There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

"All of them said, right before they died, their very last words, incredibly dramatic moment, they said, 'President Trump is the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.' True story!"

Trump on fallen US troops: "All of them said very strongly, 'We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'"

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Actually, we *should* be able to expect the president of the United States to be able to restrain himself from personally threatening to kill the negotiators from another country. It's not that unreasonable at all, you pathetic toady.

JD Vance: "What we told the Iranians yesterday is that when you guys engage in what us millennials might call trash talk, you can't expect the president of the United States not to respond and not to correct the record." (Trump threatened to assassinate Iran's negotiators yesterday ... )

Stefon: “It’s the hottest place in DC right now. It has everything. Water like curdled pea soup. Bigger paint chips than a 1960s tenement. An angry orange man yelling, ‘Find the vandals!’ Fish and birds floating upside-down from hydrogen peroxide poisoning. And the smell of a mossy urinal.”

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

BREAKING A federal judge has ordered the Kennedy Center to remove President Trump's name from the facade, website, letterhead, and official materials. Congress named the Center by statute in 1964 - and the judge ruled only Congress can change it.

This moment requires a proportionate response and any timid centrist pushing this poll-focused, triangulating, bipartisan pablum needs to be put out to pasture. Go big or go home.

OMG. The GOP's Project 2025 promised to radically remake government and they've destroyed almost every instituion and turned the Constitution on its head. The Dems are going to answer that with Project 2029. The agenda: "Utility Monopoly" "Child care" "Kids over clicks" and "The annoyance economy."

They think that you’ll just move on after they dodged your question once or twice cause you have limited time. I’m more than happy to spend my entire time getting the answer to my damn question.

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.   My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.

Military experts say it will be difficult for the United States to retrieve Iran's nuclear materials. An elderly rapist who shits himself in public says it will be easy. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

We don't need to give ICE agents more training. We need to subject them to rigorous oversight and, when they commit crimes, we need to prosecute them. The only education they need is to learn that they can and will be held accountable for what they do in the field.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."
