this one stings

Too bad she’s not focused on making sure all Americans can vote, not just new parents in Congress.

Wow — Trump pardoned former Tennessee Republican State Senator Kelsey, found guilty of federal campaign finance crimes. He had reported to prison 2 weeks ago. Yet another example of Republicans who pledge fealty to Trump being above the law. Context: www.msn.com/en-us/crime/...

The America model SS can be leased to own for $285m.

Stupid: hurting others while hurting yourself.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

Quit X. Raise the bar.

Rupert Murdoch had to pay Dominion $787.5 million for knowingly broadcasting falsehoods. Given that, what qualifies a Fox anchor to talk about trust in the media?

This is my new favorite Grok stat

BREAKING: The First Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the Trump administration's effort to lift a nationwide block on its effort to restrict birthright citizenship. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

As far as I can tell, Khalil has still not been charged & his attorney/family still don’t know where he is. Any Jew who thinks this is going to start and stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themselves. Our community should not be used as an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law.

Nate Vance,US veteran who fought for Ukraine for 3 years, cousin of Vice President JD Vance: "The concept of an imperialistic,aggressive, modernized military Russia who has learned their lessons about modern combat is problematic for our future." Several points from Mr. Vance's interview with CNN:

Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.

Doug Ford: "If we go into a recession, it's self-made by one person. It's called 'President Trump's recession.' It shouldn't be this way. We should be booming. Both countries."

EU tar grep....... French satellite company Eutelsat is replacing Starlink and plans to send approximately 40,000 communication terminals to Ukraine. Their stock has rocketed 390% in the last 3 days as Tesla Starlink SpaceX and X continue their freefall.

Bravo, Williams & Connolly.

U.S. stocks plunged today, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq and broad S&P 500 posting their biggest one-day drop since September 2022, amid heightened risk of recession this year after Trump wouldn't rule one out.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

A new poll released Monday from Siena College found that more New York City residents approve of congestion pricing than don't, a dramatic turnaround from a previous poll by the same firm back in December.

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier. I asked him what he thought about the recent change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”

NY FED SURVEY: share of households who expect to be better off in a year: (biggest month-over-month drop since May 2022.) 🇺🇸 @nicktimiraos.bsky.social

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

No king. And no chain-saw wielding jester.

A federal judge in NY has blocked any effort by the Trump administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil – whose arrest and imminent deportation Trump celebrated on Turth Social today — until further proceedings play out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

HAPPENING NOW: Adam Martinez, the COO of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has taken the stand in emergency lawsuit aimed at stopping Russ Vought from dismantling the agency.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country. We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to Wall Street billionaires for profit. Privatization would increase costs, reduce access, and be an utter disaster.

Be kind to a someone today. Everyone is walking around scared. Some are right on the edge and others push it to their unconscious but no one is immune. This plane has all the makings of hell but it can be the opposite when we connect with each other

Flood The Zone… Time to plaster those “Trumpflation” stickers everywhere! Let’s make sure everyone knows who’s responsible for draining their wallets.

Rubio's gutting of USAID is illegal and unconstitutional. There is no form of democracy anywhere of any kind that would allow the executive branch to unilaterally cancel budgets and programs passed by the legislative branch and signed into law. It's utter lawlessness.

The CDC, under RFK Jr., will research the widely-debunked, nonexistent link between vaccines and autism. The move comes during the worst measles outbreak in the U.S. in the past five years. @msnbc.com

Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
