Earthquake in Hungary: Orbán defeated after 16 years in power Quick reflections. #hungary #orbán

Some personal news. I was accepted as a Colbert Fellow through the May 21 final show.

Political jokes are sent based on the prior day's news. Recent ones include Trump accidentally liberating the gays of Hormuz & Congress asking AI to write regulation for itself.

Post your ideas below! More soon.

"When push comes to shove, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social will not challenge power," @adamgreen321.bsky.social says to the Trailblaze Podcast.

He "encapsulates the dynamic of...are we an anti-Trump party, or do we have a forward-looking vision that positions itself on the side of working people?"

This week, @adamgreen321.bsky.social of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee gives it to us straight: being progressive means picking a fight with the people who have all the power and refusing to back down. Wall Street, billionaires, systemic racism. No exceptions. (2/3)

Fools

Jasmine Crockett’s loss could finally give the Democrats a fresh start I predicted the left-wing firebrand would win in Texas using the old identity politics playbook. But James Talarico proves the party is ready to write a new one

"Talarico won with his bold populist message. He is willing to criticise both parties, lead with vision, and advocate for taxing billionaires" yes! @evanbarker.bsky.social

Live from Texas! Campaigning for @jamestalarico.bsky.social and workers and against the billionaires! #TXSen

Is it coincidental that Hegseth and Trump were obsessed with automated (non-accountability) war in the hours before bombing Iran?

I feel bad for Dick Cheney. He dreamed of this moment and never got to see it.

The Democratic Party has a choice to make: “Are we content to simply be an anti-Trump party, or will we stand for a larger vision, an economic populist vision for workers, for corporate accountability, for materially improving people's lives?"

@analiliafornj.bsky.social's win isn’t just a New Jersey story. It’s momentum for every primary ahead — and proof that real organizers grow the coalition and bring people back to the polls.

Excellent distinction by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social

Show Pelosi that donor cash....so transparent.

Proud to have gotten out the vote today in Morris county for @analiliafornj.bsky.social @analilia-mejia.bsky.social !

She is an ORGANIZER who ran on bold progressive change for working families -- and challenging powerful interests. Onward!

In NJ, a vert bad night for AIPAC and @searchlightinst.bsky.social @adamjentleson.bsky.social. Big night for progressives and those who are not mealy mouthed on ICE. Go @analiliafornj.bsky.social !

Bezos: Spends $40 million on Melanie movie bribe for Trump and then last off hundreds of journalists. This is what corruption & oligarchy look like.

Democratic leadership need to be waking up every morning with the singular goal of matching the energy of the heroes on the ground in Minnesota.

Good job @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #Snowstorm2026

Aka. Does @adamjentleson.bsky.social and @searchlightinst.bsky.social believe these House Dems repent or is this perfectly ok Big Tent heterodoxy? Times like this are when the heterodoxy tires need to be kicked and clarified.

Wondering what @adamjentleson.bsky.social thinks the role of heterodoxy is in this moment.

Imagine if there were perp walks during the Wall Street collapse the way they are doing right now...

"Donald Trump can't run America. Now he wants to run Venezuela?" - @jayapal.house.gov on @msnownews.bsky.social

Here is what Trump's own Chief Of Staff said in November.

Trump: “They shouldn’t say ‘Oh, gee, maybe it’s not constitutional.’

Trump: “They shouldn’t say ‘Oh, gee, maybe it’s not constitutional.’

John Bolton was on MS saying this is just the first step. His invasion moment is back.

China would say that about Taiwan. Russia could say that about Moldova or Poland. There are laws.

Trump snatching up a foreign president is illegal. Even if that president is despised, this cannot be legitimized. #NoKings.

"We will set an example for the world." - @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.
