Trump wants to raise tariffs against China and revoke the visas of Chinese students. Any wonder why the talks might have stalled? www.axios.com/2025/05/30/b...

All I can say is, wow. www.alternet.org/trump-sychop...

Here's hoping that if this case does go all the way to the Supreme Court, they decline to hear it. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I hope this threat of a lawsuit by FPF is enough to quash the settlement between CBS/Paramount and the Trump administration. crooksandliars.com/2025/05/shar...

Teachable moments are only relevant if there are those willing to learn from them. We must never give up trying to teach our history to those willing to learn it. Knowledge is power, and we must hold on to ours. www.theroot.com/social-media...

People, please! In what court would Will Smith be allowed to walk in, testify against Diddy, and then just leave? Without being questioned or cross-examined? It was just some YouTube nonsense designed to get subscribers and cash; sadly, at Will's expense.

To all those heroes who sacrificed so much that we could stand up and resist to preserve the democracy we love.

Only Stage 9?

A happy message for the end of a long week. Grateful to have spent time with some of my favorite people this week. They refreshed my spirit and keep my hope alive. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎🖤

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Someone, please tell me how to turn off the Trump show. I'm tired of the daily havoc he insists on wreaking in this country just to keep himself front and center in the news and on TV. His name has probably been mentioned every day since he announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015. Ridiculous.

As they should. People pay colleges and universities to much money; and go into entirely to much debt to have the Trump administration dictate what students, what course curriculums, or when and where students should be permitted to assemble. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/u...

When are these millionaires/billionaires going to stand up to Trump and tell him where to stick it. His presidency will end in 4 years; as will his power, at which point he will need them more than they will need him. Someone needs to remind him of that. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Boeing should continue making adjustments to the Air Force One plane that will be use by current and future presidents. Let Trump raise his own funds to update the plane intended for his *cough* Presidential Library. Why should the taxpayers foot that bill? www.npr.org/2025/05/23/n...

It's only a matter of time before this ban is going to occur in every state that has yet to legalize marijuana. A lot of people turn to delta-8 and/or THC products to help them relax at the end of the day. Some rely on these products for medicinal purposes. www.texastribune.org/2025/05/23/t...

Just my opinion, but I think Jason Kelsey would come out of retirement today if he thought there was a guaranteed chance he play for the Eagles again. Don't count his football career out just yet. www.profootballnetwork.com/eagles-jason...

I'm not surprised. Trump has a tendency to say things that fly in the face of those statements made by other members of his cabinet. He also has a tendency to say things that are being used against him in courts of law and/or demonstrate disrespect for the law. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Ye might be right. Bipolar disorder may have been the wrong diagnosis. His actions and behavior are more demonstrative of Schizoaffective Disorder to me. www.thewrap.com/kanye-west-a...

Whichever actor they choose to portray the Ghost Rider is going to have some heavy shoes to fill. Personally, I can't imagine anyone in that role other then Nicolas Cage. bamsmackpow.com/marvel-cushi...

Just for giggles, when was the last time you heard Republicans/MAGA use the phrase "empty the swamp?"

This is fantastic. Here's hoping this decision doesn't get reversed on appeal. abcnews.go.com/US/judge-blo...

This is gonna bite the Trump administration in the ass. There are a lot of Harvard Republican alumni, and I doubt that they are going to just stand around and allow their legacies to be affected so unjustly. Trump is a temporary nuisance. Harvard is legendary. apnews.com/article/harv...

Disney and ABC asking hosts of "The View" to tone down their political conversations (probably for fear of Trump's retaliation) is just another reason people are giving their Disney subscription the ole heave ho. www.huffpost.com/entry/the-vi...

The Army being held accountable for any damage Trump's parade may cause to D.C.'s streets is exactly why they should have said "no" to the parade. Once again Trump benefits but someone else pays the cost. Neither our military, nor our servicemen, can afford this. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Still waiting for them to hold those congressional members who aided the J6 insurrectionists accountable before they go after people for lawfully performing their duties. They'd best be careful. What they do today may come back and bite them in the ass tomorrow. www.axios.com/2025/05/21/l...

Norm was such a beloved character on "Cheers" that Star Trek Deep Space Nine parodied a character after him named Morn, who was a regular at Quark's bar. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

I'm just sure it will. Trump is not about to let anything happen to his Mar-a-Lago cash cow. Not to mention Florida is one of those good old red states that always support Trump. They scratched his back so he'll scratch theirs. wiod.iheart.com/featured/flo...

The president should not have any decisions over who does or who does not get FEMA relief. Trump is vindictive. If he gets to choose who gets relief, it will be quid pro quo based. Did you support my election? Are you passing my agenda? My big beautiful bill? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Better yet, as a duty to our country, how about you forgo that $25-$45 million dollar military birthday parade you want. Our servicemen would probably appreciate that as well. www.cleveland.com/nation/2025/...

@thedailyshow.comA missing statue of late rock icon Jim Morrison has been found—by accident—37 years after it was stolen from his cemetery plot in Paris.
