Today is literally a Stop The Presses moment. Whatever else is going on, the major breaking news story all day and every day should be—Trump calls for hanging death of US Vets serving in Congress.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I’m not one to horn-toot but I am so happy to have received my first Emmy nomination for this show and for these characters I love playing so dang much... and so very grateful to be sharing a category with my incredible friends. I was convinced this would never happen. I treasure this nomination.

I guess $16M only buys so much “protection” these days:

I can usually translate him, but either I’m losing my mind, or he is.

I strongly suggest you not directly handle anything some stranger hands you. You're in a public race and who knows what kinds of stunts people will pull.

Once again…soooooo many of y’all want this to be about Bill Clinton BUT www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

I had to check to see if this was real. It’s only the start of a tweet, but it’s real. And the rest of the tweet isn’t better because they’re lying about there being any threat. This is about the viral video you’ve probably seen with the drive-by pepper spray.

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

In case you were wondering why the government was shut down:

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

for some reason, i don’t believe them

It’s the all caps that convince me.

DHS has stopped using software that automatically captures text messages and is now manually taking screenshots. We're suing to ensure that DHS is following the Federal Records Act and preserving text messages.

Spanberger and Sherrill did attack Trump frontally, including on things like his ballroom, but I agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social that Dems absolutely can't conclude that affordability is his primary vulnerability. The lawbreaking and corruption matter too! www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.

I find it highly ironic that the party that bemoaned the deep state and alleged the cover-up of pedophiles is now embroiled in defending the party that has the largest pedophile cover-up in American history.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

The guy who literally survived a stroke because of accessible healthcare now parrots GOP talking points that healthcare is extreme. Fuck off, Fetterman.

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump spent hours at his house with one of Epstein’s victims

A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

Jeffrey Epstein: Donald Trump “Knew about the girls”

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

If Chuck Schumer tells Dems to cave without getting ACA subsidies which is what they said they were fighting for I will be relentless in demanding that he be kicked from the role of minority leader and primaried.

Things are fine.

Argentina President Javier Milei doing the “Trump dance” at Mar-a-Lago after getting an $40 billion bailout. Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

Just a reminder on why font choice matters. 😅

In the 1950s the Comics Code Authority in America banned the use of the word 'flick' in case cheap printing caused the letters to run together. 70 years later a lesson still to be noted.

go folksy go brokesy

Read the Ketanji Brown Jackson ruling on SNAP. She has our back. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

“I basically tailored the part for Rhea," Gilligan says. "I wanted her to be a star, I figured it was long past time for her to be number one on the call sheet, and I wanted to be the person to get her there.”

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Meet the 37 private donors for Trump’s ballroom—many of whom have ongoing governmental contracts or regulatory cases. It sure looks like their multi-million dollar donations are a way to curry favor.

Between Mike Johnson and Bryan Johnson, that sure is an awful lot of dudes with euphemistic last names who have boner-monitoring apps for their own sons.
