So it turns out that Elon Musk is 5X the sex-crazed, drug-addled freak that Republicans claimed Hunter Biden was...and whereas Hunter played no role in his dad's administration, Musk was basically running much of the country for the past 4 months. Lovely.

Trump says we're overrun by "illegals." He's manifested those fever dreams into reality through a “de-documentation” campaign, stripping legal immigrants of their visas & work permits. He's not targeting criminals; he's criminalizing immigrants who follow the law. wapo.st/3HvBBka

BECAUSE OF COURSE: Remember how RFK Jr. bragged about his "gold-standard" science? More like slop science: His big "MAHA" report has fake—presumably AI-generated—citations. Great reporting from @emilykennard.bsky.social and @margaretmanto.bsky.social www.notus.org/health-scien...

Biden tried to make community college free, but the Republicans blocked him. Because of Trump's dementia, he can't remember this and apparently most Republicans have caught his dementia.

At the time, I missed the opening of this May 1 interview in which Jesse Watters says Musk invited Fox News “to sit in on *his* weekly 10 pm DOGE meeting.” “We met the whole crew…And they showed us how DOGE really gets done.” Conspicuously absent? AMY GLEASON, THE PERSON WHO SUPPOSEDLY LEADS DOGE

Trump spent more time at his golf club yesterday than he did at Arlington National Cemetery

This guy was convicted of stealing more than $10 million in taxpayer dollars, ordered to pay $4.4 million of it back as restitution, but now the taxpayers will get nothing because Trump gave him a full pardon after accepting $1 million from his mother. I need you to spread this story everywhere!

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

"Trump Pardoned Tax Cheat After Mother Attended $1 Million Dinner" "Paul Walczak’s pardon application cited his mother’s support for [Trump], including raising millions of dollars and a connection to a plot to publicize a Biden family diary." via NYT 🎁 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

As you contemplate that Donald Trump used pro-terrorism conduct as his baseless pretext to prohibit foreign students from attending Harvard, remember that on his first day on the job, Trump freed some adjudged terrorists from prison.

“If I am understanding the numbers correctly, the latest version of their tax scam, the top 0.1 percent stand to gain $255,000 on average in 2027 alone,” McGovern said. “That is $700 a day every day.” https://trib.al/gzYgDSJ

See, the money goes into his personal account, so it's not a conflict.

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

“On Medicaid work requirements, who will judge the character judges?”I’m having deja vu all over again. I wrote this 2018 piece in a cold fury, and that feeling is back. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

New from CBO: the Republican budget reconciliation plan would hurt the poorest Americans while helping the richest Americans

The Marco Rubio who testified today is not the one I served with in the Senate. He has had a full MAGA lobotomy. Today I directly told him about the many ways he has betrayed American values and interests:

Sen. Warren was my 1L contracts professor, and this is why we never came to class without doing the assigned reading.

Donald Trump’s Justice Department has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbit. What?!

Overwhelming majority of Democratic Senators don’t have any semblance of comms “strategy” bc much like their leader they are infatuated with predictable tactics. Wrote about this on @brianbeutler.bsky.social’s off message platform weeks ago. Sadly Schumer Dems are still haplessly lost.

100% believable

This is the story (about the comparative corruptions of Hunter Biden and Don Jr.) that has the White House threatening to investigate Business Insider and Politico as “foreign influence operations” — so we definitely don’t want anyone to read it! www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump...

Yet again Trump is taking credit for what Biden did.

How many times a week am I going to have to post that this administration’s new plan will kill people? Because this will kill people. www.statnews.com/2025/05/15/c...

Former Rep. Malinowski on the $400 million jet gifted by Qatar: “I think this may be less of a bribe…and perhaps more of a shakedown where in fact it was Trump and his envoys to the region, before the trip happened, who said, This is what he wants.”

Even before President Trump was re-elected, the Heritage Foundation — the conservative think tank behind Project 2025 — set out to destroy pro-Palestinian activism in the U.S. Read more: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...
