 30 states on the federal exchange (most of which are GOP-controlled), a whopping 21% of those who signed up during Open Enrollment had already lost coverage as of April. Across the remaining 21 states w/their own ACA exchanges (most of which are Dem-controlled), the drop-off was 8.4%.

If Mayor Keith Wilson wants to allocate $75 million from the Portland Clean Energy Fund to renovate the Moda Center, he’ll have to go through Portland City Council first. And it’s not clear if they’re going to let him.

“Don’t worry buddy, Kristi Noem isn’t around here anymore.”

Malnourished whale found dead on Washington coast, 18th this year

Really hard to imagine a crew more comprehensively crude, malign, incompetent, corrupt and shameless getting hold of a previously mostly functional state than the appalling specimens now running this country into every available ditch.

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

The Speaker may have taken me off committees, but he can't take my voice, my purpose, or my fight for the people. #StillStanding #Tennessee #KeepFighting #ForeverAkilah #FightLikeAMom

Did you get a raise in the past year? So did gas prices & just about everything else. Trump's war with Iran and tariffs have jacked inflation up to its highest levels in years.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

There's a Bloom County for every occasion.

I'm sensing that the folks who like to fight here are fighting again.

CPR saves lives. Yet, women are statistically less likely to receive CPR. No one should be less likely to receive lifesaving care because of their gender. #NationalWomensHealthWeek

Torta restaurant Güero posted on Instagram on May 10 about the detention of their cook, Jose “Poni” Gongora Poot, and linked to a GoFundMe raising money to support his family in the legal fight to bring him home.

Three King County residents may have been exposed to the hantavirus that has killed and sickened passengers aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship.

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

President Obama on the ground in Texas with James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa 💙

Important dates you should know about this upcoming election. You have so many different options to rank me first for Mayor.

Trump wants a ballroom. Americans want to be able to feed their families.

ICE appears to be seeking a new facility near Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, N.Y. The search for this facility began under the Biden Administration.

NEW: A mystery new super PAC with GOP links has suddenly spread more than $1 million around three Dem House primaries in just over a week — including for a sex therapist in Texas accused of antisemitism. The intensive new phase in the House fight —> www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Part of the thinking around this whole trial is that Elon did it to embarrass Sam, but hard to think of anything more embarrassing for Elon than "he had a plan to turn OpenAI into a hereditary monarchy"

Vultures are back and fighting this time.

Also trump is now changing his story about the contractors

He’s not a good president nor was he a good builder

The Epstein class is out in full daylight with this.

Sen. DURBIN: I’ve heard from constituents filing DACA renewals up to 150 days in advance of expiration—as recommended. They’re still losing protections because of Trump Administration delays. Now, those with active DACA status have dropped by 32,000.

It's hard to believe, but this really is the official position of our country's Very Serious Financial Analysts: "it would simply be too horrible if the strait stays closed, so ... [closes eyes tight, taps heels together] ... it won't!"

Senator Johnson objected.
