OMG I AM SO FUCKING ANGRY RIGHT NOW!!!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

here's Michelle Obama's entire speech commemorating the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, which in part served as an extended (tacit) rebuke of Trumpism

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

here's the full clip of Rep. Emilia Sykes's brilliant line of questioning that made Chris Wright squirm by confronting him with the completely unhinged comments Trump just made in the Oval Office about inflation and the war in Iran

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons:

1) stay out of jail
2) exact revenge on his enemies
3) line his pockets

Everything else he says is bullshit.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

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.

This is MAGA's vision for the USA. Full story: https://t.co/cU1WnZKAfr

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes.

This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.

South Carolina Republicans: “Quick, let’s eliminate the one Black district before anyone catches on.”

Black South Carolina voters: “Hold my beer.”

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, who rake in billions from foreign prices while the people's savings disappear with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is because the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to this president than the defeat itself."

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.

He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.

He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.

He was impeached by his own party for corruption.

Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.

Together we will stop him.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

[Acyn @Acyn]

CNN split screen of Trump saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation and Vance claiming that Trump didn’t say that.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important.

Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin, the only two candidates in the race with strong records of standing up for all Georgians.

Early voting is already underway and Election Day is May 19th. Find out where you can vote at https://t.co/OHJnsHnuiB.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!

Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.

Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?

Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”

Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.

Silence.

Every single one of them refused to say it.

Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.

Never stop connecting the dots.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody

O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

[BonkDaCarnivore @BonkDaCarnivore]

Trump has skipped EVERY correspondant's dinner across his presidencies. Except this one.

And all of a sudden there's a shooter in the lobby

Ok.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Sen. Warnock to RFK: "I think you're dangerous to the American public and you ought to be fired. And if you're not fired, you ought to have the decency to resign. You're way in over your head."

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: How much do you guys know about Jared Kushner—Ivanka’s husband? He’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 billion. And now he’s leading American diplomacy in the Middle East, apparently, while at the very same time asking princes and sheikhs to give him billions more.

Can you imagine a normal sitting U.S. ambassador just hitting MBS for billions? But he’s a Trump, a royal, a princeling. The rules are for us, not for them.

And it’s not just Jared. Never before have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia has taken American corruption to spectacular new heights.
