The arena's official capacity was 4,633. tRump won 65% of the vote in 2024 in Lee County, where the rally was held. As usual, tRump took his "tRump" MAGA Rally Roadshow Traveling Circus Tour to a small venue in a deep red pocket. A wise move given tRump's approval rating is hovering near 30%.🤣

They’ve already started. They filed a suit today to effectively throw out Alaska’s election results if Dan Sullivan (the incumbent) doesn’t win

Trump’s personal Attorney General Todd Blanche doesn’t rule out challenging election certifications in various states (You are not alarmed enough)

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

He was a special needs student who had attended that school. What the fuck was his mother thinking, gifting a gun to him for his birthday? She's absolutely complicit and should be charged with murder.

🚨SENATE BLUE WAVE ALERT: Nate Silver’s model now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of winning the Senate — with the current polling map pointing to a possible 54–46 Democratic majority. Even a 2-point polling miss still leaves Democrats ahead, 52–48. Keep pushing. Vote. Volunteer. Donate.

The right is spending the day complaining that Abdul El-Sayed was "rude" and "a bully" to Tommy the Republican Operative at his town hall, which is hilarious given how they had nothing to say about a woman getting beaten up at a Trump rally as the president cheered on.

Congress passed a law forcing new sanctions and tariffs on Russia. Two days before it kicked in, Trump signed an order waiving it. Read that twice. Then ask who the law was for. Trump is a Russian asset.

THE REFLECTING POOL REPORT‼️ The $14.7 MILLION renovation: 📌 85 liner failures 📌 8 of 10 expansion joints buckled 📌 40 locations blistered or peeled 📌 Refilled after ONE DAY, not the recommended 72 hours Prosecutors later acknowledged contractor errors. Charges dropped.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

“Pro-life” apparently comes with an execution clause.

Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.
