Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito took a luxury fishing trip to Alaska with billionaire Paul Singer, whose hedge fund then had repeated business before SCOTUS over the years that followed. Alito never disclosed the trip or recused himself from Singer's cases. (Published June 2023)

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

Don't call it "kidnapping" when ICE grabs a green card holder and US business owner, throws him in a truck, and drives him away to do god-knows-what to him. Only to release him later. You wouldn't want to alarm anyone with hysterical rhetoric. (MN, Jan 28, 2026)

Every accusation turns out being a confession.

President Obama never complained about Bush W during his presidency. Might be why Obama’s approval rating is still higher than Trump's even though he hasn’t been in office for 10 years. Because Trump won't let us forget all the wonderful reasons why Obama was such a great President 💙 #pinks

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

Is Uncle Luka a TACO too? 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_2z...

Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.

"The army will turn its weapons against the Kremlin": an "SMO" veteran has threatened Putin with a mutiny. Lunin from Voronezh region wants a meeting with Putin and a joint live television appearance. As I've said before, Putin is very scared of his army returning home.

The House minority leader told CNN the mayor is going to have to patch things up with congressional Democrats follow Tuesday's primary upsets.

There’s a crazy man in the White House. Congress, hello?

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

Belarus relay stations Russia used to support attacks on Ukraine’s western regions have ceased operating, Zelensky said. Earlier, he warned Lukashenko to shut them down, saying Ukraine would be forced to act if Belarus did not. #Ukraine

Just moments ago the President was supposed to sign a bipartisan housing bill here in the capital. Except, in a bizarre chapter, he didn’t and is a no show—because he says he’s mad at the Senate. Here’s what’s happening ⬇️👀

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Your belly laugh for the night.

❗️👀 Russia’s war spending could be 40% higher than the Kremlin originally planned — Bloomberg Russian Finance Ministry will have to borrow 2–3 trillion rubles ($27–41 billion) on the domestic market. Over the next decade, Russia will be forced to spend 15% of GDP on interest payments alone. 1/3

Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.

If you need some cringe this morning, take a gander at our embarrassing garbage man / fry maker, aka, idiot in chief, Felon47, on the world stage. 🤦 www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCrK...

The last time the Knicks won an NBA championship, the president resigned in disgrace the following year

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

Trump played the arsonist firefighter: he tore up Obama’s deal, launched a pointless and lawless war against Iran, and handed Tehran a moral victory. The result? Predictable chaos and a more confident Iran, while Taco Trump trips over its own trap. #ProudBlue #DV1

Trump: "Qatar is the closest to Iran, physically. With other countries, I noticed they had to travel about 45 minutes to get there. With you, you could walk right across the border." There's no land border between Iran and Qatar. They're separated by the Persian Gulf.

I'm sick of listening to people sanewashing his enormous wealth, built on the backs of people struggling to survive. F#ck him. #USDemocracy

America loves the Obamas. ❤️ When he goes to a ball game, he doesn’t need an army to guard him, a bulletproof perch above the people, and he doesn’t need to shut down 10 city blocks. He is all class.🤟🏻🇺🇸 #ProudBlue #ObamaAppreciationDay

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that Michelle has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

1. 🚨One year ago today, Vance Boelter — a self-described evangelical pastor, registered Republican, and avowed Trump supporter — stalked Democratic lawmakers at their homes under cover of darkness, disguised in a fake police uniform and silicone mask. On June 14, 2025, Boelter shot former Minnesota

Marco Rubio: "Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.” That statement would have so much more gravitas if Rubio's own country wasn't also run by religious fanatic lunatics.

Thank you President Obama. 🙏 I appreciate your honesty, intelligence, dignity, integrity, humility & humor. 👍 Looking forward to the opening of your Presidential Center this week! 👀 Wishing you & your family all the best & continued success, Mar🐫

It's Friday, Market Manipulation O'Clock. Do you know where your brokers are?

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

Each of these candidates dropped out of the California Governor race in April. Early voting did not open until May 4. What the he|| is wrong with these voters right here?

Hard to tell if this is The People’s House or an abandoned Six Flags.

Putin is the Trump of Russia and Uncle Luka of Belarus is Greg Abbott. Look what these dummies have done now... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IBy...

Respect and support from the U.S. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

I hate that I find myself cheering for massive burning of toxic oil into the atmosphere, but anything that slows Russian aggression and hastens our transition away from fossil fuels seems like a good thing.

Trump storms out of interview: "You're either crooked or you're stupid…Your elections are crooked. You're crooked. Meet The Press is crooked. And so is ABC, and CBS, and CNN…Alright, let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time."

1/ "A lot of teenagers want clarity about what they can trust." Meet Ridley Mentzer, 14, from Los Angeles, whose service project about helping his peers find credible information won an eighth-grade fair competition. He was awarded $100 that he could donate to a nonprofit, & he chose NLP.

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

The United States is still at war because we have an idiot for a president.

Garcia: "I asked former AG Bondi five times about her conversations with President Trump, whether he directed her on the Epstein files, what he knew, and she refused to answer any questions about President Trump."
