BREAKING NEWS: Trump tells the truth.

Xi Jinping jails dissidents, crushes free speech and abuses human rights. Our own government says he’s committing genocide against Uyghurs. Yet Trump praises him—attacking American judges, journalists and educators with more venom than he ever uses to attack foreign dictators.

“I vote with Republicans 91 percent of the time. And the 9 percent I don’t, they’re taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country.” @smencimer.bsky.social reports on Rep. Thomas Massie and one of the most expensive, high-stakes primaries in the country.

1. there is no war 2. but if there is a war, it costs $29 billion.

Trump says Republicans will deploy a larger nationwide “Election Integrity Army” for the 2026 midterms.

I used to be a WaPo Opinions video editor, and if a video didn't have 100 views within the first five minutes of publishing on Youtube, I would've considered it an embarrassing failure. Fortunately didn't happen much!

Could you get any more vile?

Pro-European, center-right Péter Magyar has been sworn in as Hungary's prime minister. The EU flag was raised on the parliament building in Budapest for the first time since Viktor Orbán's authoritarian government removed it in 2014.

Before being seduced by the wealth and power. Before selling out any honor , values or oath. Who seduces people into selling their souls ?

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

To slightly adapt Orwell: The Supreme Court told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was its final, most essential command.

Benched. 🗳️🤦‍♂️

Turns out the House candidate endorsed by @hoyer.house.gov in MD-5 is a lobbyist for Ellison-owned Oracle, and didn’t initially disclose his six figure bonuses for that work. Vote for @libradunn1.bsky.social on June 23rd. wamu.org/story/26/05/...

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, just reported its 2026 Q1 results. It lost $405 MILLION on $900,000 in revenue.

“In my lifetime I have witnessed a terrible decline. In yours, you could and should witness a wonderful recovery.” What an immense privilege it has been to be alive at the same time as this incredible human being—David Attenborough. #Happy100thBirthday🥳 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin.

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.

😕🇺🇸 Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Our government is lying to us.

Mehdi Hasan on Israel

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

Real question. Does the Virginia Supreme Court have any kind of “Marbury vs. Madison” type decision under which it granted itself judicial review including the authority to strike down state referenda? Because I’m not seeing why this decision invalidating the new voting maps has to be followed.

Michigan Democratic party chair on Trump Admin. releasing UFO files “If any aliens had flown over Epstein Island, you could be damn sure Trump would keep their secret. Whether aliens are out there or not, I’m more concerned about the American people here on Earth struggling to pay for food, rent"

Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.

They'll release the UFO files, but not the Epstein files, which tells you all you need to know about the distraction strategy the Trump administration is relying on. Don't look away!

Ansari: Lutnick was also asked about the fact that he had said he believed Epstein would blackmail people. He said that he no longer believes that. And then, when pressed on why that is, he said it’s because he spoke with administration officials.

AFT is asking the SEC to scrutinize Elon's bullshit to avoid members being forced to buy SpaceX via Index funds.

This year is shaping up to be the most expensive midterm election ever, and many billionaires have already given tens of millions of dollars each.

whoa

Hegseth in March: “Never before has a modern, capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective.” They lied through their teeth. Just straight up fabricated shit.

“My generation failed. We've allowed it to happen,” naturalist Sir David Attenborough told Anderson Cooper in 2020. cbsn.ws/3RtpIAf

“The time has come to put aside national ambitions and look for an international ambition of survival,” Sir David Attenborough told 60 Minutes in 2020. He turns 100 today. Attenborough warns that if world leaders don’t change, “It’s going to sink us in the end." cbsn.ws/4f9Hhz6

So the Trump administration has plenty of munitions for the Gulf but not for Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/u...

"This is not just the most corrupt presidency in American history, it is among the most corrupt regimes on earth." And abject corruption on a mass scale, it turns out, is not politically popular. New from @monacharen.bsky.social:

Mockler on Iran: We are watching the same people who defended these first two failed wars go on television and defend another failed war. I don't trust the same people who got us into the prior wars, amassed trillions of dollars in debt, and are not putting America first on the global stage.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump told her that people at Mar-a-Lago would be hurt by the release of the Epstein files. Greene: Trump said his friends would get hurt if we release the Epstein files. He said, “Marjorie, these are good people. These are people you know at Mar-a-Lago”

Even Republicans don't support Trump's Big, Ugly, Bloated War budget. $1.5 TRILLION for war while he cuts investments here at home? Absolutely not. I'm tearing up his budget to write a new one that actually invests in America and our families.

She knew, we knew and now everyone is paying the price for the lies and incompetence of this corrupt regime….

BREAKING: We filed another emergency lawsuit — this time in federal court — against Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. Louisiana is disenfranchising voters who have already cast ballots, all in the service of stifling Black voting power.

KELLOGG: Ukrainians fought brilliantly, lost only 1% of land since 2014. You’ve got to give them full credit for what they’ve done. Russians not winning this war, they’re losing. Putin faces huge economic problems, suffered 1.2 to 1.4 million casualties, not going to get Donbas.

I’m totally disappointed in the Iranian hackers for not digging up the hidden files of the Epstein files 😬.

Hegseth made a false claim in his testimony to the House on Wed. Then he repeated it in his testimony to the Senate on Thurs. The claim: “In 2024, troops were depl… – that was Joe Biden by the way, Joe Biden – were deployed to polling locations in 15 states." Fact check: baseless and false

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

Congrats to #Florida reporter @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, whose work blowing the lid off the Epstein scandal just won a special citation from this year's Pulitzer judges. www.pulitzer.org/winners/juli...
