NEW: Plaintiffs suing to halt Trump closure & renaming of Kennedy Center submit court filing arguing Team Trump is shielding 100s of records showing "Trump’s ongoing, direct management of the Kennedy Center", including Kennedy Ctr staff messages to Natalie Harp & Howard Lutnick

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does. His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.

They have nothing.

YES‼️👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼😡😡😡

"Women don't have a 'reliance interest' in the ongoing assurance of bodily autonomy." –Sam Alito

Kavanaugh accumulating quite a vibrant array of citizen stops for his collection. Guns drawn. Handcuffing. Just a 'minor inconvenience' to our most inebriated justice.

NEWS: Greg Abbott may be forced to turn over “embarrassing” and “intimate” communications with Elon Musk that were earlier redacted because of a public records request filed by Rep. Gina Hinojosa. @meidastouch.com

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Everyone learned the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Far fewer heard what #JackSmith actually told the Senate: that his team had developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump committed serious crimes. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days

This is a Christian Nationalist revival meeting masquerading as a defense department speech...

NEW: Kurt Olsen's resignation from the DOJ marked the latest Trump loyalist to bow out after failing to prove election conspiracies. The continuous string of resignations underscores that, despite Trump's ongoing push to prove false claims of voter fraud, the effort has come up empty.

Thank you for the shout-out. I can never thank you enough for your support over the years. It’s a tough go being an editorial cartoonist in 2026, but I’m lucky to work for a newspaper that still wants to do its job. @theglobeandmail.com

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

"Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew, huh, Donald." Katie Phang breaks down the latest blow to Donald Trump in his defamation suit against the BBC, with a judge ordering him to hand over financial records and green-lighting subpoenas for his inner circle.

Phang: Inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit, which speaks to the bigger success. Because the ultimate goal is the entirety of the Epstein files being produced, including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on…

Greatest ceasefire ever

"We won't know, in the short term, the damage!" Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on the impact of Bill Pulte taking over as Director of National Intelligence Warner blasts Pulte (a MAGA political ally of Trump) as wholly unqualified, with no security or intelligence experience

🔥 Charlamagne on Josh Hokit attacking Michelle: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency & class & poise & intelligence... Now that bar is in hell.”

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

Trump's illegal war in Iran is spiking inflation & prices nationwide. Trump’s & Senate Republicans’ solution: ignore rising costs & push for $1 BILLION for Trump's gold-plated ballroom — on the American taxpayers’ dime. All while taking no action on higher costs for the American people.

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

This is what it looks like when you sell your soul for ambition as the realization sets in that you boarded a sinking ship that is taking you down with it.

It’s hard to believe, but JD Vance has somehow found a way to be even more incompetent than Trump.

Too many Maine people lack access to housing, a human challenge that also exhausts ER services & correction resources.   This tiny home village is a win-win—providing safe housing and services for those who need it, & saving taxpayer dollars in the long-run. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

For context: Sen Grassley owns a family farm that his sons work. Notice he only calls out what directly impacts him & his family. What about tariffs on every other imported goods?

Nothing says “everything is under control” like someone constantly yelling at everyone not to panic

Senator Kennedy Apologizes for Iran Girls' School Massacre After Trump Blames Tehran. Sec Hegseth should apologize too! www.commondreams.org/news/kennedy...

NY Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases. We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

A new form of intimidation targets federal judges: hundreds of unsolicited pizzas sent to judges and their children across the country. It’s an innocuous delivery with an ominous message: “We know where you live.” cbsn.ws/4l4PoOC

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade." So why do it? "A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..." Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Tell Congress: No War with Iran act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

At least 6 Trump Cabinet members or senior administration officials were in contact with Epstein. It is unclear if these relationships w/ Epstein were raised in background checks or security clearances. Every agency involved declined to answer my questions. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
