@ms.now another hegseth lie United States Navy vessels did not surrender in the Strait of Hormuz during the Biden administration. The incident you may be referring to occurred on January 12, 2016, when two small U.S. Navy riverine boats strayed into Iranian territorial waters
My husband loved to make popovers. This is one popover giving ice the middle finger from Minnesotans- I love the two words on the blanket in the background. #courage#resistance
McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."
NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse
Stephen Miller responding to AOC calling Miller a clown and saying he is angry that he is 4’10”: We knew her brain didn't work—now we know their eyes don't work.
As an FYI- I called Feenstra’s DC office to encourage him to vote with Massie- he disabled his phone- what a coward- but I did leave a message on his Ft. Dodge office.

When you lose Nick Fuentes
Nick Fuentes to Trump: "Fúck you. You suck. You're fat, you're a joke, you're stupid, you're not funny... This entire thing has been a scam. We're gonna look back at MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. The liberals were right we will see Trump as a scam artist."
I think I understand the McConnell statement of”they won’t care”- these Medicaid cuts don’t go into effect until 2027- ( and it’s likely I may not have it right)
BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing?
BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial
BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir
BESSENT: Job growth is solid
BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.
Look what Jake Tapper did to us.
His garbage book—which contains none of the proof it claims to include—is the foundation a vile madman will now use to justify ending our democracy by undoing actions he’d otherwise not be able to touch.
Democracy dies as Tapper swims in gold, Scrooge McDuck-style.

Every word that Scott Galloway said 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I feel it all to my core. I’ve been screaming this since Trump came down the escalator.
Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt.
Kevin O’Leary doesn’t even know what to do with his face.
here's the full clip of RFK Jr losing his shit at Patty Murray today during a hearing so badly that Republican Sen. Capito had to step in and tell him to "hold back"
MURPHY: The president has offered access to him at a dinner Thursday to the 200 top purchasers of his memecoin. Half or more of those who will be meeting w/ him are foreigners. Do you have a list?
RUBIO: I didn't even know there was a dinner Thursday night, so I don't know what you're referring to.
To the good people of the state of Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy wants to be your governor. He thinks you "want to be led," along with some jingoistic garbage. He sounds like another wannabe dictator.
Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

This is what the MAGA Republican majority is bringing for a vote this week
1️⃣ Undermine federal judges
2️⃣ Make it harder for millions of Americans to vote
3️⃣ Increase costs
I realize this may be unpopular- but I’m a firm believer that money is not the decider in elections. It’s outreach, volunteers and messaging that meets the moments .
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

here's video of AG Pam Bondi claiming on Fox last night that the Trump administration "absolutely" will keep doing deportation flights even in the face of court orders telling them to stop
