One of my favorite venues, and always before a hot, packed crowd.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

There are two NONSENSE stories circulating today and I don't want to read another word about them. 1) Rumors of more GOP House retirements soon 2) Rumors of Patel firing. I don't want to hear it. At all. It's gossipy. If it happens? Then tell me more. Let's deal with what is really going on!!

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

Republican senator now publicly defending Mark Kelly

🚨BREAKING: Wisconsin Supreme Court APPOINTS three-judge panel to hear lawsuit brought by my law firm on behalf of voters seeking new congressional boundaries in time for the 2026 election. www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

@lorennacleary.bsky.social Just started watching it. They showed the Katy Perry scene from American Idol where she burst into tears and shouted, "This country has f---ing failed us!" Instant tears on my end.

After last year's Mania week... I got a sense that you guys were going to do more with West Coast Pro (and Deadlock and Prestige), so this news is welcome and I was hoping to see it come to fruition!

They are really treading on thin ice here. Even if a document is privileged, the fact of its existence is not.

Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Lindsey Halligan’s law license is in serious jeopardy, looking to join a long list of disbarred and disciplined Trump attorneys.

Jeffrey Epstein survivors released a new video urging Congress to vote to release the Epstein files

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

@prowrestlingnet.bsky.social Sheanus vs JeVon Evans????

@radiofreetom.bsky.social I had not heard of "Threads" before but after listening to the podcast, I watched it today. It streams free on Tubi. WOW. I saw "A Day After" when I was 10 in 1983 and I remember the buzz over that... but somehow never heard of Threads. Thanks for the advice to see it.

Mistake. Buy him out, give Jim Leonard whatever he wants, and rebuild the culture.

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team Details TK

I would just like to ask the Republican Party to please put Stephen Miller in front cameras as much as possible from now until the midterms because he is such a likable & charismatic person with so many amazing & popular ideas for people who aren’t white Christian nationalists.

@lorennacleary.bsky.social When you look at the county-by-county results tonight... it really makes me wonder how many House seats could have been picked up if the 435 seats were all up today.

The video needs to be viewed. And there needs to be questions asked about how the video shows something completely different than the narrative from ICE.

Judge Cannon Ordered to Get Moving on Jack Smith’s Trump Report newrepublic.com/post/202613/...

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

Part of me would like to believe that Brett Kavanaugh was in a gnarly mood today because he knows he bears moral responsibility for all these violent kidnappings of US citizens. But probably he was just trying to do the bidding of someone who might pay off his debts.

This looks great for AEW. Clearly all of their stock was raised so much from wrestling there that WWE made them all champions.

In response to the Washington Post defending Trump’s bulldozing the East Wing of the WH, I canceled my subscription to the paper I’ve read since growing up in Northern Virginia.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

No secret wars.

In a brilliant example of the Streisand Effect, he managed to call international attention to the words of Ronald Reagan, highlighting his massive break with the conservative icon. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

He has to at least experience the inside of a jail cell for committing Contempt via—of all things—Assault. If he is not locked up briefly (24 hours) he is not going to understand the severity of his conduct, nor will anyone in his entire organization.

Government officials have seemingly discouraged people from seeing and sharing the East Wing demolition, but journalists have made sure it has been seen, through photos, videos, live feeds and even satellite images. The teardown was too big to hide cnn.it/47FzxRht

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean. 6 people dead this time. Not a single arrest made. Not an ounce recovered. Not a shred of evidence provided.

Also as I understand it the Reagan ad was run by Ontario Province, not by Canada’s federal government or privy council or whatever. Imagine if countries cut off trade with us because of shit Alabama or Vermont did.

In Abrego criminal case, govt will not object to defense subpoenaing former AUSA Ben Schrader, who apparently quit over the decision to indict Abrego, to testify at the vindictive prosecution hearing. Govt *is* fighting production of emails & memos about why Schrader declined to charge the case.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

The most symbolically important building in Washington DC today. When the British burned the White House to the ground during the War of 1812, President Madison decamped to the Octagon House. I went by it today to check on it. No part has been bulldozed.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

North Carolina will be sued.

🚨 Married GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales allegedly had an affair with his senior aide, Regina Aviles — who was found dead after she supposedly doused herself in gasoline and set herself on fire, per The Daily Mail. Uvalde Police are blocking release of the 911 call, video & records. (Daily Mail)

Former DOJ Lawyer Says He Was Ordered to Lie About Ábrego García newrepublic.com/post/201992/...

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.” Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

Justice Department whistleblower Erez Reuveni says he was fired after refusing to lie to the court. He sits down with Scott Pelley in his first television interview. Tonight on 60 Minutes.

George. The Cava bag. Omg.

George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump. The other nine were also all convicted of various criminal charges:

I have said all year that George Santos was going to be released from prison before Jan. 20, 2029. I didn't expect it this quickly, but anyone who was paying attention knew this was coming.

This. The strikes in the Caribbean are just lawless, gratuitous, performative slaughter.
