This Knicks victory is a story of sacrifice and solidarity — values the “fan” who fell asleep at Game Four will never comprehend. All respect to Captain MVP.

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.

As the Trump DOJ mass-deletes government information about the Jan. 6 cases, reminder that you can still access NPR's database covering every single prosecution.
We also provide access to hundreds of videos presented in court.

how stupid does he think everyone else in the world is?
Blanche: My job is to do the right thing. It's to do the right thing, no matter who is on the other side. And the fact that it was President Trump and his sons and his company played no role in my decision except to do the right thing.

The people Donald Trump wants to give $1.776 billion of your taxpayer dollars as “compensation” for the “weaponization” of justice they’ve suffered.

There’s so much going on that it’s easy to overlook the fact that the president is telling so many lies.
Here’s a fact check of 28 different false claims President Donald Trump made from Monday through Friday. cnn.com/2026/05/23/politics/…

Just a horrible Secretary of State, but of course, even worse as an accessory to mass murder when he ran AID
Rubio says that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "were not fruitful." Not fruitful?
Let’s look at the facts: your negotiators visited Russia seven times, and Ukraine zero times. You demanded concessions from Ukraine before negotiations even began, and throughout the entire process.
You pressured Ukraine by cutting off weapons support entirely, constantly badmouthing us, and showing up at our doorstep waving Russian "peace plan" you demanded we sign immediately.
And now, after Ukraine stands more firmly on its feet without your support, you realize you can't pressure us anymore. So your excuse is that you are tired and leaving?
How about, for once, you actually support the victim, which is Ukraine instead of terrorist Russian regime? Send your team to Kyiv, support our fight, and apply real pressure on aggressor.
Sanction Russia and seize their shadow fleet instead of handing out sanction waivers. Do that, and maybe negotiations will magically become "fruitful."

Below is Exhibit 2 for when @DAGToddBlanche gets disbarred.
(Exhibit 1 is the illegal slush fund to pay criminals that Blanche created from a fake settlement).

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Dept.
Court dismisses indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case).
Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power."
The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Not getting enough attention: the one-page order from Todd Blanche to wipe out every audit of Donald Trump.
Many experts believe it’s illegal, and here’s why.
Federal law prohibits the President or his aides from directing or halting an IRS audit. Agents who carry out a politically motivated audit, or stop one at the direction of the White House, can face prison time. That is the statute on the books.
Now look at what just happened.
Todd Blanche, the Acting Attorney General and Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, signed a one-page order demanding the IRS drop every existing audit of Trump, his family, and their “affiliates.” One of those audits reportedly could have cost Trump more than $100 million.
The Treasury Department’s top lawyer resigned over it.
The acting top IRS lawyer had to recuse himself because he previously represented Trump in his tax cases.
There is no precedent for an Attorney General ordering an end to audits of a group of taxpayers. Many experts say the Attorney General has no authority to do this.
So we have a likely illegal order, signed by the President’s former lawyer, on behalf of the President, protecting the President. And the only people with jurisdiction to investigate it work for the President.
I will fight this with every tool I have.

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) breaks with Trump and says no "anti-weaponization fund" money should go to individuals who assaulted police officers.

A year ago I warned what would happen if the U.S. tore down our disease detection system around the world
With Hantavrirus and now a very concerning Ebola outbreak in DR Congo, we are seeing VERY clearly what we’ve lost.
And why it matters.
Read my @TheAtlantic piece from a year ago outlining what happened, and follow along as I continue to cover these issues in the coming days.

"The combined effect of Rucho, Callais, and Shelby County—turbocharged by Citizens United's flood of unregulated campaign money—is to institutionalize Republican political power, allowing a party with a 25% base to knock at the door of durable legislative majorities it could not otherwise achieve." harrylitman.substack.com/p/c…

You do not give a damn about fraud. Every one of these people gave Trump $1 million, and each of them got a pardon.
That scheme is fraud in and of itself.
