The USA is barely recognizable after 4 months; if you think you can sit on the sidelines and it will be handed back to you in four years you are out of your mind.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

This is correct, and no amount of silly ass "ranked-choice voting will save us" framing is gonna prevent Cuomo from winning. This primary is his to lose. Zohran Mamdani, Adrienne Adams, Brad Lander, etc. need to decide if they actually want to beat Cuomo or be a footnote in his biography.

We can keep discussing these societal issues year after year, but nothing is likely to change. Instead, it’s up to you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family and live with the reassurance that you can protect your life if the threat arises—plain and simple.

There are no “moderate” voters. There are Trump voters who make excuses for their vote by saying that Democrats are too far left. The most unfortunate byproduct of this phenomenon lies in the Democratic strategists and pollsters and candidates chasing nonexistent “moderate” voters.

Phang: These are bright, talented young men and women about to embark on the next stage of their lives. And what they got was a rambling, incoherent, dementia-laden rant. Just pure diarrhea of the mouth from Trump. He has no faculties left that remain uncompromised.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

Thank you to Southern University at New Orleans for the honor of serving as your 2025 commencement speaker, and for the incredible gift of an honorary doctorate. To the graduates: They underestimated SUNO. They underestimated you. But you pushed through every obstacle, every setback, & still rose.

My heartfelt suggestion for y'all today is staying offline for a few hours and doing something that brings you calm or joy. It was a long week, and it's not healthy to be constantly immersed in doomscrolling. Step away from the bullshit and replenish.
