🚨Ex-GOP political strategist Steve Schmidt has called for the “immediate removal” of Donald Trump’s son-in-law from “every diplomatic assignment” following an explosive report alleging that Jared Kushner secretly had access to roughly $1.75 billion in Gulf money while serving in the White House.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

“You didn’t protect my son!” Netanyahu heckled by the father of a 10/7 victim at a memorial ceremony. (Netanyahu was reportedly warned an attack was coming and did nothing — then said nobody woke him up that morning🤔)

Vote them out. They are openly grifting and giving themselves privileges on our taxpayer money while not paying taxes themselves and cutting our entitlements.

Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social

JD Vance has asked for another chance. We literally can't afford it.

Can we make a law that excludes from immunity actions taken without requisite Congressional approvals? So that there is personal liability from demolishing property that belongs to the people? And misusing our tax dollars for one’s own ego or grift is reimbursable with interest?

Ron White: Eight of Ken Paxton’s assistants turned him into the FBI for fraud... They sued and won $6 million. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He’s a criminal.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare. The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

Racism is far more unAmerican than immigrants ever were. We need to stop tolerating this Nazi crap being peddled now as forcefully as Ms Miller decries whitewashing slavery.

Andrea Devon@andreadevon.sheshed.rocks

“The Civil War was fought over slavery… What we will not do is skate past the history of my ancestors.” Tanya Miller delivered a powerful speech on American slavery, Confederate monuments and rewriting history. Worth hearing again. She’s running for Attorney General of Georgia. 🔥 #VivaHerAlliance

Taxpayers have covered ~$101.2 million in golf-trip travel/security costs since January 2025, while 2026 disclosures show $155,000 in cash gifts to four White House aides, including Natalie Harp.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

On the same day that David Ellison claims he's not putting his finger on the scale, there's this: "CBS’s 60 Minutes had the scoop on Jeffrey Epstein’s sketchy financials—before the Bari Weiss–run network fired the reporter fronting the investigation."

The New Republic@newrepublic.com

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

TINA SMITH: Researchers in MN made a breakthrough in childhood cancer in Black kids with a grant. But it seems that according to your proposed rule, this type of research wouldn't allowed bc it's 'DEI.' VOUGHT: We are against DEI policies. We have intended to rid of them whenever we possibly can.

CEOs of the largest companies in America make 281 times what the typical worker makes. Since 1978, pay for these CEOs has skyrocketed 1,094%. Typical worker pay? 26%. So no, your $5 coffee isn’t why you can’t afford rent.

By definition, people who commit sexual assault show themselves willing to abuse power and a lack of control over their worst impulses. Not leadership material. Why does it feel so many people willing to abuse power are deciding our fates?

Money for gold, over-priced algae-filled pools to pad grifters’ pockets, and failed, ill-advised ward but not children’s healthcare. So pro-life. 🙄

Once you kill a child, or your policies and actions lead to the death of children, whatever the case may be, it doesn't matter how many satellites you put into space, what anyone says you are or aren't, or how much wealth you amass. At the end of the day, you are a child killer.

Come on. They aren’t even pretending to care about anything other than stuffing their aging pockets with cash.

Before becoming a top official at the Environmental Protection Agency, Aaron Szabo was a lobbyist for the oil and gas industry. Metadata shows he helped draft a trade group’s 2022 letter to the EPA objecting to controls on methane emissions. (Published April)
