“Two hundred seventeen members have now done that on Discharge Petition No. 25, Migrant Insider has learned. One more name and the American Dream and Promise Act gets a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives, and Speaker Mike Johnson can do nothing about it but watch.”

Discharge Petition No. 25 has reached 217 signatures on the American Dream and Promise Act. The 218th has to be a Republican.

Every one of those brave and inspiring people you hear about on the news was exhausted and terrified the whole time. They were sad and angry and wanted to crawl into a hole and not come out. They wished they could have stayed in bed. Then they did it anyway. But they did it scared and sad and tired.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Wyoming's far-right crashed out yesterday in GOP primaries. The least conservative of the 3 major governor candidates prevailed, over a Freedom Caucuser and over the Trump-endorsed candidate. The SOS primary was won by a moderate. And Freedom Caucus incumbents suffered very heavy losses.

I swear to God, the omnipresence of women of means getting deep plane facelifts and then writing about it in mainstream media is enough to make any woman over 50 lose her shit. It must be nice to have $100k to blow on optional surgery while everyone else is struggling to afford health insurance.

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.
The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

Our liberation is tied to yours. And when you undercut a woman who reports domestic violence, you reinforce every single sexist trope about women who report violence and abuse. And that means you undermine everything. Well done, guys. Well fucking done.

Wrote up this story - honestly it undersells how bad it is. OpenAI had a negative 122% non-GAAP operating margin in Q1 2026 and ChatGPT growth has stalled. OpenAI is a company with broken economics that has hit its ceiling. www.wheresyoured.at/news-openai-...
News: OpenAl Had A Negative 122% Non-GAAP Operating Margin In Q12026, and ChatGPT
Growth Has Stalled
ED ZITRON / MAY 22, 2026 / 4 MIN READ
Executive Summary:
• The Information reports that OpenAl generated $5.7bn in revenue for the first quarter of 2026 based on discussions with sources familiar with its financials.
• With adjusted negative margins of -122%, this means that for every dollar of revenue OpenAl made, it lost an additional $1.22, or around $6.95bn on a non-GAAP basis.
• OpenAl is "on track" to hit goal of $30bn in 2026 revenue, but margins suggest losses of over $36.6bn.
• OpenAl continues to struggle converting free ChatGPT users to paying customers, and overall user growth has stalled.
