What's going on here? Trump's withholding of federal funds to Colorado to extort Tina Peter's release was effective and worked. A shameful day for Jared Polis. www.denverpost.com/2026/05/15/t...

Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

Earlier this week, Oklahoma passed a bill raising the minimum age to marry to 18 and closing dangerous religious loopholes that enabled abusive and exploitative child marriages. We're proud to be helping lead the fight to end child marriage in all 50 states. Here's our statement.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

Kaine: "The administration is refusing to allow members of this committee to see the OLC opinion stating the legal case for war. We've always that ability. We're being asked to fund a $1.5t budget. What are they hiding?"

I couldn’t love this more. These women are amazing.

Do not stop talking about what these animals did to these children. The President of the United States and his friends belong in prison. #EpsteinFiles #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

It's time to ban members of Congress from lobbying for life. I have a new bipartisan bill to get it done.

Last year, nearly 600,000 Americans paid $100 deposits to get a Trump Mobile phone. Not a single person received one. Where’d their money go? This looks like another Trump scam.

Today, I voted to rein in President Trump’s war in Iran — and 3 Republicans voted with us. We need more of them to stand up and join us to end this reckless war and work together to bring down skyrocketing costs for the American people.

“My childhood home is being taken by @GeorgiaPower to supply power to a new data center…” 🤔 They are now seizing people’s homes in Georgia via eminent domain to build power lines for a $17 billion data center. One has been forced into Utah. And xAI in Memphis. And on and on.

BREAKING: Hill County just proved Texans aren’t powerless. When local people stood up, they hit pause on a 300-acre data center, joining Athens, Killeen, San Marcos, and Wichita Falls in pushing back. If Hill County can fight back, the rest of Texas can too.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

ICE Launches Door-to-Door Sweeps in NJ

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

where is john roberts to tell us that this is just one of those apolitical, unpopular decisions the court has to make sometimes?

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero.

Trump is losing this war, and everyone can see it. The so-called ceasefire with Iran isn’t holding it’s a face-saving measure dressed up as diplomacy. Meanwhile, Congress is sitting on its hands while American forces are engaged in active combat operations abroad.

"The best any economist can do right now is get the order of magnitude right, and my math suggests the Iran war will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and very possibly trillions. "War is hell. And hell comes with a hefty price tag."

There is real rising antisemitism in the US right now, including on the left, as even left-wing Jews will tell you. Meanwhile, this editorial spends most of its time complaining about Democrats voting to block weapon sales to Israel, which is not antisemitism. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/o...

Pedophiles R Us. Trump blocks visas for Costa Rica's leading newspaper because it broke a sexual abuse scandal involving the country's current president, who is a Trump ally, and like Trump, a pedophile.

Update on Brian Morales, the 25-year-old American citizen who was deported to Mexico after a Texas traffic stop last month, is still not home.

🔥 AOC on whether she'll run for Senate or President in 2028: "They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go... But single payer healthcare is forever. A living wage, worker's rights are forever. ✊🏼

Researchers in Hong Kong developed a nasal spray for rapid stroke intervention. The system uses nanotechnology to deliver neuroprotective drugs directly to the brain and reduce neuronal damage during the emergency stage.

Trump wanted a war with Iran because he thought Americans would rally around a war president and it would drive his poll numbers up. It did the opposite. So thousands of lives & billions of dollars were wasted, and the price you pay for gas is significantly higher, because Donald Trump is an idiot.

America is not “a nation that calls to God in prayer.” It’s a nation where people are free to pray, worship, or reject religion entirely without government telling them which choice is “American.”

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Alito flew multiple flags tied to Jan 6 insurrectionists. Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot. And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves. Please.
