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.

happy monday! infowars.com

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!!!

Happy May the Forest Be With You!

Picked this up at the library today. 2 chapters in and I LOVE it.

This is an excellent question.

LOL Ukraine hit a Russian data center and Russian bot activity immediately dropped to practically zero. Elon is mad hahahahahaha

Cartoon by @slyngstad.bsky.social

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

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.

This is outrageous. A free press cannot function under constant threats and retaliation from the government. Reporters must be free to hold those in power accountable — without fear of retribution. The assault on the free press must end!

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I’m still trying to process how the president of the United States somehow talks tougher about Canada than North Korea.

Zelenskyy: “Don’t attack us. Don’t kill our children. We will stop attacking your diesel. I think it’s a fair deal.”

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Vote. Your life depends on it.

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.

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

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.

Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

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

A year ago, just 42% of Americans opposed a data center being built in their community. Today, a staggering 75% do. Are data centers really that bad? Let’s take a look.

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.

Whether it's a trade war with Canada or an actual war with Iran, the pattern is the same: Americans are paying the price for the President's choices.

It appears that I am done with chemo!!!!

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

“Stars And Stripes” played a major role in breaking stories about living conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln earlier this summer.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

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.

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

When we first met

Look, are we the laughing stock of the world? Yes. Are we losing a war we should’ve never started? Yes. Is all our food poison now? Yes. Are all the jobs going away? Yes. But the important thing is a blue-haired college student I made up in my head feels bad about memes.

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.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

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"

Kacey Musgraves asks fans to donate to the Chicago-based Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights in honor of her birthday

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

Thank you, Admiral. I hope that more esteemed individuals would speak honestly.

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.

BREAKING: Sen. Ruben Gallego will NOT attend the SOTU and will instead participate in the People’s State of the Union hosted by MeidasTouch and MoveOn.

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.

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.
