This is still infuriating, still an obvious example of why this hateful man never belonged near the levers of power.

Trump’s “the stain, I’m the bleach.”

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

A Florida Republican Sheriff, Grady Judd, announced the arrest of 266 defendants in a sex trafficking scheme & minced no words. He identified influencer Craig Long, who he said moved in high circles including with the president, holding up a picture of Long with Trump www.youtube.com/watch?v=x03q...

"Stocks just had a great month because they previously had a terrible month." That’s not a boom; that’s a rebound from a scare.

Trump’s meme coin peaked last year at over $45 just after it launched. Its value has since crashed 95%, destroying billions in wealth for millions of average Americans tricked into buying the token. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

How is it that so many companies with ties to the Trump children intersect with so many US-financed enterprises? Democrats need to take a financial forensic autopsy to every single deal that involves American taxpayer dollars and the First Family. thewatchdogreport.substack.com/p/the-list-s...

Spirit specifically cited why they couldn’t stay in business: skyrocketing fuel costs due to Trump’s war. And the Trump admin is still trying to blame Biden for everything?! It’s May 2026. Trump was the “I’ll make everything cheaper on day 1” guy. The “no new wars” guy. Own your actions.

"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." —John Lewis

I don’t trade stocks, don’t take corporate PAC money, and publish my official schedule for all to see. Americans deserve transparency and accountability. I’m fighting to make this the standard in Washington, so there’s never any doubt your leaders are working for you.

curious how Trump decided to attack NATO right after his long phone call with Putin

This is sad and unacceptable for people who want to serve on our judiciary OP: @couriernewsroom

Trump said "86" is a mob term because of "the movies." We checked the tape.

#ICYMI: Another disruptive nationwide ruling from the Fifth Circuit last night—this one to require, on a *nationwide* basis, that any dispensation of mifepristone be after an *in-person* doctor visit. Danco Labs has already sought emergency relief from the full Fifth Circuit, so this'll move fast:

Donald Trump has nearly tripled his net worth since being elected president a second time. The Trump family is also taking in billions from foreign governments and profiting off of the presidency itself, violating the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. trib.al/ongt4fe

A whole new level of megalomania…Trump is now comparing himself to Alexander the Great, Caesar and Napoleon. The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser on today’s “:To the Contrary” Podcast:

So fucking stupid. And reckless. Per usual. Putin is sending Trump a thank you note now. Our enemies are celebrating. Again.

It's been 60 days since the President started his illegal war with Iran. According to the law, he must withdraw troops NOW.

"If they're gonna be fair and balanced and go after Hunter Biden, maybe they should do some scrutiny of this. That might be something for Bret Baier to consider." Tim Miller on Fox News’ very selective concern about presidential-family influence peddling.

The GOP’s election-year priorities: ballrooms & chandeliers for him, $6 gas for you.

🔥 WOW — ex Knoxville REPUBLICAN state House Rep Eddie Mannis: “The special session being called by @GovBillLee is shameful and absurd… should offend every Tennessean… they are afraid of the midterm results…. shameful, anti-democratic, a betrayal of the public trust…” @marshablackburn

he thinks this makes him look good lol

If you don’t vote in midterm elections because there’s no presidential option on the ballot, you’re missing the plot. This November will be the most consequential midterm election of your life.

Deny Ukraine membership in NATO, cut aid to Ukraine, promise Putin Donbas, praise Putin after he helps Iran, and now consider pulling troops out of Germany. How many gifts can Trump give Putin?

Our country’s national debt now exceeds 100% of our GDP. We’re told there’s “no money for food assistance, no money for our vets, no money for the environment, for healthcare, for education, for science or medical research.” But somehow, some-fucking-how, we have $400M for a goddamn ballroom?

Some good news! Republican Governor Brian Kemp says that Georgia will not redraw new district maps or cancel the state’s primary elections. Cue the MAGA meltdown and a rant from Donald…

When it comes to crypto, the fox is in charge of the hen house. The Trump admin has ended dozens of SEC crypto investigations—to the direct financial benefits of his family members and friends. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

i don't know man i think congress has granted approval to wars before

Trump can't come up with the name of the leader of Iraq: "I spoke with the winner. A very good man. As you know, I was very strongly in favor of him, in Iraq. The new head of Iraq."

Regular panelist @keithboykin.bsky.social says @ScottJenningsKY should be fired from the @abbydphillip @CNN show for his temper tantrum towards @adammockler.com tonight👇🏽 (For context, Mockler has made a habit out of arguing circles around Jennings)

⛽️ The average price of a gallon of gas hit $4.39 this morning — up 9¢ in just 24 hours, and 47% higher than before the Iran war. A month ago, it was $4.06. A year ago, it was $3.19. This is ALL Trump’s fault! 😡

“Trump’s grip on the Republican Party faces these challenges” Stop it. Trump could waddle naked across the South Lawn screaming about how Obama was spying on him from inside the White House microwave, and the GOP would clap like obedient seals.

The US debt now exceeds 100% of the gross domestic product, an unthinkable threshold that only happened once before, at the end of WWII. This admin is spending $1.33 for every dollar it collects. The 1 year budget deficit this year is projected at $1.9 trillion. They said they would reduce the debt.

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

ExxonMobil and Chevron are defying calls from the Trump White House to increase oil production as prices soar because of the Iran war. "The crisis has not prompted any change to any of our plans." www.ft.com/content/2a02...

(NBC News) - Iran is taking advantage of the ceasefire with the U.S. to dig out its weapons, according to a U.S. official and two other people familiar with the matter. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

But I was told that Trump would be good for the economy

Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face” Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions of dollars more in debt.

The only thing consistent here is the inconsistency.

We don’t talk enough about how weird—just weird!—it is that so many GOP and admin officials spend so much time just standing around the Oval watching Trump do stuff. All of these people have jobs! Sometimes important ones! But just being the awkward backdrop of the Mad King’s rantings matters more.

Sorry but with everything going on I really don’t need to hear about golfers this extensively.

Iran's Ayatollah just said Americans belong "at the bottom" of the Persian Gulf. Trump responded by posting QAnon memes and complaining about Jimmy Kimmel. Inflation hit a 3-year high. Oil broke $120/barrel. A GOP congressman gave Trump an "E for effort" on the economy. Full midday recap is up.

In Dec 2021, Nicole Saphier — a Fox contributor now tapped as Trump's surgeon general nominee — argued that "it is time to move forward and allow this mild infection to circulate so we can continue to build that hybrid immunity." 250,000 Americans died of covid in 2022.

Trump: "Anybody running for President or VP should be forced to take a Cognitive Examination! By doing so, we wouldn’t be surprised at people like Barack 'Hussein' Obama, or Sleepy Joe Biden, getting 'ELECTED.' I took the Exam three times during my ('THREE!') Terms as President"

WARREN: Do you have any explanation for these perfectly timed spikes in trading activity other than insider trading? HEGSETH: Everything we've done is completely above board WARREN: What does that mean? HEGSETH: I'm focused on doing my job W: You're not paying attention to this insider trading?

Hegseth, who texted war plans to a group chat (including a reporter!) on Signal: "No one has taken operational security more seriously than us"
