What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

“But at this point, how much more evidence is necessary to assess that Trump has undermined U.S. national security and is working for Russia? And how much longer will Republicans in Congress continue to protect him as he does it?”

What the fuck in the ever loving fuck?

National security scholar Tom Nichols commented: “This is a good time to note that Hegseth is terrible at his job, that the Pentagon is a mess, that he should never have been confirmed, and that he should be fired first thing in the morning.”

The Trump administration's latest boat strike, which killed 2 more civilians, is just as patently illegal as the last 66.

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Lawyer: I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the cup

“If we omit it now, some [dictator] may hereafter arise, who laying hold of popular disquietudes, may collect together the desperate and the discontented, and by assuming to themselves the powers of government, may sweep away the liberties of the continent like a deluge.” Still Common Sense now

“Solicitor General John Sauer told the court that the president must be able to remove officials in the agencies because ‘the President must have the power to control and…the one who has the power to remove is the one who…is the person that they have to fear and obey.’” JFC

“…the only politician calling for state takeover of private industries is Trump, under whom the government has taken stakes in at least nine companies involved in steel, minerals, nuclear energy, and semiconductors, costing at least $10 billion in taxpayer money.”

I love that 2 great cities had major celebrations this week and I love the parallels in how Zohran and Michelle each talk about the city they love

“There may well be an effort to downplay the Blanche confirmation process, but make no mistake: it is a very big deal indeed.”

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

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...

Cuts to global health funding don’t stay abroad. 🦠 🌎 Ebola response teams are running short on supplies and support after the Trump admin’s destruction of USAID. This weakens outbreak prevention & increases risk of disease spread beyond geopolitical borders. Public health is global security. ⛑️

2. Among the outlets that did cover the story, many printed the Trump Organization's claim that the stock trades were made independently, without noting that Trump did not set up a qualified blind trust, which is what needs to happen to actually have your assets independently managed.

Illinois is facing a housing crisis—and communities across the state are feeling the impact. Illinois legislators should support Governor Pritzker's BUILD proposal as one important piece of addressing our housing crisis. Read the full article: chicagotribune.com/2026… #ImpactForEquity

Most relatable comic of all time?

This is awful and I don’t even know what the fix is anymore

As scholar of authoritarianism Timothy Snyder wrote: “You can apply lots of normalizing frameworks or you can just make a timeline of his calls with Putin. We don’t have a sovereign foreign policy. We have superpower suicide.” Putin calls the shots on foreign policy and Stephen Miller on domestic

No lie detected.

Such an exciting win for affordable housing! A huge thanks to Representative Tracy Katz Muhl, who was such an amazing champion for this bill and helped secure 33 co-sponsors, the majority of whom represent affected districts. We have some great momentum as we take this bill into the Senate!

Hungary's election is a reminder that no matter how much a dictator rigs the system, there's no defense against nearly 80% of voters showing up… Remember that.

“…the economic mess in which the U.S., and the world, finds itself is entirely Trump’s fault. The trade wars, unjustified war in the Middle East, and attacks on U.S. science, universities, and immigration that are throttling economic growth are all a product of Trump’s personal choices.”

I guess ultimately it isn’t surprising that Orban’s government was funding CPAC, but it also is shocking. Future generations for sure will be shocked by how much we just didn’t know or ignored. Oh, and Mitch McConnell can go fuck himself

Congratulations to JD Vance & the International Council of Nationalists for helping cost Orban the election & providing a road map for defeating our fascists at home. If a Dem nominee won’t clean house & punish the monsters administrating concentration camps on American soil, they’re a collaborator

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

This is so unhinged. He’s going to get us all killed. But I fear it will not compel anyone around him with the power to remove him to do so, for reasons that I don’t think I will ever understand

Please consider filling out a witness slip as a proponent of HB5198 - an amendment to strengthen Illinois’ Affordable Housing Planning & Appeal Act!

“You don’t want to show that kind of division to your enemy when you’re in the midst of a war,” Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Mineiro. “I don’t have a problem with the administration avoiding showing our enemy that they don’t have 100 percent support of the Congress.” The cognitive dissonance…

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Please take a minute to review and sign this petition - this will show your support for the creation of a working group to explore how to implement a proactive rental inspection program citywide. Stay tuned, too, for info on how to participate in important public input opportunities!

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

I understand that the times we live in are very serious and not a sitcom. But did I read this sentence in my head as Ron Howard narrating an episode of Arrested Development? Yes. Yes, I did. “In fact, Trump has not been exonerated.”

This is so lovely. Rest in power, Rev. Jackson

I think this is very narrow-minded. I absolutely would have brought this applicant in to interview and asked them to expand on it

Huh, this is an interesting turn of events

The court documents are going to be an insane testimony to this time. I can imagine future law students and historians reading these documents and wondering how and WHY people who had the power to do something simply…chose not to

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Bearing witness

There is absolutely no way to spin this. This was an execution.

They call immigrants criminals as they unleash a crime wave. They call immigrants rapists as they keep raping people. They call immigrants invaders as they keep invading communities. They call immigrants murderers as they keep murdering people.
