@TheRickWilson @0liviajulianna People really need to be calling their Representatives and Senators. Not enough people are calling. I was able to get through to mine on the first call today. That hasn’t happened since before 2024.

Even. Tommy. Fucking. Tuberville.

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…

MacFarlane: Here's the first sign that you have an indefensible idea. You have to pervasively put out false information to defend that idea. The critics of the January 6th prosecutions have alleged it was a Biden launched weaponization. It was Donald Trump's first term in which those prosecutions were launched. It was Trump's department of justice that did so. They called themselves victims of weaponized prosecutions. That assumes that every single grand juror and every single trial juror, hundreds of people were all in on this, which is a preposterous notion.

Trump's budget calls for billions in cuts to lifesaving research, but a $1.5 trillion war budget. I asked Trump's NIH Director how he could justify a budget that puts defense contractors ahead of cancer research. He couldn't. I’m throwing Trump’s budget in the trash.

National debt is barreling towards $40 trillion. 27% of this debt occurred under Donald Trump, despite him only being President for 2% of American history. Republicans are terrible for the economy.

Sen. @brianschatz: Gas is at $4.55 nationally. Food prices are rising at the fastest rate in years. Electricity is through the roof. Millions of people are losing healthcare. Hospitals are closing. Housing is unaffordable for many people, and everything costs more because of tariffs. But there is apparently enough money for a ballroom, to quadruple the size of ICE, and to spend a billion dollars a day on a war of choice.

Warehouse in Surprise Arizona valued at 12 million sold to HS for 70 million. Another in Social Circle, Georgia valued at 30 million and sold to HS for 130 million. One in Roxbury New Jersey valued at 54 million and sold for 129 million. Tremont PA worth 60 million and sold for 120 million dollars. Salt Lake City 90 million sold for 145 million. I’d like to see where the money went and how much people in the Trump administration got paid in kickbacks. On just 5 warehouses our government overpaid by 348 million dollars. Kristi Noem should be in prison and we should stop sending taxes to the federal government. They can no longer be trusted with our money.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

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

SICKENING: AOC Just showed off the Georgia drinking water from Meta's AI Data Centers. Thank you @AOC: "This is the current drinking water in Morgan County, Georgia. Right after a data center was constructed, the metadata center was constructed, the only difference between the clean water and this was that data center. I have another one as well. So this wasn't just one well, these wasn't just one family's situation. This is what the drinking water now looks like next to that data center. And I think both of us can agree that neither one of these things are drinkable. These families now have to ship, in a rural area, have to ship water to their house in order to cook and bathe themselves."

This is true. We're still waiting for promised funds to remove debris and rebuild.

🚨Last night in House Appropriations, all Republicans present voted to allow THEMSELVES to get settlements from the January 6th Slush Fund. I am not making this up.

MAGA, yall ok with this? Trump’s DOJ just barred the government from ever investigating Trump, his family, or any of his businesses for any of the crimes that could have been charged in this case. So much for no one is above the law, huh?

BOMBSHELL CONFIRMED: The Supreme Court corruption scandal that was lingering from a year ago? We can now call it CONFIRMED today. Chief Justice John Roberts' wife pocketed $10.3 million recruiting for law firms with cases before his court. He illegally labeled it "salary" instead of commission on disclosure forms. Justice Clarence Thomas took $500,000+ luxury yacht trips, $133,000 real estate deals, and decades of private jet vacations from billionaire Harlan Crow—all hidden from the public. Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a $1.8 million property to the CEO of Greenberg Traurig—a law firm with 22 cases before the Court—just nine days after his confirmation. He left the buyer's name BLANK on his disclosure forms. Republicans: "The Supreme Court is impartial!" The Supreme Court: a billionaire-funded cash register. Three justices. Three scandals. Tens of millions in hidden money and favors. This isn't a court. It's a corruption convention with robes. Tell me again why we should trust these people with our rights?

Half the GOP is saying Israel rigged the vote against Massie and the other half is celebrating the fact that the guy who wants to hold pedophiles accountable lost. Totally normal party.

WTF!

BREAKING: The Trump administration’s EPA has proposed repealing Biden-era drinking water limits on four PFAS “forever chemicals” 1) GenX 2) PFHxS 3) PFNA 4) PFBS These chemicals are associated with: - Kidney cancer - Testicular cancer - Liver damage - Immune system suppression - Reduced vaccine effectiveness - Elevated cholesterol - Thyroid disease/disruption - Hormone disruption - Kidney damage - Fertility problems - Preeclampsia - Lower birth weight - Developmental delays in children - Increased infection risk - Metabolic disorders - Cardiovascular disease risk - Fatty liver disease - Possible endocrine disorders - Potential increased risk of certain other cancers Is this MAHA?

Lindsey Graham accused Republicans who support the full release of the Epstein files of trying to destroy Trump, which is an admission that the full Epstein files would destroy the president..
