there is something genuinely clarifying and useful about this kind of stuff. they are totally hoods off and proud of it, which means we should not hesitate to describe them accordingly

Perfect example of how Trump supporters have no core principles and will say anything.

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

The cost of the ballroom was originally supposed to be $200 million, less than a year ago. Now it’s $400 million. Its price has gone up even more than the price of gas at the pump. And guess what? We’re paying both for our gas and—if the Republicans have their way—for his ballroom.

Members of the US Secret Service are still being paid. This is incredibly misleading.

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

NEW: Sen. @durbin.senate.gov leads nine fellow Senate Democrats in proposing an amendment to the Constitution that would enshrine an explicit, individual right to vote www.durbin.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This president, his bullshit, and the chaos he attracts have disrupted quite enough of our serenity and well-being, I’d say.

Politics was invented to prevent violence. When violence enters politics, politics fails

This President tells us every day that no election is free and fair unless HE wins. Well, that's not how it works in America, no matter how many tantrums he throws. Trump lost the 2020 election. That will never change and I have zero intention of letting him rewrite history.

The DOJ Office of the Inspector General just announced an audit into DOJ compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. That means investigators will examine how records were identified, redacted, and released—and whether the DOJ followed the law. A public report is expected.

They changed the headlines—not the policy. ICE isn’t in the spotlight anymore… but the raids, detentions, and family separations never stopped. I break down what’s really happening open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

🎯

James Comer is under fire after a memo revealed Republicans are shifting away from traditional hearings on the Epstein Files. Instead of formal proceedings, the committee is moving to “roundtables”—informal sessions with no authority. Witnesses are not even required to be under oath.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Hakeem Jeffries puts out a FAFO: "We will aggressively target for defeat Mario Díaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez, Kat Cammack, Anna Paulina Luna, Laurel Lee, Cory Mills and Brian Mast.... Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time"

Fantastic 🙄

BREAKING: The BBC has reported that there appears to be "insider trading consistently happening in the Trump administration before announcements."

Breaking News: Iran’s military said it had reimposed “strict control” over the Strait of Hormuz, adding to uncertainty over access to the waterway.

"I'm gonna believe the nine sources in the Atlantic over the liars in this administration, but to each their own." @timmiller.bsky.social gives his take on reports that Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

LFG

WATCH: Republican Congressman Cory Mills is facing growing pressure to resign over a range of conduct issues.

Bro, what?

Sen. Fudd thinks “Muslims took over Europe”

You guys. No.

"Magyar wasn't engaging in a policy debate... His framing was Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are a criminal organization and we need to dismantle this... he connected the impact of the criminal organization to these rural Hungarians' experience." @ambpressman.bsky.social on how Magyar beat Orbán.

this looks great www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEXx...

This is so stupid that stupid people hate it

Y’all are wild

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

The president’s brain is mush

👏 👍 👏 👍 👏 👍 👏 👍 👏 👍 👏 👍 👏 👍

JUST IN: Viktor Orban conceded his defeat in Hungary. The far-right leader & Trump ally will no longer be prime minister. What remains to be seen is the size of his defeat — and whether the opposition wins a supermajority to amend the constitution and reverse Orban’s rule.

Not that I expect him to know this, but a blockade is an act of war

They don't want to be on the record as voting to support the war. So they avoid the vote taking altogether.

Something to smile about

Melania confirmed "Epstein was not alone." This means the survivors are not a "hoax" as ⁦Donald Trump claimed. Melania Trump must testify as to what she knows about other who men raped or abused the survivors. @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social www.ms.now/the-last-wor...

Donald Trump legitimately loves watching — and talking about — people being brutally murdered. It’s fucking sick

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.
