@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Noem should be called before congress immediately to explain how discontinuing Global Entry & TSApre does anything to mitigate the DHS shutdown. These are essential personnel & the services require less personnel to administer. It’s a petty & vindictive move.

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

It was the stupidest of times, it was the even stupider than stupidest of times

NYTimes coverage of Trumps potential strikes on Iran fail to mention he is not allowed to drop bombs without congressional approval. The NY Times, and journalists on the whole, are failing the public. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Everything is binary now. Either you are working to save the country by stopping MAGA or you are part of the problem. And yes, that means if you are doing nothing, you are part of the problem. @djrothkopf.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

If you have time for a book tour with your new friend Dave, you have time for a town hall.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Dems imagine that trans rights, immigrant rights, are ballast—weight they can shed to gain altitude. Human rights, community care, ardent attention to the dignity of all people—it’s not ballast. It’s the air in the balloon.

@fetterman.senate.gov if only PA had a senator smart enough to see this coming.

I was assured by very smart boy @schumer.senate.gov that this sort of thing could only happen under a govt shutdown. And that’s why he and @democrats.senate.gov HAD to vote alongside the GOP to give the Trump/Musk regime everything they wanted.

@fetterman.senate.gov here’s the guy you voted to confirm as SOS. Own it.

@fetterman.senate.gov hope you’re feeling good about your yes vote for Rubio, a Putin supporter. And bonus, he’s made it impossible for transgender citizens to get a passport with their correct gender identity. Remember when you said protecting trans rights was a line in the sand for you? Me too

Musk has had no problem naming individual federal employees he thinks should be fired (see article). Now he wants anonymity and zero oversight for his officials who are creating a constitutional crisis. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/fake-jobs-...

And every Democratic senator voted for his confirmation.

@washingtonpost.com won’t publish this so I thought I’d share it.

Trump knows he can do absolutely outrageous things because his opposition is so married to decorum that they've never noticed how effective the GOP's obstinance has become. Even when the dems cave, his PR team still spins it as if they were the holdup, just as with the shutdown last month.
