Who DIDN'T see this coming? So the result of Trump spending billions on his illegal war is regime change to a more extreme and hostile Ayatollah who is now able to sell Iranian oil anywhere he wants at a premium to fund more terror attacks on US assets? Are we tired of winning yet?

So Orange Caligula started a new war in the Middle East against Iran, then lifted sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil because Iranian retaliation caused global oil prices to spike.

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth, is raising $100 billion to replace workers with robots around the world. The oligarchs want it all. Not going to happen. Stand up and FIGHT BACK.

Warnock to Bessent: "Manufacturers shed workers in each of the eight months after President Trump unveiled his tariffs on 'liberation day.' I would submit it's a strange liberation and a curious freedom that leaves you unemployed."

The Center for Medicare Advocacy did a wonderful job of explaining why Medicare part D plans will INCREASE in 2026. I’ve been doing everything to bring awareness to this. But it all comes down to today. There will be a special enrollment but only if you’re AWARE! medicareadvocacy.org/scale-back-o...

Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Meidas made some excellent points about today’s political climate. We aren’t exhausted anymore; we’re alert, asking questions and not liking the answers. Dems have momentum because we’ve seen Trump’s “peace plan”, tariffs, raids, gerrymandering, and threats to us and our allies.

Everyone asking who has ever seen bags of cash for payoffs has forgotten #Watergate. Bags of hush money to keep the burglars from saying that the White House and CREEP were involved were left at a phone booth in one of their attys. And a plane crashed with a defendant’s wife with a purse full of $.

Well everyone who took two minute to search in 2016 would have learned most of trump tower is owned by Russian oligarchs and that Russia pulled him out of bankruptcy and that he is aligned with the Russian mafia aka kgb aka Putin

Again, in the hearings last week, Kash claimed this attack took a lot of money and so had to have outside funding. That's horseshit. Tyler Robinson allegedly drove his Dodge Challenger 4 hours to Orem, shot Kirk with grand dad's gun, then drove 4 hours home. He shot Kirk for ~$70.

ICYMI — ahead of his state visit, Trump was welcomed to the UK with the world’s largest Epstein-Trump photo. Right outside Windsor Castle, where he’s staying. Funded by donations from the British public.

Sen. Cruz introduced the SANDBOX Act, which would allow AI companies to skirt critical consumer & safety protections under the guise of “innovation.” Public safety should not be optional. Lawmakers must stand with the public, not corporate lobbyists, & stop this reckless bill.

Meta is building a data center in Wyoming that will use more electricity than all the homes in the state COMBINED. This will cause electric bills to skyrocket. Oh, and destroy the planet at the same time. This is what happens when there is zero accountability for Big Tech.
