I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.
Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in elections in the past two years, which experts say may violate state election law.
ProPublica and @texastribune.org linked him to a home in suburban Dallas since February.
For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.
Kristi Noem on Alex Pretti: "I did not call him a domestic terrorist. I said it appeared to be an incident of."
Also Kristi Noem: " This individual…committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.”
The elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Musk and Trump who are bleeding this country dry.
Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
BREAKING: Justice Alito takes call from Trump, right as Trump's lawyers sought stay to stop Trump's criminal sentencing in NYC.
Alito claims it was to help a former clerk get a job.
Doesn't matter. Federal law requires Alito now be DISQUALIFIED from the Trump stay petition.
The devastation across Los Angeles County is unlike anything I've ever seen.
We're getting resources from across the state and across the country to battle these blazes.
And we're going to get through this. Together.
Speaker Mike Johnson on Fox & Friends suggests Biden's "wide open border" played a role in the New Orleans attack. Again, the perpetrator was born in Texas and served in the US military.
