I can’t wait for Texas to shock the country. We’ve been working for this for 30 years. Voting on Wednesday.

This man’s ego. The Kennedy Center is in contempt of court because they are putting up a white sheet to block people from viewing the removal of his name.

For reference they started putting up the unnecessary cover around 12:30am est. not even halfway up over two hours later. The judge should definitely consider that when determining fines to the board g pi r contempt.

At this rate they’re not even going to meet the 12 hour extension they requested, which I don’t think was granted anyway.

That is why it took so long to build the scaffolding. The plaintiffs should take them to court tonight for contempt.

It takes them about 30min to install one panel of white plastic blocking the view. They will have to put up at least 8-12 panels to cover the whole thing. Literally delaying the judge’s order to appease Trump’s ego of not letting anyone see his name removed. They are 2 hours past deadline.

How am I spending my Friday night? Watching the livestream of the Kennedy Center has they take his name down. I’ve been waiting for this.

Cool cool. We out here just committing war crimes.

And there you have it. A fake assassination attempt to support his stupid ballroom.

56,497 companies already applied to get $166 BILLION in refunds for Donald Trump's illegal tariffs. But where’s Trump’s plan to give the American people their money back? Every second that ticks by with no refund for American families is theft in broad daylight.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

🔥 🇭🇺 MAGYAR: “It feels good to be here — this factory of lies will be put to an end.” Hungary’s prime minister-elect Péter Magyar vows to shut down the country’s state broadcaster M1 (Hungary’s Fox News) after his landslide election victory over Orbán.

What the absolute fuck is this? Since when do American elected leaders stump for candidates in other countries. What the fuck is this. Also grounds for impeachment.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

Seems to me if you think you have divine sanction for your warmongering when it goes badly you have to consider the opposite proposition but they never seem to!

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

So happy to see the incomparable @warren.senate.gov getting recognition for fighting for affordability, which has been her life’s work.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

Today, the Senate passed the ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan bill to expand the housing supply and make housing more affordable. I was proud to vote for this bill championed by @warren.senate.gov. The House must pass this vital reform without delay.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission. Full statement from the band:

INBOX: the Democratic National Committee is forced to delete a premature congratulatory message to former Rep. Tom Malinowski in the #NJ11 special election primary to succeed Gov. Mikie Sherrill this morning. DSA member Analilia Mejia, running on abolishing ICE, took the lead late last night.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
