New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Inflation today is higher than when Trump took office in January 2025, higher than when he launched his chaotic tariffs in April 2025, and higher than when he launched his illegal war in Iran five months ago. Trump’s decisions are driving up costs and eating into your paycheck.

Immigration detention has never been humane. But under the Trump administration, every standard of “care” has been neglected. No family should have to pray that their loved ones come out of detention alive.

Speaking with The Guardian, Kurdish asylum seeker Gabar Choli detailed Monday the torture he says he endured while held at an ICE detention center in Texas, the latest account of brutal conditions migrants face amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Hinojosa: 2018, Beto ran against Ted Cruz. That’s the closest we came to flipping Texas. This year, for my primary, I got twice as many votes as Beto got in 2018, even though I had eight opponents, because there’s just more energy. So, this is our year and our best chance in 25-plus years to win.

Oh, the horror! 🙄🙄🙄

NEW: My open letter to David Ellison. You argued that the American people have misjudged you — that they are wrong about what is in your heart and mind. I want to be clear: I don’t care what you think or feel. What I care about is your actions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

HOLY HELL: Trump just claimed childhood vaccines are “the size of a bottle of soda poured into a little child’s body.” Actual dose: 0.5 mL. Soda bottle: 355 mL. That’s not a mistake. That’s manufacturing fake medical “proof” in real time.

REMINDER:

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.

Trump: “Here is another example of a crazy pro-algae (likely paid) protestor. The sign says, ‘First they came for the algae…’ which is in reference to a famous post-WW2 statement about Germans not speaking out against Nazis ‘…Then they came for the Jews, & I did not speak out—bc I was not a Jew “

Mamdani: When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept.

This capitulation deal with Iran is Trump’s Yalta moment. Yalta agreement was a failure. It was built on unenforceable agreements & Soviet compliance. Roosevelt was frail, fatigued suffering from hypertension & congestive heart failure. The strain foreshadowed his death 2 months later in April 1945.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
