Retiring Blue Dog Rep. Jared Golden cast the deciding vote today to kill the Iran war powers resolution he *cosponsored*

Preparations for an imminent new phase of Trump’s Iran war have accelerated, Trump administration sources tell Zeteo. Read ‘Trump’s War Fever Is Back’ – and His Iran War Could Escalate Again Very Soon from @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” Here’s what else Trump has said about gas prices since he launched his Iran war: “They’re not very high.” “I thought the oil prices would go up much more.” “Even if it went to $200, it would have been worth it.” zeteo.com/p/higher-gas...

First Draft: Higher Gas Prices? Trump Doesn’t Care The president keeps saying he’s fine with higher gas prices as a result of his war. Read today's 'First Draft' by @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/higher-gas...

I’m now told this witness’s appeal was dismissed in recent days and he was finally ordered removed.

Donald Trump’s war on the press and leakers is on track to get much worse – and fast. Read the latest on Trump's fury against the press from @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/more-paran...

Top Susan Collins Donor Rakes in Millions From Maine Workers “Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman gave $2 million to Susan Collins’s super PAC. Since 2011, his firm has received an estimated $49 million in fees from Maine’s public employees.” By @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/susan-coll...

This video from @fox29philly.bsky.social has loud bangs, shows scene as Trump is rushed out of the White House Correspondents' Dinner

Just as a raw politics level, Janet Mills' veto of the data center moratorium in Maine suggests that she ultimately has no interest in running for office anymore

I don’t mean to smack the anti-Platner, genocide-apologist hornets nest here but fyi

JOURNALIST (wearing a subtle but defiant pin on his suit): Good evening, Mr. President TRUMP (visibly decaying): whhat th hell did that little waiter just say to me

Pretty funny that Trump fired his AG a day after he gave a staggeringly bad speech defending his historically stupid war as it tanks his administration zeteo.com/p/trump-fire...

Shouldn’t Democrats Be Able to Condemn Genocide? Instead of acknowledging Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Dem politicians Mallory McMorrow and Andy Beshear complain about ‘purity tests’ and ‘litmus tests.’ Read @andrewperez.bsky.social & @premthakker.bsky.social's latest now: zeteo.com/p/democrats-...

Democrats should be able to condemn genocide. w/ @premthakker.bsky.social @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/democrats-...

You can call it a "litmus test" but … shouldn’t Democrats be able to condemn genocide? @andrewperez.bsky.social

“One Trump administration official said the following on Wednesday night: “It reminded me of listening to Joe Biden speak.” In Trumplandia, that is perhaps the worst possible thing you could say about anyone, much less the sitting president and leader of the GOP.”

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

The centrist think tank Third Way is trying to cancel Hasan Piker as part of its broader campaign to marginalize the left. The good news is no one has to listen to this stuff. We should take note of the Dems who do. More at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/third-way-...

- @andrewperez.bsky.social and I have a scoop in this morning’s @zeteo.com First Draft: the “gay ayatollah” thing was made up and spread by trump advisers in and outside the government. There is no credible intel on it; it’s a pysop, per trumpy sources in position to know zeteo.com/p/gay-ayatol...

🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Who's got the best weekend read-style article on the Afroman lawsuit? This is very important

What’s interesting is we absolutely note this in the article. I am relieved to see you remain a lying scold on this website too

In today’s First Draft, we look at what it means for democracy when an interest group can spend many millions of dollars on fake political arguments designed to trick voters zeteo.com/p/aipac-illi...

the latest from @andrewperez.bsky.social and me, on this fascist ‘GTA’ wannabe presidency zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

Wrote with @swin24.bsky.social about how the White House is posting fascist memes about GTA and Call of Duty to make themselves laugh about their war as it threatens to blow up the global economy zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

Jared Golden, one of the four Dems who opposed the War Powers resolution, previously helped write this op-ed www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

As @andrewperez.bsky.social and I report here, including by quoting an email from the trump White House we got more than a year ago, the supposed last straw for Noem was also (lol) based on obvious lies. Trump signed off. Noem has been telling this story for more than a year, publicly…

Here's a story everyone's missed about DHS's $220 million ad campaign... beyond that the ads all praise Trump. Every single ad buy for the DHS ads has been placed by the Trump campaign's ad buying firm, Strategic Media Services, records show. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

You must lick the boot but never show your tongue. You must carry out the crimes but evade scrutiny for them. Or maybe she's just not blonde.

by far the best, ballsiest, and most in-depth story on noem's firing so far. @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social @zeteo.com open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Trump fired his DHS chief for running a $220 million ad campaign praising him zeteo.com/p/trump-kris...

First Draft: The Vote to Stop the War? Congress has a chance this week to block further US military action in Iran. Gavin Newsom says the A-word about Israel. And a clear victory for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate primary. From @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/first-draf...

My family and friend tell me ICE had a chopper overhead, three blacked-out cars filled with agents in masks, the local sheriff, and a fire department van on hand to detain a bunch of landscapers in South Florida today.

"The President Must Be Removed From Office" Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit. zeteo.com/p/time-for-t...

Is this even satire?

NEW: One of Trump's top "regulators" is working to block regulation of prediction markets like Polymarket & Kalshi. Turns out, his old firm reps Polymarket. And he's using his role to join a legal battle his old colleagues are in to defend the markets. And his old client helped Kalshi raise $185M.
