Trump’s DOJ sent letters to all 50 states and D.C. this week, warning that election officials could face criminal prosecution over possible noncitizen voting. The letters are not about election integrity, Nevada’s top election official says — they are about intimidation. bit.ly/3TsHch8

What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again. 4/4

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

Folks are misunderstanding what’s happening in Iran at a fundamental level. It boils down to the fact that Iran’s leadership thinks they’re winning. They think they can hold out longer than Trump will fight. That’s why they’re refusing to negotiate on the nuclear issue.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

First slide of an Instagram carousel summarizing Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American, May 15, 2026. A curly-haired dog is pictured in a teal circle on the left. Text reads: “Today, Heather explains how new financial disclosures reveal Trump making over 3,700 stock trades in a single quarter — more than 40 a day in companies directly affected by his own policy decisions — while refusing the blind trust his predecessors used, leaving Wall Street executives 'baffled' and the White House insisting, with a straight face, that there are no conflicts of interest.”

Tennessee Republicans did it. The final vote is in. They just gutted the only Black-majority district to lock in more Republican power. Black voters shut out, representation erased. Call it what it is, a white supremacy power grab. And a shameful day for Tennessee, the birth place of the KKK.
