MORE fraud. A bipartisan committee created by Congress, America250, was planning our nation's 250th birthday- for years. But Trump created a different group, Freedom 250, & gave bank & routing numbers for THAT group to donors intending to contribute funds to America250. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I am ever more certain that the Republican President and his gang don't understand how cameras and the internet work. (Also, looking at these all in a row makes his decline so much more vivid.)

CNN host Laura Coates aired a supercut of clips spanning a decade as she contrasted President Donald Trump’s past rhetoric, trashing politicians for “getting rich” while in office, as she lambasted his recently revealed “billion-dollar windfall.”

In a sign of how explosive ICE knew this secret memo would be, one whistleblower says he was only allowed to read the memo and was barred from taking written notes, and warned that employees had been punished for disagreeing. At least one ICE instructor resigned rather than teach the illegal memo!

Yet the Clintons are in contempt after far less time. Some attempt at equitable treatment would be nice, Republicans.

For months now, Republicans have allowed Ghislaine Maxwell to defy a Congressional subpoena. Why isn't she being forced to tell us what she knows about Epstein? Why is she getting special treatment?

So, they have a concept of a plan to come up with "something." FFS.

Status update on House Republicans and a health care plan, after this morning’s conference meeting: “The consensus is we need to come up with something,” Rep. Ralph Norman says.

So what, exactly, is he so busy WITH that he doesn't have even a basic awareness of current political events? Does it take that much attention to NOT come to work?

Hegseth: "When it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat, those standards must be high and gender neutral. If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women for some combat jobs, so be it."

Every time I find myself being tempted to resubscribe to The Post, they do something to remind me why I unsubscribed in the first place.

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

Serious question: Can anyone explain to me what legal standing Kim Davis has to bring a case to the Supreme Court regarding same-sex marriage?

DC Statehood is a voting rights issue. DC Statehood is a racial justice issue. DC Statehood is a gun safety issue. DC Statehood is a reproductive justice issue.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

60 days of military in LA = 134 million (illegal, unnecessary) Birthday parade = 45 million (unnecessary, performative) TOTAL: 179 million (PLUS the 1st 100 days = 200 billion spent over 2024) Good news -- Lots of folks are getting together to share their opinions on this this weekend. Be safe.

nokings.orgNo KingsOn June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

So…are we all agreed that the focus on (and now, Congressional investigation into) Biden’s final pardons is a fairly blatant effort to rescind the pre-emptive pardons protecting the members of the January 6 commission?
