i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

ballsandstrikes.orgA Brief History of Sam Alito’s Delusional Obsession With Voter FraudHis conduct in several recent cases suggests that Alito is deep in the right-wing conspiracy theory weeds.

Mike Johnson is not a good man. Claiming to be “a Bible-believing Christian,” the moral standards he says Christianity requires conflict with his actual conduct as speaker—particularly statements about political opponents, immigrants, LGBTQ people, Trump, and claims that are demonstrably false.

Caroline Sunshine on CNN? OMG- is that her real name? She should be tRump’s press Secy- she looks just like the other Bimbo Barbie who just quit. And she’s so good at the lying part! Can’t imagine being a journalist in that room, tho, with Ms Sunshine telling you every day how great trump is! 😂😂

The word on the street is that Bartiromo leaked an internal Fox memo that was not favorable toward Trump to the White House. More than worry about pissing off her bosses, she was probably interested in auditioning for WH Press Secretary. There’s nothing Trump values more than loyalty to him!

She pissed somebody off. They aren’t trying to clean up squat. IMHO

If you winder how much $ social media sites are raking in, Meta just agreed to an $18b- yes, that’s 18 billion- settlement over teen protections rather than go to trial. If they can afford to settle for $18 billion because going to trial would be more costly, well, that should tell you something!

From his speech just now, it sounds like Cassidy will vote yes on Blanche. He quotes Bill Barr’s support of Blanche (like, why would we expect otherwise?) He also indicates the Blanche is a lesser-of-two-evils choice. Now, there’s a ringing endorsement for ya!

Sen. Kennedy on Face the Nation, says Trump likes daily attacks on Iran because “sometimes you have to kill a few chickens in order to shake up the monkies.” That’s crass even for a Republican! The folksy delivery doesn’t excuse the grossness of the sentiment!

@jaketapper.bsky.social I’m watching your report on “18 Days in Minnesota” You might want to have someone look into this

ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO. She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation. They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO. When will it be enough. #ShedShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Luttig: As a candidate for attorney general of the United States of America, Blanche is an embarrassment to America itself. If the Republican Senate confirms this man, based on his record, to be the next attorney general, it will mark the end of the rule of law in America.

Sen. E Schmidt on recent NY election: “hammer and sickle wave” suggests “This is not your grandfather’s Democratic Party.” Actually, my grandad was a Republican & it’s my guess that a Republican pedophile in the White House wasn’t his idea of the Republican Party, so there you go. Times have change!

IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE.

The longer we allow grandpa to rage post to distract from the EPSTEIN Files, the more danger he creates for the safety & security of the world. Any doubt he would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat if he thought it would benefit himself? I'm with Maj. Jason Watson: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE 🇺🇸

Indeed, do NOT lose sight of Kushner’s vested interests!

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

@cnn.com Where is Daniel Dale?

Natalie Korach@nataliekorach.bsky.social

CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD www.status.news/p/daniel-dal...

The real deal right here! 👇

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Germans turned in their neighbors for hiding Jews. What would you do if the government asked you to rat out your friends and neighbors? Here’s a story about a comedian who set up a prank hotline for people to turn in illegal immigrants. What do you think happened? www.npr.org/2026/05/04/n...

npr.orgA comedian launched a fake DHS tip line to report undocumented immigrantsComedian Ben Palmer specializes in pranks. One of his more recent ideas for a prank was to set up a fake tip line for people to call in and report undocumented immigrants. He got hundreds of calls.

A friend pointed out . . . This is what we should have done, but our Republican politicians gave their balls up when Trump was elected the first time, and they haven’t gotten them back yet! Probably never will! #VoteBlue

Dana Bash interviews Scott Brown (NH) Senate hopeful about economy. Brown claims gas prices aren’t as high as they were under Biden. As of mid-April 2026, the national average gas price in the U.S. has stabilized around $4.12 - 4.15/gallon. How about a little fact checking @cnn.com? Gas prices:
