This was such a gorgeous historic place before the Trumps moved in...

It’s even worse when seen from the ground. We’ve been to Paris, drove in the six lanes that circle the Arc de Triomphe, it’s majestic and classic. Trump’s arch is grotesque and dwarfs the Lincoln Memorial.

So pro-life they’re pro-death.

BREAKING: In a loss for Florida voters, A DeSantis-appointed judge greenlit the GOP's newly enacted gerrymander for use in the 2026 midterms. The ruling comes after pro-voting groups argued there was "staggering" evidence the map violates a state ban on partisan gerrymandering.

My heart broke to see Americans fighting Americans in our streets yesterday. As I saw ICE agents tackling civilians and firing pepper balls into the crowd, I was overwhelmed by how broken we’ve become. We cannot normalize this violence. Here’s what happened at Delaney Hall: THREAD

We were going to send out a reminder of why Ken Paxton is so terrible. But the NRSC already did it for us.

BOOM 💥 NEW: South Carolina Republicans saw the insane lines and slammed the brakes on another gerrymandering circus targeting Black voters and Jim Clyburn. S Carolina Dems made it clear: changing maps after voting already started is crazy work!

There are 64 secret ICE facilities we don’t know about and they are illegal because they are not meant for detention.

Trump is using our tax money to fund his vanity projects, all thanks to a dark money group embedded in the Interior Department. Critics contend that the Trump administration is breaking laws, and dodging congress, by diverting funds appropriated for America250, a nonprofit organization set up by Congress to organize the country’s 250th birthday, to Freedom250. Unlike America250, Freedom250 is not legally required to hold bipartisan events. Nor is it informing lawmakers how it spends funds.

Here is how justice works in Trump’s Washington. The Biden Justice Department indicted Gautam Adani, one of the world’s wealthiest men, for a $265 million scheme to bribe Indian government officials and defraud American investors. The Trump Justice Department just let him walk. Last month, Adani’s lawyer, Robert Giuffra, who also happens to be one of Donald Trump's personal attorneys, walked into the Justice Department with an offer: drop the charges, and Adani will invest $10 billion in the U.S. economy. When this Administration talks about fighting fraud, what they mean is fighting fraud that doesn’t come with a check attached. This is the most corrupt administration in American history, and they are not even trying to hide it anymore. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/nyr…

Baseball’s musical soundtrack, the organ, started with the Dodgers; they were the first team to hire a full-time organist over 80 years ago. Today that tradition lives on with wildly talented @DieterRuehle, the most popular live act in all of L.A. Let’s get into it!

Friendly reminder that when you die, the corporation you work for will have your job listed before the funeral. So go home, pet your dog, hug your family, and listen to Jerry Garcia. Invest your energy where it matters.

This is extremely wrong. But don’t trust me, here’s Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the most conservative Supreme Court judges of all time, making the point clear.

Public uproar has echoed across the Tahoe area when our yearlong investigation revealed that, in California, the fastest-growing use of glyphosate is to spray forested areas. This includes snowboarder Hannah Teter, who won gold in the halfpipe at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.
