Brooke Rollins: If beef is too expensive, you can eat chicken, eggs, other great sources of protein.

I'm sure if Obama had gotten us into a costly quagmire of a war and then spent all his time posting cartoons about how cool he was, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all.

If Mike Lee wants us to crack down on criminals who try to subvert our elections, I know where we can start.

When Sullivan told Judge Subramanian this was an "oversight," someone behind me in the gallery let out an audible gasp. bsky.app/profile/anna...

Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social

With respect to the statement that the investigation was "not public," AUSA Kevin Sullivan admitted that was "not correct." The judge also asked why DOJ failed to inform the magistrate that the subpoena involved reporters. Sullivan said that was an "oversight." bsky.app/profile/anna...

Buttigieg: The fact that the Trump admin deleted references to 4 American service members killed in action b/c that simple and tragic reality complicates their narrative that we're not at war, when everybody knows that we are, shows how far from reality they are. I think voters are fed up with it.

OSSOFF: So we entered this war on false pretenses. Sound familiar? Not the first time the United States has been dragged into a quagmire in the Middle East on false pretenses about weapons of mass destruction.

POCAN: I think the problem is you're talking to rich people. Maybe this will help. Who pays tariffs? LOEFFLER: 80% of tariffs are paid by foreign countries POCAN: Okay. That would be like me saying I have long flowing red hair. It's complete BS. Small businesses pay tariffs.

MAGA: 2016 was fair! (Obama was President) 2020 was rigged! (Trump was President) 2024 was fair! (Biden was President) They’re going to rig 2026! (Trump is President) Why is Donald Trump so fucking bad at securing elections according to MAGA?

Not just one but *two* news stories today about Trump abusing people and then falsely claiming they are obsessed fans He is a serial rapist who engages in the same patterns of behavior in every environment he enters

I can’t find a link on BlueSky, but I would encourage everyone to listen to Obama’s Fourth of July remarks from today. Then, compare them to the absolute bile you’re going to hear from Trump tonight. Our government doesn’t have to be a walking clown show. Vote accordingly.

Democrats are preparing a hostile audit of Trump and his inner circle, intent on exposing — and ultimately ending — the most lucrative presidency in American history. Dems see the presidential gold rush as corruption personified — and plan to bury Trump's orbit in subpoenas if they win the House.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Ah yes, the president always gets briefed on “very boring” things that don’t exist. Totally normal. Translation: the book is accurate

Literally everyone saw this coming. 🚨 Turns out firing respected journalists and blowing up 60 Minutes wasn’t a winning ratings strategy after all. CBS is paying the price.

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin says he'll file a discharge petition in an effort to force a House vote on his legislation to permanently block Trump's slush fund and the related Trump DOJ deal to bar investigation of his and his family's past tax activities.

Over 5 million people have lost their healthcare coverage because Republicans corruptly gave their ultra-wealthy donors $1 trillion in tax cuts. For the GOP, their donors' pockets matter more than everyday Americans' access to affordable healthcare. Shameful.

First to MS NOW: Senate Democrats are calling on the Postal Service not to move ahead with new mail-in ballot regulations that, they say, will "establish President Trump's control over federal elections." Democrats fear the USPS could be transformed "into a federal election administration agency."

Cassidy on what he said to Trump: "You have not told the American people what's going on. It was supposed to last for four weeks, it's lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved. And I want to know what's going on. He did not particularly care for my comments."

Michelle Obama to Barack: "You never fell for the temptation of a quick fix, or an easy pay day. You never changed from that idealistic summer associate who showed up on that rainy day when we first met without an umbrella. You always gave us the very best within in you."

Insane. Russia has a literal ring of integrated, layered air defense systems surrounding Moscow. This drone swarm defeated: Electronic warfare, S-300 and S-400 (long range), Pantsirs (medium-short range), Tor-M2s (short range) air defenses and mobile machine gun teams.
