“We are being held hostage by an utter buffoon, who lacks one iota of self-awareness and responds to an obvious humiliation by lashing out against his perceived enemies and puffing himself up as the greatest solution to all of our problems.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-humili...

A parade of anti-voting candidates who have parroted Trump’s false claims that he won the presidency in 2020 could soon be running elections across the country. 👀 Do you know who’s running in your state?

Trump is increasingly threatened by a self-made problem. His determination to impose unrestrained personal power — which crushed resistance in his first year back in the White House — is now stirring backlashes that are deepening a moment of political vulnerability.

The damage done by the Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act won’t end with redistricting for the 2026 midterms. We will feel its effects into 2028 and beyond, Sara Rohani writes. “The decision doesn’t just redraw maps, it erases the promise of equal representation.”

Yes!!!!!! It's up to all of us to make sure Trump's many attempts to rewrite history do not succeed.

ABC paid Trump. CBS paid Trump. NBC's parent paid Trump. WaPo, CBS and CNN all pull punches. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Nothing they can use to praise Trump atm, so they have play the classics.

“They have no clue. They live in their own world.” Bernie Sanders calls out Kevin O’Leary on the first episode of On Sunday premiering today at 12pm EST!

But don’t call Republicans racists.

BARTIROMO: A lot of people have asked me recently, 'Will President Trump finish the job?' BESSENT: What does 'finish the job' mean?

BARTIROMO: We are are seeing a spike in inflation BESSENT: It's a very limited spike

Bessent: "Many people have said to me, 'Are you surprised the market has gone up on bad news?' I say, I don't think the news is that bad. I think the news is bad. The quality of the reporting. The anti-Americanism. People are so anti-President Trump."

Holy shit. He’s bragging about taking a FOURTH dementia test! 👀

Despite court order to do so, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum would not commit to taking Trump's name off the Kennedy Center On CNN, Burgum instead waffled and noted there could be an appeal

Exhibit A of how states can act as a check against Trump’s corruption: wapo.st/4nZL9oZ

Morning check.

I don’t think it’s especially difficult to get propaganda spin from unnamed Trump admin officials with a vested interest in pumping out manipulating bs to the public and put it in articles day after day. But after it proves to be untrue nonsense 75 times do you stop at any point?

Um. 😶 bsky.app/profile/midd...

Holy shit, Trump is really crashing out. His latest unhinged screed: “We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain. Cancel it.”

Every single one of them pushed for the release of the Epstein files

Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery.

This is my original content that you have stolen. Please remove this post immediately. Heads up Bluesky, you might want to block @whenwewerekids.bsky.social, who plagiarizes.

This is Day 90 of Iran supposedly begging for a peace from Trump which is about to get done any minute and is a total surrender by Iran which accomplished all the original war objectives of the US.

Trump took another cognitive/dementia test at Walter Reed. They don’t just give these things out for fun, and it’s definitely not normal to take them several times a year if there’s no concern. He was also seen by 22 specialists and got a chest CT. And they released the results 11 pm Friday. 🤔

Montage of clips of Trump talking about how hot and handsome he finds various young men that he encounters over the years while praising their muscles and other body parts.

Posted 9 hours before Trump endorsed Pam Evette.

This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

This is our house. Donald Trump has turned these grounds to trash. He never should have been allowed anywhere near the levers of power. He should be removed from office now.

In yet ANOTHER decision by a judge trying to unstick Alex Jones' abuse of the legal process to prevent us from paying the Sandy Hook families, Texas judge Maya Gamble said Alex Jones has conducted "outrageous discovery abuse, tampering with evidence, and continuous, callous disrespect" for the law.

It was wonderful to have some laughs talking about Fox News in the era of Late Trumpism with @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social today -- as you can see in the clip, we were even treated to her fantastic Judge Jeanine impersonation 😆 Full episode: www.publicnotice.co/p/juliet-jes...

6 Minute “Crooked Ken Paxton” Republican Attack Video Resurfaces The NRSC pushed the now-unlisted video out to supporters in March meidasnews.com/news/6-minut...

I just asked Alexa which president appointed Judge Waverly Crenshaw in TN, and she said "President Donald J Trump appointed judge Waverly Crenshaw as part of his judicial reform initiative." I replied "I thought Obama appointed him," and she said "Oh that's right. Thanks for keeping me honest."

Maga whining about the artists pulling out. Nevermind the fact that they’re ignoring trump lied to them AGAIN.

But don’t you dare compare them to Nazis

I'd say the "root cause" is narcissistic billionaire babies who are way out of their depth in usurping NASA's role in all of this.

New on MS NOW: During Pam Bondi's transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee, Bondi lost her temper a bit at some points and grew frustrated when asked about Trump, according to a source in the room.

But MAGA cultists clutch their pearls if a Democrat calls Stephen Miller “ugly.”

7. In New Jersey’s 7th, incumbent Republican Thomas Kean Jr. is at risk of losing in November. Real Change is spending money attacking the Democratic frontrunner, Rebecca Bennett, while promoting her primary opponents. Footage in the Real Change ads attacking Bennett was previously used by the CFL.

1. A Popular Information reveals that two more "progressive" super PACs are linked to House Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson. They've worked pretty hard to cover their tracks, but not quite hard enough. Follow along for details.

Listen to @aoc.bsky.social: "Our ability to have one home is being eclipsed by other people’s fourth, fifth, and sixth homes...I really think that someone values their first home—their only home—a lot more than they value their 10th."

Is the WH going to release the full written text of any “deal” with Iran which has the signatures of both parties on it with specific terms, or do we have to rely on more political propaganda spin and stories citing “US sources”?

Why hasn’t anyone charged Stephen Miller yet? Serious question

How childish and malformed

This means any payouts from Trump's slush fund have been temporarily blocked.
