Of course, the sexual predator in chief defends mocking 12 year old rape victims

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

"You are an abuser of women—that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego" -Imagine what a POS you would have to be for your own mother to say this about you, Pete Hegseth.

A well-done ad.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump on Springfield: "All of the sudden they dropped 35,000 people in from Haiti. It didn't work out too well. Remember during the debate, I said something of the things they were doing. I was right. It turned out I was right. I won't get into the exact -- I was right."

Low-hanging fruit for reporters and Dem trackers: ask a Republican running for office, "what would you do if you were in a car with your child and men in hoodies charged at you with guns drawn?" Follow up with "do you think it's reasonable for a parent in that situation to use lethal force?"

If people remember Padres-Brewers, and I think they will, I hope it's that two fairly evenly-matched teams who play sound fundamental baseball is always more exciting than two sluggers on each side and a bunch of guys getting a paycheck.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Telling a Black woman who is a descendant of enslaved people to leave America, JD Vance. I do not know what to say. Even I didn't believe you would go this low.

this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

ProPublica: In 2024, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping pay-to-play investigation examining interactions between Sen. Susan Collins and a top donor, records and emails show. After Trump returned to office, the investigation died.

Raskin should’ve answered by asking this question: “Do you ask guests who are Republican members of Congress to react to clips of vile things said by Nick Fuentes, Laura Loomer, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Elon Musk, among others?”

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

I always found “Ginsberg and Scalia loved to go to the opera together” stories repugnant (you should never be friends w someone who hated gay ppl w the ecstatic glee Scalia hated them w), but feel like Kennedy Center would be safer w them to uphold whatever stay Trump’s SCOTUS lackeys will reverse.

Trump out of nowhere decided to stab South Korea in the back in favor of his preferred political alliance with communist North Korea. As Kim Jung Un sends 50,000 soldiers to help Russia kill Ukrainians, Trump has declared North Korea "unthreatening and respectful."

Yesterday your daughter got a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller to stop him from harassing her lawyer—after accusing him of abusing her and your 2-year-old granddaughter. But rather than condemn him, you’re on a press tour harassing an 85-year-old scientist. Shameless.

Hey, remember when Fauci privately told a reporter on Feb 7th 2020 that Covid was "more deadly than even your strenuous flus... This is deadly stuff" but then told a public press conference on Feb 27th 2020: "This is a flu. This is like a flu"? Oh wait! That was... Donald Trump.
