Trump’s distractions are getting more bizarre as the crises pile up. We break down what he desperately doesn’t want you paying attention to.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: An attorney says his client suffered a brain bleed and traumatic brain injury after a violent ICE apprehension, then woke up in a hospital with no memory of what happened. His family didn't know where he was for days. Now his lawyer is demanding answers.

I've never seen anything like this. The Trump admin just granted preliminary approval of a federal bank charter to the family's crypto firm World Liberty Financial. Remember: Trump raked in almost $800 million from WLF last year. No president has used their power to profit the way Trump has.

Josh Johnson investigates the real reason behind America's war with Iran: an underground stargate

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Girl, yes 🔥 Let’s believe. Rising Dem star and our future president.

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

And they are still reaping the benefits while they have their foot on our necks.

Supposedly this is a letter that Don Junior's new wife's father wrote in support of Jeffrey Epstein in 1998. Birds of a feather, I guess. (Sorry not typing all that out for alt text. The letter is unremarkable, it's the fact that her father wrote to recommend him that's significant.)

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Trump personally bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in technology companies and government contractors early this year, according to government records. In total, he made at least $220 million in financial transactions. The Trump admin directly regulates some of these companies.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The national debt just crossed a once-unthinkable threshold: It now exceeds 100% of America’s GDP. But there's an important piece missing from the conversation about the debt that you should know about. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-no-one-will-tell-you-about-the

asked a question about IVF, a very confused Trump immediately asks the women behind him to answer it

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

My latest reflections on Substack about the current FBI director, the Pentagon Papers, and what the attempt to control "leaks" tells us about the state of our democracy asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-fbis-p...

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Iran is at it again. This time they added the Tesla logo. 😂

They are going to try to charge Obama with violating The Logan Act. Just watch.

So the FBI Director is handing out personalized bourbon bottles like he’s promoting a nightclub instead of running the nation’s top law enforcement agency. Ka$h Patel isn’t qualified for the job. Period.

"The bottles bear the imprint of the Kentucky distillery Woodford Reserve, and are engraved with the words 'KASH PATEL FBI DIRECTOR,' as well as a rendering of an FBI shield. Surrounding the shield is a band of text … featuring his favored spelling of his first name: KA$H."

This should never be considered normal.

There is no love in this marriage. This isn’t AI, this is not just a bad moment. This is a woman who doesn’t love her husband. Trump also looks like the typical psychopath, forcing himself to be normal but - those demonic eyes tell it all.

This is insane

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

“America isn’t the way it is because he’s president. He’s president because America is the way it is.” David Cochrane (CBC News). I am fully bought into this concept now.

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

Also, since I just bring this up periodically, did right-wing commentators (let alone Trump) ever mention Kirk's killer again after he was arrested? He was supposedly trans and killed Kirk to impress his roommate (? I think that was the story?) so you'd think they would have milked that forever

Others have noted it, but it really is strange that Donald Trump, who obsesses over the slightest perceived insult to him, has never to my knowledge once discussed the actual man who took a shot at him in Butler, PA.

this came from X but seems to match videos from other angles i've seen so pretty sure it's legit

Palantir employees are talking about the company’s “descent into fascism.” Slack messages, and interviews with current and former workers, paint a picture of a company in turmoil.

BREAKING: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is OUT — effective immediately, according to the Pentagon.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise. In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival. This is why sustained investment in science & research matters. tinyurl.com/f4n4anhk

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

More mainstream media should be reporting on the rife insider trading going on in the trump administration, as the BBC did here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to “white Christian nationalism” is 🔥 But let’s not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism. I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.
