Buttigieg on Sean Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable and then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually what people are so frustrated about."

“Every failed deal, every summit that yields nothing, every boast that goes unfulfilled, confirms what adversaries already suspect. A lame-duck superpower exhausts itself in full view of the world, and the world moves on” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…

Pete Buttigieg to CNN just now.. about Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's controversial road trip reality show "I love road trips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about seven months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different"

I was followed by Russians at the Venice Biennale after speaking to artists critical of Moscow. This is what happens when Europe invites war criminals to their events. You get mafia behaviour.

They told you the real threat was the guy sweating on your roof in July, or the woman wiping your grandma’s chin for 10 bucks an hour. And you bought it. You waved the flag chanted “USA!” , while they took your healthcare, kid’s lunch destroyed your farms to give billions to themselves. You got conned. They dangled fear like a shiny object, “the border, the migrants, the brown folks taking jobs you never wanted”, while behind your back, they picked your pocket and left your kid holding the bill for generations to come. You lose your Medicaid. Your VA clinics and hospitals shut down. Your grandma gets pushed to the sidewalk with an oxygen tank. But hey, no migrants working jobs you wouldn't do, huh? What a deal. It's a conman's trick, you know, and you're the mark. You traded your & and your kid's future for a wall that didn’t get built and a promise that only delivered to billionaires while bankrupting our nation. This ain’t “America First.” It never was. It’s fear first, cruelty second, and you dead last. Now they're taking your rights. This November election is it. Let's hope you wake up before it's too late.

That 500,000 "fake" mail ballots appeared in Maryland. They never did. No election board, no court, no investigator has found anything close to that , just the same old election‑fraud nonsense built on junk math and lies. Meanwhile, the same guy screaming about "crooked mail-in voting" votes by mail himself. And his party keeps pushing unlawful gerrymandered districts, voter roll purges, fewer polling places in heavily minority areas, and stricter voting rules that somehow always seem to hit hard working people, students, and minorities the hardest. Because they're afraid to lose the congress in a fair election. Because he is afraid of you. Yet, they always dangle the fear like a shiny object, "fraud, illegal voters, fake ballots", it's all garbage lies. Now they want to restrict mail voting, criminalize registration mistakes, and make it easier to overturn results they don’t like. That's the only reason. This was never about "saving America." It’s about protecting one man who openly said he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial struggles while enriching himself in office. He has tripled his wealth in a year. Hope people wake up before November.

$15M for painting the Lincoln Reflecting Pool electric-blue. $100M for a giant Arch named after Trump. $1B for Trump’s ballroom. If this administration is interested in rooting out government waste, they can take a look at Trump's taxpayer-funded vanity projects.

If Donald Trump tries to confirm a Supreme Court justice in his final two years, Senate Democrats must follow The McConnell Rule™

A reminder that people who claim MAGA has turned on Trump, or that the GOP base is divided, etc etc are heavily exaggerating and/or don't know what they're talking about. It's a cult. Most of them always do what their Dear Leader tells them to.

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying." nytimes.com/2026/05/15/us/…

It is batshit nuts for the US to walk away from Europe right now. — @MarkCMontgomery, Senior Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies @FDD #LennartMeriConference

Footnote: Tillis’ vote to confirm Hegseth as defense secretary brought the tally to a 50–50 deadlock after R senators Collins, McConnell and Murkowski joined Dems in opposing him. His vote allowed VP Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote, confirming Hegseth.

Vance is a very bad leader and an even worse human being. This is the rhetoric of someone who hates the United States and Americans.

@jaredpolis You and your family will be remembered for kowtowing to Trump. Tina was found guilty. End of. Shame on you.

Welcome to the Democratic Party! The broad tent majority party of freedom, the rule of law, limited government, and protecting all of our constitutional rights!

Attorney General Phil Weiser released the following statement regarding the governor commuting the sentence of convicted former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters: bit.ly/497GM54

Charlie Angus on impact of Canadian boycott of US travel: "Many tourist locations are talking about drops of 50% ... There's areas where the losses have been as high as 80%. We're not bragging as Canadians. We're doing something to defend our sovereignty and put the pressure on MAGA."

With the news that @GovofCO just granted clemency to Tina Peters, justice has been once again perverted, and this time by a DEMOCRAT desperate for Donald Trumps adoration. Congrats Jared Polis. I bet you get invited to the WH now

Republicans support sending guns in the mail but what about mail-in ballots? @BrendanHartnett went to Capitol Hill to ask some of them.

ICYMI: He’s just gonna build the arch no matter what it seems.
