Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.

What a Royal GFY to CBS deadline.com/2026/05/late...

This is shocking and deeply irresponsible. Cutting all full-time CDC cruise ship inspectors in the middle of outbreak responses is a blatant disregard for public health. People’s safety should never be compromised like this.

The public moved mountains to force transparency once already. It can happen again. Make the complete release of the Epstein files trend until they can no longer bury it.

Of course.

White House invites Musk, Cook for Trump China trip, Bloomberg reports reut.rs/4u8nrZY

When the President insults female reporters for doing their jobs and the room stays silent, that silence becomes part of the story too. Professional standards mean nothing if nobody is willing to defend them when it matters.

Amen To This,John Pavlovitz......

I've been privately saying this for fucking ages. Munya Chawawa absolutely hits the nail on the head here. youtu.be/bM5xpWKCOdg?...

I watch Trump’s fasciste regime flail around, accusing Biden over and over again of their own fiascos. It’s all whining and victim posturing. They live in their own delusion, unable to take responsibility for anything. A pathetic spectacle spinning in circles, day after day. #ProudBlue #DV1

I think there's a lot of truth in this meme.

The transportation secretary, a former “Real World” star, is facing criticism for filming the program while gas prices remain high.

Why Did Howard Lutnick Suddenly Changes Entire Story About His Epstein Ties. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump #EpsteinFiles #POTUS newrepublic.com/post/210034/...

Is this really what the American people want. I think not. Please keep resisting.

If only Patel would require polygraph testing for the Epstein class rather than FBI agents. Polygraph Ghislaine Maxwell, Howard Lutnick, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Melania Trump, Peter Thiel and others; then release the findings to the public ...

The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

Never Forget as We Americans and other nationalities die.

It’s infuriating that Republicans keep rural communities poor and misinformed, and then once the GOP gets their votes, THEY HURT THEM. How many people will die bc rural hospitals close or they have to wait so long to see a doctor?? All because of cuts to immigration agencies and racist policies😡.

I have been a patient of a medical practice for 35+ years. I received a letter stating my PCP is leaving and none of the remaining 9 doctors can take me as a patient. So now that I’m 70 and suffer from several chronic illnesses, I’m expendable despite having insurance. Jeez … What a country!

There is a remedy for this. Call your senators and write letters on behalf of your physician friends who have waited and waited for their visa status to change. Oddly enough- Tillis’ office was very helpful.

Rural America is being destroyed and they’re too distracted by bigotry to see it

They tell us “there’s no money” for universal coverage, cheaper drugs, or rural hospitals. Then Trump and Hegseth find $200B for war with Iran. This isn’t about resources. It’s about priorities. #HealthcareNotWarfare

“The law does include a special fund to boost rural healthcare, totaling $50 billion over five years. But that’s far less than the $137 billion it is expected to cut from rural health spending over the next decade.”

Great guests on “The Weeknight” tonight. Should be another good show tonight.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.
