Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began" "We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created" "This is insanity"

See how this works?

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General? First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I am now in my 55th year of being an imminent millionaire.

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump I’m shocked and sickened

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes* Arkansas state house special election. Flip from R to D.

At least 169 people were killed after insurgents raided a village in a remote area of South Sudan, a local official said Monday. It's the latest bout of sporadic violence that has left the country teetering on the verge of full-blown civil war. https://to.pbs.org/3MSJ7sI

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

the ONLY reason tRump hasn't fired anyone this term is because they ALWAYS talk once they're gone. it's inevitable.

Security detail provided by the US Marshals Service for budget chief and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is being paid for by the $15M left in funding for the now gutted USAID. Cuts in USAID will contribute to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, with 2/3 of them being children.

Breaking WSJ: The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

LOL it would be WILD if Bondi called the top. 🤡 @barrons.com www.barrons.com/articles/dow...

Forty years ago, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after lifting off. All seven astronauts aboard died, plunging the nation into mourning. https://to.pbs.org/49PLu8o

Shit bird of the week. Introducing the latest no-name MAGA suit attempting to push Canada around. These threats have become a dime a dozen. It's time for Canada to move on.

To this day, Don Trump thinks those who seek asylum in the U.S. have escaped from a mental health asylum. What a dumb fuck President.

MS NOW: Should there be accountability for Stephen Miller? WALZ: There better be

The Trump administration is going after voter rolls in multiple states. This is a prelude to major bad stuff coming.

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

As a kid, I watched my mom dread getting the utility bill. As governor, I’ll fight to lower costs for families and power CA with clean energy—day one.

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

The soon-to-be-signed Trump-Schumer Deal is a betrayal of the American people. I'll tell you why: ICE has all the money it needs from the "Big Beautiful Bill"—it's the other spending bills Trump is worried about. Schumer's about to give him all he wants.

Just think about what would be happening in the US right now if Kamala had been elected.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.

Seems like a good video for his trial

In the last 60 minutes, the President has posted 56 times on Truth Social.

Thank you, Mr. President.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
