NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

My main opinion on what other people eat is: I think everyone should have enough to eat. Beyond that, "have fun out there"

Reading one of the most important books I will read this year. Got it yesterday will finish it today. I want to encourage all to read it to better understand how we can deal with political liars. Andrew has answers!

like the uvalde cops, but the total opposite

I had the honor of sitting down with Opal Lee — the Texas legend who walked from Fort Worth to DC to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. At 99 years old, she told me: "I’m gonna keep on walking to show some youngsters how it’s done.” Thank you, Opal. We're walking with you. 💙

1/ A quiet shift is happening in how propaganda scales. It is moving from random posts to repeatable pipelines that train people, fund distribution, and launder credibility. Not every story is “connected” but the pattern is worth tracking. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Right wing Christianity proves every day that hypocritical perverts make the very *best* scolds.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

NEW: Trump demanded the replacement of the Senate parliamentarian, who can determine whether certain bills can bypass filibuster thresholds, claiming she obstructed the passage of the SAVE America Act. Doing so would pave the way for the anti-voting measure to pass more easily through Congress.

Whitehouse: "If you look at all the Court's elections decisions, every one has the effect of helping the GOP. If you look at all their regulatory decisions, every one has the effect of helping the fossil fuel industry that funds the GOP. You can predict with perfect certainty what happens."

It is my honest opinion that no president in our history has done more to weaken the United States domestically and internationally than Trump. He has cracked American confidence. And he can’t face it.

Benjamin Netanyahu is the worst US President since Elon Musk.

No, shitheel. We should be asking you and your kind.

A man who took the refusal to suffer fools to high art.

If your byline sits atop a think-piece this morning about how Donald Trump is still a powerful political monolith because he can get GOP voters in deep red districts to heed his endorsement in primary contests, you need to go find an actual journalist and let him use you to wipe his ass clean.

Blanche never had an intention to carry out that promise

EXCELLENT news this morning: Officers Dunn and Hodges sue to dissolve the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that will most certainly be used to fund further insurrectionist activity www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Trump isn’t the problem. He is the result of the problem: the racism, ignorance, and selfishness of many people in the United States.

Students booed AI hucksters at University of Arizona, University of Central Florida and now Middle Tennessee State University too. For all the media obsession over Fair Harvard, these schools are much more typical of the college experience, so maybe we could get a Big NYT Thinkpiece on this?

WHO: The deadly Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda does not represent a global pandemic emergency, although the risk is high at a regional and national level.

Local woman wakes up, sets all future Google searches to yield a single poop emoji as the result so everyone ends up finding a new search engine and Google either excludes AI results or goes bankrupt, makes oatmeal.

Fascinating how the Trump Administration always gets its inspiration from the Nazis...

Take a breath. Now read it slowly. Move your lips as you read if it helps: 1) A Republican legislator broke with his party to demand information be made public about which rich and powerful men fucked children. 2) Republican allies spent $30 million to make him stop it. 3) Voters stopped him.

“We are so far behind in this outbreak,” a current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) employee tells @wired.com. “This is a perfect storm.” new from me and @knibbs.bsky.social on how aid cuts from last year are already fueling the sudden ebola outbreak:

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Yep. U.S. public health is a punchline, just in time for the emergence of one of the most deadly pathogens to ever exist.

For all the tax breaks, Big Tech laid off 150,000 workers in 2026, so far.

Sorry, but every time I see or hear about Todd Blanche, I think of Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? "But you are Blanche..."

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

"Under God, indivisible," was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1953 during the height of the Cold War. Acknowledging a deity in the face of atheistic communists was a product of that Cold War and nothing else. "In God We Trust" wasn't mandated on our currency until 1955, for the same reasons.

I've worked for three presidents, including one Republican. No previous administration was this awash in corruption and conflicts of interest.

You nailed it, Javier 🔥

Brilliant job today by Sen. Van Hollen. Blanche can't handle the truth. He doesn't act like an Attorney General. He was Trump's criminal defense lawyer, now he's Trump's personal retribution prosecutor and grift dispenser. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

In case you need any more motivation to hold the most corrupt "president" in U.S. history accountable. #Register&VOTE 🌊

This was widely reported. Blanche's response that it couldn't have happened because the fund didn't yet exist is bullshit. I had sources telling me more than a year ago that MAGA attorneys had been telling their Jan. 6 clients that Trump was planning to pay them "reparations."

"Republicans blocked a law to keep your taxpayer money from going to convicted pedophiles"
