Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
Once upon a time, all government employees, up to and including the president, understood that they worked "for the American people." Donald Trump changed that because he believes—truly believes—that he *is* the American people. That's what an autocrat is.
If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Q: Many feel you have not addressed the fact your son in law is a white supremacist influencer. What have you said to your family?
COLLINS: That's my family
OSSOFF: Imagine running for Senate while neo-Nazi propaganda is disseminated to an audience of millions from your home. That's Mike Collins.
Dear Democrats,
You don't have to be perfectly fair and nuanced about the cost/benefits of data centers, or AI, or Flock cameras.
You can just demagogue the ever-loving shit out of *all* of it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer.
But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you.
Where's YOUR refund?
Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND
- targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs
- Epstein
- payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn
- rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases
- “war” on judiciary
- “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases
At some point you just have to conclude that the Trump supporters who are still left just knowingly love the lies, corruption and incompetence and have accepted it as their brand because nobody can be that naive and stupid.
The only election interference happening in this country is coming straight from the White House, and no amount of pathetic late night rambling from a failing, fading president will change anyone’s mind
I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
There are three main categories of activity that encompass the entirety of the Trump agenda: the illegal, the immoral and the unethical. Some activities fall in all three groups, some in just one or two. But every major initiative and action falls into one of these categories.
I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”
How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security?
We need answers. Right now.
18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.
anyways. give [waves hands] Events in our country, i think it's very much time for liberals to think about the importance of regulating inequality per se in order to preserve democracy. and this should go hand in hand with a much deeper rethinking of our economy.
Just a reminder that Trump gave an unprecedented path to entering the US to white South Africans while expelling millions of people with darker complexions. It's unadulterated white supremacy.
The Trump administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans in the United States. The move cuts short a two-year "parole" granted to the migrants under President Biden that allowed them to enter the country by air if they had US sponsors.
Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans:
1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk.
2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.
Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”
Note to the president: The people did not elect you king. They did not elect you to break the law. Every voter--pro-Trump, pro-Harris, and those who chose not to vote at all--had every reason to expect that whatever the agenda of the next president, it would be pursued within the bounds of the law.
I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it.
When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him.
Not without a fight.

You put your tariff in,
your tariff out,
In, out, in, out, shake it all about,
You do the hokum presidency and run the economy aground,
That's what it's all about.

REPORTER: Are you considering revoking the TPS status for the more than 20,000 Ukrainians who live here in the US?
TRUMP: What are you saying?
REPORTER: TPS status.
TRUMP: On GPS?
President Trump declared his desire to claim Greenland, to laughter in the chamber. No modern president has tried to expand the size of U.S. territory. Danish and Greenlandic policymakers believe Trump is entirely serious.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.*
There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.
NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga.
