Jennifer Welch on Elon Musk: “We all saw the man tripping his balls on ketamine in the Oval Office with a black eye while his kid was rubbing his boogers on the desk. This guy has all this power and all these companies and all of these government subsidies. This MFer needs to be taxed forever.

Sen. Bernie Sanders 31 out of 32 NFL owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 NBA owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 MLB owners are billionaires. Your tax dollars helped build their stadiums. But today, the average person can’t afford the price of a ticket to a sporting event. That must change.

In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg leaked The Pentagon Papers exposing the lies told to the public about the disastrous Viet Nam war, forever becoming a hero in history. Now... someone PLEASE leak #TheEPSTEINFiles & end the biggest coverup scandal of all-time! 🙏

Massie: "There's a growing number of people on the right who have a form of TDS called Trump Disappointment Syndrome. i think what's gonna happen to the party this fall is they've disenfranchised a large portion of that constituency that Trump assembled."

Erica Payne, founder of Patriotic Millionaires, laments the "freak show in the WH" is posting memes about being Jesus and fighting with the Pope while we live in a nation that (in theory) demands the separation of church and state. She finished with, "For heaven's sake! Enough already"

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

I left the Catholic Church decades ago But I still know the words of Jesus according to the Bible "Christian" Nationalism is a heresy And most people who call themselves Christians don't believe in most of the things that these wealthy con artist evangelical pastors like Paula White preach🧵

religionnews.comChristian nationalists are panicking because religious progressives are thriving(RNS) — Christian nationalists' preferred framing of American politics as 'secular left vs. Christian' is false.

At pre-election rallies in #Hungary, the crowd began chanting: #Russians — go home! The historic slogan "Ruszkik haza" emerged during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and was directed against the #Soviet occupation 👍

Oh Dear, DEPAULO SAYS, PIRRO WOULD PAD AROUND THE HOUSE WEARING NOTHING BUT ‘PANTIES, HIGH HEELS, AND THESE LITTLE STICKERS THAT SHE PUT ON HER NIPPLES,'”

Young New Yorkers are the beating heart of this campaign. Alero decided to join our fight after seeing our work to stand up for immigrant communities across NY. A student of public policy and the daughter of immigrants herself, she has used her opportunity as a force for good.

This might be the most unhinged thing he’s ever tweeted, and that’s saying something. He’s flailing. Has no idea how to get out of this war cleanly.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

If the Dow makes it back to Trump’s inauguration numbers, are we allowed to care about investigating pedophiles again? Asking for Pam Bondi.

NEW EPISODE: George Conway and I discuss the state of American democracy, Trump's authoritarian tactics, and what we can do to stop him. He doesn't mince words — impeachment isn't just an option, it's a constitutional obligation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt6r...

wow! Rand Paul begins Markwayne Mullin's hearing by confronting him about comments he made describing Paul as a "freakin' snake" & "celebrating" Paul getting assaulted "I wonder if someone who applauds political violence is right to lead an agency that has struggled to accept proper use of force"

It's tough when there aren't enough unethical political hacks to bring your bullshit vindictive prosecutions and to defend your lawless depravity.

SCOOP: DOJ has waived policy requiring newly hired prosecutors to have least a year (more often 3 years) experience practicing law. As DOJ struggles to replace mass departures w/ qualified applicants, this move allows hiring straight out of law school. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Shocked that people who work for the guy who overpaid for casinos and ran them into the ground would have "buyer's remorse" about anything

Axios@axios.com

BEHIND THE CURTAIN: The Iran war is the 1st time Trump's style has made it impossible for him to easily talk/improvise his way out. Some in his inner circle have what one official called "buyer's remorse" —growing fears that attacking Iran was a mistake.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.
