Those who commit their life to public service deserve to retire with dignity and security. That’s why I just signed a bill to boost pensions for Minnesota teachers, police officers, and firefighters.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The world may be taking a weekend off, but the war continues, regardless of weekends and weekdays. This cannot be ignored. America’s silence, the silence of others in the world, only encourages Putin.

Three children killed, 12 injured in Russian attack on Zhytomyr Region. 3 children aged 8, 12, and 17 were killed, In total, 10 people sustained injuries; 8 were rescued by the State Emergency Service (SES) and are currently hospitalized.

Donald Trump is, without a doubt, the MOST CORRUPT person to ever sit in the Oval Office. And these idiot Republicans and conservatives are fine with it. They have no morals, values, principles, ethics, integrity or honor. They are hypocrites. We should call them out EVERY DAY.

People who put their religious beliefs ahead of our Constitution and facts and science should not be allowed to hold public office in America.

The @economist.com celebrating the economic and political success of Poland...hope it's not premature

The guy who opened a fake university trying to take down Harvard is peak comedy.

Happy 84th birthday Bob Dylan! Right behind you…

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

“Those who mourn Sarah should reflect on her ideals, learn from her life’s work and aim as she did on creating the fragile groundwork for Middle East peace.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/o...

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

Wannabe dictator acting like a dictator.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

Joe Biden, you’re gonna beat this cancer. You’re a great man with a strong spirit, and you have a family that loves and supports you, not to mention tens of millions of us grateful for your steady, principled leadership.

Sofia and I are praying for Pres Biden and his family. Cancer sucks

Breaking News: Nicusor Dan, Bucharest’s centrist mayor, won Romania’s presidential election, defeating a hard-right candidate who is aligned with President Trump and has opposed military aid to Ukraine.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Jeff Bezos once mourned Jamal Khashoggi in public—now the Amazon billionaire is making billion-dollar deals with his executioner, which reveals more about his values than any vigil ever could. More in Status: www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos...

You'll be shocked, shocked to learn that the people behind Project 2025 are the exact same people who also invented the scheme to use antisemitism as a cudgel for actually destroying free speech and critical thinking at American universities www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Prom time

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Cousin Eddie has cracked the case.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court in a 7-2 ruling Friday said the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants in its rushed effort to remove them from the U.S. last month using the Alien Enemies Act (AEA), a 1798 wartime law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hey media, it looks like you’re feeling guilty these days bcuz you didn’t cover, in real time, Biden’s cognitive decline. Well I have a great way you can make up for it: RIGHT NOW, IN REAL TIME, COVER TRUMP’S COGNITIVE DECLINE. Don’t make the same mistake twice. Thanks media.

NEW: Judge Hannah Dugan files a blistering motion to dismiss the baseless charges against her. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/in-defense...

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

This is so unfair to Baty. He gets hot, sooo they bench him. He will cool off. Then they will eventually send him to the minors AGAIN where he will play every day and get hot. Hit repeat over and over.

Friday night Tequila tweet: She was in this country LEGALLY. She wrote an op-ed. And bcuz she wrote an op-ed, our government disappeared her, detained her for 6wks, & tried to deport her. Fuck that. That’s not America. Today she was freed. And free speech held. THAT’S America.

Kash Patel is the living definition of waste, fraud, and abuse—all on the taxpayer’s dime. Flying private to see his girlfriend, skipping critical meetings, and totally unfit for the job he was never qualified for in the first place. But hey… playing FBI Director is rough work.

Here’s a preview of the coming clash with SCOTUS which has already confirmed noncitizens are entitled to due process. “Sudden deportation” violates the Constitution.

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that our client Rümeysa Öztürk must be released on bail immediately. She will return home to New England as her case proceeds.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Air traffic controllers for New Jersey's Newark airport lost radar again for 90 seconds Friday, FAA says.

A true scandal. One of the biggest free speech violations of our lifetimes and yet the people who screamed about free speech on campus for the past decade were either responsible for the violation (Trump, GOP) or ran cover for it and enabled it (Bari Weiss, Fox, etc).

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process
