We're all mocking the sweaty "Talarico is transgender" stuff from the right but it's notable that the actual campaign seems laser-focused on "Paxton is one of the most corrupt politicians in world history" They're just not going to play this stupid game. Good.
GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert: “I think Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Attorney General we've had in my lifetime.”

My team uncovered that foreign enemies are targeting U.S. servicemembers in war zones by buying their location data. The threat to national security posed by data brokers has never been more clear. We need to dismantle the surveillance advertising industry.
Scoop: Central Command is getting reports that military personnel are being targeted using commercially available location data. Few details available, but it’s a sign that the tech industry’s advertising-surveillance complex is having consequences on the battlefield. www.reuters.com/business/med...

The State Department supposedly sent $1.5 billion tax dollars to the Board of Peace slush fund, which is now empty.
“.. four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. ‘Zero dollars have been deposited,’ one said.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5ba3...

Wow, the Supreme Court's third and final decision is Hamm v. Smith, a case about the execution of mentally disabled people—but the court simply dismisses it as improvidently granted. Thomas and Alito dissent. Count this as a win—the 8th Amendment survives. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

seems like jared polis thought this would make him look like an enlightened and humane centrist instead of a dumbass
How bad is the Colorado governor's commutation of Tina Peters' sentence? So bad that even the Republican DA who prosecuted here pushed back, and told Polis to talk to the county officials who have to deal with threats that followed Peters' felonies. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

You sent yourself to war! You joined after the 2003 invasion of Iraq! Your parents didn't want you to join! You did it anyway!
We destroyed Iraq. We destroyed Afghanistan. And the people behind all that destruction, all that killing, the people who sent me to war are still in power. Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles from home.

Louisiana canceled its U.S. House primaries & just eliminated a NoLa office to erase a result. Still, elections tomorrow: ➡️ Trump wants revenge on Senator Cassidy ➡️ Measure to raise judges' retirement age ➡️ Measure that'd ease firings of public employees Details: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Alas, by an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court also clears the way for Texas to execute an intellectually disabled man in violation of the 8th Amendment. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

once again, just spitballing, what if we just provided for everyone's basic material needs
"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.
