Bribery in plain sight.

Hed could also be: “Trump plans to accept a bribe from a foreign state in violation of the explicit text of the Constitution” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

This makes it official. America is now in a Constitutional Crisis.

"The most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Pitchforks and torches.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Really embarrassing that @npr.org had to dig up a retired professor from SUNY Buffalo who hasn't published original research in at least 9 years to pretend as if there are two legitimate sides of this debate. You don't need to put Flat Earth'ers in every story about space!

@godpod.bsky.social Overused. At least give a specific reason to make it funny. Dies of embarrassment maybe? Or say “taps out”.

My latest: The Technocrat Has No Clothes: The "Shattering" of Elon Musk In a new book, "Hubris Maximus," author Faiz Siddiqui exposes Elon Musk's appetite and legacy of reckless destruction and shatters the manufactured myth of his alleged genius. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

"We have instances now in western countries where people are being arrested [...] the cop comes knocking on their door, you're going to go to jail for 60 days for posting something online. You know, this is crazy stuff that's happening all over." Marco Rubio on April 16, 2025, if you can believe it

In defense of Ukraine Anonymous has released 10TB of leaked data on all businesses operating in Russia, all Kremlin assets in the West, pro-Russian officials, Donald Trump, and more. 🇺🇦 #OpRussia

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

The record is in, and it now reveals that those ammosexual gun fetishizers who sworn they needed an arsenal to stave off government “tyranny,” not only fully supported that tyranny, but bent all the way over when government obliterated the very Constitution they claimed to want to defend.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Bill Maher is the Marco Rubio of comedy.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

He’s so close to getting it

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

🚨 BREAKING Democrat Dan Goughnour wins a special election for the Pennsylvania State House, breaking a 101-101 tie and securing Democratic control of the chamber.

But her emails...

Elon Musk is suspending Twitter accounts of people who post images of the massive demonstrations against Erdogan now underway in Istanbul. The world Elon loves: Russia, North Korea, Turkey, Hungary, Likudistan and Trumpistan.

Italy has suspended the Starlink $1.6 billion purchase negotiations with SpaceX amid Musk being a Nazi and a Trump / Russia collaborator. Italy cites security concerns about the reliability of the US.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Not to be dramatic. But I grew up in Germany learning about ww2 and the rise of fascism for all 13 years of school. I grew up around the trans generational trauma of what happened and how it could have been stopped.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.
