True Blue. Vote to win, not to "make a point". Unicorns don't exist.

It’s not just about affordability. Maybe for the first time since 1974, voters say their main concern heading into the midterms is corruption in government. Great to see.

Blatant stochastic terrorism.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

“That’s insanity on two grounds. As policy, how can a nation exist without an immigration agency, and politically, it’s a gift to troubled Republicans,” - Al Hunt "Democratic" strategist on abolishing ICE. For starters, there was no ICE until 2003. We did just fine without them.

A lot of Senators reluctantly voting for Blanche saying he's shown some bad judgement in the past but they trust him moving forward. I'm just curious if they have even one example of him showing *good* judgement? Just one.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Reminder Ken Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas pardoned his friend who was in jail for raping a boy for years. Oh well, let's move on.

Kelly: What are the American people getting out of this conflict with Iran right now? Iran wasn’t about to develop a nuclear weapon. Their enrichment went up because Donald Trump tore up the JCPOA. So this conflict is of Donald Trump’s doing and making.

I REALLY want to see James Comey file suit to claim money from Trump's DoJ "anti-weaponization" fund. If anyone can figure out a way, it's him and his lawyers. And man, it's a perfect fit. And just dessert for Trump.

Innocent people in power don't hide things about themselves. They don't shield themselves from investigation and prosecution through "official" actions. These are the deeds of the guilty. The behavior of a dictator.

JD Vance keeps lying about California's aggressive fight against fraud. We've walked the walk with nation-leading fraud prevention and have protected billions. Meanwhile, JD's boss is pardoning convicted fraudsters and literally stuffing his pockets with YOUR tax dollars.

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

"My kippa has been a powerful symbol for Palestinian Israelis ... one time when a Palestinian cashier at my local supermarket approached me in the middle of the dairy aisle and said, "Thank you on behalf of all us." Another time, the guy fixing my flat tire noticed it and actually began crying."

This post is unavailable.

So apparently Trump will only be able to attend events in the ballroom from now on? His security is so bad that he can never leave the WH again... According to MAGA logic, that is.

Trump’s priorities are clear and disgusting. He is making America less safe.

ProPublica@propublica.org

In February 2025 alone, the DOJ dropped nearly 11,000 cases — the most in a month since at least 2004. The previous high was just over 6,500 cases in September 2019, during Trump’s first administration.

Trump said we didn't have the money for starving kids in other countries, so he let them die by the HUNDREDS of thousands. But he's willing to make available our entire treasury for rich, European dictators.

You all have that “friend”. The one you don’t trust. The one who covets your stuff and is always asking to borrow money. The one constantly pulling you into their toxic drama and getting you in trouble. The one you should have walked away from years ago, but you feel bad coz they’d be all alone.

Imagine you set fire to the house next door, then tell them to put it out before the whole neighborhood goes up. Imagine having that conversation while pouring gas on the fire. Now imagine you're Donald Trump speaking to the world.

Here's the thing. I too think we need Nuremberg-type trials after we take down the Trump regime. The key word there though?: AFTER. Let's get him, and ALL his cronies, out of power first. Then we can think about what we do with them when power is back in the hands of the people.

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

Remember back when Trump was sinking fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela? THAT was a war crime and we all said it was just a test run for Trump to see if he could get away with it. Well, here we are now with his SecDef threatening "no quarter" to a country WE attacked. AKA: a war crime.
