I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

@RpsAgainstTrump I attended before they evacuated everyone.
It was at most a few thousand people.

Q: Were you briefed on the attack plans for the UFC event at the White House?
TRUMP: ...
Q: The FBI thwarted an attack
TRUMP: I haven't heard about it, no. The attack I watched were the fighters.
"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.
After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room.
The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.
BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."
Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.

Trump just threw a massive wrench into the Iran negotiations. In a lengthy new post, Trump said it should be “mandatory” that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and others sign onto the Abraham Accords as part of any deal involving Iran.
That comes after Trump reportedly stunned leaders of several Arab and Muslim nations during a Saturday conference call by demanding they normalize relations with Israel if an Iran war deal is reached. According to U.S. officials familiar with the call, leaders, especially from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan, which do not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, were caught completely off guard.
“There was silence on the line and Trump joked and asked if they are still there,” one official said.
Now Trump is publicly escalating the demand, saying countries that refuse “should not be part of this Deal.”
Saudi Arabia has repeatedly said normalization with Israel requires an irreversible path toward a Palestinian state, something Netanyahu’s government flatly rejects. Trump is now trying to force some of the most politically sensitive diplomatic issues in the Middle East into an already fragile Iran negotiation.
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
