ICE thought Minneapolis would fold. Instead, a police chief lit a flare bright enough to burn D.C.’s eyebrows.🔥👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Also, a lesson to every DOJ lawyer & law enforcement official. A lesson to everyone.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us. But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline. He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office. Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity. The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Statement from Rep. Crockett on Threat at D.C. Office

My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis. And make health insurance affordable. The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too. I'm voting no.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits. This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans. As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Reminder: At the height of COVID When hospitals were desperate for COVID tests, Trump sent thousands to Putin for his personal use

Author’s note: This went out to paid subscribers about two hours ago. After I published it, I went outside to finish a chore I had started earlier. The thought, “You need to send this one out to everyone,” was persistent. That’s why I’m sharing it now with all subscribers. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

'Verbal jujitsu:' ABC host ends interview as JD Vance refuses to answer bribery question

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

The thing about Trump bailing Argentina out to the tune of 20 billion while shutting down the US government to kick Americans off healthcare… Argentina has universal healthcare. 😑

So, why is the Trump Administration gifting Argentina $20 billion dollars for “infrastructure” when Natives on the Navajo Nation Reservation must have water trucked in because reservation water is polluted from decades of non-Native mining?

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%. Trump won't even meet with them. He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families. What a bad deal for America.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

Our founders overthrew a king and created a new government on the basic principle that everyday life goes better when people have the power to choose their leaders - not the other way around.

Political violence and threats are not the answer. This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion. We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

. @robertgarcia.bsky.social just lit it up on @msnbc.com ...calling out Trump’s desperate fight to keep the Epstein files buried. He’s pushing to drag those files out into the light where the whole world can see. I like this guy.

Your morning coffee has gotten more expensive. Why? President Trump's chaotic tariffs and failed policies benefit billionaires and raise prices for everyone else.

Good morning. After you've read about why renaming the DOD is the sign of silly and unserious nation, you can read my newest about why the world won't take Trump and America seriously anymore: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

FSU 31 - Alabama 17 Excellent football game.

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

2 months ago, I spoke with service members of our Army National Guard. I didn’t just thank them for their service. I let them know we’re going to support them so they can do the jobs they’re trained to do and get back safely. They deserve to be treated with respect, not to be used like props.

Everything he does is an abuse of power…

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

This is how it should be for all our Universities!!

Putin is a war criminal. Ukraine is a sovereign nation. Remember that tomorrow.

Tom Nichols: “It should also be unacceptable to the United States to play the part of some kind of land broker where we trade away other people’s lives and territories like poker chips to a dictator and a mass murder. It’s crazy.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

EVERYTHING about the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump...was SECRET. EVERYTHING. You know NOTHING more than you did yesterday. Think about what just happened.

Bless these Alaskans!

A Vietnam Veteran came up to me afterwards and thanked me for coming and then took my arm and said, “You are going to have to tell them the truth. You know the truth. We have to be in the streets.” I don’t disagree. To the streets. jesspiper.substack.com/p/you-are-go...

JUST IN: The District of Columbia sues Trump/Bondi/DOJ and others in federal court for egregious overreach in Trump's latest scheme in federalizing DC. New video breaking down this great lawsuit will drop in just a bit on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/@katiephangn... oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...
