“Joe Biden did nothing to fix the system that they knew was broken.” He did nothing — except pass a $105 billion program to fix the system. Reporters, Sean Duffy thinks you’re incapable of a simple Google search.

So American children should make do with "two dolls" while Donald Trump gets a free "sky palace" from the Qatari government? Okay.

Jesus Christ, man, you know everyone can see this, right?

I’ve said it before, but here I go again: incessant both-sidesing by legacy media has helped foster and cement the idea that there is no difference between politicians or parties. And that is a not insignificant part of how we got here.

For the umpteenth time: If tariffs are such a good thing, how come everyone breathes a big sigh of relief and how come the markets rejoice whenever Trump is forced to cave and rescind them?

One reason that none of the scandals have ever *quite* stuck to Trump is that media companies have largely not chosen to make them stick. They drop a carefully reported story under an anodyne headline, nobody reads it, everyone shrugs and moves on

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

I had literally just signed the paperwork on my dolls/tiny screws factory in the US. 😩

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Every day I will marvel at how hard James Comer tried without success to prove that Biden was tangentially corrupt and how little of a shit he gives that Trump is demonstrably, outrageously corrupt.

The corruption is so obscene and brazen. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Wait. WHAT??!! abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

The video does not, in fact, show this. Surprise, surprise. m.youtube.com/watch?v=6FxF...

He probably doesn’t even believe that shit he just thinks this is a game. Maybe worse than the people who believe.

"However, India’s foreign ministry contradicted Mr. Rubio, saying the cease-fire was worked out directly between India and Pakistan, and that there had been no decision to hold talks on any other issue at any location."

This seems like an incredibly significant ruling that stops Trump and Elon from achieving a lot of their goals. Let’s see if it holds.

If you're infuriated by what ICE & Worcester Police did to a Brazilian woman, her teenage daughter, and the school nurse they arrested for trying to protect them, there's a list of ways to speak out in this thread www.nbcboston.com/news/local/h...

"President Donald Trump has been personally involved in discussions inside the administration over potentially suspending habeas corpus." www.cnn.com/2025/05/09/p...

BREAKING NEWS: Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk has been released from an immigration detention center following a federal judge's order - CNN

Me, looking hard at the prosecutors in the Luigi case and wondering what they’re doing with their lives

Brave patriotic ICE officials, as always, covering their faces out of shame.

something really badly wrong at FAA

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Several Columbia Univ student journalists are suspended after covering protests (while wearing press ID) in the main library. Their access to campus is blocked, and they can't take final exams. Also: Columbia's acting president is a former ABC journalist www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/05...

Exclusive: Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft struck a deal with President Trump last month intended to secure the future of New York’s oldest law firm. Instead the pact is backfiring, adding to an exodus of lawyers that has placed the firm on uncertain footing.

Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration. She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic." Gonna thread some of her lowlights.

WSJ: Cadwalader’s pact with Trump “is backfiring, adding to an exodus of lawyers that has placed the firm on uncertain footing.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Happy Thursday evening! One of my favorite happy dog sketches

Perryman: Let’s be clear: the attacks on lawyers are blatantly unconstitutional. Every single federal court that has considered the executive orders naming law firms has issued orders to block them because they are patently unlawful. What does it say about lawyers who won’t challenge that?

MURRAY: It was due last week. By law. PATEL: I understand. MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline? PATEL: No MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?

Hilarious statement from the inventor of presidential immunity

NEW: Our CBS News review found approx. 500 of the AMERICORPS program grants terminated by Trump Admin are in states Trump won in 2024 Nonprofits, charities, ed. programs, child abuse prevention initiatives lose millions. Some report "damage & chaos" www.cbsnews.com/news/americo...

amazing. and seems to have been going on unreported until now

This is legit one of the most frightening things I've seen on TV in my life and it's basically not even making a blip because there's no X or Fox News of the left(ish).

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Republican challenger concedes a 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court election to the Democratic incumbent.

DOGE guy at the CFPB owned verboten stocks. He was explicitly warned by ethics lawyers that he wasn’t permitted to take any action that could benefit those companies — and him. He then helped fire workers anyway. Including the ethics lawyers who warned him. www.propublica.org/article/cfpb...

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) does not plan to appeal a judge’s order blocking President Donald Trump from adding a proof of citizenship requirement on a federal registration form, according to a court filing made Monday by plaintiffs in the case.🥳

We’re suing the Trump administration over its attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps has a proven track record of supporting and improving communities across our nation — more than we can say about the policies of this administration. We will see them in court.
