We all forgot about this but this is probably the best headline to explain the guys whole vibe

This is damning. The Treasury Secretary just admitted that it's "up to the President" whether the DOJ sues or investigates Warsh if he fails to follow Trump's direction at the Fed. They're saying it out loud - Trump will only accept a sock puppet as the head of the Fed.

New polling conducted after Alex Pretti was murdered by federal agents in Minneapolis finds support for ICE decaying even further, a majority of voters calling for Kristi Noem to be removed, and nearly half saying they know someone who is living in fear because of Trump’s deportation policies.

KIM: We see the Trump family getting involved in different roles even though they don't have official positions BESSENT: Why is Jared Kushner conflicted in the Russia talks? KIM: If he wants to participate, he should go by the same financial disclosures as every other government official

My discharge petition would immediately put a vote to ban stock trading by members of Congress, the president and the vice president. We need to make it clear elected officials are here to serve the American people.

New Quinnipiac poll: 63% of voters disapprove of ICE 60% want ICE out of Minneapolis 58% want Kristi Noem removed from office

GALLEGO: Can the president fire you? BESSENT: He can GALLEGO: Isn't it a conflict of interest for you to making these decisions and the president has full power? BESSENT: I am not part of the decision GALLEGO: Well you hit 'send' on the wire transfer. You're plundering US taxpayer dollars

GALLEGO: You have no independence to make a decision whether the president deserves $10 billion? BESSENT: Again, that is a DOJ matter G: So the DOJ will entirely make that decision? You have no say? B: Correct G: So would you just have to write the check if you were told to write it? B: Correct

Far too many ICE agents are lawless, cruel and despicable bullies.

It genuinely seems like the Democratic leadership thinks American are too stupid to understand this stuff. But Senators Kim and Gallego are doing a damn fine job and breaking it down and showing how nakedly corrupt this shit is in a way that would make people insane if they actually saw it.

LoL what? Rents are decreasing because we had a construction boom followed by a crap economy.

Maybe they could add, “Your ignorance on this topic makes you unfit for your role.”

This is 100% perjury. The idea that the Treasury Secretary doesn't know anything about one of the most important figures in crypto facilitating a giant bribe to Trump and then getting pardoned is laughable. He would literally be the only person in the finance world who didn't know about it.

Man the biggest mistake we americans are making is the underestimation and desperation of trump and his cronies to end election as we know it and officially usher in authoritarian and ultimately fascism.

Sadly, this actually sounds totally possible.

can someone ask the esteemed Senator from Missouri exactly what he means by real Americans seriously, please explain this to me, a black woman, in plain English

Gallego getting Bessent to just say that taxpayers will pay Trump $10 billion if he wins is why most Trump officials who testify just berate the senators instead.

They went through the trouble of severing DHS. Just shut down DHS if republicans don’t agree to your terms. Why extend it? I get that ICE is funded no matter what and won’t close down, but what was the point of severing DHS for leverage if you’re just gonna keep extending the funding?

No one should be opposed to this.

Since there is no response from the all the 2A folks to the government jackbooted thugs, I assume we can safely revisit the need for having a country awash in guns?

Yes, it should.

Honestly I keep thinking it’s some kind of malicious compliance. Some FBI agent laughing as they completely expose these creeps ‘accidentally’ 😂 It could just be incompetence but I prefer to believe the former haha

My job is to redact records. In Canada, but still. I knew this was bad, but oof. Let's take out the assistant's name in an email, but leave her full name in the from field of the same email. Redact the address of a business, but name the business - Spacex address is online. I just.....

Yet they just conveniently forgot to redact the names of hundreds of women. Only later they said "oops we need to recall pages", once everyone saw the names

“Judge Menendez’s decision isn’t a failure of will. It’s a result of a world where conservatives on the nation’s highest court have decided their job is to help President Trump achieve a desired result, law and procedure be damned.”

Republicans hate the American people and view us as nothing more than an unruly mob that they aim to dominate.

When the Press secretary says, "The President cares very much about the Constitution," followed by a "however," you can bet the next bunch of words are going to be unconstitutional! Like a racist starting a joke, followed by "but".

OPINION by @stevebenen.com: “The recent offensive has been jarring in its frequency and intensity, but it’s not exactly new. Indeed, it’s been a problem for quite a while.” READ MORE HERE: www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump Spirals Into Crazed Fury After Harvard Humiliates Him Very Badly As Trump rages at Harvard over leaks that he’s backtracking in his fight with the university, a Harvard political scientist explains why the stakes in this battle are far bigger than they seem.

GREEN: Do you think Trump's post asking people to 'buy DJT' should be investigated? BESSENT: No sir GREEN: Why? BESSENT: All Americans benefited from the rebound in the market that day GREEN: DJT went up $415 million

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births. But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost.com is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

As best I can tell, no one actually has jobs so much as they have competing spheres of influence that are affected by the whims of dementia orange grampa.

If you can criticize the US because of its Border Policies, then all other American can criticize what ever the fuck they want this country without being told "don't like it, git out". This was my first and only test of why GOPers are idiots. Too many of them think, "git out" is a valid reponse.

Exactly why I dont speak to blood relatives and ex friends who voted for this shit. Haven't since the election

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Of course, Republicans are *great* for a certain type of business: megacorporations being allowed to commit mass fraud with impunity. Unfortunately for the rest of us, that's shitty for the economy as a whole.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Jeffries: "Johnson and Thune aren't working for the American people. They work for Trump. So many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle function like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump cartel ... Johnson called the 4th Amendment an inconvenience. It's not."

I don't think that's scripture.

this is, i suppose, one way to address a woman, when given the opportunity to show empathy towards abused women "mr trump do you have anything to say to epstein surivors" "how about you shut the fuck up and smile more, you terrible woman"

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this. Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.

Didn't this happen in My Cousin Vinny?

Sitting members of Congress have traded at least $6.8 million in stock of companies that have large ICE contracts. As we see lives being taken away and our constitutional rights trampled on by ICE and CBP, a ban on stock trading couldn't be more timely.

Seems like that guest column was on target as didn't have charges and deliberately targeted the(wrong) person. Disgraceful abuse of power.

Great reporting. Surveillance by License Plate Reader/Flock should require a warrant
