Trump's net rating among Gen Z voters has deteriorated sharply, falling from -23 points in May to -41 points last month.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

Murphy: "Everything that's happened in the last 7 days - the fight w/ Musk & now the deployment of the National Guard - is probably also a distraction from the main story, which is that Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation he will attempt to move through Congress"

Shower time!

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

“The costs of opposition are surmountable. And importantly, the descent into authoritarianism is reversible. Pro-democracy forces have successfully resisted or reversed backsliding in recent years in Brazil, Poland, Slovakia, South Korea and elsewhere.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

Schrödinger’s autocrat: I Alone Can Fix It, but also my administration’s policy actions are the result of a committee of lawyers over whom I have no influence

Walz: I do want to give a huge shout out to our Canadian neighbors, they know that this is wrong. They stood up to it

This is some sick shit

Fourth circuit rebuffs, emphatically, administration’s attempt to appeal Xinis order in Abrego-Garcia case. Not unexpected, but really heartening. “We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”

Just to be clear, I’m advocating for due process for Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

I legit think it's a fetish at this point, there's not really another explanation for it.

It's a clarion call: Wilkinson: "The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph."

Make no mistake, when they finish building their panopticon, it will threaten us all.

Lululemon and Zebra Technologies are out as sponsors of two local Pride events, raising questions whether Chicago's Pride Fest and Parade will also see changes. Will Bud Light, which just ended its 30-year partnership with St. Louis Pride, support Chicago Pride Fest this year? @windycitytimes.com

Trump rages as Fed Chair Powell refuses to tank the economy for him. China cuts U.S. oil imports 90%. Harvard faces threats. A mass shooting at FSU. MAGA spirals, global allies walk. And Musk… well, just wait for that part. It’s all in today's bulletin.

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.

so telling that Hesgeth’s reflexive reaction was to trash Goldberg as “deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes. This is a guy that peddles in garbage. This is what he does.” That’s what happens when you get a Fox News guy at Sec DoD

Yeah... why bother filing at this point? IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans
