Republicans says they believe in voter ID, but when one of their own got caught in the snare, what happened? Donald Trump endorsed him. I give you the curious case of John Wahl.

New Brunswick, NJ just canceled plans for a colossal AI data center after massive pushback from the community. That's a huge win for people power. AI data centers are sucking up communities’ utilities AND draining state resources — while enriching Big Tech CEOs.

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown. Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

One year ago Donald Trump swore an oath to support the Constitution, but he’s used the presidency to enrich himself and his family, the New York Times' editorial board writes. Check out how Trump pocketed $1.4 billion in a single year.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

I’m convinced that the reason most Rethuglicans will not speak up or do the moral thing is because they know it’s too late for them to win any where so why bother. Sit back and ride out the storm fits their shame and cowardice.

A year ago, Trump mistook a narrow victory for a sweeping mandate. One year later, the backlash against his immigration crackdown is shifting the culture in ways we couldn't have predicted. This shift may very well reshape what comes next.

A group of Senators met with the Foreign Minsters of Denmark and Greenland and it was so maddening. People in our country are losing their health care, facing price hikes on everything - and Trump is prepping an invasion of Greenland. Here's what I learned in the meeting.

100%. Stop funding them.

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

If Trump is serious about his libel claim vs. the WSJ, he’ll have to demonstrate that a cautious media outlet published its Epstein story with reckless disregard for its veracity. He’ll also have to endure potentially embarrassing discovery if he stays the course. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

NEW from me: The GOP megabill will add $171 billion to immigration enforcement and ICE, a gigantic sum that'll pour funds into a vast network of detention + hire thousands of ICE agents and fund sheriffs. I talked to an expert on just what to expect: boltsmag.org/how-the-gop-...

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;
