BOSTON (AP) - Federal judge halts effort by Trump administration to force states to comply with conditions to get SNAP funding.

California just held an election w/paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight & public vote counting procedures. You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like. Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. We’re not buying it in this state!

Trump campaign donors are receiving disproportionate access, influence, and financial benefits from the government after helping fund his political campaigns.

NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia. The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.

Updated lineup for the fascist fair, probably the last. Martina McBride has put out a statement saying that she was also misled and is not performing. It's in the comments.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue three months from today. #DonaldTrump #UFC

UPDATE: Mike Johnson said he has nothing to do with this dirty tricks operation. Which is interesting because what I reported was that it was linked to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the House Republican Super PAC. The CLF has declined to comment.

i feel like this is probably the best time in recent american history to be a criminal because the justice department doesn’t give a shit, it’s too busy going through the president’s burn book www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

NEW: The $1.8B slush fund is NOT A SETTLEMENT. And now, 35 former judges have filed a motion to REOPEN the Trump/IRS case so the judge can commence an inquiry into whether the court was deceived. I've been sayin!! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MAGA HEADS ARE GOING TO EXPLODE 🤯 🚨 A new Cato study found immigrants reduced US deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994. Not increased. Reduced. Even undocumented immigrants were estimated to have reduced deficits by at least $1.7 trillion.

Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund faces full-court press in the courts Three federal civil lawsuits threaten the Trump treasure chest for convicted criminals youtu.be/uhsmG2zTypY?...

Hmm. A “6 month physical” followed by cancelling a trip to Camp David because of… *checks notes* scattered thunderstorms. Sure, sure.

“Just fantastically, kaleidoscopically corrupt!” @maddow.bsky.social breaks down how Trump buys stock in companies then openly promotes them, even including their stock tickers. The most nakedly corrupt regime of all time.

BREAKING: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn & MPD Officer Hodges are suing to block the $1.8B “weaponization” slush fund.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

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...

Because of course he did. It’s all about intimidation for the next ruling.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

Trump and Hegseth continue to lie to the American people and hide the truth. Thank God for journalism or all we would have is regime lies.

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation? Rep. McGovern: Is anybody surprised? I’ve been saying all along that Trump doesn’t give a shit about the people of this country.

The only thing surprising about this that there are still people who think Donald cares about *anybody* but himself. They haven’t been paying attention.

It really is appalling.

Remember when they told everyone taxpayers wouldn’t pay a penny?

We've got work to do.. #justice

The average price of a gallon of gas hit $4.39 this morning — up 9¢ in just 24 hours, and 47% higher before the Iran war.

Folks in Los Angeles are going to be marching and protesting on May Day. Over a hundred groups have organized an event.

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

Several Australian flags instead of British flags were mistakenly placed near the White House ahead of King Charles visit 15 Australian flags were briefly included among more than 230 flags put on display to welcome the British king They were later replaced with the British flag, the official said.🤦‍♀️

Oh hey, “private donations” are no longer paying for the ballroom. Who could have seen that coming?

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

My conclusions were made seconds after I saw a headline but it's good to know the facts.

Seems they got their marching orders 🫡 👇🏽

Next time, if you want to fool anybody other than your idiot supporters, move the clouds.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

I think I’m right

Today is a good day for democracy 💥 Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Mike Johnson tried to rig midterms… and still took the L. Virginia voters understood the assignment. They saw it for what it was and obliterated it.

Iranian state-linked media, Tasnim News, asserts: "If the US wants to maintain the shadow of war, it should consider the Strait of Hormuz completely closed."

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬 This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

Trump: "THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS AND FULL PASSAGE, BUT THE BLOCKADE WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS IT PERTAINS TO IRAN, ONLY, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE. THIS PROCESS SHOULD GO VERY QUICKLY."

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

The war with Iran delayed Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial. The war with Iran got people to stop talking about Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. So both men had corrupt motives for colluding to start a senseless war. Because they only care about themselves, not the people they kill.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period
