Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

Elissa Slotkin warns Trump could "make up a threat" ahead of 2026 midterms: "If you hear in next 34 days that there is new security threat, that requires federal law enforcement or military, not local police, an alarm bell should go off in your brain. Do not let him get away with that."🇺🇸

Mayor Zohran Mamdani directed his administration to release documents related to the air quality around the World Trade Center site in the months after the Sept. 11 attacks. He said city leaders “lied” about the air quality being safe around the site after the attacks. nyti.ms/4zXD3Tv

The normally conservative Wall Street Journal just ran “The Dumbest Trade War Revisited,” arguing that “Trump’s decision to escalate a tariff brawl with Canada makes no economic or political sense.” When even the WSJ is calling trump's trade war dumb, he's in trouble.

Chris Wright now says there may be no deal with Iran after all: "There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it. An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply don't know that."

Based on this decision, Trump could demolish the White House and replace it with a Trump Casino & Resort and no one could stop him as long as he could find a government official willing to chant the magic words "national security"

#BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote (with Chief Justice Roberts joining the three Democratic appointees in dissent), #SCOTUS grants a stay pending appeal in the ballroom case, clearing the way for Trump to continue building the ballroom indefinitely while the litigation proceeds.

Amazing how the Supreme Court really doesn’t think laws apply to the president. Benjamin Franklin would beat Kavanaugh with his cane.

Pete Buttigieg’s efforts to help Dems regain power are taking on a new focus: state legislatures. He is backing a crop of mostly long-shot, down-ballot Dems in Indiana – the first move in what his team says will be a number of state-by-state endorsements. 🔗 politi.co/4wUBZ0v

Mamdani: "If a New Yorker looks at what ICE is doing and wants to see more of it, they should vote for Bruce Blakeman, who has created his own militia in Nassau County. If they look at what ICE is doing and they are shocked by the inhumanity and cruelty, they should vote for Gov. Kathy Hochul."

Yes. This is what worries me too.

Hey Marco Rubio: Stop spreading propaganda. Cuba is NOT a national security threat to the United States. You have no business being Secretary of State or holding any elected or appointed office.
