This administration keeps trying to play in our face. Let’s not get it twisted: Indigenous people were here first. They need to stop demonizing people of color to push their racist agenda.

If Mitch McConnell were a Democrat, his failed/failing health and MIA status would be the #1 news across all media, thanks to nonstop MAGA and right-wing framing, commentary and outrage. Huge difference between both parties right there.

Reminder: Hegseth was pushed out of TWO veterans nonprofits amid financial mismanagement allegations, running groups into debt, overspending on parties/events, and treating funds like personal accounts. Now, he's bankrupted the Pentagon despite a record budget and is demanding another $1.5 trillion

Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky Roberts says Todd Blanche showed a "complete lack of humanity" toward survivors, recalling Blanche telling him: "Virginia is not here. Your sister's not here to provide that testimony," despite evidence Giuffre provided implicating Prince Andrew.

Wow -- Ken Paxton and his team abruptly shut down a news conference and bail after journalists try to ask him about his various scandals

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

State attorneys general have sued over the merger between Paramount and Warner Bros, which is now temporarily paused. But new reporting from ProPublica found that FCC officials have been accepting gifts from Paramount while making decisions favorable to the corporation. Hello?

“House Democrats launch investigation into whether Jeffrey Epstein acted as a foreign agent”- CNN “Conspiracy Theories”…are meant as triggers to get us to ask MORE questions…NOT a place to just stop, and say, “Oh. A conspiracy theory? I’ll stop asking questions, then.”

JUST IN: Roger Rogoff, who was appointed interim US attorney by judges in Washington state and immediately fired by President Trump, is suing to block his removal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yes, I know, it's always been unreal the things he says. Yes, I also know he gets away with all manner of things. But, I just don't see how him bragging about *only* sending 18 service members to their deaths — thus far — is a thing the president can do.

You don't hear the phrase "What would Jesus do?" much anymore. That's because the fake Christians spreading hate in our country know what Jesus would do, and it's definitely not what they're doing,

What would Jesus do? Would his teachings be more sympathetic toward an immigrant's baby or a right-wing politician trying to make us hate that baby?

Financial disclosures show that Susan Collins was taking checks from some of the men named in Epstein Files.

Officials in Sumner County, TN are removing the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway signs from Vietnam Veterans Boulevard after vets said they were never consulted and that the honor for the 25 locals killed in Vietnam was being overshadowed.

Is Putin our new PR advisor? He treats people exactly like this too.

Ashley Brouillette said one of her last interactions with her ex-husband was a three-minute voicemail in which David told her that someone should slit her and her daughters’ throats. Last week, she was asked if she recognized her David among the ICE agents after a fatal shooting in Maine. She did.

Folks, Trump and MAGA aren't leaving legally or peacefully. I wish more people would talk about this. They are literally sharing their supervillain plot in the open.

Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton shut down his own press conference after being asked questions about his controversies.

📌$70 billion more to fund Trump's war, and another $11 billion in handouts to farmers who voted for him ... I am sorry, WHICH party is hooked on out-of-control government spending again?????????

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers (Or. Online). The Supreme Court didn't block "Trump's broad tariff authority." It ruled he couldn't use IEEPA, leaving him ready & able to use/abuse a whole raft of other laws. The way you know this is that he moved right on to invoking Section 122, 301, etc.

This is (relatively) good news. Brazilian President Lula’s pledge to protect the Amazon appears to have paid off. In 2025 the smallest amount was burned in 40 years. It’s still a tragedy that any of it is getting burned, but this is real progress.

🖊️Dear Media, Troops get "wounded" in war, not "injured." Thanks, A Navy Vet P.S.: Keep pushing for the number of troops wounded in Trump’s war in Iran, because the Pentagon is lying to you again, once again insulting the men and women in uniform.

Happy Tuesday

When Dems attack Trump's corruption, is that "leftist" or "moderate"? It's neither. People need to stop trying to map everything on to these ludicrously simplistic little templates, which are just designed to facilitate factional infighting and build online followings.

WIN: A court dismissed the RNC's lawsuit demanding access to New Jersey's voter list maintenance records in order to purge voters from the rolls. The lawsuit, which was dismissed for lack of standing, is part of an intensifying GOP effort to force states to disclose sensitive voter data.

Trump hired a guy to find election fraud. On camera, the guy found none. Then security walked him out. That "fraud" is the entire excuse for making you pay to vote. The lie, exposed 👇 #PayToVoteSaveAct www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-news-t...

Two years, fighter jets, FIFA moving into Trump Tower—all so a whole stadium could boo him off the field. He's losing the country he's trying to rig. Worth it 👇 #PayToVoteSaveAct www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-news-t...

A real one-two punch from the 2nd Circuit in Moshen Mahdawi's case. The panel (all GOP appointees) held that the courts lack jurisdiction over the constitutional claim and it would have to be appealed after the immigration "court" (ie, DOJ) admin process. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Corporations have been hiring MAGA-world lawyers with ties to Trump to lobby on their behalf. The latest example? Taylor Farms hiring a former Trump White House official as it deals with a cyclospora investigation. This also comes after it donated $1M to Trump's super PAC. See the problem?

Here's the short version of why I think the idea that Dems can only salvage their brand with moderation is mostly bullshit. Check out this exchange with @creynoldsnc.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2132...
