Today, @markey.senate.gov and I wrote to Secretary Burgum to oppose this administration’s decision to pay a French company nearly $1 billion to cancel offshore wind facilities off the East Coast. This administration must stop using our tax dollars to prop up the fossil fuel industry.

Trump to a woman reporter: "Wait a minute. You're a fresh person. We've had a lot of problems with you, haven't we?"

Shuler: Rent is still too high. Your paycheck still doesn’t stretch to the end of the month, and you’re still worried that the boss—or the people running this country—don’t give a damn about your family. We’re fed up with an economy that treats workers like an expense to be minimized

Donald Trump has recently devoted himself to demeaning and belittling the UK. Even earlier today. So how does King Charles respond to this rude abuse? By giving Trump a much-needed publicity stunt by agreeing to go to the White House. Does *anyone* have any common sense anymore?

“The order, which voting law experts say violates the Constitution by attempting to seize states’ power to run elections, is the latest in a torrent of efforts from Trump to interfere with the way Americans vote based on his false allegations of fraud.” apnews.com/article/dona...

Did President Trump keep classified documents at Mar-a-Lago to aid his businesses? On a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider, @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss the latest reporting. Listen: cafe.visitlink.me/IxFjxQ

Trump suggests Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices who rule against him are "stupid" and "disloyal"

that's right

Pete Hegseth’s broker tried to line up a multimillion-dollar investment in defense companies just weeks before the US –Israeli attack on Iran. Now it’s blowing up on Hegseth. 🚨 Today House Oversight opened an investigation & wants answers from Hegseth, plus execs at Morgan Stanley and BlackRock.

Thanks @timmiller.bsky.social at @bullwark.bsky.social for playing our song on his #NoKings podcast today! I’ve been a fangirl of Tim’s for a while now-and he’s definitely helping me get through this monstrous and frankly, stupid time. In my mind, I basically just won a Grammy! 💙✊🏽🗽

@timmiller.bsky.social with a message to Democrats: "This is the moment to go on Fox and say to people, 'you signed up for this—for no new wars, for lower costs. And we're in the stupidest war I could possibly think of, and everything is costing more, and it's about to get worse.'"

Thousands of soldiers and Marines have arrived in the Middle East. The GOP congress has abdicated its obligations but that doesn’t mean Democrats can’t raise hell: Cut your vacation short, demand a vote on ground troops. Also: A life lesson for Duke fans. youtu.be/zeQbTjv-VPE

“Trump is now involved in what Lincoln considered the ‘the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions…’ Our elected officials have an obligation not to sit by while a wannabe King plunges us deeper into an unwise and unconstitutional war.” www.thebulwark.com/p/wherefore-...

"All in all, it seems more likely than not that Trump plans on walking away rather than escalating. I think this would be a less bad outcome than introducing ground troops. But it will still be a bad outcome for the United States and the world." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Trump seems to be heading for the exits in Iran. A reckless and damaging “excursion” whose negative economic and strategic effects are mounting and will continue to do so… www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVRw...

“But here’s the problem with the hawks’ posture: You cannot separate the war from the people directing it. I find it hard to believe that the hawks are actually as sanguine as they claim. Are they not seeing the daily chaos?” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-iran-h...

“‘They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…’ One can’t help but wonder who’s going to be left to clean up the mess made by Trump and his enablers.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-iran-h...

So far, 61 House members have decided not to run again, including 39 Republicans and 22 Democrats. The GOP exodus is the largest since 1930 other than in Trump's first midterm year of 2018. (The GOP lost 40 seats that year.) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Holy Hell broke out in Rockland County,NewYork at the town hall meeting of Republican Mike Lawler after some Veterans stood up & told him how they feel about him & Trump! So Lawler decides to have them all kicked out & that made it even worse for him! He finally had to leave! 😲👏💙😎

It’s been a month since the Iran War shut the Strait of Hormuz. If the strait remains closed, oil and gas consumption will have to collapse — but not before prices spike to a level that forces consumers and businesses to cut back. Read more: bloom.bg/411Yx1e 📷️: Miguel Medina/AFP

A new investigation has reportedly backed up evidence given by a woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13.

NEW: Republicans are considering reductions in federal health spending to help pay for a budget bill containing as much as $200 billion to fund the Iran war and immigration enforcement.

Trump starts the week with market manipulation and threats of war crimes

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal:

Donald Trump is reportedly prepared to walk away from the giant toxic turd he dropped in the middle of the street, because, you know, that's what he does best.

US eyes a swift end to war as fresh attacks hit Gulf states and Iran - Reuters • Trump says US will be leaving Iran 'very soon' • President plans national address on Iran • Tehran threatens to target major US companies in retaliation • China and Pakistan urge ceasefire • Heavy strikes in Beirut

I’m gonna tell my grandkids this was Kristi Noem

Yeah I've also noticed this. I think from day one people have underrated how the real trap of this war is the way the interests of the various US-aligned nations diverge. "Trump enrages Iran, hands it Hormuz, walks away" seems like an impossibly dire scenario for Israel and the gulf states.

Lawyers for Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County, CA — a member of the far-right extremist group the Oath Keepers — have been caught apparently using AI to fabricate quotes in their response brief to the lawsuit over Sheriff Bianco's illegal seizure of election ballots.

My proposal: - Abolish the Senate - Proportional representation in the House - Strip the presidency of most of its powers - Turn the Supreme Court into a Constitutional Court without the ability to overturn the legislature - Public financing of elections and limits on political spending

Are there rules about members of the bar publicly lying about the court system when speaking in their official capacity?

"If animals can sense an impending storm through a drop in barometric pressure and other changes to the air, perhaps in politics people can feel a tidal wave when it is approaching."

"We started the dumbest fucking war that you could possibly imagine, and Pete Hegseth...is trying to figure out how he can make a few bucks in his Charles Schwab account." Tim Miller and Jon Lovett on the need to go into Republican spaces and make them own the costs of Trump's war.

If we can’t use our allies’ bases when we launch illegal wars of choice to distract from our leader being a pedo, then what are we even doing in NATO? – Marco Rubio, paraphrased

Whether it’s Barrack Obama wearing a tan suit or it’s Donald Trump attending oral arguments at the Supreme Court for the first time in history, recent presidents are shaking up established norms as America approaches its 250th birthday

Why did the Army suspend the helicopter crew that flew over Kid Rock’s house and appeared in his social media post? Because it became too woke.

STATEMENT ON OUR COMING LAWSUIT TO STOP TRUMP'S ELECTION EO from @lulacorg.bsky.social @democracydefendersfund.org @campaignlegal.org

You really should: 1) read this article (gift link) 2) read the text of the 25th Amendment 3) bang your head against a hard surface for at least 20 minutes www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Not really gamified per se, more like an easy-to-use scheduler I get an app reminder at 10pm, and then go through that day's photos before bed bsky.app/profile/gopc...

Are we building infrastructure there now? 😉

“Two weeks” Everybody drink!

just a few minutes away from Bret Stephens getting another prediction wrong

Whether it’s Kristi Noem getting Mar A Lago face or it’s Bryon Noem wearing enormous fake breasts, the Noems have emerged as unexpected practitioners of gender affirming interventions.

This is what happens when you incompetently turn over the keys to the Pentagon to a simple-minded man-child who is more focused on trolling and looking glamorous on camera than acting with professionalism and legality to protect our troops.

Now TACO Trump wants to walk away while Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, meaning that country gets to decide who transits it with what toll paid to Iran. Art of the Deal!

Elon Musk is facing *another* class action lawsuit alleging he committed civil securities fraud in the run up to his Twitter buyout. This one is in the S. District of NY. Oklahoma Firefighters Pension & Retirement System v. Elon R. Musk et al The investors suing him got class certification today.
