the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class.

@BasedMikeLee Cc @JDVance

When you compare Trump to Hitler You encourage assassination attempts Stop it There’s *zero* legal or moral justification for violence against him I invite all Democrats to echo this message

From many Republicans, I hear that the government had nothing to do with the cancellation of Colbert's program. Okay, good. "Just regular ol' business." But the FCC chairman brags about the cancellation. And the White House circulates ... this. What are we supposed to think?

Iran’s official military spokesperson Ibrahim Al-Fiqar shared this AI-generated image of Donald Trump bowing before Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with the caption “The end..”

If Ebola becomes a pandemic, it will be in no small part because millions of people now view public health measures as oppression rather than the most basic infrastructure of a functioning and sustainable civilization.

@WhiteHouse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pathetic

🚨 "An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed..." - President Donald J. Trump

This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.

@RapidResponse47 @JaxsonDart @POTUS ewwwwwww

New York Giants QB @JaxsonDart introduces @POTUS in New York! 🔥🔥🔥

@piersmorgan He will be in the history books. You will not.

Farewell, Stephen Colbert. Very sharp and funny when playing characters on Daily Show and Colbert Report. Not so sharp or funny when he played himself on Late Show, and very dull/predictable after he caught TDS. Thought his finale was lame & self-indulgent.

Funny. I thought it was morally wrong for Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth more than $800 billion, to eliminate humanitarian aid that will cause 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet to die in the next 4 years.

@realDonaldTrump Wait til you see what we post on the day that IT happens!

🚨 A federal judge has dismissed the criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia for vindictive prosecution.

Pat Ryan on the War Powers vote: "These chickenhawk motherfuckers are gonna send us home for Memorial Day weekend where I'm gonna honor my veterans that I served 27 months in combat with and they're gonna not even give an up or down vote on continuing this war almost 3 months in while Americans are paying almost $5 at the pump. It is fucking pathetic when they use this procedural bullshit argument and every American should just be absolutely outraged about this, it is a disgrace" (Video: @EricMGarcia)

@axios Does a bank robber, "cash in?"

Trump is cashing in on the presidency like no president ever has axios.com/2026/05/22/tru…

Bruce Springsteen appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show tonight and COOKED Trump and his goons “I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke…. and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about”

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/adm…

GOP Vice Chair @RepBlakeMoore: "Our Republican priority will always be to put government ahead of Americans."

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

@RonBrownstein The fact that Trump and Republicans don’t seem to care about the average American’s opinion of what they are doing should frighten us all. What are they up to?

One of what will be many many examples of how easily Trump’s move to funnel taxpayer money to J6 rioters will fold into the core Democratic message for 2026

@GeraldoRivera Are you voting for every possible Democrat you can in the midterms? If not, you support all of this and want it to continue.

Giving taxpayer money to January 6 rioters is nauseating.
