I cannot stop wheezing

Peter Navarro snaps at @andrewfeinberg.com after Feinberg points out that the administration always responds to court orders they don't like by railing against judges

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Musk lashes out at an interviewer for pressing him on DOGE, then attacks Bill Gates. He’s definitely losing it. He also claims Tesla sales are “rebounding,” but the numbers say otherwise. The boycott of Tesla is working.

We’re more than 11 hours into this rules debate, and I count ONE Republican in this room. ONE. Meanwhile, there are more than THIRTY democrats here who’ve been waiting all night to fight for their communities.

Question: Why would 🇺🇸 companies have to “eat them” if the other countries already pay them? Answer: They don’t. Tariffs are a tax on us. time.com/7285637/walm...

Powell says "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they're likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth and an increase in unemployment."

Statement from the #MusiciansUnion of the United States 🇺🇸 and #Canada 🇨🇦 to the fat bastard #BruceSpringsteen #TaylorSwift

looking at the photo that headlines this piece i think i know what the university of austin means when they say they don't tolerate "DEI" quillette.com/2025/05/16/i...

4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday

Bruce Springsteen is 75 years old. Donald Trump is 78. I think we found the reason why Donald is so mad at him. At 78, Trump looks like a sack of spoiled yogurt, and Bruce Springsteen at 75 looks like, well, Bruce Springsteen.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

Is that stupid person in the room with us right now?

Jon, a local Marine veteran, is sounding the alarm on one of Trump’s dangerous new executive orders. Listen to what Jon has to say, and please spread the word.

He said / Xi said…nothing.

They’re arresting judges now

Our cover this week.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Pass this on. I assume anyone can attend. We need more of these clinics around the country

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

Make no mistake — the Trump administration is refusing to comply with the Supreme Court as it pertains to Abrego Garcia's release. This is where we are now. This is what they are doing. This is only the beginning.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

🚨BREAKING: Four more Big Law firms join the ranks of Trump collaborators. A&O Shearman, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins and Simpson Thacher all capitulated. In a sign of growing inflation, each firm agreed to $125m in Trump approved pro bono. Shameful.

Republicans have never cared about defending against government infringement on “free speech,” which is what the First Amendment actually prohibits. They just lie to their supporters and tell them “free speech” means freedom to basically be a bigot and use hate speech—which is just patently false.

NEW from Abrego Garcia's attorneys: "The Government continues to delay, obfuscate, and flout court orders, while a man’s life and safety is at risk. Its request for an extension ... is another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

During Abrego Garcia hearing right now, Judge Xinis asks the DOJ attorney (Drew Ensign) where is Mr. Abrego Garcia. Ensign: I don't have that info. My clients haven't given me that info as of today. Judge Xinis: Where is he? Ensign: I don't have that info.

America Last, Putin First

SCOTUS: Facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia JUDGE XINIS: Tell me what you're doing to return him DOJ: We need a week XINIS: You have 3 hours DOJ: No There's supposed to be a hearing in 10 minutes.

Eighteen months before the midterms, the Republican National Committee is litigating more than 40 cases aimed at making voting more difficult. In North Carolina, the GOP is literally trying to steal a state Supreme Court seat won by a Democrat last November.

Try not to laugh.

Unhinged Shit RFK Jr Has Done This Week 🤪 Prattled to FDA about the deep state; used disability slurs 😡 Intruded on a child's funeral (passed from measles). Told father, "You don't know what's in the vaccine anymore" 🙃 Committed to spend taxpayer dollars investigating debunked causes of autism

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Can you relate?

MTG dabbling in insider trading now too

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Thin-skinned Trump now targets Susman Godfrey, the law firm that represented Dominion Voting against Fox News. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Isn’t it weird how quiet all those “weaponization of government” yahoos get when Donald Trump personally orders his DOJ to go after people who criticized him?

I am absolutely not a fan of this man, that said, he’s completely correct and the messaging here is 💯

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin screening immigrants’ social media accounts for antisemitic content as grounds to deny visa and green-card applications, the agency announced — a move that immigration law and free-speech experts condemn as an alarming federal overstep.

A Delaware judge finds the right-wing network aired false and defamatory statements about Dominion Voting Systems' role in the 2020 presidential election. A jury trial is slated for late April.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).
