Phang: This means we’re going to get these handwritten FBI interview notes from four interviews conducted with this victim who alleges she was abused by Donald Trump.

Again and again, Russia kills the people and destroys the cultural sites it says it went to war to protect. These crimes will end when the US supplies missile defense to Ukraine and enforces sanctions on Russian energy. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The White House Epstein Files cover up goes all the way to VP JD Vance, Susie Wiles, and Kash Patel. It’s time to bring these people in front of our committee. We won’t stop until we get justice for survivors.

Someone should tell the USPS that an executive order does not have the force of law and must not be used to violate state and individual rights.

One thing the NY Times article makes clear: Trump lead a massive, government wide effort to cover up the Epstein files because he knew he would be heavily implicated by them.

President Trump is trying to downsize the U.S Forest Service and eliminate wildfire and smoke research as the American West is facing a potentially epic summer fire season. n.pr/4us6kSh

trump is running up the national credit card and soon we're gonna be hearing about how dems have no choice but to "tighten our belts." so i thank @sereneblossom.gay for this exercise in working through *just how much* money we could raise by cutting out all the bullshit the rich use to dodge taxes

Of course.

Federal judge orders that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts remove Trump’s name from the building’s facade and all official branding, finding that the board’s decision to do so was unlawful. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Unanimous three-judge appeals court panel (including two Trump appointees) STRIKES DOWN "intentionally racially discriminatory" redistricting. But the next question is, will the compromised six-justice majority of the US Supreme Court, APPROVE "intentionally racially discriminatory" redistricting?

State Rep Justin J Pearson’s (D-Memphis) response to Farmer was magnificent. It was brilliant. It was inspirational. 💙

Former DOJ pardon attorney @lawyeroyer.com on potential Trump IRS heist: “This is like a bank heist if, you know, the teller, the bank teller’s in on it, the security guard at the door is also in on it. Everybody is conspiring to steal money from the bank.”

“When Republicans strip Black people’s political power away, it doesn’t just strip one community of power. It strips political power from every single middle and working class person and hands it over to billionaires and big corporations.”

"England...is doing America an uncomfortable favor this week...illuminating two weaknesses in the American system at once: those in power protect their own, and the mechanism designed to punish them for it — elections — has been quietly dismantled." substack.com/@johnfdicker...

It’s 2026, in Oklahoma has finally made child marriage illegal. Congratulations? Also WTF.

On this day in 1946, Claudia Goldin was born. In 2023, she became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics. In 2026, she helped the players’ union for the Women’s National Basketball Association negotiate a nearly 400% raise by demonstrating that the women were woefully underpaid. #WeTheMen

How long will the Republican Party and corporate media pretend that Donald Trump is not a deranged monster who endangers us all? Their failure to act is a crime against humanity.

This is basically harassment of scholars willing to question the Trump administration’s targeting of Chinese colleagues. Innes already had the FBI investigate his lab and was given the all clear. Now USDA is shutting down the Lab, which focuses on making fungus-resistant plants.

I'm demanding that the $1 billion for Trump's ballroom be immediately directed to tariff relief for working families and small businesses. It’s time to put working families ahead of Trump’s ego.

Katie Phang visits the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, an exhibition that displays the 3,437 volumes of The Epstein Files. “Each of them weighs about 5 lb. … 3.5 million files bound into 800-page volumes. Altogether, it weighs about 17,000 lb.”

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The Opus Dei Court is reversing the civil rights movement and trying to overturn democracy. What can be done about it?

Another really long day. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how to fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Today, the right-wing Supreme Court supermajority finished what it started over a decade ago – in Justice Kagan’s words, “a judicial project to destroy the Voting Rights Act.”

Enten: "These are the worst numbers I've ever seen for any president on inflation. Trump is 49 points underwater. Biden -- inflation absolutely crushed his presidency -- but at his worst he was only 43 points underwater. Trump is in a worse position on inflation than Jimmy Carter was!"

Jacobs to Hegseth: "On Easter Sunday, Trump threatened to destroy Iran's bridges & power plants, writing, 'Open the fuckin strait you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell.' My office phone has been ringing off the hook with military families concerned about the president's mental fitness."

A Supreme Court where 5 of 6 conservative justices appointed by GOP presidents who initially lost popular vote & confirmed by senators elected by minority of Americans just effectively killed Voting Rights Act, country’s most important civil rights law. This is not democracy

Keating to Hegseth on the administration's rationale for its deadly boat strikes: "We were given classified information on the second strike. I can't discuss it. But it's the most convoluted bullshit I've ever heard in my life."

Former FBI agent Dan Brunner: From what we saw, the suspect wasn’t even close to breaching security. He still would have had to go down two flights of stairs and get through additional secured doors. He didn’t even reach the magnetometers before being stopped.

RFK Jr. was pressed on Capitol Hill over the measles surge. More than 1,700 cases already in 2026—a 675% increase. He dismissed it as a “global outbreak" and called criticism "partisan." But for many families, this isn't politics. It's real life. New from ELLA on MeidasTouch.

Americans really need to come to the conclusion that Fox in its entirety must be wiped out of existence.

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

1. The AI industry has tapped Taylor Budowich, a key operative in the effort to undermine the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, to lead a new group dedicated to boosting GOP candidates in the 2026 midterms. The group is reportedly planning to spend $100 million.

Ending citizens united needs to be a top policy initiative

"The Innovation Council is currently organized as a nonprofit, so it is not required to disclose its donors" It's still incredible that it is possible in this country to inject large sums into politics while staying in the shadows.

4. In a text exchange with Caroline Wren, who was also involved in “Stop the Steal” organizing, Budowich said that Trump needed to “end his speech [outside the White House on January 6, 2021] by saying something like ‘Now go march on the capital [sic]. march to save America.’”

3. Budowich directed over $200,000 for radio and social media advertisements to build the crowd on January 6, 2021. The money was funneled through a dark-money nonprofit. Budowich sued the Congressional committee investigating the Jan 6 attack to keep the identity of the donor secret.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.
