This is what we get for not paying attention in Oklahoma.

Cockfighters actually think this is a flex. Note: No reliable sources have been found that Jackson had cockfights at the White House.

Guess where Oklahoma is on the rankings.

We won't be a greater country until the science and technology sections are back on the masthead of the @NYT.

Now I get it.

If this goes forward — $250 bill with Trump's face on it. — Chinese will get a huge kick out of it. "250" (二百五， èrbǎiwǔ) is a common Chinese insult meaning a half-wit, a blockhead, a fool. Comedy writes itself. 笑死.

This is today's Republican (Trump) Party.

Truly disturbing that the American Veterinary Medical Association (@AVMAvets) is lobbying Congress to keep pigs in tiny crates. Welfare scientist Donald Broom said it's "much worse than severely beating an animal." Seems like a clear violation of the veterinarian's oath.

I block people like this who want to have a one-way conversation by disabling feedback/comments. On top of that, she is ruining the Oklahoma Republican Party with her anti-intellectualism.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/admin…

“Prop. 12 protects animals in a way that I believe is good, meaningful, & becoming of our American values. But the question of the ‘Save Our Bacon Act’ isn’t whether or not Prop. 12 is a good law. The question is whether the federal government has the explicit Constitutional authority to override it. Otherwise, per the 10th Amendment and Barry Goldwater, the goodness determination ‘lies not with the federal government, which is not sovereign, but with the people who are.’” Read more from Wilberforce Founder @KLiamGray in @townhallcom!

Adopting the Big Tobacco playbook for pork industry lobbying against animal welfare laws. @Carver_Food thenewlede.org/2026/05/pork-… @thenewledenews

The President is now exempt from our tax laws while everyone else has to obey them. Got it. It's just mind blowing that is what's happening in America.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

Authoritarian incompetence

Every generation has moral blind spots. One of ours is believing that animals’ suffering matters deeply when they’re in our homes, but barely at all when they’re on our farms.

For a friend: map of the State house vote to ban Child Marriage. Green is Yes to ban, No is to keep. Silver is absent and White is vacant.

Why did Republicans destroy all of our campaign finance reforms and unleash unrestricted money in our elections? Why are Republicans using gerrymandering to undermine fair elections? Why did Republicans deny Democratic presidents the ability to appoint Supreme Court justices?

The State Department fired 200 experienced U.S. Foreign Service Officers today. No Administration has been more dismissive of our nonpartisan career diplomats. Shameful.

WATCH: In his farewell speech to the House, Rep. Mike Osburn (R-Edmond) criticized the inflammatory rhetoric around immigration by the Trump administration. “We are a nation of immigrants” draws a standing ovation from House Dems as House Republicans remain seated. #okleg
