The key element of UFC Freedom 250 fight desecrating White House lawn is less the event itself & more what it represents. It’s a mirror to a money-grab of a presidency increasingly disconnected from the day-to-day realities the rest of us face. @rexhuppke usatoday.com/story/opinion/c…

BREAKING: An Economics Professor Just Made A Pretty Stunning Argument About Elon Musk. According to the professor, Musk spent roughly $250 million during the 2024 election cycle. He claims that's just 0.025% of Musk's wealth. In other words, the amount spent was so small relative to Musk's fortune that he could theoretically spend the same amount thousands of times over. That's a democracy question, not just a money question.

Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.

#BREAKING: Carol Leonnig: “…what we were hearing last night…was that the Ohio Organizing Collaborative…one of its offices in Cleveland was targeted and raided by FBI agents yesterday. In addition to that, what we learned was that a series of FBI agents were fanning out across the state…to interview people and approach them at their homes, who had worked as volunteers registering voters, or as canvassers for the collaborative, and those interviews, if you can call them that, were conducted often WITHOUT warrants…So FBI agents were essentially just going into people’s homes and saying we’d like to ask you a few questions, which is NOT how the FBI normally investigates these kinds of matters…their great concern is that this is part of a larger Trump administration effort to basically target swing states and to target pro democracy organizations who might register Democratic voters, or help them register to vote, and question and sow distrust in those swing states in the integrity of the elections.” 😳

The bottom line: The federal judges have ruled more than 13,300 times — the overwhelming majority of the 15,100 rulings — that ICE had detained people in violation of the law or their due process rights. politico.com/news/2026/05/13…

Oh. So. It's not just algae that's a problem. The Reflecting Pool is now leaking worse than it ever has (which was the reason Trump used to justify this entire project....the leaks) AND it appears the state of the art filter Obama had installed was not re-installed, hence, the algae in just 2 days instead of weeks/months with the filter. Because Obama is black.
🚨 BREAKING: Internal Interior Department and National Park Service documents reportedly show bubbles, pinholes, and uneven blue coating emerging during Trump's rushed Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation. The stated purpose of the project was to stop leaks. But officials reportedly documented defects in the waterproofing layer itself: • Bubbles and trapped air • Pinholes and small holes • Uneven, mottled blue coating • Sections requiring rework That's not just an aesthetic issue. Pinholes and blistering are exactly the kinds of defects that can compromise a waterproofing system and shorten its lifespan. The administration sold this as a fast, beautiful fix. The documents reportedly show crews scrambling to correct quality problems while racing to meet a politically driven deadline. A project intended to stop leaks was reportedly battling defects in the leak-prevention layer before it was even finished.

Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right? So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing. The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…
