What Trump has done to the DC area isn’t just outrageous…it’s personal for me. His heartless firing of federal workers. It’s all maddening. You want to make your voices heard. I do too. Join me for a live town hall this Monday, June 2 at the Lincoln Theatre in DC. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!” Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

NEW: Pam Bondi vows to release the full Epstein client list if all these pictures are deleted from the internet. 👇

Hold the phone! I’ve got a big announcement to make and you’re hearing it first. @repjasmine.bsky.social will be joining me for my town in hall in DC Monday. More at 4p ET. @glennkirschner.bsky.social joins me on the show today. See you soon!

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

Jake Tapper's TV show ratings are tanking and his book isn't selling, proving that peddling irrelevant BS during a time of an actual national crisis isn't a winning formula.

Trump expressed openness to pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. Trump stated he would consider the facts of the case, acknowledging he hasn’t followed it closely and hasn’t spoken to Combs in years. www.rawstory.com/trump-267223...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

For Over 3 FRIGGIN HOURS this Traitor did Nothing.......

Bucharest is excited for their mayor, Nicușor Dan, to have been elected the new president of Romania! The world is rejecting Trumpism.

No one looks as horrible as Jake Tapper does right now. May his book rot on shelves wherever good people gather.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

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.

"Videos shared with The Eagle show people videotaping the arrests and asking ICE officers questions about warrants and due process. Others taunted the officers, most of whom were masked and heavily armed..." www.berkshireeagle.com/breaking/ice...

If you stand with immigrants and the humane due process they deserve, please consider using the hashtag #OnYourSide to show your support. We thank all Americans who reject the vile treatment of any human being. #OnYourSide

at this point it’s starting to feel like these jets are just committing suicide

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

Things I did not have on my 2025 bingo card: ✅ American pope ✅ Drunk Fox News host interim U.S. Attorney ✅Conspiracy theory podcaster FBI Director ✅Drunk Fox News host Defense Secretary ✅Madman and his hackers with full access to our data—including Social Security numbers Add yours…

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

He's losing court cases. He's losing his trade war. His cabinet is a disaster. Voters are turning out against his people and ideals. He's unpopular. He looks weaker everyday. The only thing he has is executive orders and firing his own people. It's early, keep fighting, we're going to win this. 💙

This was a great conversation — thank you Stacey!

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

Good for Bill Gates

“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country. “Our leaders must follow their example.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

The new pope's brother: “I know he’s not happy with what’s going on with immigration. I know that for a fact. How far he’ll go with it is only one’s guess, but he won’t just sit back. I don’t think he’ll be the silent one.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/w...

THIS IS NOT NORMAL Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl's face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation #immigration

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

The regime just fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the first African American and first woman so serve as head of the library of congress. She was fired without cause in a TWO WORD EMAIL.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Bro looks like marine patrol pulled him out of the river as a statistic 🤣

We know exactly how you feel, Carney.

…y'all need to rehire all those DEI's because it seems like they were the ones who understood how aircraft carrier tie-downs work

lol.

Looking forward to joining @jenpsaki.msnbc.com for her premiere episode tonight. Tune in to @msnbc.com at 9pm ET.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”
