Trump: "It's going to be the greatest ballroom and military complex combination ever built!" (Has any ballroom/military complex EVER been built?!)

Can Susan Collins point to a single deciding vote she’s made on any key piece of legislation or confirmation against Trump? No, she cannot. Her rare votes against are intentionally meaningless to fool Maine voters.

Trump repeatedly says Kim Jong Un "is a friend of mine" and "likes Trump" and Trump says, "I like him"

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

We should consider developing a standing body of government officials who are trained in diplomacy and can be sent around the world to negotiate the interests of the USA, so the president doesn't have to send his grifting son-in-law, who doesn't have any skills or training or government clearances.

Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, held a rare meeting with Hamas leadership Sunday in Egypt, in a new diplomatic effort to make progress in the stalled Gaza ceasefire. n.pr/4zle6kh

Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases

Not that we didn't know this already but having ICE - whose jurisdiction has absolutely NOTHING to do with elections - investigate voter fraud gives away the game. ICE is no longer a legal entity bound by laws and norms, it's Trump's personal force, focusing on whatever he wants.

NEW: DHS plans to pay Thomson Reuters $125 million for access to its databases which includes peoples’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, ethnicity, social media posts, and geolocation information — to help ICE investigate “voter fraud”, according to documents reviewed by 404 Media.

Replying to @lazer-cat.bsky.social

Tear down all the monuments, rip out all the gold, rename the airports, put roses in the fucking rose garden. That's the platform I vote for. Hard-core radiation therapy for the whole country, and erase this bullshit so we can restart as cleanly as possible.

All of Trump's policies have been--to one degree or another--inflationary War: inflationary Deficit: inflationary Tariffs: inflationary Politicizing the Fed/loose money advocacy: inflationary Immigration: inflationary Cuts to renewables: inflationary Corruption: inflationary

How come when Congressional Democrats do something folks don't like, it's the "Democratic Party," but when Congressional Republicans do something folks don't like, it's "Congress"?

The country is at war and energy prices are spiking and all he can talk about is his precious ballroom. He knows more about the construction and detail details of this white elephant than he does about the people that are overseas fighting right now.

There's a twisted cosmic symmetry to both Putin and Trump getting themselves embroilled in endless costly conflicts they're too proud to extracate themselves from, which they failed to warn their allies they'd be fighting, and which they baselessly assumed would be easy victories won within days.

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose

That would be a “no.”

Q: Can you assure the public that Trump, like every other prominent person whose name came up in the Epstein files, that all docs, photos, and anything relevant to him is being released? BLANCHE: I mean, yes. I can assure we complied with the statute and did not protect President Trump

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

Have you ever, in your entire life, had a 46-day paid vacation? House Republicans are enjoying that right now while millions of families struggle to make ends meet without a paycheck.

daggatt.bsky.social reposted

This is your reminder that millions of Americans will lose food benefits this weekend because Trump is refusing to tap his emergency fund. Kids will go to school hungry because of this cruelty.

I don’t understand why there’s not wall-to-wall coverage of the fact that House Republicans are on a 5-WEEK TAXPAYER-FUNDED VACATION… while working families wonder if they’ll lose SNAP benefits.

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

What if he’s … a fascist?

Bash: "Do you believe in free speech?" Sen. Markwayne Mullin: "Absolutely I believe in free speech...There's a thin line between free speech and when it crosses a line and causes violence. When you start calling someone 'fascist'...there is a problem."

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

Musk is in pickle. He’s a one-man right-wing disinformation bot. But he wants to win the AI wars (or at least benefit insanely from AI). His right-wing fanboys are demanding disinformation from his AI. Which would make for crap AI.

KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.” @sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.

If you think this moment is about one politician or one press conference, you’re missing the point. This is about speaking up for every single American and fighting for our constitutional rights.

The Supreme Court had affirmed repeatedly that you have a Constitutional right to trash talk police as long as you’re not obstructing them.

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

This is state-sponsored terrorism.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

Only a matter of time before Whiskey Pete feeds the war plans through Grok.
