Per @HoustonChron, ICE spends $1,125 per person per day detaining people at Dilley. That means ICE charged taxpayers $2,187,000 to detain the El Gamal family (5 kids + mom) for 324 days!

.@RepRaskin: "“This is not his first slush fund. The Board of Peace is nothing but a global slush fund for Donald Trump. He took $1.5 billion from the State Department. That was money that was set aside for disaster relief around the world. He gave it to the Board of Peace. He took a billion from the Saudis. He took a billion from the UAE, took a billion from the Qataris.”

How tf did this nut get so close?! Love that Victor was looking to protect Christina and almost let that man know what time it is.

Springsteen on Colbert: "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…

How ironic that white men are lining up to get reparations but claim Black people are looking for a handout.

@metroadlib Never in 24 years of living in DC have I been on that bridge because it is so scary!

WOW.

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

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

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that the Treasury Department has made to the DOJ to implement it. ms.now/rachel-maddow-…

For three years, there were more job openings than unemployed workers — at peak, 2 jobs per job-seeker.

That has now flipped under Trump, and unemployed workers outnumber available jobs for the first time since the pandemic. My @Morning_Joe Chart:

The slush fund. The ballroom. The IRS get-out-of-jail-free card. Donald Trump isn’t serving the American people — he’s serving himself. And he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.

A homage to Althea Gibson, on this 70th anniversary of her French Championship at Roland Garros, where she became the first black athlete in tennis history to win a Grand Slam tournament. It would be the 1st of her 11 Tennis Slams (5 Singles, 5 Doubles, 1 Mixed) between 1956-1958

Ana Navarro: “Trump put out a fat meme attacking JB Pritzker. Fat memes are a pretty infantile thing to do, but particularly for Donald Trump. A guy who has no waistline, a guy whose ass deserves it’s own zip code”
