“Kyle Cheney of Politico reported last month that the Trump admin has lost nearly 10,400 court cases over DHS immigration detentions while prevailing in about 1,200. That translates to a 90% loss rate. More than 425 judges—an overwhelming majority of them—have decided against the admin.”

“It is high time that we all stopped being tools and victims of totalitarian techniques—techniques that, if continued here unchecked, will surely end what we have come to cherish as the American way of life.” Senator Smith was right. Four years later, the Senate condemned McCarthy.

Hakeem Jeffries just left Delaney Hall & immediately said it should be shut down. Human beings, not criminals inside, treated cruelly, for no reason. The Trump regime is running a concentration camp it refuses to let anyone examine, & that refusal is the confession. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

If at this point you’re not assuming Trump is personally getting a cut of everything going through the White House you just haven’t been paying attention.

Misogyny is an increasing factor in far-right attacks, but it often goes unnoticed.

Open-weight AI models with advanced capabilities and no safeguards are becoming much more accessible. While they can be useful, AI safety experts have concerns. n.pr/4dGpZZy

I've started to really grow my Youtube channel with regular live broadcasts, and clips of old shows, films and stand up. I'm even doing some bespoke content. Please subscribe. Anyway, here's one of my favourite Derek clips. youtu.be/MryLC3RF2_c

A Project 2025 architect just said the quiet part out loud: they proposed 1,913 recommendations. 1,055 are already implemented. And the credit? “Donald J. Trump.” This was always the plan. You were always meant to think it wasn’t. #momsky#sheshed

“The parties have used this lawsuit as a means to allow a ‘commission’ controlled by the Pres to dole out $1.776 billion in taxpayer dollars without constitutional or congressional authority to do so…”

ANOTHER ONE: Bret Michaels has joined the growing list of artists backing out of Trump’s Freedom 250 concert, saying the event he was told would be a non-political celebration honoring veterans and first responders had become “much more divisive” than what he agreed to support

“the NYT also reported today that Trump is using $7 million worth of the entrance fees visitors have paid to national parks across the country to pay for the work on the reflecting pool. He is also using nearly $60 million in those national park fees to repair 9 ornamental fountains in the capital.”

Very interesting as we are currently testing out this feature that is made by our electronic health record system. The goal is to ease the burden on our clinicians.

The diverse and beautiful history of America. I’m excited to see and hear more!! If you’re not already following HCR, you need to!!

So the saying is,”The needs of the few or the one Outweighs the Needs of the Many” that’s it, Right?!? No, 5 million people have not been "lifted off" of food stamps, they have been thrown off. Call it what it is; Trump-sanctioned starvation. Pray about that in church.

Shut Delaney Hall down, NOW.   Today, @menendez.house.gov and I went to Delaney Hall because of the inhumane conditions we've been hearing about.   What I saw and heard is absolutely unacceptable.

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.

“Vote by vote, Democrats are breaking through Republicans’ wall of silence on Trump’s illegal war,” Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. “Today proved our pressure is working: Republicans are starting to crack, and momentum is building to check him. We are not letting up.”

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

The most corrupt administration in history sues itself. “In essence then, the ‘settlement’ gives Trump full control over almost $2 billion of taxpayer money to spend however he wants, without oversight.“ The top Treasury lawyer quit too.

NEW: The judge has weighed in on the $1.7 slush fund. I promised an update when she did. Please share widely.

Imagine being a billionaire in an unequal society where the system has been massively rigged in your favor, watching as ordinary people fall further and further behind and get more and more desperate, and thinking a slightly higher tax rate is the worst possible thing that might ever happen to you.

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

Read Trump's "settlement" with the Trump admin to create a nearly $2 billion slush fund that Trump ultimately controls:

oh my holy bananas where do they find these people www.cnn.com/2026/05/15/p...

NEW: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department just resigned. Even though he clerked for Clarence Thomas, perhaps the $1.7B heist was probably too much. Also note the Times (right) and the WSJ (left) refer to it as a settlement. The judge found IT IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. 1/

“The theme of obeying the leader runs deep in Trump’s politics, and in MAGA more generally. The Bible passage Trump read on video today emphasizes obedience, warning the chosen people that if they “forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you,” then they will be destroyed.”

AOC: “..when Black Americans have the right to vote & that vote is protected, our schools get funded. When voting rights are protected, healthcare gets expanded. When voted rights are protected, our country moves forward…That’s what they’re actually afraid of. They’re afraid of us coming together.”

“Wall Street executives told the journalists they were “baffled” by the high volume of trades and concerned about the appearance of conflicts of interest. “All of this raises questions that you’d rather not raise as a president,” “

Using Nazi tactics of blaming the opponents with their misdeeds is the R’s playbook… “Muddying the waters for voters is the best the Trump administration can hope for because, for all the administration’s claims to be fighting fraud, Trump’s corruption is mind-boggling.”

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

“We are watching, in real time, the creation of a one-party state in the American South. We have been here before.”

What has me worried — what we all need to focus on — is that something important in our democracy broke last week, and we are only beginning to see the fallout. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

“The survivors recounted their anger and frustration when they discovered the federal government had made a secret deal with Epstein. One survivor, who identified herself as Roza, detailed how Epstein sexually assaulted her over three years when he was supposed to be serving a jail sentence.”

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection.

“the biggest story of the day was that after voters in Virginia turned out in record numbers to approve a new temporary congressional district map on April 21 to garner four more seats for Democrats, the Virginia state supreme court struck down the referendum. “

“Cohen is right that the Republicans recognize the only way for them to win going forward is to skew the maps so that Democrats can’t win, because right now, at least, the administration is a dumpster fire.”
