Going to have to pin these brilliant analogies.

Politics doesn’t have to feel like something punching you in the face every time you check the news. We can come together around big, common-sense ideas that most Americans agree on. That’s the kind of campaign @JamieAgerNC is building - and why I was proud to join him on the trail in western North Carolina.

Donald Trump Jr takes a financial stake in a company… 3 months later, the Pentagon gives it $620 million… after Trump’s White House told them to… And the company’s valuation rose from $200 million to $2 billion as a result. This is corruption. propublica.org/article/donald…

Among the things I like about @PeteButtigieg is that he seems to actually like people.

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son secretly received a top job inside the Trump administration while Alito was ruling on massive cases involving the White House. This is corruption, nepotism, and in-kind bribery all wrapped up in one... Philip Alito, the son of far-right Justice Samuel Alito, was given an appointment as a lawyer at the Treasury Department early on in Trump's second term. His father was aware of the appointment and did nothing to block it, unsurprising since Alito has zero interest in avoiding conflicts of interest or maintaining the legitimacy of the court. This is the same Samuel Alito who was caught accepting bribes from billionaire Paul Singer in the form of luxury jet travel and an expensive fishing vacation. And that's just what we know about. According to NOTUS, four government officials confirmed that Alito's son is working inside the office of the general counsel, which supports Treasury Secretary Bessent. Notus described the arrangement as a "closely guarded secret." Philip Alito, in an apparent effort to maintain a low profile, does not have a public resume, LinkedIn profile, or a presence on the Treasury Department. Most of the images available of him online are older, from when his father was first appointed to the court. He's a ghost in the system, getting paid by our tax dollars, and presumably whispering in his father's ear to tilt rulings in Trump's favor. “Everybody knew who he was. I think it’s fair to say he kept a pretty low profile. I kind of had the impression that he was kind of a little bit sheepish about his celebrity affiliation. You’d go into a meeting and if people were introducing themselves by first and last name, he’d just say ‘Phil,’ not Phil Alito. He’s a pretty soft-spoken guy,” one official stated. The efforts to keep his identity shielded from not only the public, but his co-workers, proves that he knows what he's doing is deeply improper. If there was nothing to hide, he wouldn't need to keep his head down. But Alito, and presumably his father, know that this appointment further damages what little credibility the Supreme Court has left. “There’s no doubt he got that position because of who he is,” another official told NOTUS. “[Advisers] are in all the meetings, so they knew all the issues across the board.” Damningly, the younger Alito was working his Treasury job when the court ruled on Trump's tariffs. While the administration was ultimately defeated, Justice Alito joined with Brett Kavanaugh to rule in favor of Trump. At no point in the process did he disclose in court documents that his son was working for one side, nor did he recuse himself. The administration is insisting that the younger Alito had no role in the case, but this White House lies through its teeth at every turn. And the problem hasn't diminished in the slightest. Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists, MAGA loyalist, and Republican child molesters is getting hammered by lawsuits right now. When one of these cases inevitably ends up in front of the Supreme Court, Justice Alito will once again be ruling on a case in which his son has a vested interest in a particular outcome. These crooks are laughing in our faces as they line their pockets, rig the system, and set their children up to do the same for the next generation. Phillip Alito must be fired and Samuel Alito must be impeached! Please ❤️ and share to demand that the proverbial heads start rolling!

The DFL is profoundly shaken and devastated by the horrific shooting today at the Canterbury Park Expo Center. This senseless act of violence occurred during a sacred prayer service — a time meant for peace, reflection, and community — leaving one person fatally wounded. Our hearts are with the victim, their family, and the entire community traumatized by this tragedy. We stand in absolute solidarity with Minnesota’s Muslim community during this dark hour. This attack is part of a deeply alarming national rise in threats and violence targeting mosques and other religious institutions. We stand in solidarity against this violence and remain committed to ensuring the safety of all Minnesotans.

Yay! Here's the video of Pete Buttigieg speaking at the Mackinac Policy Conference yesterday: youtube.com/live/H_xkbDrtw… It starts at around 2:47:00. Even though it's 40 minutes, Pete is so good that it flies by.

Americans' personal savings rate just plummeted from 5.5% in 2025 to only 2.6% in 2026. The shocking drop shows Americans are depleting their savings as they struggle to keep up with rising prices.

BREAKING: Look at this. $DELL just won a five-year $9.7 billion Pentagon software agreement for the US military. But Trump also bought $DELL. He bought multiple times since February 10th, up to more than $5,000,000. On May 8th, he said: "Go out and buy a Dell." Unusual.

Newsmax: Why are college kids booing AI during graduation ceremonies? Me: Because they did everything society told them to do — took on debt, got the degree, worked their asses off — and now they’re graduating into a brutal job market while billionaires openly brag about replacing human labor with AI and robotics. Honestly, I don’t blame them for being angry.

I don’t think we have a functioning CDC anymore—RFK Jr’s CDC is now asking volunteers to goto airports to screen passengers for Ebola… to stand in line at airports to look for sick people… unpaid.

The GOP knows Paxton is a scummy, dangerous politician and now they are going to support him anyways, because Trump supported him. Had enough of this yet?

U.S. Army veteran Jon Gundersen on Trump's Arc: "This is not a monument to veterans. This is a monument to the ego of one man…It's disrespectful for veterans. It's not the way to honor veterans. So we decided to do a lawsuit."

If Governor DeSantis thinks that shutting down “Alligator Alcatraz” will erase the corruption and suffering in the Everglades, he’s wrong. He used over $1 billion in taxpayer money to cage and kidnap our neighbors. We will not forget and I will keep fighting for accountability.
