When Trump removed US Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her position, she was given 3 hours notice to vacate Quarter 1, the Coast Guard Commandant’s waterfront residence — where Kristi Noem continues to live rent free despite being fired 2 months ago.

And of course it’s the fifth circuit that decides for women everywhere in the country, Mifepristone no longer available unless you can pick it up in person. Reminder: in Dobbs, the court said this should be up to each state. That’s not what this does. washingtonpost.com/health/2026/05…

This is Mutobo, the Silverback Gorilla. He is dismantling a poachers snare. Gorillas have not only learned to recognize traps, but have begun to disarm them as well to keep others safe.

Donald Trump has nearly tripled his net worth since being elected president a second time. The Trump family is also taking in billions from foreign governments and profiting off of the presidency itself, violating the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. trib.al/F4xn71Q

A CNN investigation reveals a majority of U.S. military sites in the Middle East are damaged by Iranian strikes. @tamaraqiblawi’s report:

The U.S Navy has confirmed that the MQ-4C unmanned Triton Drone which costs $240 million dollars crashed in the Persian Gulf near the Straits of Hormuz in what the Navy calls a Class A Mishap.This alleged mishap is under investigation,but there’s still been no outcome yet.

🔥 @SenBlumenthal to Trump’s federal judge picks: “You’re unwilling to say Biden won the election. Clearly you’ve been rehearsed... you’re afraid. Of what? Trump?… we need jurists who are fearless and strong, not weak and pathetic.”

After six months and nearly 1,000 cases, the South Carolina measles outbreak is officially over. How'd they do it? "Measles vaccinations were the most effective single containment tool." abcnews.com/Health/after-1…

Senator Blumenthal was questioning a Judicial nominee who was reluctant to say that Biden won the 2020 election and all of the sudden you hear Senate Judiciary chair Chuck Grassley caught on a hot mic asking why Republican nominees won’t say Biden Won! We all know? It .

J. D. Vance appeared on Fox News and dismissed The Atlantic’s reporting on him—and then quickly confirmed that it was true, @GrahamDavidA argues in The Atlantic Daily. theatlantic.com/newsletters/20…

BREAKING: Donald Trump says he’ll “probably” withdraw US troops from Italy in addition to Germany. “Why shouldn’t I? Italy has not been of any help to us,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. Pure coincidence this lines up perfectly with Vladimir Putin’s priorities

Trump pulling 5000 American troops from Germany right after talking to Putin is no coincidence. It is a massive strategic blow that heavily weakens US force projection across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. He is outright sabotaging the US

2022: “Stop overreacting, they won’t overturn Roe.” They did. 2023: “Stop overreacting, they won’t let women die rather than get an abortion.” They did. 2024: “Stop overreacting, they won’t arrest women for miscarriages.” They did. 2025: “Stop overreacting, they won’t turn women into incubators.” They did. 2026: “Stop overreacting, they won’t attack mifepristone.” They did, today. Now: “Stop overreacting, they won’t go after birth control next.” They will.

The Voting Rights Act “has not been dealt a ‘blow’” by the Supreme Court, Vann R. Newkirk II argues. “The law is dead, and no matter what happens in the coming elections, politics in America has been forever changed.” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…

Under the most recent National Defense Act, Trump can't withdraw troops from Europe unless the commander of our forces there independently certifies to Congress that it won't hurt deterrence against Russia or US ops in the Middle East & that allies have been consulted. 1/

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

Best analysis I've read on the Roberts Court destroying the Voting Rights Act and the decision's racist implications. A powerful opening connecting it with the deceptive use of "colorblindness." Thanks to @AdamSerwer Gift Link theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

The #SupremeCourt said eff you to Stare decisis a while ago. Why is anyone surprised? All was lost when Mitch stole the rightful nomination of Barack Obama in 2016…that showed me there was nothing they wouldn’t do to get what they wanted. I’m also displeased RBG didn’t retire.

.@LeahLitman, yes!!! “Justice ‘Jim Crow’ Alito” is absolutely right!! @TheBeatWithAri
