Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

I’m not sure why, but I don’t trust Todd Blanche’s word that the criminal slush fund is dead. Let’s still get some legislation. Let’s make Republicans vote on that. Then see if Trump vetoes it.

James Talarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.

Watching all these GOP-controlled states race each other to gerrymander their districts before the 2026 midterms, it is hard for me to look at the timing of Callais and not conclude that the conservative justices decided the case on the earlier side to do their fellow Republicans a favor

ballsandstrikes.substack.comThe Republican Justices Want to Help Republican Politicians Win ElectionsThe Supreme Court just issued a decision making it easier for lawmakers to racially gerrymander their states. Republicans are already racing to take advantage.

Spirit specifically cited why they couldn’t stay in business: skyrocketing fuel costs due to Trump’s war. And the Trump admin is still trying to blame Biden for everything?! It’s May 2026. Trump was the “I’ll make everything cheaper on day 1” guy. The “no new wars” guy. Own your actions.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

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.

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they are the ones who need to “tone down their rhetoric.”

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

If you’re at or covering the absurd and corrupted White House Correspondents Dinner (and normalizing censorship and authoritarianism) you still have an obligation to ensure people know that Trump and Hegseth are openly and aggressively attacking the free press: to include Stars and Stripes.

The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

Today is day 127 of the ICE occupation of MN. ICE is still here. Neighbors are still being abducted. So we’re here too. Still carrying whistles. Still standing watch in our neighborhoods. Still doing mutual aid. Still fighting for ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

HASSAN: If directed by the president to take an action that would break the law, would you follow the law or the president? MULLIN: The president would never ask me to do that HASSAN: Well certainly everyday Americans who have served on juries would disagree with that

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."
