The DNC being excessively rude online to Trump’s White House policy architect would hit harder if it were coupled with the party’s full stop blockade of voting for his appointees

Democratic state AGs say their staff excluded from Vance anti-fraud meeting missouriindependent.com/2026/05/27/r...

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

Tennis ruling bodies are failing at dealing with general warming around the world. The season schedule will have to change but heat rules should be updated and made uniform _now_. #TennisSky

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

Impeachable offenses _every_ day.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

"Talarico is a vegan." "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Uh, well, Talarico says God is nonbinary or something?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Um, Talarico is, uh, low T?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Talarico is going to institute sharia law!" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile."

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

New: Federal agents pulled a gun on neighbors observing an arrest in Washington DC on Tuesday. Witnesses say the agents (from several agencies) were arresting a man for having an open beer. "There's a whole surge, right, that's coming out of the President's office," one agent is heard explaining.

In the latest Bounces, I wrote about just how remarkable it was for #RolandGarros to put Sinner first on Chatrier tomorrow. His is the first men's match to get the opening Chatrier slot in THREE YEARS. And it's very obvious that it's to protect him from heat. www.benrothenberg.com/p/jannik-sin...

I feel like Stephen Miller is the exception to debating limits like Godwin’s Law. I don’t make the rules. I just observe them (or don’t, in this case).

Congress should make very clear that anyone participating in this has lost the ability to be in a position of public trust.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

Ken Paxton managed to get fewer votes for AG in 2022 than any of the 11 other Republican nominees for statewide office in Texas that election. Land commissioner Railroad commissioner Court of criminal appeals judge. Many Texans pulled the lever for every R except Paxton. Because they hate him.

Dems should be doing _nothing_ but tying congressional Republicans to Trump on a daily basis. Just ad nauseum.

Anybody annoyed at the shift to email code verification for logins after years of maintaining a password manager?

catching up on ladies dubs and the courts for Hsieh/Wang vs Kastkina/Osorio seem totally baked - playing like a hard court - ball is scooting through on volleys. Fund match so far at 2-2 #TennisSky

The Best Thing We Saw at Roland Garros Today "You can't be thinking it's gonna be easy" Yuliia Starodubtseva—late-bloomer, Masters degree holder, Ukraine native who hasn’t seen home in 4 years—pulled off the upset of the week so far, over Elena Rybakina www.tennis.com/news/article...

It’s giving

This graph shows primary deficits from 1790-2054. If G = R, then, if you have a primary balance, debt/GDP is stable. (Through most of US history, G is slightly above R). The orange line shows we'd have a primary surplus (and therefore declining debt/GDP) if not for the 21st century tax cuts.

NEW: DHS is auto-extending Temporary Protected Status for Lebanon for another six months, because they failed to make the required decision to renew or terminate in time. For the roughly 7,000 Lebanese people who currently have TPS, the new expiration date is November 27.

WH says (with no self awareness) that announcements about the Iran situation from government sources are not to be believed.

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

Taking a first pitch to another level 🏅 Japanese Olympic gold medalist figure skaters Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara threw the first pitch at the Dodgers game this week!

I think the question for Roland Garros is not what the hot weather will do in the first week (already a bunch of seeds out), but it will cause in the second week as some will recover much better than others... #TennisSky

I don't think Paxton is a typical Trump acolyte as he has a long history of stabbing friends in the back. I think he's more a (smarter) Tuberville type who will do whatever serves him in the moment and will have some core fringe beliefs.

I'm starting to think Andy Kim is who I used to think Cory Booker was ... someone who _always_ puts decency ahead of politics.

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

Literally in the constitution: "No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another."

I think we are relearning how corrosive inflation is to economic sentiment No one cares about _net_ inflation, as psychologically things that you can no longer afford cause pain in excess of any benefit of things you can now afford _more_ of. 2 TVs instead of 1 is meh. No more concerts is painful.

He inherited a solid economy the first time and a recovering one the second time. In both cases he made catastrophic decisions that led to widespread suffering.

Maybe not having a confirmed director of the CDC or the FDA is bad.

This seems very bad. I keep hoping the world will be totally fine without any help from the U.S. since we no longer have science or medicine here thanks to MAHA and Captain Quackery.

Hsieh/Wallner - He has a babyface and it's like he's playing with his cool aunt. #fun #TennisSky

A court declaration filed by the Trump administration has revealed that Customs and Border Protection overstated its tariff refunds by at least $10 billion.

I've long wondered about that.

Lol, the Silicon Valley bros will come out in hives at this - as.ft.com/r/b42ee322-5...

🇺🇸❗️FT: Trump’s “Board of Peace” has raised big pledges for Gaza reconstruction, but four months later the official fund has no money in it and no rebuilding projects have started. Donors appear to be bypassing the World Bank-managed fund…

Truly low turnout in some counties in South Texas. In Starr County, Trump got roughly 9,500 votes in 2024. 90 votes counted in the GOP runoff today. In Webb County, Trump got roughly 33,300 votes in 2024. Roughly 2,300 voters today.

"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

Trump posted the exact same (crazy) thing on Truth Social 8 days apart. The cognitive isn't cognitiving.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos go around talking about how super-rich people like them are paying a large share of taxes, and so why should they pay more. That's very misleading, as @gabrielzucman.bsky.social explains on his substack—republished here on @motherjones.com.

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history. We're building 200,000 affordable homes. We’re overhauling code enforcement. We’re cracking down on bad landlords. We’re creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.

Indeed, you cannot.
