Coming up on this Sunday's @meetthepress.com Kersten Welker will talk with Republicans about why Democrats are so angry about Presnit Trump's remarks about Rob Reiner. Angry Democrats will not be invited to ask Kersten confusing questions about Republican anger on the same topic.

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness. Remember this.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

As we progress into fall, keep a close eye on economic numbers, remembering that numbers out of Trumpland can NOT be trusted. Tariffs are taking a big toll. Increased unemployment is taking a toll. Higher food costs are taking a toll. Gas costs are taking a toll. Things will soon compound.

On July 15, 2025, Donald Trump claimed that former FBI Director James Comey and other political opponents "made up" the files related to Jeffrey Epstein as part of a "hoax". Trump and his DOJ's collective dumbfuckery just opened the door for Comey to defend his credibility and subpoena the files.

Prices - still going up Trump slavery program - kicking into overdrive (see H2 visa program) Tax cuts for uber-wealthy - more to come But still no EPSTEIN files, unredacted please - why is the GOP Guarding Old Pedophiles?????

For years, if not decades, @nytimes.com has been a stenographer for the Guardians of Pedophiles party. They faithfully ran with story after story about Biden's supposed corruption/taking bribes. Now that there is actually bribe taking in this admin they are largely silent. Not journalism at all.

Has anyone seen the Epstein files? They might be at the DOJ being "edited" by Ms. Bondi. She might be light-headed from all the WhiteOut fumes.

1/5🧵 Social media screams “civil war is inevitable!” That’s garbage. A loud handful of MAGA extremists want chaos. Don’t mistake their noise for America. Real life isn’t Twitter. Don’t buy the lie.

I guess King Trump won't be getting gas prices down to $2/gal like Biden did. At this point it is looking more and more like we will be having Russia-style bread lines before too long. He sure loves screwing over the working class.

Just got a new "letter" from Social Security about how the misadministration is working to strengthen the program. This means they are getting ready to gut it when the econ bros finally realize the economy is trash. It is just like Kroger saying they have new low prices before they raise them.

He is still not good at thinking things through. If he pardons Maxwell, she can be compelled to testify about her actions and not be able to take the 5th in court. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

When your LARGEST donor says your Big Bill is an "abomination" and you're covering up ties to predator Jeffrey Epstein When there are no trade deals When you've failed to end the wars in Ukraine & Gaza When consumer confidence is falling MANUFACTURE A CRISIS &. SEND IN THE NATIONAL GUARD

UPDATED: topline talking points about the Republican tax scam bill. Please read & share!

Happy Friday to everyone who knows that fluoride in water is recommended by all dentists. Reduces tooth decay by 40-70% in children. Reduces tooth loss by 40-60% in adults. Cost-effective: For every dollar spent on water fluoridation, $38 is saved in dental care costs. #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory

Dear elected Dems, and especially leadership - Tariffs are supposed to be a power that Congress holds, not the President. Get in front of a camera and blame the GOP for not stopping him from crashing the economy. Lead, dammit! Your electorate is getting tired of seeing nothing from you.

NO ONE should ever half to apologise for taking a break from the news/life/whatever. Everyone has a duty to take that "me" time to recharge. There are going to many battles along the way and we need most of us to be ready to fight. Take care of yourselves and remind others to do the same.

Elected Dems need to stop trying to be nice. There are no benefits to being nice when the other side is trashing democracy. Dear Farmers - you voted for this. Wake TF up. Dear elected Dems - repeat after me: Republicans are incapable of governing responsibly. www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

Sounds like Elmo wants to cut Social Security & Medicare, let's be ready to show up to let them know it would be a mistake.

Putting a freeze on your credit takes a mere 2 minutes at Transunion and Experian. At Equifax, it takes about 5-20 minutes. So in 25 minutes or less you can protect yourself against possible thuggery from Musk's band of thieves, hackers &Doge dipshits. I highly recommend it.

Please share FAR & WIDE. New Mexico AG Raul Torrez should be a household name. He is spearheading a multi-state AG effort to stop Elon Musk‘s illegal actions since Congress will not! Thank you, AG Torrez. We support you.

Rep. Jamie Raskin's Class Action Law Suit for STEALING our private information is definitely thinking way outside the box and if an anti-vax, inexperienced person like RFK Jr. will be installed we MUST start thinking and responding like this. Thank you @raskin.house.gov we APPRECIATE you so much!🙏💜

They may well let Medicare/Social Security stand....for a while...but they will impose cuts. And Medicaid will likely go away. There are very few hospitals in America that do not have a good number of their patients on either Medicaid or Medicare. Cuts to either program will close many hospitals.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

There is a clear and direct line between “protect women’s sports” and the ongoing efforts to eradicate trans folks from existence entirely. If you thought it was “just about sports” so it was either contained/about fairness, or you didn’t care, now is the time to come to grips with being wrong.

Wondering if anyone is hearing about anything Team Trump is doing to build his army for the day people revolt. I know his J6 KKKrew is free, but is anything being done to recruit more? Are the Oaf Keepers building their ranks, or the Pout Boys?

✅ DEI Employers of the Day™ US Attorney General Pam Bondi will target private-sector DEI initiatives for potential “criminal investigation," Slate reports. But despite threats, 80 companies are standing firm on DEI, and the list is growing every day. Full list: www.impactivize.org/dei-employer...

Whatever the EEOC website says, the Supreme Court's Bostock ruling is still on the books

Josh is 100% on the mark - NO Dem help on either the budget or debt ceiling, until the lawlessness stops. Attention elected DEMS - that means ZERO/NADA/ZIP/NOT-A-SINGLE-BIT of cooperation on debt limit or the budget until the DOGE BS and quit ultimatums and letting Elmo see everything, etc. NONE.

Trump backers keep declaring that he has a powerful “mandate” from voters. In fact, it’s as feeble a mandate as almost any president has had. Only 31.7% of eligible voters voted for Trump. And of those who voted, only 49.7% voted for him. Yes, he won — but by a historically minuscule margin

seeing takes about the aid institutions and their role in imperialism. correct. If someone said "investor-owned hospitals exploit the vulnerable to benefit shareholders" I'd nod. If their followup was "and that's why I'm turning off your mom's dialysis machine" I'd...have some followup questions

There is a reason that the actual federal faucet has always been controlled by apolitical bureaucrats. Having a president (or an unelected billionaire) with direct, granular control of a quarter of all U.S. spending is power beyond the Founders’ wildest dreams. 10/x

Exactly one week ago.

Get him, Pete.

Pete was transport chief for four years. Why did this happen ten days under Trump after he let Musk fire the FAA chief and took an ax to the FAA and flight safety system? 🤔

The big goal of the Trump administration is to turn the US into a shithole country.

Dear @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social Funding cut for ALL research, including childhood cancer research, Medicare funding cut - leaving millions without care. The GOP built this. It is up to Democrats to unify on message and to shout it from every mountain.

Pete Hegseth, President Trump's nominee to lead the Pentagon, paid $50,000 to a woman alleging sexual assault, according to documents obtained by CNN. cnn.it/4hjp6VI

A devastating loss. Cecile Richards was an extraordinary human being and leader. I was fortunate to know her and send my condolences to her loved ones. Cecile leaves behind a powerful legacy of activism and service on behalf of women everywhere.

It will take some time, but I have a feeling my old home state may well lead the divide/differences between red and blue states, with MN being a very can-do kind of state, where the quality of life soars compared to the desolation the red states will see.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers. Science works, y'all. www.startribune.com/closure-of-n...

Telegraph (Fraser Nelson) "Our immigrant population has almost doubled while our crime rate has halved....we seem to have attracted immigrants who, by and large, are prone to integrate and strengthen the social fabric." archive.ph/ryMuH

Why does Trump think Canada would only be ONE state? Canada is wider than the US (with exception of Hawaii) and has TEN provinces & three territories. Canada would negotiate to have each of the provinces become a state, all that were used to free healthcare and good education. LOTS of blue votes.

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

Am I the only Comcast/Xfinity user who is noticing things are slowing way down since Trump won the election? Seems like files are taking forever to download these days.

Tesla Cybertrucks are being mistaken for trash dumpsters by raccoons, and they’re getting thrashed as a result. Honest mistake. 🤣

Speaking to CBS News about Gaetz ethics report — and debate over whether it should be publicly released: Rep Glenn Ivey (D-MD) notes Gaetz could still seek to take House seat he won on Election Day … come Jan 3. Or seek an appointment to Senate if Marco Rubio joins cabinet
