Behold, the guy with the codes to one of the most powerful nuclear arsenals on the planet.

There's a lady in this waiting room wearing a shirt that says: "I don't have the energy to pretend I like you today" And I feel that so often these days.

Pathetic. Trump is privately demanding his advisers find a way to reach a deal with Iran that TV commentators will compare favorably to Obama's 2015 deal, per the Atlantic. On the pod, @emilyhorne.bsky.social is good on how this perfectly captures why we're stuck: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

I will likely never go to DC again as a tourist. I think I would prefer to see the replica of the oval office here: apnews.com/article/muse...

If we take the house in NOV Trumps presidency will be stopped. IF we take both house and senate TRUMPS PRESIDENCY ENDS. VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose. The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥 It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

Now this is a concert. 🎵

CBS is advertising hard. They are really trying people to watch Face the Nation. I am definitely not going to be watching that or anything else on that station. Every time a story pops up, they want me to read it on CBS. I keep scrolling until I find a better news source

I saw a post about the conditions at Delaney detention center and detainees needing medical care. One of the trolls in the comments said to "let some of 'your' bleeding heart doctors" in there. Shouldn't we all hope to have a doctor who has a "bleeding heart"?

It’s amazing. Chip Roy and John Cornyn both trump boot lickers, still thrown to the wolves. You either have to be 100 percent committed to the cult, or you’re out. If you want to walk a line, you’ll get crushed. But telling the truth and doing right will free your soul

Sen. John Cornyn is leaving the Senate after losing the GOP primary runoff to impeached Texas AG who cheated on his wife.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

I’ve done some stupid shit in my life. But at least I can say that I never voted for Trump.

Senator Andy Kim was tear gassed by ICE goons today. My quick research says: In New Jersey, tear gassing a U.S. Senator (or any state legislator) would almost certainly be charged as Aggravated Assault, likely elevating to a Second-Degree Crime due to the victim's status as a public official.

China has developed a battery that is based on sea salt. Not lithium. It is now being used in Chinese vehicles. It’s more efficient, can hold 90% of its charge at -40c, provides a range of 500 kms, cheap to manufacture, and better for the environment. The US is being left in the dust.

Clearly too busy to attend his son's wedding event ...

NEW: You've asked for the text of my $8.647 million dollar claim to Todd Blanche pursuant to the $1.7B slush fund so you can write your own. Here it is: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ive-fi...

We reinstated Disney Plus. At least they are fighting back now.

Let's not all laugh at the same time. 🙄

If you were attacked by ICE you may be entitled to compensation from the presidents new slush fund. Please apply. 💙✊🏼⚖️

Says it all

Esq. Marc Elias and his 60 member team are doing an important labor in defense of Constitutional Rights and legality. As you can see here. Everyone who can pitch in should get a cheaply paid subscription, but he offers a free account too. Please, Tyranny must be defeated, get involved.

I miss having a real President who wants the best for everyone in the country no matter which political party they belong to.

I'm resubscribing to Disney Plus after an 8 month hiatus.

Trump just put him in charge of the FDA. He has no medical background at all. But he does turkey hunt with Don Junior so ok. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I had to LOOK for the winners in the Democratic primary in Louisiana because people, even here, are only talking about the Republicans. We need to do better at promoting our own candidates. www.king5.com/article/synd...

I'm still with her. #voices4victory #usDemocracy #dv1

Someone shared this thread about Oxymandias with me earlier. It seems appropriate for the times. www.reddit.com/r/pics/comme...

When/where is Sean Duffy's road trip reality tv show going to air, so I can not watch it like I never watched the Kardashians?

"a historic UFC event, UFC Freedom 250, is scheduled to be held on the South Lawn of the White House to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. While initially rumored for July 4th, the fight was officially rescheduled for June 14, 2026, to align with Flag Day and President Trump's 80th birthday."

The charge on our bill that my husband consistently says is worth it is to the Democracy Docket. Do what you can to help Mark's team.

Good morning, Is the war on or off? Is the strait open or closed? Are oil prices up or down? Happy Friday Market Manipulation Day.

Slowly trying to follow back every one.

Reposting or those who are able to and want to help: u24.gov.ua

Ford CEO Jim Farley: We should not let Chinese EVs into the US. Jim himself drove a Chinese Xiaomi Su7 and has been to China 6-7 times a year. He said, "It's the most humbling thing I've ever seen. They have far superior in-vehicle tech." Can't win, so they ban.

Cognitive test, anyone? 😬

Seems like a no brainer www.wcia.com/news/capitol...

Yes

I don't see it on Truth Social. When did he post it? The date is cropped out

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

**It's May Day** I forgot that we aren't supposed to be buying anything today. Fortunately I haven't bought anything, which these days I mostly only buy what I NEED.

Dear Disney, If you stand up for Kimmel, we will reinstate Disney Plus, which we cancelled after your last cancellation of Kimmel. (It'll be a twofer. We cancelled Prime but still have ad supported Amazon programming and we will dump that)

Please support Democracy Docket if you are able!
