BREAKING AP: When Kash Patel visited Hawaii last summer, the FBI took pains to note he was not on vacation. Left out of FBI's news releases was an exclusive excursion that Patel took days later when he participated in what government officials described as a "VIP snorkel" around the USS Arizona.

He’s a paranoid drunk, per the reporting. He should go back to podcasting like Bongino did.

What a crooked shithole this country has become. Utterly corrupt.

Very inappropriate. North Carolina district 5 is solid Red. Everyone needs to vote in November (it's our American duty). Vote this senile lady the F-out!!! #NorthCaroline #NC05 👇👇

Disgusting moment when China forced school children to hop “gleefully” in front of Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend.

NEW: U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson's "reign of terror" in Mississippi "is over," Gov. Tate Reeves says, urging the ousting of the state's only Black member of Congress through redistricting before the end of 2027. He made that pronouncement even as he canceled a special session on redistricting.

Trans people are being forced to flee red states and for the most part, the press has ignored this story.

As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help

MS Now reported that the FBI and in particular, Kash Patel, has been padding the stats. Patel's FBI imposed new policies inflating numbers on many issues. Numbers Overstating the bureaus progress on issues like crime. Patel claims crime has gone down, it hasn't. Over half a dozen agents knew.

Musk is accompanying Trump to China.

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

Gov. McMaster just bending a knee to Trump to gerrymander SC & overriding his state legislature? The message is clear, Remove Clyburn no Black representation allowed in the south! Rep Donalds, Hunt, James, Owens, & Sen Scott, How ya’ll feel about Trump now?

BREAKING: For the SEVENTH time, the Senate voted to end Trump's war of choice with Iran—and for the SEVENTH time, Senate Republicans blocked it. End the war NOW.

"There's Elon in the back there. You can see Eric Trump. There's Jensen Huang."

“The Reflecting Pools in Washington, D.C. were designed for one purpose: reflection. They are supposed to mirror the beauty, dignity, and symbolism of the monuments around them. They were never intended to look like a chlorinated Olympic swimming pool where you can count pennies on the bottom.”

So in case anybody’s counting, today Donald Trump called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.” He is going to continue to do this. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody fucking stops him.

“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.

Rep. Patty Murray: "We need serious leadership at the FBI that the American people can trust…If you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles in a locker room, stick to podcasting. Leave law and order to people who really do care about justice."

So paying poor people to have healthcare and poor children to have food at school is fraud and abuse, but paying Donald Trump to paint a perfectly fine reflecting pool for $13 million and build a tacky $1 billion ballroom isn't fraud and abuse? What messed-up priorities this country has!

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Unconstitutional

For generations, residents in rural Lowndes County, Ala. have lived with raw sewage flowing through their yards, homes and neighborhoods. Now, advocates say a federal agreement meant to address the public health crisis has been dismantled under the Trump (cont.) www.theroot.com/the-alabama-...

Tennessee you’re up. Get the vote out, please

Interior Department cancels a Biden-era rule that prioritizes conservation on federal lands. The move eases restrictions on drilling, mining and grazing across 10% of US territory. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says the previous rule exceeds the Bureau of Land Management's authority.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

It's not just that the FBI director is acting like a spoiled child; he keeps repeating the dumb lie that Van Hollen was "drinking margaritas with a felon" when he visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As a reminder, it was a stunt from the El Salvador regime, who put sugar-rimmed glasses on the table.

“This is Jim Crow 2.0”… Rep Sydney Kamlager Dove (D-CA) on Southern states racing to redraw Congressional lines

A ten-year-old student wrote a letter to Virginia Foxx (Q-NC), who had previously vowed to retire in 1932. She wrote back to him, attacking both him and his teacher.

Inflation is rising, the highest in three years, and Trump and the GOP made it happen. Fuel Oil: +54.3% Gasoline: +28.4% Electricity: +6.1% Transportation: +4.3% Apparel: +4.2% They don’t care about you, they’re the rich looking after the rich.

'Disgusted' ex-FBI acting director says he was asked by chief if he voted for Trump www.alternet.org/trump-fbi-fi...

Thank you MAGA DUMB F*CKS!!

Trump’s vanity project to repaint the Reflecting Pool is a complete joke. Unsurprisingly, the cost ballooned from $1.5-$2M to $6.9M to $13M and it's been well over 2 weeks with no end in sight. Zero chance it’s done by May 22. Over budget and behind schedule...that’s the art of the deal, baby!

ICYMI Our Country's Reflecting Pool belongs to the American People Not Trump's Mar-a-Lardo swimming pool In 2012 the Reflecting Pool was completely rebuilt with sustainable water conservation features It had a tinted bottom. It was designed for a more "mirror calm" reflection of our monuments

"President Trump said he chose that company to repair the landmark because the firm had worked on the swimming pools at his golf club..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Fetterman just finds the issue that Dems are most upset about each day, takes the opposite side, then goes on Fox to call it TDS. On the rare occasions he can put two sentences together coherently. Rise, repeat. It’s boring. Tired. Classless. Useless. Like Fetterman.
