The Trump regime (in the form of Melania Trump on X) pressures ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel’s show. The Trumpers hate free speech and want to dictate what TV shows you‘re allowed to watch.

This is brilliant

Reporters should resist the urge to bond with Trump over the WCHA incident. I get that it was frightening, but seriously, if you are going to cover the White House, get to know America where we are all much less safe than anyone in that ballroom last night. open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

If you’re talking about a ballroom instead of talking about the guns, you don’t give a damn about violence in America.

The events of last night suggest a need for sensible gun regulation and better planning by the president and his team. They do not suggest a need for a ballroom or a blank check for ICE. And they certainly don’t suggest we should continue to delay justice for Epstein’s victims.

Same for people who are attending #FIFA #WorldCup 👇👇👇👇

I hate Dana Bash's suggestion that nonviolent "heated rhetoric" is somehow responsible for violence. Heated rhetoric is free speech. The Declaration of Independence was heated rhetoric.

Goebbels would be proud

Seems like a good time to remember that we still don’t know the names of the pilots who were “rescued” from #Iran just 3 weeks ago. Seems highly unusual that this admin is not parading them around and putting gold medals on their necks, right? www.reuters.com/fact-check/n...

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Trump Productions produced another poorly directed distraction… HE thinks we’re all as stupid as HE is .. AND #ButlerWasMurder‼️

Next time, if you want to fool anybody other than your idiot supporters, move the clouds.

The GOP wants to give ICE more money. Dems want to rein them in and make them accountable for their actions. The choice is clear, America.

For what it is worth, these photos US President Donald Trump posted appear to be the same picture, manipulated in different directions. And the original photo is from July 2004, when George W. Bush was president.

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.   My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

This sounds bonkers and then you realize it’s merely a boringly factual statement of what actually happened. He needs to marched in chains & an orange jumpsuit to jail for the rest of his life.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

New Fox poll is absolutely crushing for Trump: *Approval on economy: 34-66 *Approval on inflation: 28-72 (!) *Dems now lead GOP on economy *55% say Trump mentally unfit for office On the pod, @gelliottmorris.com is so illuminating on all these numbers and much more: newrepublic.com/article/2094...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

I wonder why, & now they want to stop the people of VA from having a voice

Cut from movie due to time constraints was scene where Nixon yells "Quiet Piggy" to correspondent Helen Thomas

Trump always appoints questionable people. Former Secretary of the Navy John Phelan never served in the military but did fly at least twice in Epstein's plane. His successor, Hung Cao, claims to have been “blown up” in combat. But there is no Purple Heart or other evidence to support such claim.

There's a decent chance Trump is so far gone into the dementia that he thinks he's back hosting Celebrity Apprentice and has to fire at least one of the D-list celebrities in his orbit at the end of each day.

AOC nails it, as usual. She should be president.

It is common to pay informants for information about what is going on in extremist groups or criminal organizations. The Justice Department does it all the time. Trump is abusing DOJ to stifle groups he doesn’t like. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's helpful to recapitulate the history of gerrymandering here 🧵 That history proceeds in five stages, but first, let's establish a conceptual distinction between "legislator-led redistricting" and "court-led redistricting," which I think is pretty straightforward, it's what it says on the tin

Drunkard rapist fox host Pete Hegseth has ended mandatory annual flu vaccines for US troops and blames President Biden for military vaccine mandates. First, this is straight up murder in my opinion and second, flu shots have been required since 1945 when Biden was 2 years old.

It’s a cult.

Hell, why have modern medicine in the military at all? Let's get back to vicious battlefield amputations. Anesthesia is woke.

Here’s the ad promoting the new Peter Thiel backed startup, Objection, where AI will allegedly determine the veracity of journalists’ claims. It looks like they took the ad down, but I screen grabbed it when I could still access it from a QT by right wing Christian investor Nate Fischer. 1/

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.
