COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that? TRUMP: Which one was that? COLLINS: The founder of Binance TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

We asked Donald Trump to cut health care costs. Instead, he cut off a wing of the White House.

why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?

Dems/Ind Senators voting in favor: Coons, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Heinrich, Kaine, Kelly, King (I), Klobuchar, Reed, Schiff, Shaheen, Welch, & Whitehouse. Senators not voting: Duckworth & Tillis

Anand Giridharadas to Andrew Cuomo: "First of all, governor, it's 'Mamdani.' This is a very big, diverse city you want to lead. We should get the names right."

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

Apple is sneaking AI into everything. Turn off enhanced visual search on your photos:

Important reminder for anyone who thinks you can feed photos of Trump through AI filters and believe you’re getting a more accurate picture of reality.

Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.

Them: But it's not fair to say they supported "white supremacy," that's just your woke spin on the past The Past:

Private prison and surveillance companies like Geo Group, CoreCivic, and Palantir just reported massive profits last quarter thanks to lucrative government contracts for Trump's mass deportation machine. All of course donated to Trump's inauguration. They're getting rich off cruelty.

Finnish Pres Alexander Stubb: “For an American audience, the best way to explain it is that if you take the relative land mass of what Russia wants…from Ukraine, it would be a little bit like giving up Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, even Virginia, and then bumping into Maryland.”

The amusing thing about this clip is the infrastructure bill was literally the first and only thing Nancy Mace brought up in terms of her accomplishments in Congress. Her biggest win for her district was legislation she voted against.

Our constitutions are not the same. We have been very proud of always holding elections, no matter what else was going on. I am so tired of Trump shitting on the United States of America.

The thing is, it’s a more important piece of white American history.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

A lot of people are asking why a person needed Real ID to enter an NIH hospital. The reason is that all Federal facilities require this now. Last month, I attended a USCIS Oath Ceremony for new U.S. citizens, and Real ID was required for entry. I brought my passport.

We’re not sure who needs to hear this, but ‘blueberry’ has two b’s.

“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of? The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”

The Constitution dictates that the census is a count "all persons" conducted every "ten years." Donald Trump has no power to alter either the timing or who is counted.

This is what frustrates me about the perennial "how do we reach the public" conversations. Are students--and by extension their parents/families/caregivers--not "the public?" Are classrooms, museums, parks, and historic sites not venues where we can reach the public at scale?

On his decision to end $500M worth of research on mRNA vaccines, RFK Jr. said: “The the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu”. These vaccines saved 3.2M lives in the U.S. He is running a disinformation op against Americans.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

EPSTEIN LATEST: In light of what we released last week from my staff's investigation, I'm handing Trump's DOJ a ready-made case with seven different lines of investigation for them to follow the money on Jeffrey Epstein.

The official numbers just dropped on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Trump officially made the biggest cuts to health care in US history. Trump made the biggest cuts to food stamps in US history. Trump added $4.1T to the debt to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich and corporations.

Remember when the Supreme Court’s rationale for “absolute immunity” was that it would prevent politically motivated investigations against former political opponents?

Funny how all that protect women’s sports energy went out the window as soon as WNBA players showed up with T-shirts bringing awareness to the lack of financial equity they have in their league.

All of this is correct, but also, setting aside "repeal": Demand? Really? "Demand" is what you do when someone else holds power and you have no mechanism to take it from them. If you're RUNNING FOR POLITICAL OFFICE, your messaging is "We will repeal," not "We demand a repeal." This is 101 stuff.

Trump on Powell: “I was surprised he was appointed” (Trump appointed him)

So does the energy and innovation summit in Pittsburgh have any other purpose besides giving Trump a platform to bloviate?

ALERT: Attorney General Pam Bondi is apparently threatening some of those providing medical care to their minor transgender patients. If you receive one of these subpoenas, please reach out, have your lawyer do so, or send me a copy. My email is in bio, as is my Signal.

1/2 You could write a book about one atrocious headline in print NYT today (I sort of wrote this book 30 years ago, Breaking the News, but others can take a turn.) What's wrong this headline? Mamdani "faces scrutiny" **ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY** because NYT decided to make this a "thing." Really bad.

A press secretary who knowingly lies every day to the American people about obvious and irrefutable facts.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

The Trump administration is currently holding hostage nearly $7B in federal funding for K-12 schools--funding that was supposed to be distributed yesterday. They've stolen $80M from Wisconsin students and teachers alone. How much have they stolen from your state? www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Here’s a graph about Medicaid that everyone needs to see: open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people. Nothing trickles down — and the tax cuts don't "pay for themselves."

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

This chart has been widely shared on here, it’s important to see the correction

Listen, @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social address this flagrant, insulting & incendiary racism. Where is the censure motion? Stop jumping at every smear against Mamdani. Focus on what a U.S. Senator is saying abt a key part of your base. www.al.com/politics/202...

Cutting Medicaid means costs are shifted to providers. When patients lose coverage, they turn to ERs for care they can’t afford. Hospitals eat the cost, pass it on to insurers, and your premiums go up. Medicaid cuts mean a worse health care system for EVERYONE.

In Tommy Tuberville's home state of Alabama, 23% of all personal income comes from transfer payments from the federal government. Alabama is the tenth most dependent on federal funding, getting $1.80 in spending back for every $1 its citizens pay in taxes. www.al.com/politics/202...

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Waiting for news outlets and reporters to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, reporting Trump's social media posts on foreign policy without confirmation is deeply irresponsible and an embarrassing failure of journalism.

Even though they’re in the minority, Congressional Democrats have a lot of tools they can use here. In addition to showing up at detention centers etc, Dems can grind the Senate to a halt, push impeachment articles against Noem in the House, and more. Flood the zone.

The Social Security trust fund could be depleted by 2033, according to a new report from its trustees. There's a simple way to fix this: scrap the cap on the Social Security payroll tax. https://youtu.be/GfZuB7XSFys?si=p8Zw3o6MIfQi9xoo

The Trump administration is ending 988 Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ service—which has received over 1.3 million calls, texts, & chats since 2022. The Supreme Court also just upheld a law banning all gender-affirming care for minors. This is just plain cruel and wrong.
