I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisβ€”even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

We used to call him "Mayor Emmanuelle" (in reference to an "adult film" of the 1970s), because, like the old joke about porn scripts, every time you'd turn the page there'd be a new way to get reamed.

I hope not.

By the way, TPM let me spend three days on this, which is what it takes to wade through expensive piles of bullshit white papers. Please consider supporting TPM during our annual membership drive. It is currently 25 percent off! talkingpointsmemo.com/memberships

Songs about excess and pushing boundaries

Elvis Costello, writing about the many, many opportunities to drown your sorrows (and everything else) when you're part of a five-band tour.

I would love to see the Venn diagram between people who decry participation trophies and the people who work for the Trump administration.

Cheyenne, the pup that I found along the highway yesterday and her human family stopped by to visit this afternoon and offer a reward for my help, which I of course refused. As you can see by her smile, that debt is paid in full. 🐢 ❀️

In which John Lennon offers his version of "The Man With the Golden Arm"β€”and when the record slips down the charts, he cites it as one of the reasons for returning his MBE.

This is why primaries matter. You want to move the party, do it now, don't wait till October to start complaining.

I can attest there were people working to break that mold as far back as 1997.

I couldn't be more excited to be taking part in the May 27 "stage transmission" of Programme 4, along with @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social, @frankconniff.bsky.social, @rachellichtman.bsky.social and the proverbial MORE. Chicagolanders should get your tix while you can! www.ticketweb.com/event/progra...

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Remembering the Reverend Raymond Earl Judd Jr. Trinity’s chaplain emeritus served as a guiding light for community members since 1967

"Judd often said a university was a place where people searched for first-hand faith rather than inherited faith, and where questioning was not the enemy of belief but part of it."

RIP to Rev. Raymond Judd.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

Just a reminder that there are still loads of broadcasting outlets who actually love broadcasting and do it wellβ€”please see wdcb.org for an example of a place that will never use AI.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
