NEW: Democrats win another special election by a LOT. Harris won here by 1% in 2024.

BREAKING: Democrat Chedrick Greene, a firefighter, just won the pivotal special election in Michigan's 35th Senate District. Greene is currently leading by more than 20 points. Kamala Harris won this district by less than one point in 2024.

Offering an elected senator a “financial windfall” to switch parties isn’t politics, it’s bribery.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Sen. Sherrod Brown wins Ohio Democratic primary for US Senate, setting up race seen as crucial for national party.

When Rudy Giuliani dies, remember that he won't be able to see the mean things you post about him. But the rapidly decomposing president who sees him as a political partner and who's worried about his own impending death absolutely will.

NEW: Marco Rubio is flying to the Vatican on Thursday with Cuba at the top of his agenda, USA Today reports. He appears to be looking for preemptive papal cover before any U.S. military action against Havana. Make no mistake — Pope Leo XIV is going to send him home empty-handed.

A perceptive piece by @parkermolloy.com: "Shining a sympathetic spotlight on Carlson now does the work of laundering his reputation for the next time he attacks [his] next target. The infighting on the right is useful. Boosting the people doing it is not." open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

Without giving too much away, this is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). It’s a screening tool, not a test. It takes 15-20 minutes to administer .

A new report this morning revealed historic levels abuse by ICE against detainees. And the government was documenting it all. www.adamkinzinger.com/p/top-news-c...

We are witnessing a catastrophic collision between unchecked narcissism and obvious neurological decay. It is the most dangerous intersection in American history: a man with the absolute power of the Presidency and the absolute cognitive failure of a person no longer tethered to reality.

Two US soldiers have gone missing during a training exercise in Morocco called “African Lion.” The Pentagon says it’s using all available resources, including ground, air, maritime, mountaineers, and divers.

Trump and the GOP don’t care about the constitution. They only care about power. We will fight them tooth and nail to protect voters and free and fair elections.

Trump Friday: maybe we’re better off not making a deal with Iran Trump Saturday: I’ve rejected Iran’s ridiculous proposal Trump this morning: we very well could resume strikes on Iran Trump right before futures open: talks very positive! US will escort ships through Strait! 🙄

Thank you, Dear Internet, for always bringing me a silver lining. 🙏🏼

it's Sunday evening, and those markets aren't going to manipulate themselves, so ...

I’m old enough to remember *last week* when Republicans were claiming that incendiary rhetoric from Democrats caused the incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner So I’m sure they’ll all condemn this post from Trump, right?

I must be going to different restaurants. I have never been asked to show ID to eat.

The White House def activated the blue checkmarks to blame Biden for Spirit airlines. Amazing how he takes credit for anything good and never takes blame for anything bad. The most helpless, victim, snowflake ever to be president

Imagine being one of those “genocide joe” and “Holocaust Harris” folks who didn’t vote for Harris and are now dealing g with all of this crap. Screw them too. It’s time to get over yourselves and help us defeat maga.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

🔥 @timmiller.bsky.social : “You can’t tell me it’s a real democracy if by exec order the governor can nullify your vote… in Tennessee — the idea that NASHVILLE & MEMPHIS would not have representation? How is that democracy? That’s preposterous.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

A little more transparency from our elected officials New U.S. House bill would require Members of Congress to release their tax returns Candidates for Congress too

RUN AWAYYYYY

It's not so much that Trump talks up his ballroom every time a microphone gets near him, it's that he has zero self awareness of how out of touch that sounds. This whole presidency is like one of those timeshare presentations that won't let you leave.

Katie Phang sued Todd Blanche this week, alleging his failure to turn over the Epstein Files interferes with her ability to report. Read her explanation of the lawsuit, what she hopes to accomplish & what comes next: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Historic: More voters blame Trump (77%) for gas prices rising than ever blamed Bush, Obama or Biden. A rare majority trifecta of Dems (95%), Indies (82%) and GOP (55%) now blame Trump. And unlike what Trump/Rick Scott argue, 64% say the war hasn't been worth higher gas prices.”

The six Supreme Court Justices who stole the votes and voices of Americans and irreparably harmed our nation's electoral process this week should be pariahs for the rest of their lives. They should not be welcomed where decent people gather.

FYI: If you have an active Naval blockade, there's not a ceasefire. So even if you claim a ceasefire pauses the War Powers Resolution 60-day clock, there's not a ceasefire right now.

But is it REALLY a bear? Can a picture really BE an animal? What is the BEAR-NESS of bears? How do we KNOW that? Trump is subtly hinting at all these questions in this apparently simple narrative.

Donald Trump keeps confusing reality, names, history, and basic facts — here he confuses Ukraine with Iran, again. This is not normal. It’s a warning sign. A man showing obvious cognitive decline should not be anywhere near the nuclear codes. He is a danger to America and the world.

The most frightening aspect of Trump's claim to cut drug prices by 600% is that he can keep telling a lie this stupid with no negative repercussions. We are living through a nightmare conjured by a madman.

Protesters marching in Washington D.C. on May Day: "Hey Donald Trump, you racist clown You're not welcome in our town." 🎶🎶🎶

Democratic House campaign teams are circulating this image. This is a strategy a party employs when a President's poll numbers are sliding

Reassuring that Trump decided to get rid of Bondi and switch to Blanche because he was even more unethical than Bondi.

I worked mob cases across all five families. I transcribed wiretaps from payphones. Not once did anyone say “86” when they meant kill.

🚨 WOW! BIG news here! Jerome Powell says he will remain on the Fed board after stepping down as chair—a move not seen since 1948. He specifically pointed to legal pressure from Donald Trump and the need to ensure Fed independence. Trump’s attacks have backfired in a big way.
