This is what Vance does. When something is too ugly to defend, he attacks the people who are upset about it. He threw away his conscience to join this administration, and now he wants you to do the same. Full story covered in today's show, link in comments below.

Here’s the ad that has Florida Republicans going the prior-restraint route. (The details of the grand-jury report have been widely known and shared for 2 months.)

Dear friends: Pope Leo needs all our prayers, as he now faces treatment for lung cancer. Let me suggest that we ask Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette to intercede for him, as well as for his doctors, nurses and caregivers, so that he might be quickly restored to full health.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Ken Paxton: The only thing that really saves us is that the Supreme Court came along and allowed Super PACs. Otherwise... I would be sitting here and never have a chance...

Mark Cuban: I believe in James Talarico. I believe very strongly that character is destiny. And that when people are tested — when it hits the fan, that's when real character emerges. James is truly ethical. You can believe in him, you can trust him.

This is a campaign video posted by the Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia YouTube account over a year ago. It has garnered only 30,000 views on YouTube. I'm sharing this on BlueSky because I believe it's some of the best Democratic messaging that I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more views.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Bad Bunny didn’t just ask for a seat at the table. He flipped it over and brought in a bigger one. A new America is emerging with a more expansive view of patriotism, love of country and Americanness. It’s coming! It’s here! Whether you like it or not.

I think everyone knew exactly what point Trump was making dropping shit on Americans.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people? MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

NEW: No fewer than 10 principle scientists at NIH investigating emerging infectious diseases and neural disorders were among those fired by RFK Jr. today. One is an esteemed scientist awarded for breakthrough research into the causes of Parkinson's disease. By me and @emilymullin.bsky.social:

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

This clip is 24 seconds long. If there are still billionaires who are not Trump Republicans, one of them should turn this into an ad and make sure everyone in America sees it.

BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.
