Yes, they were. We were. In the Orwellian way — the courage to see the absolutely obvious. But the most important way they were right was in the insistence on speaking out, on showing up, on organizing. (1/2)

after 8 failed rounds of IVF, a California couple decided to use a surrogate -- transferring their embryo into another's uterus rightwing lawyers are now helping the surrogate sue the couple for physical & legal custody of the baby, claiming she's the Real mother ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This is such a bad move. If you give MAGA the choice between a MAGA man running for office and a Dem trying to play MAGA-lite, they’ll go for the legit fascist, not the discount version. Dems trying to go right NEVER brings MAGA to them, but it alienates Dems who won’t bother showing up for this.

Men, we just want you to listen to us!

Just a reminder that there's a Will Shakespeare miniseries from the heyday of BBC historicals starring Tim Curry as Shakespeare and Ian McShane as Marlowe, and it's on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpxC...

NBC: “This new U.N.-commissioned report carried out by a committee of independent experts says Israeli troops deliberately shot at Palestinian children and carried out genocide and war crimes… over 21,000 children died.”

Reuters is reporting that the Moscow Refinery has been forced to halt all operations and will not be operational again until 2027. This is a huge loss for Russia.

First Trump said the ballroom would cost $200 million & he was paying. Then he said $250 M & donors would pay. Then $300 M. Then $350 M. Then $400 M. Now it’s at $600 M with $300 M from taxpayers. And counting.

Rubio then follows this up by claiming he thinks Jared is negotiating for the supposed end to the Iran war "out of the goodness of his heart." Can't wait for the next NY Times piece claiming that Rubio was the adult in the room during the Trump admin.

A reminder that DOJ has sued 30 states for access to their sensitive voter files. DOJ is currently 0-8 in decided cases. This is what I mean when I say the future of democracy is on the docket. www.democracydocket.com

Russian oil refining output hit record low in May 2026 due to constant Ukrainian strikes on oil infrastructure.

2/3 🛣️ Ukraine isn't just hitting targets. It's turning Russia's supply roads into kill zones. Russian military bloggers report trucks being hunted over 160 km from the front. Every destroyed vehicle means fewer troops, less ammunition and slower attacks. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

As with everything that every Republican says these days, there are two interpretations: 1. It's a lie. 2. Taking it at face value is even worse. Here, it's a lie, Trump tried and failed to weaken their military. But at face value it's admitting war crimes, i.e. we only targeted civilians.

It’s the Second Time he has done this for our State! Thank You Stephen Colbert….

Holy shit, Trump is really crashing out. His latest unhinged screed: “We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain. Cancel it.”

This is really gonna piss him off. Good.

Here we go again, AIPAC using a shell company to hide spending in a House race. EDW has received $ from AIPAC's United Democracy Project and DMFI, which separately ran ads in this race. So has 314 Action, which has been a cut-out for AIPAC in the past.

My votes will never be influenced by AIPAC or any corporate PAC because I don't take money from them.

Ilana Glazer and I are both proud Jewish New Yorkers who believe unapologetically that our safety is inextricably bound up with that of our neighbors, including Palestinians. And that AIPAC and the candidates they support aren’t making any of us safer or freer.

Moskowitz is one of the largest recipients of AIPAC money. He voted YES on the Laken Riley Act. He voted NO to stop trumps war. There’s a better candidate: @oliveralarkin.bsky.social

i’ll admit i did not think the retired judges’ motion to re-open the Trump v. IRS case would succeed. but now that is has…lfg? at a minimum, DOJ will be forced to justify its conduct in writing
