I miss the days when FBI Directors caught mass shooters and didn’t fly to wresting events on a government jet to watch their girlfriend sing.

I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political". Sure, but they'll broadcast every minute of Trump's propaganda bullshit. 🙄

Days after the Netflix deal, Paramount announced it was launching a hostile takeover bid, appealing directly to Warner Bros. shareholders to overturn the decision. That bid would put CNN in the hands of David Ellison, who has spent the last several months remaking CBS News in Trump’s image.

Four House Republicans just defied Mike Johnson and forced a vote to extend ACA subsidies. Another day, another Speaker Johnson loss of control of the House floor. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

🚨NEWS: There has been a big uptick in investors shorting AI companies - using the kind of credit default swaps that proliferated in the lead up to the Big Short and the financial crisis.

"Not since the ransacking of the Library of Alexandria have we witnessed such a wanton, intentional assault on scientific knowledge."

Conditions at the Northwest Detention Center are unacceptable—and a year of Trump's cruel mass deportation campaign has made the situation far worse.   I'm sounding the alarm on overcrowding, lack of medical care, food, & more at ICE facilities. We need answers and accountability.

I love that American nationalists think other countries should give America their oil.

"We must inform the public of the danger that their antiscience campaign poses to all of us, and massively mobilize voters for a mid-term election that could determine the future course of science, democracy and our planet. It’s not game over. It’s game on."

Rep. Sarah McBride denounced the Republican Party’s “obsession” with trans people as they prepare to vote on two high-profile bills — one proposing a national felony ban on trans youth healthcare and another seeking to bar Medicaid coverage.

And because we need to hear from Carl at moments like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTaE...

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Ah, the deadline to release the Epstein files but be soon!

Minnesota Republican Representative Tom Emmer was asked directly if he agreed with President Trump’s assessment that the thousands of Somali residents he represents are “garbage.” He couldn’t give a straight answer. trib.al/Y59q32v

America needs to ponder its priorities. Americans don't have decent health care, or parental leave, or even guaranteed time off work. Your taxes are high because you support unlimited military spending.

Yesterday, I told you that my law firm is litigating 66 voting and election cases in 35 states. By the end of today, it is up to 69 cases in 37 states. The 2026 midterm elections will be a fight to protect democracy. I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Laura Loomer calls for the "eradication" of Palestine. When you use Twitter this is what you're supporting. This is why the institutions and elected officials need to leave Elon Musk's hate app.

🧵Speaking truth to power is never easy. I haven't spoken publicly much about the personal toll of my choice to speak out about my time working on election integrity issues at Facebook. But I was willing to share some details here. Despite the ensuing challenges, I say unequivocally: No regrets. 1/4

No judge. No jury. Just the Secretary of War.

The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

Sending love to my Muslim friends right now. And wishing everyone spewing hateful drivel against my Muslim friends the day you deserve.

Harvard’s Pricing Lab data shows that goods prices – which were previously declining – have been on the rise since Trump started his trade war. Even domestic goods prices rose, though by a smaller amount.

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

“Over the last year, President Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country,” Senator Chris Murphy said. trib.al/KjeDBWF

Trump’s disastrous admissions in this interview reveal again that he is profoundly, catastrophically unfit to be making any of these decisions. trib.al/ixhrhvB

Rob Reiner was the consummate storyteller. Over and over, he revealed us to ourselves: what it is to be young and have friends, to fall in love, to feel misery and vengeance, to feel alive. And the laughs. So many laughs. The loss of Rob Reiner is... inconceivable.

This entire weekend

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the GUNS -Joann Duman

Fact-check: true

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats. But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

this post 👇 ended up being timely today since Karoline Leavitt was finally asked what's going on with Trump's hand hours after it went up

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Interesting. I was told I would be completely discredited when the evidence comes out. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Yesterday I argued in the Supreme Court to defend a 50 year old law that prevent corruption in our campaign finance system. Meanwhile, Republicans are attacking the 60 year old Voting Rights Act in SCOTUS as well. We won't let them gut democracy without a fight.

Bernie Sanders: What we see time and time again is Donald Trump acting in a kleptocratic way out of self-interest, not the interest of the American People.

Half of House Democrats just voted for a bill that legally defines trans women as men and trans men as women.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to either save the ACA tax credits or not. This will determine if premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans. Pay attention to see if Republicans vote to help or hurt regular Americans.

Healthcare for profit is evil as it is but "want patients to become consumers" is just despicable.
