A Pulitzer for Julie K. Brown. Richly deserved, and overdue!

BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices. The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices.

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

Same energy:

Trump is 30 minutes and counting late to a White House event -- he's so late the jazz group warming up for him ran out of tunes and stopped playing -- but as I type this he is posting Fox News clips on Truth Social, so we at least know he's still among the living.

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act is an attack on our constitutional republic. Illinois will fight back, uphold our values, and safeguard democracy.

BREAKING: We filed another emergency lawsuit — this time in federal court — against Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. Louisiana is disenfranchising voters who have already cast ballots, all in the service of stifling Black voting power.

HOLY SHIT @pablo.show CONGRATS!!!

One thing this regime has taught us is that a president can do whatever the fuck they want if no one stops him. All that bullshit about "Don't worry, he can't do that because constitution" is being proven to be the lie it is. We are allowing our country to be dismantled by a mad man and his cult.

We won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting @chicagotribune.com! Our entire newsroom covered Midway Blitz with everything we had. I’ve never been prouder of the Tribune or its commitment to the truth. It’s an honor to be part of this team.

🌿💖🤎 may the beauty of this moment, bring you joy 🤎💖🤎

move over, D-Day

America has a demented president running the country and the people who voted for him, or couldn't get themselves to vote for Harris so they stayed home or voted 3rd party, are responsible for this damn mess. Anyone with a lick of sense could have seen this coming.

new york times pulitzer finalists for their podcast series about trans youth where they don't really talk to any actual trans people. good shit....great shit!

Wow 🤩 The Weather Channel posted this.

Trump is shitposting slop while his guests wait for him to show up. He's not waylaid in meetings or trying to solve some problem, he's just self-soothing by posting brainrot. Imagine the lack of dignity it takes to just sit there and wait for him to get offline.

So here we are again. POTUS threatening to destroy a country because he does not understand his actions. Project Freedom was an escalation tactic. Iran responded in kind. Now he is mad about that. This is infuriating to people that understand how this works. #IranWar #ProjectFreeDumb

I've never been asked to show my ID in a restaurant. And here I was the whole time, thinking it was because I was on Star Trek.

Democrats need to tone down the political rhetoric?

a very confused Trump: "I could with one swipe of the pen say, 'Let's have no employment,' and I'll hire a million people or two million people and we'll have absolutely no employment."

IT’S STAR WARS DAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

At the time of its release, in April '88, Tracy Chapman's debut sounded like nothing else on rock radio. You'd hear Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Eagles. And then, Fast Cars. It was a breath a fresh air and reminded me of Joan Armatrading's work. The whole LP has aged well and remains relevant, powerful.

Becerra: Whoever goes into that governor’s office should not need training wheels. This is a time of crisis—whether it’s a man-made crisis in Washington, D.C., or the cost-of-living crisis we face here at home. We have to have someone who knows how to get us through a crisis. That’s what I’ve done

I’m totally disappointed in the Iranian hackers for not digging up the hidden files of the Epstein files 😬.

A little bit of bolognese in my life, A little bit of pesto on the side, A little puttanesca here I am, A little bit of this goes in the pan.

I Googled crowd sizes for PGA tour events and it averages about 40,000. I know 100 people compared to 40,000 to watch golf isn't a legitimate polling metric but the 33% approval rating the MSM claims he owns seems like a juiced # when fans boycott HIS event at this scale.

BREAKING: We're suing Texas to block a law that would allow local and state law enforcement to arrest, detain, and remove people they suspect to be immigrants, all without federal authorization.

There’s literally always a tweet.

Mary, a 72-year-old Amazon worker from North Carolina has a message for tonight's Met Gala chair Jeff Bezos

just seconds after describing his war on Iran as "a military operation," Trump slips and calls it a "war"

Refutations to Anti-Vaccine Memes Originally this cartoon was about Covid vaccination, but it's just as relevant to measles, pertussis, and all the other vaccine-preventable diseases.

We have idiots in the White House. That is all.

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 185 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

I have yet to regret my @theonion.com subscription

Trump claims "consumer confidence is *way* up." In fact, consumer confidence recently hit an all-time low.

Dog has a condition that makes it hard to get food down so he eats in a special high chair. In dogs with megaesophagus, the muscles in the esophagus cannot properly coordinate the swallowing movement. As a result, food, and liquid accumulate in the esophagus.

happy star wars day to this tweet in particular

Mifepristone is safe and effective health care, and access to health care should be a right for every American.

Where do I donate to ensure this happens? This time I won't make the mistake I made by SYMPATHIZING with someone with clear mental health issues. Focus on your health before politics. I will support ANY DEM who can kick this feckturd out. There. I said what I said.

every trans person has been effectively drummed out of the mainstream media but you can be a pulitzer finalist if you look around the situation that your fucking newspaper helped create and go “wow so this is pretty interesting huh”

Trump is crazyposting at 3pm

MLB team owners have an average net worth of $4.7 BILLION. That's $260 million a year. They'll each get an average $286,000 tax break next year. So why are streaming packages out of control? Why does a day at the ballpark cost an average $225? Greed. Tax the rich.

A survivor of the Kent State Massacre rings the bell on campus today, May 4, at exactly 12:20, the moment his classmates fell, 56 years ago.

We've been talking about how FF14 pays for all of SE's stupid flops but even I had never imagined that it's literally 50% of the companies profits. The "impassioned demand" from Yoshi-P for more resources to the CEO definitely hits different knowing that.

The President of the United States is a Traitor.

Remember: Anyone voting for or supporting RNC candidates is now committing an act of treason. You cannot support people who ignored the constitution and destroyed our country to get what they wanted. Well, maybe you can, but that does make you a traitor. This isn't up for discussion anymore.

Lord I’ve seen what you’ve done for others and I want that for me

This is embarrassing

Wind turbines are such an eyesore.

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez won a historic sum of $375 million in a landmark child safety case against Meta earlier this year. The next stage of the fight begins today, and it could be even more consequential for Meta and the social media industry at large.

Criticizing Israel and its behavior and policies, even very sharply, isn’t bigoted. Reflexively responding to any mention of Jews, Judaism, Jewish history or culture, or the Jewish community with demands to denounce Israel is absolutely bigoted and also unhinged.

Porter: Donald Trump—he’s got the shit touch. Everything he touches turns to shit.

Happy nerd holiday

Families can't afford to fill their tank and put food on the table because of Republican wars and tariffs. Health care is more expensive than ever thanks to Republican cuts and obstruction. Americans simply don't care about a stupid ballroom.

Trump: "When I get out of office in, let's say, eight or nine years from now ... "

ok one year left of my 30s to win a pulitzer. let’s go.

Who thinks Vladimir Putin is actively influencing the United States elections?

Trump: "No president has ever taken a cognitive test except me. I've taken three of them. One in the first administration. They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. 'Which is the squirrel?'"

Church of Scientology says the TikTok speedruns are 'hate crimes' Ex-Scientologist and niece of the church’s leader appreciates the trolling, calling it 'the only thing being done to make Scientology uncomfortable and to turn them into a joke so that [they don't trap] new people' (via LA Times)
