EXCLUSIVE: Sean Combs Allies Are Actively Working for a Trump Pardon Longtime Combs associates have spent months cozying up to Trump officials to lay groundwork for clemency pleas. Details ↓ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Trump just lied that his “big, beautiful bill” will “cut Taxes for ALL Americans.” His legislation would actually raise taxes on the poor, according to the congressional Joint Committee on taxation

arguing against birthright citizenship in front of the supreme court while at the same time pitching a netflix show where immigrants compete for citizenship is such a perfect microcosm of america right now that it feels fake

F.B.I. Dismantles Elite Public Corruption Squad

In other news, Kristi Noem has no Chief of Staff... ...because she gave that role to her alleged lover. (She is married, and not to her Chief of Staff.)

Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power. In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

The Trump admin is fast-tracking a uranium mine in Utah by slashing the permitting process to 14 days, bypassing environmental review and cutting the public out entirely. Projects like this are supposed to go through NEPA, the law that requires environmental impact assessments and public comment.

Sounds like Trump did a very bad job

First they arrested a judge. Now they’ve arrested the mayor of a major American city. This isn’t normal. This is an assault on democracy.

A Member of Congress —who was at the facility today with the Newark mayor — told Alicia Menendez on air tonight that the Newark mayor was *invited* into the detention facility. And then when he left, ICE arrested him for trespass!

Pope Psychopath the XII (Yes, Trump actually posted this image)

Longtime Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr has been fired by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Carr told reporters in an email.

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (AP) — A federal judge orders the US to return a Maryland man mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

I wrote for MSNBC about the grotesque irony of Trump stripping due process from innocent people while he himself gleefully exploits it to evade criminal accountability. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Our HHS Secretary, folks! 🙄

"Israeli officials complained privately to U.S. officials that Waltz’s texts became public." "The identity of a person in Yemen who was supplying information in real-time about the strikes would likely be carefully protected." As in highly classified. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

In response to a massive breach of national security by the most senior Trumpers, the DOJ is going to open a new investigation into Hillary Clinton.

The Supreme Court has upheld the legality of Biden-era restrictions on the distribution of parts and “kits” used to assemble so-called ghost guns.

Pathetic. And it won’t save NPR.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

“When you can’t attack the message, attack the messenger.” That's how Judge Beryl Howell begins her ruling refusing to recuse herself from the lawsuit over Trump's targeting of law firm Perkins Coie. Ruling storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wow. What is happening here with Hegseth?

News: NPR’s Tom Bowman reports of a Pentagon-wide warning about Signal’s security vulnerability - one week ago 👇🏼

Total incompetence, and gross negligence to put a legal point on it: Trump WH "envoy Steve Witkoff was in Moscow, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, when he was included in a group chat with more than a dozen other top administration officials" discussing war plans on Signal.

Gabbard answered many questions about topics that are "under review." She obviously refused to answer questions that would have led to damaging or embarrassing admissions, including here:

Hegseth is literally denying a story that the NSC has already confirmed and in which receipts were printed verbatim. Remember this the next time he impugns another journalist.

He doesn't have the acumen or organizational skill to know when and how to kick up dust in front of a bad story let alone run the Pentagon.

Schumer thinks these people are going to stand up to Trump if he ignores court orders. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Good timing.

from today's post — thanks for reading! link to the whole thing is here: bit.ly/4kWKHG4

If even Jeffrey Goldberg is saying "there's too much preemptive obeying for my taste" then the winds are indeed shifting.

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

Three days ago Trump took away my non-existent security clearance…. At the same time his cabinet was texting top secret plans with a member of the media on board. Copy that

The newest West Point board member, Mike Flynn, also promoted conspiracy theories that the Biden Administration was creating hurricanes and that it was plotting to assassinate over 100 members of Congress.

This so-called “press release” from Pam Bondi is wildly inappropriate and factually and legally inaccurate. How far the DOJ has fallen from grace… www.justice.gov/opa/pr/state...

God, the Soviets wanted that shut for ages, and now...hold on a minute...

Chuck Schumer has postponed three events on his book tour — including one in Washington, D.C. — amid widespread backlash to his capitulation to Republicans during last week’s spending negotiations.

Here's the statement from Yale confirming cancellation of the contract. Yale won't comment directly on what they think of the State Department's decision. They can barely stand up for the work of their own research lab

NEW: "After the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) cut funding to its election security programs, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) is taking matters into his own hands and forming an alternative program to fill CISA’s void for state and local election offices."

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121
