NBC? What? Investigative journalism? Who knew?
Blumenthal: They’ve exhausted the 120 days for Alina Habba, and so they’ve tried to make her acting US Attorney. But the statutes simply don’t authorize that. A judge has concluded she is without authority for any of the actions she’s taken. Everything she’s done could be challenged.
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Wut? Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case? Is he trying to bury this because he was working with the Deep State?
Is this yet another impeachable offense?
CNN put together a clip of RKF Jr denying today he linked antidepressants and mass shootings, followed by a clip of RFK Jr last week linking antidepressants and mass shootings
LOL, imagine being someone who claims to be historically literate (Hazony) who is then surprised that your right wing nationalist movement has attracted some antisemites.
Venezuelan drug trafficking boat strike and NO ONE accidentally added me to the PC small group Signal chat?? smh
And the feds getting a lot smarter. It's more effective for taxpayers to guarantee healthcare transactions (within limits) than for insurance companies to do what they do today. All without insurance premiums or raising taxes
But ins companies take advantage of this approach by cross subsidizing their own lines of business and gaming the rules. We will never see them put patients over economics Dan They need to be disaggregated. Which means self insured employers getting smarter
Not true. We have a growing number of brand meds. The only reason we don’t have all brand meds is because the big PBMs threaten to reduce sales of the brand’s meds if they work with us. They know we will do to brand pricing what we did to generics.
Great
If you know California voters, tell them that if Trump rigs the next election and Republicans keep Congress, they will most certainly not certify the election in 2028 if they don't like the result. No one is saying gerrymandering is good, but unilaterally disarming could be the end of our democracy.
I like the rebrand.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
Some of the images and video the White House released today as Trump's 'proof-of-life' are not current. They're old. Why? How do you say 'downward spiral' in English?
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
terrific tradecraft here
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Going to listen to NPR to hear if they start playing “Swan Lake”
A "pig butchering" scam might open with a simple “Hi” or some good-natured confusion about why your phone number seems to be in the person’s address book. It's the first step in a process intended to drain your bank account and ruin your life. (Published Sept. 2022)
Republican Rep. Barry Moore was heckled so badly at his Alabama town hall that he literally left out the back door in the middle of the event. Moore didn't offer concluding remarks or even bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted "Shame!" during his exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Has anyone checked in on President Vance
Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration, resigned Friday — days after filing a whistleblower complaint alleging DOGE employees had uploaded a copy of the entire country's Social Security information to a "vulnerable cloud environment”
Republicans are trying desperately to consolidate power into a full-fledged dictatorship.
Mexico is also experiencing widespread disinformation amplifying cartel violence narratives in order to sway the local population into backing US military intervention, online regime operators are also spreading racial narratives to sway away tourism & diminish / disrupt the Mexican economy.
In Mexico the Trump regime has increased CIA operations, is targeting/ recruiting PRI party politicians into backing a US military intervention. An uptick of right wing disinformation has also been spotted amplifying mostly false allegations of cartel ties to the current Mexican president.
US Trump regime is unofficially conducting clandestine influence operations across multiple allied countries including in the EU in particular the UK & France, however, Canada and Mexico face the highest threat level right now. The Trump regime ops are seemingly running in parallel with Russian ops.
Leavitt fails to see the irony of "believe in the power of prayer" and "prayer works" as she talks about children who were shot to death while praying.
That’s how bully’s behave
This is true of most bullies.
Jeanine Pirro did everything she could to indict the sandwich guy-who is apparently a veteran-and failed Meanwhile the administration is giving Ashli Babbitt a funeral with military honors So if you're MAGA and you assault a police officer *for Trump* You don't get prosecuted You get celebrated
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
He doesn't actually care about that cloth. It's just another prop to make Trump look good in the reality TV Trump presidency show. The only value he places in the flag is how it can be used to promote Trump.
I wish Donald Trump cared about protecting children in schools as much as he cares about protecting a piece of cloth with stars and stripes on it.
If you believe that Republican politicians care if you live or die, you don't understand mass psychosis – and you don't understand American politics.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
It's sooo dangerous in DC, that the National Guard are now tasked with picking up trash there. I suggest they start at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
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 can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
It's about their true motives. It's about their psychological pathology.
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
It isn’t just that JD Vance lies constantly. It’s that when he lies he does it with smugness, arrogance and condescension.
Chris Christie ran Trump's transition team in 2016 and contracted Covid from Trump in 2020 when he prepped him for his debate with Biden at which Trump knowingly exposed Biden to Covid. And this is the thanks Christie gets. You'd think people who choose to work for Trump would eventually learn.
Wondering today whether John Bolton wishes he’d testified against Trump in that first impeachment.
Uncooperative Federalism is here! open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...
Why is this even a question? Somebody take action !
LMAO!! 🤣 🤣
More destruction of education.
We've beat Ken Paxton in court twice this week.
They left out an important part. Falling sales after openly supporting Trump and his Criminal Regime.
You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics
Best speech I’ve heard in a while, and much needed
I think it makes you poor

Anybody got a clue why? ESPN. NFL. Yada. Duh.
I believe Rubio's chronological age is still only 17. But you can see him aging before our eyes into a desiccated husk.
Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I don’t see one “elderly white hippie” there. I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.
Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
If this doesn’t tell you we are living The Emperors New Clothes I don’t know what will On the left a 6’3 man On the right a man who claims to be 6’3 Fables exist for a reason
You've got to be taught To be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made And people whose skin Is a different shade You've got to be carefully taught You've got to be taught Before it's too late Before you are 6 or 7 or 8 To hate all the people your relatives hate You've got to be carefully taught
The United States has been falling behind since Reagan but now its decline is precipitous
No doubt

WATCH: Texas Rep. Collier says the high road has crumbled
Governors of Six (red) states have sent their states' national guard troops to – and now occupy – (blue) Washington D.C. What would you call this? Historians will call it civil war.
Steve is losing his marbles
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Morning from Maine, where the moon is peaking through the clouds, and I am incredibly proud of all of you resisters out there, keep that shit up 💪💙💪
BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down. Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed? This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
This is precisely why you must always support libraries they are our best public institution
well holy sh*t 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...
Rep. Nicole Collier refused to ‘sign away her dignity’ by accepting a police escort…and spent the night on the Texas House floor protesting GOP overreach. A quiet act of defiance…that speaks volumes!🔥
Trump says he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. (video: @factpostnews.bsky.social)
If you’re leaning on the military to protect the republic, you’ve already lost. These people are the dregs doing it for the paycheck now because the ones that gave a shit already left or are from past generations. No 'Savior' force is coming. Get to fighting or get to dying is our choices.
Zelensky wore a suit this time.
Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion. The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds. We must not become numb to this.
But he makes a heck of a deli sandwich
Wild thing by The Trogs
I have to say, I'm still with Jimmy on this one.
I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally
Where is this from?
👍
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.
Ha!!
I see what you did there
Hey you short-fingered vulgarian, don't you dare fucking sell, barter, or give away one iota of Alaska to that war criminal.
Whatever they’re hiding, think proportional to the misdirection they continue to try. It’s big, think pictures and video.
Jeffrey Epstein raped children regularly. Donald Trump was his closest friend. Draw your own conclusions.
Senator Chris Murphy talks with Jen Psaki about how the United States has become a "creeping totalitarian state" under Donald Trump and he's skeptical of working with Republicans on a bipartisan budget bill when Donald Trump doesn't respect the budgets Congress passes. youtu.be/oeHdmNJt7Tk
