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…

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@cspan notice how he assumes that the pope would be against border control? telling

Border czar Tom Homan, to question on Trump feud with Pope Leo XIV: "I'm speaking for myself, a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd stay out of immigration…If they understood the atrocities that happen on an open border, I think their opinion would change."

🔥 @RepRoKhanna to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

Professor Brian Cox explains using a simple light clock, time is not absolute. Because the speed of light remains constant, a light beam in a moving clock traces a longer, diagonal path from an outside observer's perspective, proving that moving clocks run slower and time literally bends to the speed of the observer. This reveals a mind-bending reality: if you journeyed through space at 99.94% the speed of light for ten years, you would return to an Earth that had aged 29 years; making you a literal time traveler into the future.

@BillSimmons one word: relegation

We really need two more NBA teams. And let’s stay at 82 games.

trump saying we move to a war economy to increase spending to $1.5 trillion is psychotic

@MaryPeltola go on…

Pass term limits. Ban congressional stock trading. Overturn Citizens United.

Arizona’s path to the Final Four: 🏀 16-seed Long Island - 34-point win 🏀 9-seed Utah State - 12-point win 🏀 4-seed Arkansas - 21-point win 🏀 2-seed Purdue - 15-point win The Aggies put up the best fight (so far)

@TrooperBenKs @jamestalarico Love this. Felt the same as you. Ya know, it’s this stupid platform. It has some great posted content like yours, but then you wander into the comment section and lose faith in humanity.

I’m frustrated this morning. I’m hurt. Last night I made a post about @jamestalarico and how the way he speaks, the way he explains things, and the way he talks about love and people has stirred something in me. Something real. Something I have not felt in a long time. It made me feel like my heart was moving a little closer toward God. Then the comments came. This morning I woke up to even more. If you could see some of the direct messages I’ve received… It’s sad. Truly sad. People calling me a communist. People telling me I’m wrong. People acting like my step toward faith only counts if it fits inside their beliefs, their politics, and their box. It’s not non believers doing this. It’s religious people. I have not seen a single message telling me to stay away from God. What I have seen are people telling me how I have to come to God if I want to be accepted. I was just being honest about what I was feeling. I said I felt like I had moved a little closer. Closer… Somehow even that did not feel acceptable. Instead of encouragement, I feel judged. Instead of grace, I feel corrected. Instead of being pulled closer, I feel pushed back. If someone says they feel a little closer to God, why would that not be met with kindness? Jesus is not a Democrat. Jesus is not a Republican. What keeps speaking to my heart is simple. ➡️ Love thy neighbor ⬅️ Some of you think you are defending faith. But what it feels like on this side is that you are pushing someone away who was taking a small step closer… That is where I am this morning. Frustrated.

@RepBlakeMoore @HouseBudgetGOP This is a bold idea and I like it from a pragmatic perspective. But we have no reason to believe Congress could actually pass a full budget. Y’all can’t even fund TSA without trying to give ICE more money, even though it is already excessively funded over the next two years

Within the next few years, 80% of our budget will not be voted on by Congress. That’s the track we’re on unless we pass my Comprehensive Congressional Budget Act. The only way to control our spending is to vote and decide what should be included each year. I’m proud to work with @AFPhq on this legislation.

McGovern: Stop the BS that somehow ICE is being defunded. $85 billion. That's what they have. Their normal budget is $10 billion a year. Only Republicans would say that somehow that's not enough
