MENG: Are you going to issue new memo in writing rescinding weaponization fund? BLANCHE: I'm not committing to putting anything in writing. What would the purpose be? M: You established it in writing so it makes sense to rescind it in writing B: Ok. I'm not committing to doing anything in writing

RUBIO: There are time-limited extensions on sanctions waivers SHAHEEN: It's certainly benefitted Russia. Can you commit not to extend them? RUBIO: It depends. These are time-limited waivers SHAHEEN: But if we continue to extend them, they are not time-limited

👏‼️ Raise 'em high! It's time the media gave Trump a taste of his own medicine. The only way to beat a bully is to stand up to him. When he goes low, give him a shot of reality, and watch him crumble. The first reporter who stands up to him get my vote for a Pulitzer. Who else?

Trump: "The New York Times wrote a story today entitled, 'Trump Administration Sees Striking Exodus of Legal Talent,' as though that’s a bad thing, when actually, it’s very good."

Ossoff: "Speaking of corruption, my 2 opponents. They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach who's only a coach bc his daddy was a coach ... they're both Trump puppets and we'll beat either one"

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "I don't think a Republican can win in California, unless you pass the SAVE America Act. Then they're gonna have to show proof of citizenship, they're gonna have to get rid of their mail in voting. No other country -- France used to do it, and then ended it because it was rigged."

On this day in 1923, a Jewish woman was born in Leipzig. Living in Prague, on the 30 Nov 1941 she was deported to Theresienstadt with her parents and sister (17) and on the 12 Jun 1942 to Trawniki concentration camp, where they all perished. Her name was Ellen Eisnerová

On this day in 1851, Sojourner Truth, a suffragist and abolitionist from New York, spoke at the Ohio Woman’s Rights Convention in Akron. She probably never used the refrain “Ain’t I a Woman,” but she did mock white men who opposed women’s rights. #WeTheMen blogs.loc.gov/headlinesand...

"We should be clear: Bari Weiss is murdering 60 Minutes. She is doing so not out of incompetence or foolishness, but with malice aforethought. She is doing it at the behest of her corporate patron."

If you heard a loud boom near Boston Harbor on Thursday, it wasn't thunder. The USS Constitution sailed from Charlestown and fired a ceremonial salute off Fort Independence at Castle Island. 📸: @CamiMakula

Where are Kid Rock & Lee Greenwood when you really need them?

Soon after winning the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff, Ken Paxton attacked Democratic nominee, state Rep. James Talarico as "too low-T for Texas," putting manhood front and center in the race. n.pr/4a5uElp

One down. Minnesota isn't playing games.

Rep. Stansbury: "The [DOJ] is intervening on behalf of Pam Bondi to stop her from answering questions about what happened…and her conversations with Donald Trump…This is a cover-up. This will be remembered as the largest cover-up likely in American history."

Thanks to my friend Richard Gere, who’s championing my bill that would elevate the Central Tibetan Administration & give them the power to negotiate with China. The Tibetan people have the right to choose who governs them. It’s time we exercise our power to uphold that right.

Trump bought stock in the UFC’s parent company while promoting fights set to take place at the White House on his birthday, HuffPost has learned

Trump wears tons of makeup, loves interior decorating, his favorite band is the Village People, and he can’t stop talking about how hot guys are. Just an observation. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump: I wish I looked just like Jaxson Dart. Is he a male model? He is a handsome guy, a beautiful guy. Conservative guy. He said, I love you, sir. When Jaxson gets harassed a little bit, he's also is loved more because we have more people than they do.

In which the president of the United States is interviewed by his daughter-in-law, a Fox contributor-turned RNC chair-turned Fox host.

BREAKING: For the 59th time since early March, Trump says he's close to a deal with Iran

MacFarlane: $250 — who’d be carrying around that kind of bill in their wallet to begin with? It seems ornate. It seems like something royalty would carry, but at the same time, it’d be barely enough to cover the grocery bill for a family of four or five each week because prices are so high.

Mamdani: "Govt efficiency — these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are R priorities, when in fact they're priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. Any yet, Elon Musk used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people"

“In effect, today’s corporations and wealthy are hoarding the society’s resources for themselves, while starving the treasury of funds that are badly needed for repairing and strengthening the society on which their wealth depends.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Good morning Seattle. Welcome your new neighbor. Zuckerberg’s $300M megayacht arrived in Seattle just hours after layoffs impacting roughly 1,400 employees in King County were announced by Meta. This vessel drew crowds and criticism as it traveled through the Ballard Locks toward Lake Union. WTF 🤬

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

Whether it's Kamala Harris spending $300 of her own money on Le Creuset cookware enameled with porcelain or Donald Trump spending $100 million of taxpayer money on shrines to himself plated with gold, both candidates made some puzzling expenditures.

Zohran Mamdani is right. Bezos must pay his fair share in taxes.

I for one would love to watch new blue dots be created from first principles. International hub=>diversity and business growth=>urban area=>the kinds of pressures and needs that turn, on average, urban voters blue. All that aside from the supposed blue migration.

JUST IN: Martina McBride announces she will NOT perform at the Trump Freedom 250 event, saying she was misled — echoing claims made by several other artists who were listed as participants.

No living US president has had their face on US currency in 150 years since Congress passed a law banning it. Because that’s what dictators and autocrats do.

We need to boycott the advertisers on CBS. Let's start with one company that can be impacted. And don’t buy anything they're selling. And we have to let CBS and other companies know that this is a two-way street. They have to feel that.

So, apparently you can alter history. At least you can try.

Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture. I can say with complete confidence that this is white trash culture. 

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

A start. Now, let’s see increasing the Supremes to 13, term limits for Supremes, and enforceable ethics codes. Age limit for Presidents and members of Congress. Restoring the safety, environmental, scientific and health care provisions currently lost. Limits on Pres pardon power, and many more.
