I think @jamestalarico.bsky.social is doing fine handling what is being thrown at him. (They don’t have much if they’re already literally calling him transgender.) The challenge will be taking charge of the narrative, and he did a very good job of that in the primary and has a powerful stump speech.

The State Department confirms Trump was not misspeaking when he threatened to blow up Oman:

A federal judge dismissed criminal charges against a media executive in a long-running bribery case involving FIFA after the DOJ said the case no longer fits the Trump administration’s priorities.

Brendan Ballou spent two years prosecuting January 6 Capitol rioters. He is now representing two D.C. police officers suing the Trump administration over its new "anti-weaponization" fund that could be used to compensate January 6 insurrectionists who attacked them and their colleagues.

TX Republicans didn’t just defeat Cornyn. They replaced him with a man under federal fraud charges. If you voted for Cornyn — your values didn’t lose. Your party left you. Take another look at @jamestalarico.bsky.social Integrity over indictments.

Uh No,That's President Obama, Who Actually Had A Nuclear Deal With Iran, That Didn't Cost 13 American Lives,And Billions Of Misspent Money........

Take away the president's power to pardon. The ability has been abused.

If anything makes me suspect he really is dying, it’s these kinds of Make-A-Wish fulfillment activities.

No matter how states try to spin it, intentional discrimination against Black voters is still illegal — and we'll keep fighting it.

Israeli forces demolished a residential home in the Al-Bustan area of Silwan, in occupied East Jerusalem. The Israeli municipality has seized the property to clear land for a planned biblical theme park.

The US and Israel are working to end Jordan’s custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque and replace it with a new Israeli-controlled “multi-faith” administration, Middle East Eye reports. It would allow expanded Jewish prayer access and give Israel influence over mosque leadership.

⚡️Update: European leaders and diplomats signal that they will remain in Kyiv despite Moscow’s warnings, rejecting what they described as an attempt to intimidate and isolate Ukraine. "We stay in Kyiv," Katarina Mathernova, the EU’s ambassador to Ukraine, said. "We stay w/ Ukraine."

Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.

Today there was a shooting in front of the residence of a president who refuses to do anything to stop gun violence. Who actively emboldens the gun industry and defunds violence prevention programs. A painful irony. Infuriating too. 🧵

What goes through the collective mind of the entire democratic free world when they see someone driving a Tesla Cybertruck.

Wondering if Iran can offer to host him, and provide him with “dancing young boys”, like the previous Afghani government used to do? It can help change his position.

“People are telling us that they’re being tortured. I don’t know what more we need to hear before people act to start working together to get people released.” Delaney Hall detainees decry inhumane conditions & no access to medications, @alexmar.bsky.social reports.

"We want accountability for the crimes of the Trump administration. We want accountability for the murderers of Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, accountability for the men and women building concentration camps, accountability for the crooks and billionaires looting our country blind."

We’re talking about a man whose company was convicted of criminal tax fraud.

After Nixon’s “I am not a crook” tax scandal, the IRS mandated that the president’s tax returns be audited yearly. Every president since Nixon (except Trump) publicly released theirs. With the new DOJ settlement ending his audits, Trump is essentially announcing “I am a crook.”

Coincidence? Nope, don’t think so….

BREAKING: We just won a preliminary injunction in our case with @freedom.press requiring the Trump administration to follow the Presidential Records Act and preserve records for posterity. This is a huge win against their absurd stance that the law is unconstitutional.
