As Amy Klobuchar said: I just want this to stop. During the campaign, Trump called Kamala Harris everything from “fascist” to “radical left communist fascist.” Meanwhile, the Justice Department quietly took down data showing most ideological murders come from right-wing extremists.

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension wasn’t “cancel culture.” It was government coercion. Brendan Carr told Benny Johnson, “we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” and affiliates panicked. Regulatory threats can’t be the answer to speech we don’t like. If we let this stand, no voice is safe.

Quick episode of Raging Moderates with Jess to talk about the Kimmel situation. @ragingmoderates.bsky.social @jessicatarlov.bsky.social youtu.be/yhED8iKxxLo?...

Sounds a lot like extortion to me.

If you do your job with integrity, you have no role in the Trump administration.

The Epstein cover-up is growing, even the FBI Director seems to be in on it. We break it down. Make sure to subscribe and spread the word: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5rX...

The party of free speech strikes again

Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to fill the America First gap right now and people need to take notice. Why we’ve had it with MAGA:

The White House’s excuses concerning the Epstein birthday book are becoming harder and harder to believe. We discuss:

Donald Trump cannot win an election with just the "socialism is bad" argument. People are watching grocery prices rise, seeing healthcare premiums go up, and witnessing the Epstein chaos in Washington. That's Trump's fault, not anyone else's.

Republicans aren’t running for an agenda in 2026, they are running from one. Even JD Vance admits they’re in bad position. They are underwater across the board with voters and their signature legislation has a -22 approval rating.

UFC 250 came early.

The administration is not living in the real world.

This morning's job numbers were a big disappointment, so much so that even Kevin Hassett admitted it. Donald Trump was elected because he was supposed to be good for the economy. Turns out, he's the opposite.

The fight over vaccines has galvanized the political arena in ways we have not seen before. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents are becoming united against RFK Jr. Learn more: www.youtube.com/@RagingModer...

More than 10 survivors today, some Republicans, spoke out today. Minutes later, Trump repeats this horrible lie that even some of his supporters don’t believe.

Right now, no Republican in a swing district can hold a town hall because everyone in their district is showing up to scream at them. Democrats have a clear message: Republicans are cutting healthcare and jacking up the cost of living. It does not bode well for them heading into 2026.

Brilliant.

Get ready for this to happen when Trump deploys the Guard to Chicago.

Gavin Newsom is not imitating Trump. He is mocking him. He is holding up a mirror to what Trump does and how blind his supporters are to reality. From the 3 hour North Korean style cabinet meetings to all caps nonsense tweets. It’s all worthy of mockery.

This notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not true. Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. There was a special election in Iowa earlier this week and the Democrats have now broken the Republican super majority.

Then you could stop defunding mental health programs and back red flag laws. Simple!

Let's say a Democratic president had absolutely no respect for congress, a coequal branch, appropriating funds, tariff policy. Let's say that a Democrat was deploying the National Guard to cities controlled by Republicans.

Trump would rather we kick and scream over deploying the National Guard vs talk about the Jeffrey Epstein files or his falling approval ratings. He’s playing games with the National Guard and distracting his supporters while doing so.

I don’t want to hear a single word about Democrats and socialism ever again. EVER.

New episode of the Raging Moderates is out now! This week I spoke with Greg Gutfeld about how the Pandemic has impacted us all, we unpacked Eddington (see it!), and talked throwing elbows on the Five. Tune in today: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

For this week’s No Mercy / No Malice, I asked Jessica Tarlov to reflect on what she’s learned over the past 12 months as my co-host on Raging Moderates and explore how the Democratic Party can rebuild trust among disenchanted voters. @jessicatarlov.bsky.social @ragingmoderates.bsky.social

Republicans say the Biden Administration weaponized the DOJ, but there's no one Democrats dislike more than Attorney General Merrick Garland. Whether or not Bolton is charged, what's happening right now is the definition of weaponization. Just listen to how JD Vance talks about the investigation.

Some people may not like how Gavin Newsom is talking. You may not find his posts funny. But, here's the deal: It is absolutely working. And, he's putting Donald Trump on the defense.

The American people did not elect Donald Trump to become the curator of the Smithsonian - they elected him to lower costs. We have to talk about the horrors of slavery for what they are. They already tried this with the Florida curriculum that taught the ‘benefits’ of slavery for black people.

Donald Trump's tariffs are forcing prices to rise. Here's what we learned today: John Deere announced layoffs. PepsiCo will increase prices by 10%. Sony is raising PS5 prices in the U.S. by $50 across all models. Electric bills are up 10% so far this year.

What’s happening in Texas is very unusual—and what Americans are facing right now is completely unchecked power. From Congress to the Courts there is a lot at stake here. Democrats need to fight back right now.

“Vladimir Putin wants to do this deal for me”

Where are the Epstein Files?

Donald Trump says he tells it like it is. But, when he says inflation is “cooling where we want it.,” the reality is wholesale inflation just hit its highest in 3 years. Meanwhile, 44% of families say they’ll need to take on debt just to send their kids back to school.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet today in Alaska and even Hillary Clinton sees a path toward a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump (but it’s going to take a lot). Here’s how: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

The Golden Age strikes again!

Donald Trump’s argument that Democrats have failed to take care of blue cities does resonate with 80%+ of the American population. These are real 80/20 issues that the majority of Americans actually agree on. Whether Trump is telling the truth, however, is a different story.

Shane Goldmacher of @nytimes.com joins @jessicatarlov.bsky.social to discuss Trump’s crackdown on DC. Watch here 👇🏽

Donald Trump is obsessed with controlling every part of American life and the takeover of DC is no different. He cut a billion dollars from its budget and is more concerned with a show of force than getting results. Is crime a problem? Sure. Is this the solution? Absolutely not.

He’s doing everything EXCEPT releasing the Epstein files.

He’s going to take over DC to avoid talking about Epstein.

Today, Mallory McMorrow shared with us her definition of the new American dream and why she’s running for Senate to make sure every American has an opportunity to succeed in our nation:

Kristi Noem is so desperate to find ICE agents that she’s lifting age caps and giving out bonuses while a majority they arrest have never even been convicted of a crime. Republicans are facing backlash for boosting ICE funding while cutting health care. Just take a look at Mike Flood’s town hall.

Despite what Trump claims, there’s no manufacturing boom—we’ve lost 11,000 manufacturing jobs in just the last month alone and the industry contracted at its fastest pace in the last nine months. The hundreds of billions in investment? Just an “intention”

The Democrats didn’t start this redistricting war. A President who knows he’s losing did. It was a Republican governor who approved the maps in Massachusetts, with input from a bipartisan commission. Sometimes Republicans lose. Sometimes Democrats lose. It doesn't always mean things are unfair.

The Jeffrey Epstein story is not going away, no matter how much the White House wants it to. Why? As James Carville says, it’s a story that every American can unite against.

I also didn’t hear outrage when Mike Johnson decided to clock out early, saying Congress wasn’t in session because he didn’t want to vote on releasing the Epstein files. If you’re going to blast people for bailing on their jobs, at least be equal opportunity about it.

Donald Trump’s most consequential legacy is his war on the truth. From jobs reports to the news to election outcomes, he has poisoned the minds of millions of Americans. And it’s only getting worse.
