Where's The Beef?

Ken Paxton deletes his tweet referring to Cypress, Texas as “Cyprus” after James Talarico calls him out.

It is profoundly un-American for President Trump to ban my colleagues from the White House grounds. In protest, I plan to give him a good ribbing about that when we break bread at next year’s White House Correspondents Dinner.

Bloomberg reports that officials directly involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Peter Thiel’s Palantir Maven Smart System played a significant role in the February 28 U.S. strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.

My kids have measles, I can't afford gas or steak, I can't get a mortgage, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors. But at least now there are signs outside the Smithsonian accusing the curators of political bias.

Mitch McConnell's frail health raises new concerns about Joe Biden's advanced age.

Doctors say that the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania is likely due to low rates of vaccination. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his van says it’s caused by chemtrails. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Maybe the most important political story of our time. People just want the bullshit to stop.

What a surprise to learn that a Russian oligarch close to Putin paid for Junior’s lavish wedding. Who could’ve expected it?

America first? Don Jr. didn’t even have the decency to be bankrolled by an American oligarch.

Where’s this clip? Why is this one not going viral? Yeah

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

NEW: James Talarico holds event for puppies after new reports reveal that Ken Paxton protected puppy abusers.

This is how you know we need a wealth tax

victory lapping on this one

The Supreme Court just upheld the 14th Amendment’s promise that if you’re born here, you are a citizen. President Trump’s effort to upend birthright citizenship has been struck down for good.

ICE agents pepper-sprayed Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey.

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

BALLROOM REPUBLICANS

BREAKING: 16 years after Citizens United, Hawaii's S.B. 2471—a bill under which Hawaii would no longer grant corporations the power to spend in its politics—has passed both chambers with bipartisan support and is now one step away from Gov. Green’s desk… Eliminating “Citizens United” in Hawaii. 😎✨

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

They aren't giving away their wealth, but they are pumping it into our elections. The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

Well, it's nice to have it confirmed that the aggression in so many confrontations with ICE were actually not only encouraged but demanded. newrepublic.com/post/208362/...

The same people who were eagerly attending Trump cult rallies are criticizing No Kings. Belonging to a community(albeit toxic community) was a benefit of MAGA for a lot of people. Now they resent progressives engaging in their own community.

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

A pro-Iranian hacking group claimed Friday to have hacked an account of FBI Director Kash Patel and has posted online what appear to be years-old photographs of him, along with a work resume and other personal documents.

Jared Kushner is claiming to be a "volunteer" in his work as an envoy. But I don't think someone qualifies as a "volunteer" in a job where they are trying to shake down everyone they deal with for monetary compensation.

Videos show flames and a plume of thick smoke following an explosion at a Valero oil refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. Police have told local media they believe an industrial heater caused the blaze and there are no reports of injuries.
