Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison. It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake in TikTok. Everything is for sale.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Game on, a-holes…

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

I just came out of the briefing with Sec. Rubio and Sec. Hegseth on the military strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Here's what I learned. Bottom line: there is no legal or national security justification for what they're doing. Not even close.

🇭🇺💥Thousands marched to Viktor Orbán’s office in Budapest on Saturday, led by opposition leader Péter Magyar, who called on the PM to resign over multiple child abuse scandals. Protesters carried toys and torches under the banner “Protect the children!”. 🎥Timelapse video posted by Magyar.

Wow! The Democracy Docket YouTube channel now has more than 600,000 subscribers.

Truly vile: A 65-year-old U.S. Army vet who's lived in Georgia for 52 years is in ICE detention because he didn't use his turn signal. Godfrey Wade served overseas, earned commendations, and is now sleeping on the floor in sewage-soaked conditions, denied a hearing, and told deportation is "final."

Judge Emil Bove caught at a Trump rally yesterday in Pennsylvania and now there’s an ethics complaint. A federal judge showing up at a campaign-style event for the president he once represented? Hard to imagine a clearer breach of “impartiality.” #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AYCwxIkcGRoq...

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks! 50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it. I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

Yep. #Trump #Putin #Netanyahu

A reminder that before the Trump admin/RFK took over this year, the U.S. had officially declared measles eliminated in 2000.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

NEW: The Trump Justice Department failed to secure an indictment today against New York Attorney General Letitia James. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Himes: "The end result was two individuals without any weaponry, without any tools of any kind, clinging to a wrecked boat ... the decision was taken to kill them and that is in fact what happened. And that was pretty hard to watch."

This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned: newrepublic.com/article/2032...

The Trump regime granted asylum to the alleged DC shooter in April. Kristi Noem lies that the Biden administration did not vet him. But if that were true, why didn't the Trump regime vet him? Is Noem saying they trusted Biden, whom they blame for everything bad that's happened since Trump took over?

The House voted to release the Epstein Files. The Senate voted to release the Epstein File. Trump signed it, so where the fuck are the Epstein Files?

Re: Kelly They're about to give a man who would be an unbeatable presidential nominee a huge moral platform and I don't think they've thought this through.

Don’t get distracted with Venezuela ⬇️

Going after Mark Kelly is not making us forget about going after James Comey Leticia James Jimmy Kimmel or Adam Schiff The MO of this administration is to go after people who point out the truth about these grifter, felons, drug users, and unqualified cabinet members.

The DOJ now has 25 days to release the Epstein files.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

How dumb are these people? Truly. This coming on the heels of the magistrate judge in Comey’s case skewering Halligan & the FBI for illegal and improper handling of the investigation and indictment.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Epstein survivor Haley Robson refutes Mike Johnson: "The survivors that don't want to be public are Jane Does. They've been protected and their names have been redacted the whole time ... I don't care if my name is redacted is not."

Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.

So you opened an investigation into fake news?

Powerful.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Senile Satan just dumped MTG

What is in the Epstein files that Trump is so desperate to prevent from becoming public? It was only a few months ago that we learned of his incriminating birthday card to Epstein in 2003. We learned of that from the Epstein estate. What else is in the DOJ’s unreleased files?

Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed for releasing the Epstein files. Trump just withdrew his support from her.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history. Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame. It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems! Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

NEW: Indiana will NOT redistrict. They don’t have the votes. www.wishtv.com/news/politic...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

BREAKING: Twenty-four survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes have issued an emotional and urgent appeal to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, demanding that Congress vote to release the long-awaited Epstein files. meidasnews.com/news/survivo...

GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley, who did not support the Epstein discharge petition, says he will vote yes next week on releasing the Epstein files

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

When you’ve lost Sorbo.
