Trump has put himself between a rock and a hard place. Whether he retaliates or not, oil prices will escalate before the election. Plus, he'll surely rage when Big Oil announces another quarter of record-breaking profits just days ahead of midterms.

This is outrageous. Will this finally shake Congress and corporate leaders out of their Trump appeasement trance to save democracy? Putin should be banned from ever setting foot at the G-20 Summit.

White House ordered Starshield throttle. Trump is willfully enabling death and destruction in Ukraine. Congress stands neutered and complicit.

It's high time for noble Americans to rescue our country from the madness of Trump and MAGA Inc.

Ukraine taking out Russian bot farms: Russian propaganda machine severely hampered before US midterms; GOP candidates losing messaging support system across social platforms; Elon losing millions of "subscribers" before next lockup period expires, Q3 earnings. Delicious.

It's another grift. Follow the money.

"The company didn't know until recently." Yet, Trump thinks they will self-regulate.

Communist China media allowed in the White House. US media, despite the First Amendment of the US Constitution, are barred by the US President.

No POTUS TV pool coverage will burst Trump's hot air balloon. Ted Boutrous, one of the very best First Amendment lawyers, to represent CNN, MS NOW and Politico in lawsuit.

Someone explain this to me: Trump's Iran war is supposedly saving us from nuclear catastrophe. Yet, he's calling AI fears a hoax. The same AI that without guardrails could set off nuclear war around the globe. WTF?!

72 out of 260 days. Mike Johnson's Congress has been in session for only 72 days in 2026. Because the GOP refuses to do the job their voters elected them to do. While they cower and crater before Trump. And while they're paid for failing to work, millions struggle 24/7 to stay afloat.

Trump's Golden Age of America.

$7 gallon for diesel in Michigan, Minnesota, Montana... Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska ... Trump'$ contribution to Dem Senate candidates.

The warning came in July. Trump ignored it.

He's a pathetic sociopath. A sniveling coward. A lying freak. He wasn't there. Not during the attack, not after.

How long before Bari Weiss signs disgraced Maria Bartiromo to a CBS News contract?

Trump's tired "look over here" move: Announce illegitimate Venezuela pipe-dream deal to replenish SPR reserves he's squandered with his epic Iran war folly.

Remember the shadowy figure Trump and Rubio appointed to manage ill-gotten Venezuelan oil wealth? Well, now they're investing US-taxpayer dollars into his privately-owned Venezuelan company. This deal is built on lies upon lies. Corruption on top of corruption.

Dolly. Singing with other angels.

Of course the immoral, incompetent Hegseth fired the Stars and Stripes editor and truth-telling reporters. Because as Colonel Jessep shouted, Hegseth can't handle the truth.

The heroes among us, lost and living. Honor them by knowing their stories. **** Kevin Dowdell, a lieutenant in an elite FDNY rescue unit, taught his sons to take action, to never be bystanders, Sally Jenkins writes. When he disappeared on 9/11, they went to Ground Zero to search for him.

Not good, folks.

"The (mob) boss wants this money." Why should corporations support ESG projects when they can instead give millions to the Trump Crime Syndicate?

Worsening energy crisis will drive gas, goods and food prices even higher. Strait of Hormuz and now Bab-al-Mandab closed because of Trump's failing war in Iran. SPR at dangerously low levels. And now millions of barrels of Kazakhstan crude shut-in because of Putin's failing war in Ukraine.

150 medics. More American casualties and injuries expected from Trump's epic folly in Iran.

Rather than use a primetime address to tell Americans what he's doing to bring down the cost of groceries, gasoline, electricity, housing, and healthcare, and end his failing war with Iran, Trump will spout lies about the 2020 election he lost. Gaslighting Americans for the 1000th time.

Say what you want about CNN, but Americans cannot abide the Trump-proxies Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss de-truthing the network. This deal needs to be blocked.

While the most unbound and corrupt man holds the presidency, SCOTUS rules it's A-OK.

I so hope Obama gives the speech of his life tomorrow. He has the opportunity to lift Americans' spirits, remind us who we are, what we stand for, and all we've fought for over 250 years.

On a day when tech is dominating the conversation, let's remember the color, beauty and wonder of David Hockney's imagination.

Trump isn't listening, he doesn't care.

Truth. Please share.

If you thought Tulsi was an unqualified, dangerous Trump toady, you haven't met Billy.

With her decision to fire highly regarded editors, producers and correspondents, Bari Weiss has officially ruined 60 Minutes, the gold standard in television news reporting.

Y'all, @joshuarush.bsky.social is now Press Secretary for @jamestalarico.bsky.social Give them both a follow if you're not JamesTalarico.com

Bravo, judges.

One of my favorite (and best) artistic commentators tells it like it is.

Of course he does. Because when you've got a criminal in the White House, why not add another to the Senate. GOP is just another word for coward.

Texas GOPers overwhelming elected a lying, cheating criminal as their Senate candidate. Because a lying, cheating criminal told them to. Vote Talarico.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

Trump breaking the law - again - to avoid paying up to $100 million he owes in back taxes. And absolves him from any future tax fraud investigations.
