Journalist Jim Acosta noticed that there are two staging areas in the traffic circle right across from the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery which looks like Trump is going to start construction of his Arch without approval from Congress & no work is being done to the pool

Thomas Massie: “The force of the whole swamp has come down on me.” “It’s three billionaires.” “They’re hedge fund managers and gambling magnates.” “They’re upset that I’ve never voted for foreign aid.” “Particularly foreign aid to Israel.” “And they’re upset that I vote against the wars.” “These billionaires are funding a super PAC called MAGA Kentucky.” “They are not MAGA, and they have never been to Kentucky.” “There will be $6 million spent this week on TV and radio and mail.” “Fox News, they’ve got a monopoly on the screens in a lot of Republican houses, particularly people between the ages of 65 and 75.” “For the last 18 months, they’ve not invited me on a single show.” “They have blacklisted me.” “I can’t get on TVs in the living rooms of the people that vote in this election unless I can buy TV ads.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY

The most corrupt administration of all time.

Thomas Massie is a man of character. He is the type of Congressman our founders envisioned. I hope his constituents will see the courage, independence and sincere love of country he brings to the job. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/opi… via @NYTOpinion

They are counting on us not paying attention.

There’s actually a chance the president could be elected by the popular vote in 2028 instead of the fundamentally undemocratic Electoral College. Watch:

Q: What was it that made you break with Trump? Trump voter: Just seeing the lies. He put us in a war. He's putting up gold statues of himself. When are people going to wake up? All those stupid rallies I went to... I got rid of my Make America Great Again hat. I can't even believe I wore that hat.

🟥 When President Xi of China said today that the international situation is turbulent, and wondered out loud whether China and the US could overcome the “Thucydides Trap” and create a new paradigm to meet global challenges together, Trump nodded like a dysfunctional bobble head, clearly CLUELESS about the term being referenced. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Donald probably thought it was a Greek dessert... 🙄 The Thucydides Trap describes the DANGEROUS structural tension that occurs when a rapidly rising power (in this case China) threatens to displace an established ruling power (the USA), typically leading to heightened rivalry and risk of conflict. It was a jab, and a warning. 🥊 Nobody respects the USA anymore. Trump's failure and damage to America's influence, is dangerously immense.

funny, xi didn’t mention he was talking about biden when he spoke of the united states as a declining nation.

Trump voter: I apologize to all of America. I was a diehard Republican. I cannot believe I drank the Kool-Aid of Donald J. Trump. This man is ruining the Constitution of the United States. They're taking away the vote from the Black man. You see all the corruption, the lies that come out of this man's mouth.

China and Iran team up to humiliate Trump—while he’s in Beijing. “As Trump meets Xi, Iran lets Chinese ships through the Strait of Hormuz.” nytimes.com/2026/05/14/wor…

President Trump is set to begin critical talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, even as the Iran war threatens to overshadow the visit. "You have a President who's thinking short term, Xi is thinking long term," says former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel.

Trump: Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States all combined. That's a pretty big statement.

#BREAKING: Hayes: “…it is hard dear viewer, to keep track of the very very long list of shady deals, and no bid contracts and outright corrupt crypto schemes that have been the hallmark of the presidency of Donald Trump…but I ask you tonight, to pay attention to the one he appears to be about to pull off, because it’s got to be the greatest HEIST in American history. A direct transfer of BILLIONS of YOUR taxpayer dollars directly into the bank account and the pockets of Donald Trump all dressed up as a settlement of a lawsuit in which Donald Trump is BOTH the plaintiff and also the defendant. It would be a maneuver that could nearly TRIPLE his net worth.”🤦‍♀️

reminder that Trump's hand looks like this every time he appears in public these days and we have never received a plausible explanation as to why (Alex Wong/Getty)

"The path to curing pediatric cancers is closing. Not because we have run out of ideas or new treatments to try, but because the Trump administration made a choice to cut funding for pediatric cancer research and undermine the institutions that once made America the envy of the world when it came to health innovation." nytimes.com/2026/05/13/opi…

"Taxpayers are footing a whopping $1 billion bill for Trump's ballroom. Your budget cuts the National Park Service by $1 billion. If you put this $1 billion towards our national parks instead of Trump's ballroom, that would benefit every single American."

Since 1893, Princeton professors have left the room when students take their final exams. The idea was that if you treat students honorably, they would behave honorably. In response to AI-fueled academic dishonesty, the university just ended that system. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…

U.S. household debt, including mortgages, credit cards, auto loans and student loans, reached an all-time high of $18.8 trillion in the first three months of the year, according to new data released on Tuesday from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. abcnews.link/56t2BxY
