Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30B/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $29B and counting It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

"This is not leadership. Our service members deserve far better" -- Rep. Crow demolishes Adm Cooper for repeatedly refusing to acknowledge that the law of war manual prohibits declarations of no quarter like the one Hegseth made

I HATE JD VANCE WITH THE POWER OF 10,000 SUNS 🤬🤬🤬

Sen. Kennedy: In America, if you are too poor to be sick, we will pay for you, correct? Blanche: Correct. [WITAF delusional world are these two living in?!]

Imagine screaming “stay out of politics” at the Pope, literally the head of a global faith, while you stage Christian nationalist rallies, televise Bible readings like state propaganda, and hold government worship services to “rededicate” the country. ‘Stay out of religion,’ you hypocrites!

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche refused today to bar people convicted of assaulting police officers from receiving payments from the Justice Department’s newly created $1.776 billion slush-fund, which is intended to

Thom Hartmann: “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.”…

Wow! Jasmine Crockett just endorsed Xavier Becerra for governor, and I was here to see it. Amazing morning. [Dulan’s Restaurant]

We still have not gotten the full story about Trump’s ballroom but his comments today about drones and missiles and snipers indicates there are much worse things going on there than a mere vanity project

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Air power alone doesn’t win wars. Symbolic strikes don’t create strategy. And if you engage in war, you either commit to an achievable outcome or you shouldn’t start it in the first place. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I’m so furious about how stupid everything is

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

Here’s the payoff. How is this okay? We’re now paying off people who stormed the Capitol. The DOJ is creating a nearly $1.8B fund for Trump supporters after Trump sued the IRS, a case headed for dismissal, then settled with his own administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Chris is spot the hell on

Thank you to Jerome Po for keeping your steady hand on the economy for so many years. www.cnn.com/2026/05/15/e...

He’s projecting again. HE is the treasonous one

the first layer of butter on toast or bagel is just the primer. you gotta let that melt into the foundation before applying the real layer of butter.

REP. @votegloriaj.bsky.social: “I was like this can’t be real, but it is. I went to the website… House Republicans are just big ol’ racists and don’t care who knows it.” Gloria confirms what we said — White male Dems (except Powell) still have committees, Black & Female Dems were removed.

Goodnight Bluesky

There’s nothing else to say, because what Chuck added to this conversation was already perfect. www.sbnation.com/nba/1114556/...

THE HATER AND THIEF.......

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just allowed the abortion pill mifepristone to continue to be available by mail without an in-person appointment with a clinician while a lawsuit plays out.

This is exactly the kind of cult member that should never be anywhere near government...

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

And AMEN

“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”

Vance is a RACIST, FASCIST PIG 🐷

Oh f*ck off. We would all be a hell of a lot better if we spoke multiple languages. Still pisses me off that my immigrant Italian family was ashamed of speaking Italian outside of the home.

This is pretty amazing.

Donald Trump has dragged America into three wars: A war on innovation. A war on affordability. A war on Iran. California will fight on every front to protect the most vulnerable Californians from Trump's cruel assault.

The President is telling the IRS to give him $10 billion rn

"You gotta be willing to look at all fraud." Meanwhile: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/n...

While Vance is making a speech about fraud…

It's so hilariously unaware that the administration "for the working class" can't be bothered with the cost of groceries and gas because it is *obsessed* with gilded ballrooms, whomped up reflecting pools, gaudy arches, and fancy golf courses. What idiots!

Trump's ever-expanding list of taxpayer grifts: -$10B in damages from the IRS -$1B for ballroom "security" -$1B for Qatar jet refurbishments -$230M in DOJ "compensation" -$100M+ for golf outings When he says he "doesn't think about Americans' financial situation," I believe him.

They should be painting the reflecting pool red to symbolize how Trump is bleeding Americans dry by driving up the cost of absolutely everything while HE SPENDS exorbitant amounts of OUR MONEY on his overpriced vanity projects.

We aren’t a serious country, but are in serious trouble.

Guy in my section just cleanly caught a foul ball while seated, took a second to laugh about it with his buddy, and handed the ball to the nearest kid. That’s how you do it

Read at my council meeting tonight

These people are morons.

Here's another ad for Dems to play on repeat for the mid terms:

VAN HOLLEN: The article says agents with expertise in Iran were fired for their role in the classified documents investigations PATEL: The article, just like all the others you cited, is false. I terminated everyone that weaponized law enforcement V: I see. So it *was* related to the docs case

VAN HOLLEN: In your response to me earlier, where you had a blowup, you made a couple provably false statements PATEL: So did you VAN HOLLEN: Do you know it's a crime to lie to Congress? P: Maybe the next time you run up a $7,000 bar tab we can talk V: See. You're lying again. You're a disgrace

Patel is an unintelligent, pompous ASS, and this interview of his is driving ME to drink. He is wholly unfit. Wholly. I’m

Oh my god
