NESTERAK: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who have stolen hundreds of millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy? McDONALD: I'll take a different question

good lord

The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

I’ve covered Chicago’s federal courthouse for 11 years and have never seen a hearing like this one.

Ghislaine Maxwell is eligible to file a claim with Trump’s $1.8 billion theft of taxpayer dollars. 5 appointees of Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche would then decide if she should get some of your money. This is the Republican Party.

Yeah, it’s probably just a coincidence that Blanche represented Paul Manafort, Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epshteyn, Michael Cohen, and Donald Trump. He’s just a guy trying to do the right thing without regard to party, as long as you’re a Republican.

The Iran War, fracturing of OPEC and crippled Russian oil industry signal the end of the Oil Era. Now it's a race to electrify before fossil fuel prices soar even more #SilverLinings

BERNIE: “Massie was defeated by $9 Million from AIPAC + $7 million from Trump mega-donors — his crime was opposing the war in Iran Americans oppose, pushing to release the Epstein files, and not being a rubber stamp for Trump.”

The times that a trans student has come out to me as a part of their self-discovery are sacred to me at a time when little else is. This is an abominable and unenforceable fascist tactic.

It's worth noting that Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991 and in those days other women also testified that Thomas had a heavy obsession with pornography. This coincides with his appearances in the Epstein Files. Maybe we should look closer.

Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

How many millions of our tax dollars are they going to be paid for refusing to show up for a deposition?

SEN. TILLIS, on the new DOJ 'anti-weaponization' fund: “Stupid on stilts.”

The most corrupt Attorney General in history.

Please send this message to Schumer and Jeffries. Call them. Keep calling all your reps and senators and ask them to impeach AND introduce legislation to dissolve this fund.

On the tube

I can't believe the people of this country are allowing him to get away with this nonsense.

If releasing the Epstein Files and tax returns would end his presidency, then his presidency must end.

Iran was never a threat to the US. All the people in the Epstein files are a threat to the US.

If the Trump Administration can indict Raul Castro, does that mean other countries can indict Trump? I would gladly hand him over for prosecution.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans and Forward Latino, my law firm won our latest DOJ voter file case. We are 7-0. DOJ is 0-8. Not tired of winning! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

It’s amazing the difference between how some Republicans speak 5 minutes after their political careers are over compared to the time when they wanted the cult leader to love them.

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

This is not a sane world.

incredibly based minnesota

i was asked recently if i thought clarence thomas saw himself as a villain. i said yes and this is a good example. he is totally bloodthirsty and loves the idea of the government executing people.

Why should any American pay their taxes? If the President can get a lifetime pass on tax fraud, why can’t we?

So now we’ve gone from “make a deal and end the war or I’ll blow you to hell” to “please sign this letter to think about maybe ending the war in the next 30 days” How embarrassing.

I'm a retired boomer. I cannot believe the state of our country. I cannot believe people are reduced to living in their cars, on the street, homeless. NOTHING is normal anymore. There is something fundamentally wrong, VERY wrong, with our country. I am so ashamed of what our country has become.

Jimmy Kimmel Urges Viewers to Never Watch CBS Again After Colbert Finale Airs www.mediaite.com/media/tv/jim...

Time to drink an entire bottle of champagne!!!

Springsteen brought us to tears tonight with his performance of Streets of Minneapolis on Colbert.

NEW: An $11,000 golf cart. More than $7,000 on TV subscriptions. $1.5 million in office renovations. Those were among the expenses that one sheriff’s office billed to a settlement aimed at rooting out racial profiling in the department. With @azluminaria.org

Eligible to be paid with your money after storming the Capitol and breaking into Nancy Pelosi’s office.

Tonight is the last show for Stephen Colbert. Let's all watch to give him the biggest ratings ever. CBS will die tonight after his final show. You know what to do.

One of many reasons why the Founders specifically chose not to require that is because 8 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were born outside the colonies and 9 of the 95 representatives elected to the first Congress were born outside the US.

Ossoff on his Republican opponents: "They're pro-war, they're pro-tariffs, they're pro-cutting healthcare. Let's find out where they stand on the crooked ballroom and the insurrectionist slush fund."

“You’re the first guy in America who’s lost his show because we got a president who can’t take a joke.” “And because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want.” variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

REUTERS: “Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to get between $2 & $5 million.” We are so far off the cliff. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Every time I sat across the desk from Stephen Colbert, I knew we'd have a conversation that was about more than just getting laughs. Alongside his great wit, Stephen brought deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and humility to the late-night stage. Here's to a next chapter as brilliant as the last.

Hanging out with a few friends tonight.

Michigan just permanently protected 73,000 acres of land in the Upper Peninsula and opened it to the public. The deal, which was 5 years in the making, protects the land from habitat fragmentation and oil and gas exploration www.mlive.com/environment/...

Pay a fortune to attend matches, but instead end up as a foreigner in ICE detention without trial. Or stay at home for nothing and watch them on TV. That's a pretty simple choice. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
