Trump launched an affordability-focused midterm campaign for Republicans this week, traveling to Iowa to give a speech about how good his presidency has been for the cost of living. That's going about as well as you'd think. Here POTUS is saying he is going to keep housing prices high.

I appreciate Bruce Springsteen and Billy Bragg coming in hot on Minneapolis, but if we really want to hurt Trump we need Andrew Lloyd Webber to write a song calling him garbage.

What's funny - besides Jayvee misspelling "Forrest" - is his mistaken belief that his supporters know who Isaac Newton is, or would root AGAINST Forrest Gump 🤦🏼‍♂️

The two men who together fired the 10 shots in the Pretti killing were put on leave after the shooting.

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

New on MS NOW: The two federal immigration agents involved in the shooting death of Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave, per standard agency protocol.

Bannon: "In the fog of war ... We have to hold the line. There can be no de-escalation at all. You don't need to bring down the temperature. Raise the temperature."

Trump: "We literally sent in the military to open it up. But you wouldn't have had the fires because you would've had a little thing called -- old fashioned way -- water in the fire hydrants as opposed to empty. There was no water in the sprinkler in their living room."

RAND PAUL: What if a country indicts our president for violating a foreign law -- should we extradite him or be okay if they get him by force? RUBIO: We're always going to act in our natl interest PAUL: What I'm saying is our arguments are empty. It's a ruse. We do what we do bc we have the force

Rogan: They said they released the Epstein files, but what did they release? The whole thing is weird. Guest: It feels like it's been drowned out by everything else has been going on with the ICE shooting. Rogan: I think some of that's on purpose

Say what you want, but Massie has game.

I can’t even.

Let’s go vote.

As Trump ratchets up threats to bring Greenland into the U.S. over the objections of key global allies and the island’s elected representatives, some GOP lawmakers are stepping up their warnings & engaging in diplomacy as Democrats plan to put the other party on record opposing a military invasion.

My daughter was super excited to have her first day of organized basketball tomorrow. Thanks, Trump voters

Ford employee TJ Sabula was suspended earlier this week for calling Trump a pedophile protector. The vile, no-class president responded with a “f*ck you” and a middle finger. Remind him — and his MAGA minions — of exactly who he is with these items: thewarningwithsteveschmidt.com/collections/...

"ICE AGENTS VERBALLY ASSAULTED AT MN RESTAURANT"

Hassett: "We're seeing numbers like we saw right at the beginning of the Reagan administration, a little bit during the dot com years. But there have been very very few times in American economic history where things were as strong as they are. President Trump's policies have really really helped."

When I see her being so condescending to reporters with vastly more experience than her, I imagine the lovely baby shower they’ll throw on her last day before leave.

Lots of Trump’s remarks are what I think of as “threesome jokes.” As in “Ha ha, of course I wasn’t serious about having a threesome with your friend. Unless you’re into it, in which case, how about Saturday?”

This is where it is going. This is what Stephen Miller is pushing to Trump. The only reason it has not happened yet is that the violence is obviously coming from state actors. There is no insurrection to control. But we are one incident away from Trump sending in the military.

This is a critical point. What we're really witnessing is the *collapse* of law and order, brought about by Trump's lawless thugs. I think a lot of ordinary people intuitively understand that this is what's happening.

This is what happens when journalists decide their role is to police some imagined middle zone that exists halfway between the right's and left's arguments.

Trump, if the Supreme Court rules against his emergency powers-fueled tariffs: “WE'RE SCREWED!”

Senators are worried

NEWS: Sen. Mark Kelly is suing DOD & Pete Hegseth over what's described as their lawless attempt to silence a sitting U.S. Senator. The 7-count complaint alleges violations of the First Amendment, Due Process, and Speech or Debate Clause.

BREAKING: Senator Mark Kelly sues Pete Hegseth, DOD, and others over Hegseth's censure of Kelly and effort to reduce his retirement grade, alleging violations of the First Amendment, due process, Speech & Debate Clause, and federal laws. Kelly is represented by Arnold & Porter.

Elizabeth Warren: "Here's the thing: Donald Trump has already said repeatedly publicly that anyone he appoints to be chair of the Fed will be somebody who agrees with Donald Trump all the time. In other words, Donald Trump has publicly announced he wants a sock puppet running the Fed."

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

NYE, 2025: Who better to give us a message of inspiration and hope than Jane Goodall? I hope her last message gives all of you some perspective and motivation needed to look forward to 2026. 💙 CB

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

Calling someone a "fucking bitch" and denying them medical attention after shooting them sure seems like what someone would do if they wanted to murder them.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

The Trump admin and its influencer allies know it's a murder. They're openly lying because they are not at the point yet where they can say "we don't care if it was justified, we kill who we want." This needs immense pushback so they can't get to that point.

Maybe I’m confused as to what “exculpatory” means.

⬇️

ICE is claiming that the officer feared that Renee Good was about to seriously injure or kill him at this moment.

lol "lead a movement"

Donald Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.
