⬆️ @woozle@toot.cat >> Okay, so you are in fact saying that they're not well-intentioned -- that basically nobody in the Democratic Party is well intentioned… Are you including #AOC? #Mamdani? Is #BernieSanders selling his soul by caucusing with them? Is #ElizabethWarren a #Republican at heart? None of the names you mentioned fit in the class of "actually well-intentioned but misled." You never answered: misled by whom and why can't they sort through deza? @ashwin@defcon.social @claralistensprechen3rd @SeanCasten@mastodon.social

#ElizabethWarren is not happy with the administration’s #Cyclospora response: “Indeed, Taco Bell provided earlier and seemingly clearer guidance to consumers than the Food and Drug Administration (#FDA), #CDC, and other federal food safety agencies,” Warren wrote.

Democratic Sens. #ElizabethWarren & #RichardBlumenthal are calling for the Securities & Exchange Commission to investigate #Trump’s #memecoin “to detect any illegal #fraud or unjust enrichment that the coin may have facilitated.” “We are concerned that President Trump’s memecoin scheme may constitute an #illegal #scam,” Warren & Blumenthal wrote on Monday to #SEC Chair Paul Atkins. #criminal #law #felon47

Variety | Jeff Bezos Defends ‘Melania’ Documentary as a ‘Very Good Business Decision,’ Denies It Was a ‘Way of Buying Influence’ With Trump Administration by Todd Spangler AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeff Bezos told CNBC that Amazon MGM Studios’ $40 million purchase and $35 million marketing spend on the “Melania” documentary was a straightforward business decision—not an attempt to buy influence with the Trump administration—and he denied any personal involvement in the deal. He said the film performed well in theaters and on streaming, despite grossing only about $16.6 million worldwide, and dismissed claims that the acquisition was a “bribery” scheme. Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have criticized the deal as an over‑priced, pay‑to‑play arrangement, noting Amazon’s offer was $26 million above Disney’s and urging an investigation under federal anti‑bribery law. Amazon’s vice‑president of public policy responded that the film was licensed after a competitive bidding process because of its cultural and historical relevance, not for political purposes.

Mother Jones | The President May Settle His Own Lawsuit With Your Money by Sophie Hurwitz AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The DOJ is reportedly weighing a settlement of Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS that could channel roughly $10 billion of taxpayer money into Trump’s personal coffers; the suit, filed by Trump and his sons in January, alleges the IRS failed to halt a contractor’s illegal release of his tax returns, raising conflict‑of‑interest concerns because Trump oversees the agency he is suing and the Justice Department is led by his former personal lawyer. A potential agreement would also require the IRS to drop all current and future audits of Trump, his family and businesses, prompting Democratic lawmakers to introduce legislation barring the president, vice president and their relatives from receiving government settlement payments, a move championed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. This follows a prior effort by Trump in October 2025 to seek $230 million from the Justice Department over the seizure of classified documents and an earlier Russia‑probe investigation, which he summed up as “awfully strange…to make a decision where I’m paying myself.” Read more: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/05/the-president-may-settle-his-own-lawsuit-with-your-money/ #DonaldTrump #DOJ #IRS #ElizabethWarren #Mar_a_Lago #corruption #mojowire #politics

Salon.com | Trump wants do-over of failed airline fantasy — at taxpayers’ expense by Heather Digby Parton AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Trump is proposing a taxpayer‑funded takeover of Spirit Airlines, which is facing bankruptcy and a possible $500 million government bailout, echoing his earlier, failed venture with the Trump Shuttle airline in the early 1990s that collapsed amid high fuel costs and a weakening corporate market. Critics from both parties—including Senators Tom Cotton, Ted Budd, Elizabeth Warren, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—argue that Spirit is unsalvageable and that using public money to prop up a struggling private carrier would repeat past mistakes of bailouts that benefited executives rather than the public. The commentary frames the plan as another example of Trump’s “right‑wing‑socialism” approach of privatizing the state while socializing private losses, warning that such a move would add to the nation’s mounting economic challenges and could result in a taxpayer‑burdened “national joke” airline.
