Stauber voted against this project he’s now taking credit for, as Republicans do constantly.

These signs were not created by the real “No Kings” group. Don’t let deceptive messaging confuse or suppress your vote.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

This is the second day in a row he’s said this. This is an intentional normalization effort.

Of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most

Trump: “I didn't call Putin it in front of the European leaders. I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin. I wouldn’t do that.”

Recall: Sugar cookies sold at Target for possible wood pieces The Food and Drug Administration has announced the recall of frosted sugar cookies sold at Target because they could possibly contain pieces of wood.

Republicans drew that map

The mid-decade Texas gerrymander is just the warmup act for everything that Republicans are going to do to rig the midterms.

Apple's device protection plans previously had to be applied within 60 days, but AppleCare One blows past this window with coverage on devices up to four years old after a diagnostic.

For the first time, users of the iPad and Apple Watch can get theft and loss insurance cover for their devices, as Apple revamps its AppleCare options.

The House Republican Caucus is a pedophile protection racket.

Who now thinks SCOTUS is going to go into July?

I thought I saw an Iranian sleeper cell in masks, camo and assault rifles kidnap people from a job site and thrown them into a van, then I realized it was ICE.

NPR sues Trump over executive order to cut funding (CNN) -- National Public Radio filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Trump administration on Tuesday, alleging that President Trump's attempt to defund NPR is a "clear violation of the Constitution."

That looks like the presidential seal on that podium. But I was assured that he was doing this "on his personal time." 🙄

"All of the sudden, out of nowhere"

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

This clearly isn’t legal. He probably thinks this will put pressure on Congress to claw back the money already earmarked for CPB through 2027.
