the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

If you stand behind Trump next to Mehmet Oz and RFK Jr for a photo op, you are choosing to write the narrative that you are part of this group. That's a hell of a choice, @mcuban.bsky.social 😳

It’s too perfect that Trump’s slush fund is exactly $1.776B. Stop rounding it to $1.8B (or incorrectly to $1.7B). Let people see that it’s exactly $1.776B, so they know that it’s complete faux-patriotic bullshit. #maddow

I’m just so angry these days at what we could be doing to help billions of people, and instead our resources are being used to help individuals become billionaires

honoring the nation's founding by stealing from the people who live here...touching, actually

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

And there it is, folks. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Trump doesn't care about the economic plight of the average American because he's too busy calling his broker His stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months in firms like Palantir, Nvidia and Boeing should be another Watergate. Here's how to make it one My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

JFC. During an oil crisis, when EVs are a lifeline, Congress is about to *put a tax on EVs*. Spectacularly stupid.

The rights of men do not change. The rights of women do.

TGIF.

Why do people hate Democratic Socialism when it so clearly works? You just tax a few obnoxious, power-mad billionaires (Musk, O’Leary, etc.) and make life better for millions. CAN I GET A FREAKING AMEN? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

For years ... centuries maybe, the Epstein class has told us this is dangerous and bad and will invariably lead to a communist dictatorship.

NEW: A passenger returning to the U.S. from that Dutch cruise ship where the hantavirus outbreak occurred has tested positive for the virus, according to HHS. A second is showing mild symptoms.

It is admittedly ridiculous, but it's also a national tragedy that is costing us in lives, treasure, and international credibility. All this to stop a nuke that didn't exist and open a strait that wasn't closed. #ResistTrump

I need white people in hella white states to think about what they are saying when they insist redistricting blue states will solve the problem that Black people in Memphis just got disenfranchised. Redistricting Colorado is not gonna solve the problem. There's like 16 Black people in Colorado.

Put another way, gutting the Voting Rights Act was to gut Black representation in the government. Proposed solutions that don’t center that representation aren’t really getting at the problem at hand.

ICYMI: The FBI raided the office of Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas — one of the most visible faces of Democratic lawmakers’ redistricting push. The timing of the raids instantly alarmed many pro-democracy advocates.

On @cnbc.com moments ago:

still thinking about that Goldman Sachs “analysis” that predicted we would be at 120% of normal traffic in the strait of Hormuz by now

Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it has begun striking alleged Hezbollah infrastructure sites in several areas of Lebanon, Reuters reports. War in the Middle East is not ending.

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

IRAN'S FARS NEWS AGENCY REPORTS THAT TWO MISSILES STRUCK A U.S. WARSHIP NEAR JASK ISLAND AFTER IT DISREGARDED WARNINGS FROM IRAN. THE AGENCY ALSO STATES THAT THE U.S. WARSHIP RETREATED FROM THE LOCATION.

#OOTT ⛽️

Seems to be paralyzing NATO without leaving it to keep the veto power to fully paralyze its responsiveness.

Trump told press that US is cutting “a lot further than 5,000 troops” in Germany.

We have a wild hedgehog who lives in our garden and is friends with our cat (this isn’t their first meeting, they know each other well)

Jim Crow 2.0 ... or are we up to Jim Crow 3.0 now? Anyway, none of that woke stuff where black people have the same rights as proper Americans. They have ways to make sure that never happens.

🗺️THE LATEST 🔺LA: Halted primaries to redistrict. 🔺AL: Scheduled special session to redistrict. 🔺TN: Moving toward mid-cycle gerrymander. 🔺SC: Faces GOP calls for a special session to redistrict. 🔺GA: Won't redistrict in 2026, but 2028 is on the table. 🔺FL: DeSantis to sign new GOP gerrymander soon.

A 40+ year affordable airline that employs 17,000 people, bankrupt by Trump’s war of choice because they can’t afford the fuel to fly.

Amazing, honest thread:

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In the past we had “Jim Crow“ laws. The next phase should be called “John Roberts” laws

Full accountability for the corrupt Roberts court will take time, but this is one consequence we can implement today. Make the name John Roberts synonymous with institutionalized racism: Roberts redistricting, John Roberts laws, Roberts Representatives.

🚨BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for more than fifty years. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When the Trump regime is talking about canceling a TV show and building a ballroom and a giant arch, it's not talking about lowering gas and food prices and making sure Americans can see a doctor.

(NYT) - Gasoline prices in the United States rose on Tuesday to their highest level in four years as peace talks between the United States and Iran appeared at an impasse. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/b...

And to be clear, this is not just Trump. For over 40 years, Republicans have been stealing our money and running up the national debt. Then as soon as they’re out of power, they blame Democrats for the economy they wrecked while they campaign on fixing our national debt.

You are being robbed, America.

WASTE - demolishing the East Wing when there was nothing wrong with it. FRAUD - lying to tax payers that private donors would pay for his new ballroom. ABUSE - staging an event so that his maga twats could demand the public pay for his ballroom instead.

Yikes! Fox 5 caught on hot mic talking about the security at the Correspondents Dinner. "They have like two random chicks holding the front door open. Like guys, they're not even trying anymore...they're not even secret service people. It's like the girls who work here are holding the door."

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

As war-related inflation continues to surge, consumer confidence has hit a record all-time low. But corporate America is doing better than ever. This is what a two-tiered economy looks like.

lol

📌In 1911, the House was capped at 435 seats. Today there are three times as many people and the House is still capped at 435. Expand the Supreme Court? Of course. Expand the House? Yesterday, please.

This is not a dilemma. The legacy media needs to spare us the bullshit, grow a backbone and get some self-respect. Don't go to a dinner with Donald Trump! Support pro-democracy media that will stand tall and not break bread with a wanna be dictator. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

⚠️ No wonder Iran is acting like it’s in a strong position: • About half of Iran's stockpile of ballistic missiles and launch systems are still intact. • Roughly 60% of the naval arm of the IRGC is still in existence. • About two-thirds of Iran's air force is believed to be still operational.
