The Albanian community is protesting outside of their embassy in central London. They demand the resignation of their PM and remind him that their country is not for sale.

WHITESIDES: The truth is the cheapest form of energy on a per unit basis is daytime solar. Is that not true? CHRIS WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No it doesn't depend! It's true. You are amazingly misleading the American public. WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No!

Kamlager-Dove: We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel?

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the US military with the IDF. Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the US to compromise its own security for Netanyahu's demands.

Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land. Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

Spot on. This is the most vile administration of my life. The deep seated hatred spewed out of the so called MAGA Christian is rich.

1/ 🚨 The "SAVE America Act" isn't about election security. It’s an unfunded federal takeover built on compromised data, designed to crash local elections and disenfranchise millions The graphic & replies break it down. Jenny Cohn practiced law 20+ years Script below to ☎️ Your Senators #NoOnSave👇 🧵

A graphic titled "THE SAVE ACT: A BLUEPRINT FOR ELECTION COLLAPSE." It lists seven bullet points detailing the impacts of Senate Bill 1383. Point 1 notes the DOJ is forcing states to hand over voter rolls to the compromised DOGE database. Point 2 states the bill targets troops, students, Native, and transgender voters by banning certain IDs and offering no name verification method for transgender voters. Point 3 highlights a geography tax forcing some rural voters to drive up to 4.5 hours to register in person. Point 4 states local election volunteers face 5 years in federal prison for paperwork mistakes. Point 5 explains a trap for married women, noting 1 in 3 lack documentation and the bill does not explicitly mention marriage certificates. Point 6 describes a logistical collapse, citing 25 million citizens lacking required documents and the threat of frivolous lawsuits against election officials. Point 7 states the bill mandates illegal mass purges every 30 days using a database with a 14 percent error rate. The graphic concludes with a call to action to "Demand Your Senators Vote No" at (202) 224-3121 and lists sources at the bottom.

6/ DHS & DOGE recently announced a dramatic overhaul of the SAVE program. “Sweeping changes…allow user agencies to search SAVE using just social security #s, names, and [DOB]…DHS & the [SSA] have given the SAVE program access to info…in the administration’s central social security number database.”

Bad data and a politicized overhaul could spread election fraud lies and disenfranchise voters.
