@NBCNews Failed football coach. Failed Senator. Alabama racists deserve what they get.

What a shame that under @DAGToddBlanche the DOJ has been corrupted and weaponized beyond all recognition, mostly to benefit the criminally convicted trump.

@washingtonpost I'm looking for a lawyer, willing to file a class action suit, against IRS and Social Security, for allowing DOGE to access and possess my personal information, without my permission, which has not been recovered. SSA refuses to even say what they are doing. Time for us to sue.

Since last spring, the Government Accountability Office has been looking into how DOGE members accessed sensitive government databases. But the probes have been stymied by federal agencies trying to avoid handing over information. wapo.st/4eTtA7s

@washingtonpost Insurrectionists filmed in the act, found guilty by a jury of peers, attacked Capitol and MDC police, get pardoned and now a payoff. Isn't a corrupt trump administration something that we are all embarrassed by. Worst president for democracy & rule of laws, ever.

President Trump announced a $1.8 billion fund widely expected to go to people who stormed the Capitol after he lost the 2020 presidential election. The fund has shocked ethics experts and stirred impeachment talk among some Democrats. wapo.st/4ukQXeS

@NBCNews Damn, another win for slimy lying Stan Kroenke. Makes me sick.

Tens of thousands of people flocked to the streets of North London late after Arsenal clinched its first Premier League title in 22 years, sparking wild scenes outside the team’s stadium that continued deep into the night. nbcnews.com/sports/soccer/…

@NBCNews The DOJ, run by trump's personal lawyer, have one objective: protect the crimes of the president and those associated with him (family and more). Not only is this taxpayer funded slush fund wrong, but Blanche now gives trump, his family, his company, a pass on a history of crime.

Opponents of a $1.776 billion taxpayer-backed “anti-weaponization” fund projected a quote from one of the Founding Fathers onto the Justice Department building in protest. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

@NBCNews He clearly looks like stranger danger. What is wrong with these people? This is not the 1950s.

A Tennessee school board member who hugged a teenage girl and called her “hot” at a public meeting last month is charged with assault, court records show. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/s…

After an extended weekend recess, the @GOPHouse will be in session today. They recess again Friday, not for a long weekend but an entire week. With inflation, gas prices and so any issues facing Americans, the @GOPHouse & @SpeakerJohnson choose not to work. They, too, don't care

@axios The corrupt trump crime family. Corruption, grift, self enrichment never before seen by a president and his family. But @RepJamesComer still protects trump refusing even the basic inquiries. His witch hunt wasn't about abuse, but hatred toward Biden. What a fraud.

With each passing month, Trump is weaving the financial interests of his family, his allies and his political movement more tightly than ever into the fabric of the American presidency. axios.com/2026/05/19/tru…

This is not good news for consumers. Food companies now see inflation as persistent and lasting into 2027. The current @GOPHouse and @GOPSenate seem oblivious, like trump to our pain. We can fix that in November. foodbusinessnews.net/articles/30328…

@JonLemire Meanwhile, the US is still down many reserve armaments, while the SecDef is off playing politics in violation of the Hatch Act, as if we are not in a war.

"Iran has used the monthlong cease-fire with the United States to dig out scores of bombed ballistic missile sites, move mobile missile launchers, and, despite significant losses, adjust its tactics for any resumption of strikes" nytimes.com/2026/05/18/us/…

@NBCNews 11 stripes? Did trump take two original colonies out? I read this is a Chinese phone, no longer in production, that they recast as being assembled in the US but is older technology. More a cover for the scam than an actual product.

Nine months after delivery was originally promised, NBC News received one of the first Trump Mobile review units and tested the device. The phone comes preloaded with Truth Social, features an American flag on the back with 11 stripes, and the box reads: “Proudly Assembled in the USA.” nbcnews.com/tech/gadgets/t…

@MacFarlaneNews He is first and foremost trump's personal attorney, put in place to benefit trump as opposed to the people of the United States. Weaponization like never before. We are all victims of this dysfunctional DOJ.

If @PeteHegseth is the SecDef at wartime, why was he out campaigning yesterday, violating the Hatch Act, and ignoring the quagmire war he helped create. In what world is this okay? I can't picture any SecDef in my lifetime being so unqualified and ignorant.

@JonLemire Cameras don't lie. He falls asleep, constantly. He is not getting sufficient sleep, choosing to repost and post social media at all hours of the night, often immature childish hate filled posts. He is not a well man.

Trump sits more for events now and sometimes, while in that chair, his eyes … begin … to … close. Trump’s aides have strenuously denied this. One recent retort: “He was blinking, you absolute moron” If true, this blink lasted for at least 10 seconds theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

Even taking more from 401Ks to offset the rise in daily costs has ramifications. Incomes go up, tax burdens go up, and,eligibility for income related tax breaks goes down. He lacks the understanding to do this. Stock performance is not an indicator of daily economic concern.

@realDonaldTrump is an uninformed imbecile. Even with higher stock prices helping 401Ks, that is money on paper. Most Americans, including those that take fixed withdrawals from retirement accounts, it has no bearing on the economic struggles we experience daily (inflation, gas).

This is a red alert. This is not to be taken lightly. The fact hate is so acceptable today, especially in the last two years, should shake all of us. But it does not. Why? We all must reject hate of all types axios.com/2026/05/18/ant…

@washingtonpost Nothing more than a white Christian nationalist rally. This has nothing to do about religious freedom, and instead wants what the founding fathers were deliberate not to have: a national official religion. Unless you are a specific type of Christian, your not being recognized.

A crowd of thousands transformed a block of the National Mall into an evangelical-style worship service at a White House-led, day-long prayer festival tied to the country’s 250th anniversary. wapo.st/4tEanKw

@washingtonpost So much for ethics and blind trusts. This reinforces that he is out for self enrichment and uses insider information. That is a crime that no one has the balls to pursue.

President Trump sold between $5 million and $25 million each of Microsoft and Amazon stock in February and purchased millions of dollars’ worth of the companies’ stock in March, according to disclosures filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. wapo.st/4drlT67
