Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

Donald John Trump and his team of useless sycophants are so incompetent they can’t even sustain an abject surrender.

Elon making plans to go to Epstein's island:

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

No one is above the law, except for every single Republican politician and activist convicted of a crime over the last decade because Trump has pardoned all of them or commuted their sentences.

This *ought* to be a clarifying moment for the evangelical right Sure would be if anyone else said it

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…

.400+ AVG, .500+ OBP, .850+ SLG in any 38-game span of any of the last 55 MLB seasons: Pedro Guerrero (1985) Big Hurt (1994, 1997) Bagwell (1994) Mo Vaughn (1996) Helton (2000) Bonds (2002, 2003, 2004) Edmonds (2004) Berkman (2008) Harper (2015) Judge (2024) Nick Kurtz (2025)

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

It's way down on the list of horrors, but National Parks having to post signs asking visitors to report anything there that provides "information that [is] negative about either past or living Americans" is utterly pathetic. The past isn't all positive, kids. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings.

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

“The fear to speak. In America?” CBS’ Scott Pelley asked. “If our government is—in Lincoln’s words—‘of the people, by the people and for the people’—then why are we afraid to speak?” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-s...

A bracing warning from "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley: "Our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. And insidious fear is reaching through our schools..." #WFU www.youtube.com/live/FcWa-wX...

This is not good. State trooper cars should be highly visible and marked. It’s not safe to have unmarked or low visibility vehicles pulling people over, especially in the age of ICE kidnappings. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/09/c...

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

"I very much want to believe that we will once again find our way before too much damage is done, before we descend into a time of monsters. But I very much fear that the lamps are once again going out all around us."

America has been cursed with ‘nearly 80 million’ ignorant bigots, who thought this foolish senile old man really had something special…👇 Many are still in deep denial that they RUINED our nation. But they did. These people should be shamed until the end of their miserable lives. WHO AGREES?! 🤚

Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."

Instead of referring to Elon Musk as the “richest man in the world”, call him what he actually is the “Greediest Man on Earth”!

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Jessica Aber, the former U.S. attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, was found dead Saturday morning, police say.

The eventual fate of the GOP

North Cascades is one of about a dozen national parks, including Olympic, that depend on pack animals to cart heavy loads into the backcountry. The string averaged 20 multi-day trips and 11 single-day trips per season. Some seasons Koon-Swanson has spent 100 nights in the backcountry.

Heather Koon-Swanson led the North Cascades National Park pack mules for two decades until retiring in December.

A Trump administration freeze on purchase cards that agencies use to cover everything from dumpster pickups at national parks to liquid nitrogen for lifesaving military research is upending work across the government, according to records obtained by The Washington Post.
