So much for any leverage in the Frump-Xi meeting. China took care of themselves. US has no power.

According to 404 Media, ICE officials have admitted that Palantir has helped build a database of 20 million people for the agency to use for raids and arrests. Yet another reason why Palantir is America's most dangerous corporation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

Wow!

GILLIBRAND: What is your record?! I don't want to just hear about what you don't like about the Biden administration SCOTT TURNER: During the Biden administra-- GILLIBRAND: Stop talking about Biden! Talk about your record TURNER: During the Biden administration-- GILLIBRAND: Oh my God!

House Democrats secured the necessary signatures to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a package of Russia sanctions and billions of dollars in Ukraine aid. This is the eighth time in the last three years that a discharge petition has been used to do an end-run around GOP leadership.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

NEW: NAACP on Supreme Court allowing Alabama to redraw map to dilute power of Black voters "We are witnessing a return to Jim Crow. Anybody who is alarmed by these developments—as everybody should be—better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness"

This project needs to be stopped now!

Let's give a shout-out to the 3 members of the Supreme Court who believe in a country where we're all treated equally, where justice has not been sold to the super-rich. It must be excruciating to watch close-up as 6 fascist colleagues dismantle democracy. All respect to Jackson, Kagan & Sotomayor.

We have an illegitimate, racist-led SC. Most corrupt ever.

Is he now making excuses for an upcoming scam to redo the entire Whitehouse?

Now that is quite a quote!

Out like a light

This would be unbelievable if it wasn't so believable. Sean Duffy was paid with our tax dollars, while he was on a 7 month road trip?

Trump thought they could run over Iran like they did Venezuela. This regime has no clue about foreign affairs or the realities of war.

Court of International Trade, in a divided opinion, strikes down Trump's 10% tariffs, holding he improperly invoked the Trade Act of 1974, which requires a response to “balance of payment” issues. Assuming ruling holds, unscrambling the eggs is going to be an enormous problem for the Administration.

ALERT: NAACP files civil suit asking court to BLOCK the redistricting in Tennessee, which is poised to eliminate the only Black Voting District in the state naacp.org/sites/defaul...

Spoken too about 15 minutes too soon on Reuters?

There is no war. There is a ceasefire. Negotiations are almost complete. Let's just bomb them.

This is an odd way to put it.... “I think, at a very basic level, people think we’re making policy decisions, we’re saying we think this is how things should be, as opposed to what the law provides,” Roberts told a conference for judges and lawyers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is what the SC did.

Relabeling a war as an “excursion” and declaring it over at six weeks while the fighting continues is called propaganda.

Again, I want to point out that all of the warehouses that ICE is buying up are meant for us!

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

Leaked CIA memo reveals true extent of Iran's leverage in firefight: report A bombshell CIA memo distributed to administration policymakers the week revealed that Iran is in a far stronger military and economic position than President Trump has publicly claimed www.rawstory.com/leaked-iran-...

They will continue to terrorize neighborhoods and harm children because there have been no consequences. Absolutely no consequences.

For some reason, this is the stupid kind of shit that makes me really mad.

Reminder as you plan your summer vacation: TSA is reportedly sharing airline passenger info with ICE for immigration enforcement purposes. We’re suing for records about the secretive data-sharing agreements. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

“Operation Epic Fury” was an EPIC FAILURE.

One day after news broke that Republicans want to spend at least $1 billion taxpayer dollars for a ballroom Trump said would be privately funded and cost one-fifth that amount, Trump claims it will cost "something less than 400 Million Dollars." The math ain't mathing.

Where has all the ballroom bribe money gone?

WATCH: Rubio admits “the goal” is now just to go “back to the way it was” before Trump’s costly, deadly, pointless war Great job guys! 😕🙃

Kushner and Witkoff have everything covered. Keep things in the family.

You know that Project Freedom thing that both Hegseth and Rubio held press conferences about today? Trump now says it’s already on pause lol

Absurd

Looking down the barrel of a 2,170-mile drive starting Thursday. Podcast suggestions? Please cite below. And thank you

Excellent discussion about the SC Callais decision and how it came about.

Iran claims to have struck a US ship. Trump claims they did not. We know Trump is a serial liar. It is possible Iran is lying. You decide.

In total, 39 states are holding elections this year for statewide positions that interact with elections...States United found at least 53 election-denying candidates are vying for those jobs at this point in the midterm cycle. www.npr.org/2026/05/04/n...

Gas is up $0.30 since I filled up last week.

1/7 DOJ is trying to inflate a small, routine false‑statement/registration case into a dramatic front in a national fight to “protect election integrity” from supposedly rampant noncitizen voting.

Wow — REPUBLICAN Rep. Michele Reneau points out this @GovBillLee special session to steal representation from MEMPHIS violates Tennessee Law… and “reflecting voters” in a 40% Dem state is NOT 9-0. www.electmichele.com/post/special...

This is profoundly dangerous. Trump is trying to recast political opposition not only as a betrayal of the country but also as potentially criminal.

I agree. This is exactly what the regime is trying to do. “Trump is trying to amass a master list that will allow him to declare someone an enemy of the state,” - Arizona Secretary of State www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

They want to reduce benefits for families who choose to keep their family members withdown syndrome and dementia at home.
