Oh how I miss this man.

OBAMA: Remember that whole thing about drain the swamp? The only thing that got drained. was the reflecting pool after some no-bid contract got it all messed up. And then they tried to blame a 3 time Olympian by claiming he vandalized it.

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

America has been big enough include people whose families came, were here before anybody else showed up, or who were brought here despite themselves. His view of America is small -- small like him"

This is not a drill. 🙏 Please share this thread. This week, North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein sounded the alarm about new vote-by-mail rules that have already gotten thousands of absentee ballots tossed. Keep reading 👇

that's real weird because there were Maine Indivisible groups in your office every single day during the Kavanaugh confirmation repeatedly telling you he was going to do exactly that

Susan Collins on Kavanaugh: "I'm very disappointed in his his vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. There was no way for me to anticipate that."

Susan Collins hasn't changed? From 1997 - 2016 she voted with the GOP on party line votes 59% of the time. In 2017 she voted with Trump 90% of the time. In 2025 she voted with him 95%. So many media folks desperate to make the pickle Collins finds herself in someone else's fault. #MEpolitics

No regrets attending that game with my favorite #USWNT fan yesterday! Audi showed out despite the curse. My two cents: It’s good to face real competition and I’ll be fascinated to see how Emma adjusts over the next year. Seems to me she needed a certain redhead defensive midfielder out there 🤔

And shoutout to Purina for giving away these incredible dog kits! Can’t wait to stuff my long-suffering scruffy gal into it.

Vibes are great at the game despite the score - looking forward to watching this one back on tv later. Game is FAST.

I’ve been in Chicago for five days and last night got hit with this beautiful sense of freedom from Trump. I’ve been walking miles every day in this gorgeous, thriving city without National Guardsman, his mugshot pic on building banners, and fenced-off public space everywhere. (1/2)

There is so much we need to regain as a city once this era is over. Feeling free again, owning destinies again (as much as we can without statehood), feeling ownership of our city again… that’s all healing and it’s all going to take time, but the joy I feel here reminds me we can get it back. (2/2)

Doing the January 6th Commission but for DOGE could splash this on TV and social media for weeks. Imagine the impact.

Bitch, if anyone wants to get rid of Thanksgiving it’s the people responsible for making it impossible to afford food.

This is an elementary school. National Guard and FBI plus a circling helicopter showed up this morning at yet another DC elementary school, this time in Ward 1. These gangs of armed agents terrify children and cause fear among families. It's time for federal agents to leave our communities alone.

Call me crazy, but “they’re such grifters they get Russians to pay for their weddings even though they’re already millionaires” would irk a lot of regular folks saving up for regular weddings.

Wow... “If I’m paying for your wedding, at some point, you’re going to owe me something,” said Frank Montoya Jr., a retired career FBI official who held senior counterintelligence roles.

Spirit hive, I swear I see Lucia in the latest training video - am I crazy? Still doing deep-dive ponytail analysis on whether I also spot Leicy…

For reasons that I believe need examination and explaining, credible news organizations have not made this their lead story every day this summer. If a Dem president did this in one red state it would be nuclear level coverage.

Steve Benen@stevebenen.com

Ahead of the midterms, Trump isn’t even being subtle about his brazen politicization of federal disaster relief aid, explicitly tying approvals to campaign endorsements and election results. It’s one of the underappreciated scandals of his second term. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

washington dc is owed both statehood and reparations for what trump has done to them

Donald Trump staged a hostile takeover of the US’s 250th anniversary celebration to enrich political allies, harvest voter data and promote Christian nationalist ideology, according to a congressional investigation released on Thursday.

The Trump hatred is currently off the charts in the Toronto airport, where it’s been announced Trump closed the DCA airspace tonight for yet another air show. Get that man a hobby besides watching planes and growing algae.
