I cannot believe that we have gone so long without base level journalism that this feels somehow radical, and the guy being interviewed literally cannot conceive of being asked basic questions

BREAKING: In a major blow to the Trump administration, a federal judge on Friday blocked the renaming of the Kennedy Center in lawsuit brought by Rep. Joyce Beatty. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

T. Elliot Gaiser, the head of OLC, is quickly building up a track record to qualify as one of the true villains of this era. Today, Acting AG Todd Blanche is using OLC to team up with the FCC's Brendan Carr to make it harder for some immigrants to have phones and internet access.

A sentence that manages to get more absurd with every word

I was so annoyed during a congressional hearing the other day when a Republican witness was like oh if you don't like the Court's interpretation of the Voting Rights Act, you can amend it Motherfucker we did! And the Constitution! And yet!

See, it's funny, because they're framing their incredibly evil policies as actually just being really creepy and weird.

if one removed people who obsessively talk about teenagers' genitalia in public, a huge swathe of the conservative movement would simply vanish

I see people upset about this but this is nothing short of an obliteration of this freak by Tom Llamas.

Honestly, this is good because it removes any plausible deniability about the type of people Trump put in charge of his domestic paramilitary operations

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

one might ask why a free speech org is scrutinizing the small dollar political donations of private citizens

Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

I'm neither a transportation expert nor a reality TV star. But I am the resident of a red state whose capital city airport regularly experiences 2+-hour traffic jams and has had to ground flights due to insufficient ATC staffing. Please spare us your "boon."

Trump bought stock in the UFC’s parent company while promoting fights set to take place at the White House on his birthday, HuffPost has learned

UPDATE: MC Pee Pants has also withdrawn from the Freedom 250 Celebration

This from @gregsargent.bsky.social today relates directly to the male supremacist stuff I talk about in my piece. The abuse of Talarico for being open-hearted and compassionate gives away the game. The MAGA view is that masculinity *requires* cruelty newrepublic.com/article/2111...

Remember when Republicans were furious about Obama unfreezing $1.7 billion of Iranian funds? Remember all the times you’ve read enraged posts about “pallets of cash”? Good times.

CONFIRMED: The Wonka Scotland Oompa Loompa girl has formerly withdrawn from President Trump's America 250 concert.

New at The Watch: Here's the latest in my "You Can't Hide Your Lying ICE" series on DHS lies about abuses by its immigration officers.

Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of @minakimes.bsky.social

SCOOP --> I talked to Paulina Mangubat, who was doxed by Stephen Miller's wife over the "ugly f--k" tweet. She stands by the tweet 100 percent. “What he’s doing is ugly—siccing federal agents on civilians, applauding when families are separated," she tells me: newrepublic.com/article/2111...

Wow, I wonder why the faculty at top universities -- which are currently under siege by Republicans at both the state and national level, with savage assaults on federal funding, course content, academic freedom, and student expression -- would be shifting their donations *away* from that party?

and let the congregation say “shut up you ugly fuck”

All this tough talk and he's hiding on a military base. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think they might actually be stupid enough to try this.

Yes, this is a terrific point. Congress should definitely spend its time discussing the deeply unpopular president's latest vanity project and Republicans should definitely make sure that they get their vote on the record before facing voters in the midterms. Capital idea, sport.

It seems like the fundamental problem is people hate us more than they love America or God.

the clear takeaway here is that the administration wants to unlawfully seize the smithsonian and make it a temple for white supremacist “history” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/a...

As if I didn't already love Hacks enough, it not only sticks the landing, but does so with the single most homosexual music cue in the history of television. I miss it already.

I spoke with two of the creators about that perfect finale for Hacks, a perfect show. slate.com/culture/2026...

Peter Thiel is heading to his spiritual homeland of Argentina, following in the historical footsteps of thousands of other deeply problematic men with the exact same haircut.

uhhh....what the fuck

I just can’t anymore. Needless wars, people starving, jobs disappearing, and these STUPID FUCKS are full on speedrunning Court of the Sun King into the French Revolution.

Legalized anywhere/anytime/anything gambling isn’t just ruinous for sports, but will prove ruinous for society.

Holy crap, the Hacks finale was perfect. I laughed and cried through the whole thing. More Emmys for Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, please.

Called this back in October

Extremely funny to issue an indignant denial of a story that's been reported by at least three different outlets when you are also maybe the single least credible lawyer in the entire country right now

How long until people are living in makeshift “Trumpvilles”?

With the new q1 GDP growth number coming in today at 1.6% what the data tells us that Trump has seen the lowest GDP growth on his watch of any American President since Hoover. 1/

a VRA map that recognizes discrete and compact communities and creates districts accordingly? illegal race discrimination. packing every black person they can find i to a single district crossing the whole state? colorblindness and equal protection thank you sam alito

Republicans say this stuff all the time. Robin Vos says things like this in WI. But now it's not just "Democrats' votes shouldn't count." It's also "Democrats shouldn't even get to vote." And yet, somehow, our entire National Conversation™️ is always about how Democrats don't reach out to Real Folkz.

"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another" U.S. Const. Art 1, s. 9, cl. 6

Sure, sure, if the Trump administration closes down those blue-state airports, people will just drive several hours into a red state to take their international flights and, when they do, they're going to be so mad at ... uh, blue-state Democrats?

Even Milli Vanilli had too much integrity for this

Well, multiple surveys show consumer confidence at an all-time low, so maybe it’s that doomer view thing.

Katie Miller is beefing with my fiancée on twitter and it has backfired badly for Miller because — and this might not be popular to say on here, but — my fiancée is way hotter

Challenge accepted.

Chris Cuomo destroys Tom Homan: "I'm not saying this because it's my opinion. I'm saying because all the data is suggestive of this. Your own data, you have the most deaths in '25 and now you're on track to beat it. Is that just a coincidence?"
