My friend, Lori, had a brilliant idea I want to share. While going through boxes, she came across her kids old trophies. She thought maybe if trump had enough trophies he’d back off from Greenland. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone sent their old trophies to the White House? Let’s make it happen!!

I just saw an old white man compare David Hogg to himself in his youth “shutting down the Vietnam War” and honestly white people are pathologically sick.

Tariff exemptions aren’t trade deals, they’re shakedowns.

Anti-LGBTQ+ Christian Dominionists are having a rally right now in Miami. Here's Portland-area Jenny Donnelly sharing her dream about bashing her kid's head in because they weren't giving her enough love and talks about how she made love an idol. (something's really wrong with these people)

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ Progressive Stephen Miller's group sued Progressive in 2023 for 'discrimination' re: $25K grants to Black-owned small businesses. A federal court dismissed the case for lack of standing. Progressive: "we're so deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)"

WELKER: You talked about the fact that this might not be confined to Newark. Are there other airports that you're concerned about? DUFFY: I'm concerned about the whole airspace. The equipment that we use much of it we can't buy parts for new.

Job requirements for thee, not for me.

Once again, the relevant fact here is that the Secretary of Conmerce is lying to the American public.

Had a blast today at the Best Buddies New Hampshire Friendship Walk in Concord. Proud to be walking and working with this amazing community — rain or shine! 🌈

Bash: "The costs of tariffs are paid by American consumers." Lutnick: "I disagree with that." Bash: "Well, okay, most economists disagree with you on that and we have seen it passed off time and time again to the American consumer."

Amazing. Not sure my aunt could have handled this sort of program, even if she’d been properly cared for. (Wrote about her two years ago: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...) But to think we’ve gone from warehousing the disabled to this…! I could cry. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

Growing up in the '70s I'd read about strongman rulers in far-off places like Asia or Africa who had billion-dollar Swiss bank accounts and mansions in the French Riviera while their citizens were mired in poverty, and wondered how that could be allowed to happen Now I know

A key point here is that Christopher Rufo and the MAGA right have been running a campaign against academics, charging them with plagiarism, for years. Now one of their own is alleged to have committed the same transgression.

Pope Leo XIV used his first Sunday address to the faithful to call for peace. “Never again war,” he said to a roar from the crowd in St. Peter’s Square.

Klobuchar on Stephen Miller saying the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus: "He's doing it because they don't want to focus on what's really in front of them, and that they have created havoc in our economy ... no, they're not gonna reverse habeas corpus in the Congress."

Rep. Menendez: "They had over 20 armed ICE HSI officers, they were heavily armed, their faces were covered, and they wearing no identification. So this is who they chose to have come engage with the mayor of Newark and 3 elected members of the House of Representatives."

For the umpteenth - but almost certainly not last time - the institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Civil disobedience by an elected official defending his constituents is something we should applaud. This is bringing the fight… www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2025/05/09/n...

Federal scientists will stop updating the NOAA list of billion-dollar weather disasters. The list, which had grown rapidly in recent years, reflected both worsening extreme weather and expanding development nationwide.

What can we do about $90 million jets continuing to fall off carriers into the Red Sea? When are going to get around to that stuff?

#RecipeOfTheDay is Chocolate Pudding! Not only does it provide profound pleasure, but it’s also divinely quick and easy to make. True, it does need setting time in the fridge, though I have to tell you that eating it warm from the pan is an enticing option www.nigella.com/recipes/choc...

Let’s spend funds on infrastructure that actually keeps us moving forward.

Ed Martin out. But Jeanine Pirro? This is truly an unserious administration.

I don’t understand why no one in congress has proposed amending The Federal Reserve act to include the following addition among the mandates “Reducing the federal debt-to-GDP ratio to sustainable levels.” Keep inflation and employment the same , just add to the equation #econsky

Pope Leo XIV stepped onto a balcony overlooking St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City on Thursday — his first appearance as leader of the Roman Catholic Church. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

I just really, really, really want to watch the next Federalist Society meeting where they have to pretend Jeanine Pirro is a serious, good choice. TAKE IT FEDERALISTS THAT’S RIGHT, TAKE IT ALLLLLLLL

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.
