Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

I feel sick to my stomach over this. No comparison to what the Haitian community is going through, I know

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

These goons won't stop until we are all dead

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans — a move that could leave many seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

Republicans really do count on their followers having nowhere else to go for fact-based news, don't they. Nothing this guy said here is accurate. The viewers don't know the difference. They just absorb the anti-Dem Party rhetoric. What a scheme!

Rep. Michael Rulli: "You saw with Bernie Sanders -- they pulled him out of the convention, and then they just anointed Kamala. And now they're doing it again in Maine. The Democrats don't want you to vote." 🥴

The SAVE Act is built to trip women up. About 69 million married women have names that do not match their birth certificates, and this bill turns that paperwork into a weapon against their voice. Screw that! Please call your Senators and tell them to vote no on the #PayToVoteSaveAct

📺 I really recommend you skip tonight's WH address, but if you must watch, Sen Jon Ossoff @ossoff.bsky.social gives us a great preview of what the Liar-in-Chief is likely to say. Get your bingo cards ready

Timeline cleanse, once again... I'm so proud that the beautiful Michelle Obama was once our country's First Lady. She served in that role with grace and dignity. She was and still is someone we can look up to We don't need to spend one minute thinking about what hateful people say #MichelleObama

Trump tried to rewrite history by stamping his name on the Kennedy Center. But we wouldn't let him. American institutions are always worth fighting for, because they belong to the people. So I went to court and WON. Let this be a lesson for Trump and his cronies: democracy always wins.

📚Tennessee came to its senses and put "Roots" back on the shelves 🚸I still don't understand the instinct to hide the horrors of US history from Americans 🙈🙉🙊Hiding truths won't heal our wounds. Won't help us learn. Just keeps us uninformed. More likely to repeat those horrors

On May 17, 1954 SCOTUS struck down school desegregation. A key milestone in the Civil Rights movement. A proud moment for America I'm sure MAGA, Trump and today's now-corrupt SCOTUS are off somewhere making their evil plans to weaken that decision

This happened today, May 16, 2026. It's not a re-creation, not a memorial. This is a new fight for voter rights and for representation. Thanks to a corrupt Supreme Court #VotingRightsAct #EdmundPettusBridge #FightForOurRights

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

They banned "Roots"?Somebody tell those fools that banning books does not make the truth go away Slavery and the rape that enslaved women endured is a horrible, but true part of America's history.

Knox County Schools bans historical novel 'Roots' by Alex Haley

A sculpture of Haley stands in Morningside Park. He donated his personal papers, including drafts of "Roots," to the University of Tennessee.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

RIP Voting Rights Act An increasingly corrupt SCOTUS used misinformation to strip Black voters of their rights.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 3mo ago

SCOTUS leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in its recent ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act. However, the reality is that the racial voter turnout gap has been widening, in favor of white voters, as the court continues to dismantle the VRA.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what’s going on in the south right now with voting rights and erasure, is a “kitchen table issue” — for Black families. And it should be for everyone.

I'm not wasting a minute following this "story" tonight #NerdProm There is no way this is real I just hope the con man gets caught this time.

Expose Fox for faking the news #undignified #Trumpbaseballcap #dignifiedtransfer

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 5mo ago

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word. Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025. They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap. H/T: @BadFoxGraphics

My feed is filled with vile racist images right now thanks to the 🤬 racist in the White House I need some beauty in my feed right now. Don't you?

The 🤬racist in the White House made himself known once again It's not enough that the disgusting and blatantly racist video was removed The Obama's and America deserve a verbal and written apology expressed with deep contrition and sincerity Otherwise, #25thAmendment #25thAmendmentNow

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous
