I didnât really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the âpathological irony of crisisâ: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
California stepping up.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldnât go along with the lie. (Seriously, thatâs the answer)
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in schoolâŠ

I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says âCan I help you find something?â âIâm looking for the obituaries.â âThe obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.â âNot the one Iâm looking for.â
ââŠI am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.â My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."
New in PN: Alert the media â the WH is lying about Trump's health "Something's clearly up & the official explanations donât make sense. Thatâs not a shock given that Trump is a liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But itâs past time for reporters to ask some questions."
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
why are we talking about what Lisa Cook may have done when we know that Donald Trump put down on a loan document that his 10k sq foot condo was 32k square feet?
NEW: The Texas Republican lawmaker who blocked Democratsâ effort to filibuster the stateâs gerrymander suggested âshoot, shovel and shut upâ as a way to deal with immigrants â a comment that could boost legal efforts to block the stateâs map. From: @jenrice.bsky.social
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
Sums up America in 2025 pretty well Iâd say
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
EPSTEIN Epstein Epstein Epstein Government buying stake in private companies: socialism Epstein Epstein Epstein President having stakes in those companies: corruption Epstein Epstein Epstein Worrying about Cracker Barrel logo instead of governing Epstein Epstein Epstein EPSTEIN
Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceriesâand we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health careâand instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others â Congress, the courts, the American people â from having a say or even knowing what heâs going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesnât appear that will happen anytime soon though.
AMERICA: âItâs a mental health issue.â REST OF THE WORLD: âWe have those. But donât have mass shootings.â AMERICA: âItâs video games.â WORLD: âWe have those too. But donât have mass shootings.â AMERICA B: âItâs cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.â WORLD: âGod, youâre stupid.â
As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldnât fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldnât risk their lives. Parents shouldnât wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than peopleâand this is the devastating result.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years. Not anymore.
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be âvery concernedâ She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: âShame. Shame. Shame.â
uhhhh
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Remember when I told Virginia Foxx the truth about pro-lifers not really being pro-life? She got all offended. Is she that angry about the two children that were shot to death in their classroom today? Will she do something about it? You know the answer.
NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa. This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowaâs senate.
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trumpâs ass.
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or canât afford. Itâs about priorities.
one sign that the âunitary executiveâ is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
This is not who we are. We must join together to call this out, to make more people understand what is happening and work to stop it.
As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout. Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
A âwe were wrongâ correction would be nice.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Nichols: Even though these guys come across as clowns, they're clowns with flamethrowers.. They have the machinery of government behind them. These are people that normally would be struggling to hold on to middle management jobs in a department store somewhere
Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
âPapers, pleaseâ
I honestly donât see how they will allow players from other countries into the US and why would players from other countries want to risk being ICEd to play here?
From "highly CONFLICTED" to "Highly Respected" in just weeks â and all it took was for him to give away 10% of his company
"MAGA leaders are openly declaring that the specter of state violence will be used to intimidate voters...Trumpâs manufacturing of fake pretexts is growing bolder and more unconstrained. Do we get to call it fascism yet?" Many of us outside the US are wondering what's taking you all so long?
I deeply resent having to defend John Bolton but âthe president sends his goons on a fishing expedition to raid anyone who criticizes himâ is in fact very alarming
You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Boltonâs house not because you love John Bolton but because youâre opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics
Newsom: We canât do things the way weâve done. Letâs disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purposeâŠ
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
this is literally this week's south park episode
If only John Bolton had had the Epstein Files, his house never would have been raided.
What are the odds of the World Cup actually happening in the US in 2026 at this point?
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
Art of the deal.
I urge all Californians to vote to redistrict our maps in response.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the âtough on crimeâ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison âor elseâ?
To my 10th grade English teacher, who said, âMake the conclusion count.â
Because nothing says âyou should feel free to come visit Washingtonâ like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldnât be able to vote đ
The judge points out that the 76 pages of grand jury testimony are a drop in the well compared to the 100,000 documents the government could release.
I find this delightful.
Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.

Just nowâŠ
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
I for one am concerned.
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
Texas in 2025.
this is where Stubb was sitting when Trump couldn't see him btw
Zelensky wore a suit this time.
Trump must have had a bad night. Spewing lies about elections. Again. Every American citizen has a right to vote, Each state runs its own election. We donât owe the president. Itâs the president who owes us a duty to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it⊠but that is literally Trumpâs account of what happened.
Newâ Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted âwhite powerâ and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) âfuck you, n***** bitch.â Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.
âWith less they beat slavery. With less they beat Jim Crow⊠Harriet Tubman didnât have email, Twitter, Texts, TikTokâŠâ
What in the migraine inducing low class glare has he done to the place? Ick.
Rubio shamelessly omits that the U.S. gave security assurances to Ukraine in exchange for it giving up its nukes in 1994. We must honor our pledge and stop Russian aggression and bloodshed everywhereâor it wonât end with just Ukraine.
Embarrassed on behalf of all sane Kansans that heâs ours. Apologies!!!
RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim
"Noem has also been particular about the service on the Coast Guard planes. In one incident, she and her staff grew irritated when a weighted blanket she often uses on trips was not provided to her, an issue that was âescalatedâ within the service..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.
Today is my birthday and itâs been đżđżđż just wait till Trump gets his grimy paws on his phone after getting yelled at by his boss all day!! Meltdown? Deflection? More blatant lies??
Trump struggled to walk in a straight line as he went to greet Putin
People who want to protect "The Sanctity of Marriage" are always people who voted for a man who raped his first wife, deserted his family of three young children to run off with one of his mistresses, deserted her and their child for another mistress, and then cheated on her with a porn actress. đ€
This feels like a birthday present! Thank you for being reasonable and crawling directly under Trumps skin lol I love this đ€
On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters." On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident. Real macho stuff.
In authoritarian crackdowns, itâs important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.
He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.
