I have a column on this going up in the morning, but I'm telling you folks, there's an immediate need for people to light up lawmakers' phones and clang pots and pans and protest and do whatever the hell can be done to get RFK Jr. booted, or at least constrained. This is a five-alarm fire.
yes. Even Rachel Maddow said it is not at all clear that he can legally do this. Wrong. Should have said it is absolutely clear that he CANNOT legally do this.
It's not going to happen of course, but tonight is another Goldwater-Rhodes moment. Has a single journalist even bothered to try & track down Speaker Johnson or Senate Majority Leader Thune & ask them why they're not doing their damn jobs or upholding their damn oaths while the Constitution burns?

If any previous President tried to fire a member of the Fed he would have been impeached and removed from office in 72 hours.
Lemme reiterate something because it's so crazy. The Democratic state that regulates Palantir - one of the world's largest AI/surveillance companies - is convening an emergency legislative session to try to pass a bill shielding AI giants from consumer protection lawsuits. This is happening TODAY.
The biggest US copper wire manufacturers are still raising their prices even after most copper imports received tariff exemptions. More evidence that powerful corporations may be using the uncertainty and chaos of tariffs as cover to pad their pockets.
OMG
STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of āemergency.ā There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs. There was NO āINVASIONā to justify this migrant crackdown. And there is NO āEMERGENCYā that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.
NEW: Trumpās DC ācrime crackdownā distraction worked as planned: in 72 hrs, media mentions of Epstein revelations fell 71% and BBB coverage dropped 29%, replaced by wall-to-wall footage of troops in the streets and repetition of Trump's message. www.waleed-shahid.com/p/the-distra...
Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they donāt even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state. An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governorās desk while never being signed by a woman.
Trump ordered colleges to prove they arenāt considering race in admissions. Meanwhile, Trumpās ICE is still using raceāagainst a court orderāto target and snatch undocumented immigrants.
Understood. But he also lacks the authority to impose tariffs. And yet here we are.
33% of schools in Missouri are only open four days per week because Missouri Republicans have refused to fund public schools for 22 years.
you might re-think your language here. Instead of calling her Ā« grandma Ā» because of her age (w/o knowing if she is a grandmother), you might try Ā« concerned senior citizen Ā». or even Ā« grandmother Ā» if u know her status. Ā« Grandma Ā» is a term only her family should use.
youāre missing the point. he never considered asking for taxpayer $. He prefers a scheme where wealthy people give him money in exchange for favors.
Senator Mullin was 2.5 years late reporting seven stock purchases by his wife and about 1.5 years late disclosing three Oklahoma-connected municipal security purchases for himself. That appears to be a violation of the STOCK Act.
Trump let a drugged out South African take a chainsaw to the VA because America is so broke. Now heās building a new ballroom at the White House for the Mar-a-Lago pedophiles to use.
Since Monday, Fox News has spent an hour and 25 minutes covering an American Eagle commercial in which Sydney Sweeney talks about her āgood jeans,ā and just 3 minutes of coverage to developments in the administrationās handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga.
This case should be getting more attention. Remember that Trumpās āLiberation Dayā tariffs were declared illegal by the U.S. Court of Trade. The Federal Circuit Court stayed the mandate until it could fully hear the case. So much tariff talk - but lost in the sauce is their illegality.
TACO!

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.
Just soās weāre all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

Whateverās in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epsteinās accomplice an immunity deal

Why did Epstein get a āsweetheart dealā from US Attorney Alex Acosta, who later became Trumpās Secretary of Labor during the first administration? Acosta is still alive, folks. Maybe we should ask him.

What can you say when you hear the following anonymous woman āa.k.a. "Katie Johnson"ā accuse trump of forcibly raping her when she was 13 YEARS OLD at an underage sex party at Epstein's Manhattan residence in 1994 ? ... You can only shout out : #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles ā¼ļø #ShowUsEpsteinsList ā¼ļø
Entirely sympathetic. But the proliferation of independent journalists & new media outlets that warrant eyeballs is hard to keep up with, much less support financially. Used to be up to 3 major newspaper subscriptions. Now, the number of smart hard-working journalists seeking subscribers is A LOT.
Bribes work!
But Abbott and Trump donāt hold all the cards. There are 15 Democratic trifecta states, many with large congressional delegations like New York, California, Illinois, and New Jersey. We call on every Democratic trifecta state to move forward with their own plans for a mid-decade redistricting plan.
yes. it was nice. But white men supporting each other is not a new thing. it was quite a monolithic look.
total mentions on Fox Business so far today Obama: 53 Epstein: 1
And weāre at the mercy of a SCOTUS who is aiding and abetting the autocrat, in flagrant departure from the Constitution and judicial precedent. It is also openly accepting bribes reported after the fact.

Republican Rep. Robert Bresnahan sold shares in a Medicaid health provider just weeks before voting for the Big Ugly Bill ā which of course slashes Medicaid. Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?
The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesnāt get enough attention. It aināt normal and weāre further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Trump: "We're delivering no tax on Social Security." (This was not in the bill that was approved by Congress today.)
Ask yourself why Rolling Stone is the only outlet performing this obvious public service.
Despite all his bluster about fighting gangs, Trumpās corrupt bargain with Salvadoran Pres. Bukele is doing the opposite ā covering up evidence of Bukeleās own dealings with MS-13 and undermining US efforts to fight the gang. Trump makes a big show but the real killers get off.
@chrishayesg.bsky.social what happens if this bill passes? Can the provisions be changed next year if the prez gets hit by a bus? How does this work?
@chrislhayes.bsky.social WHO gets kicked off medicaid? What are the details of the kicked-off provision, so people can figure out the impact to them? This would be better than massive generalities. hard to mobilize pple if they donāt have clarity on how theyāre affected by the bill.

China has emerged as the worldās solar superpower. In 2023 and 2024, it generated nearly as much solar power as all 38 OECD countriesāincluding the United States and European Unionācombined. The āBig Beautiful Bill,ā which sabotages solar energy in the US, is a geopolitical gift to China.
There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. Thereās no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but theyāre just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Really?! With all thatās in that awful bill, youāre leading w the Musk tweet-fight?! Maybe you could tell people WHATāS IN THE BILL. Beyond the broken-record sentence about medicaid. Very disappointed in your lack of coverage of substance.
We need congressional term limits NOW. To reduce the power of a tyrant in the WH, in recognition of profound congressional cowardice.
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?
President Trump loves to say he puts āAmerica First.ā But his Beautiful-for-Billionaires Bill actually includes tax breaks for sending jobs overseas. The truth is that Trumpās policies undermine our economy and put billionaires first, America Last.
Weāve been de facto sliding toward a Medicare-for-all system for yrs. But we just canāt admit that to ourselves because we need to create a fat fund for CEO/private business profit so then we can continue to believe that capitalism works bestš. Our health care system is a failure of raw capitalism.
Yes, those medicaid recipients who are children should just grow up and get a well-paying job.

I know I'm not the first person or even the millionth person to point this out; it's not even the first time *I* have said it, but this is what actual First Amendment violations look like and the fact that none of the supposed free speech warriors are saying anything about it tells us everything.

Bove refuses to answer whether he spoke to Stephen Miller before he moved to dismiss the Eric Adams case.
The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, itās DOJ
what a shameful and bitter thing to say. Also, you obviously donāt know New York.

yes. And the anti-Zohran PACS advertised heavily online too.
What will congressional republicans do? they will either have to box themselves into the lie which could get a bit sticky in future or theyāll have to SPEAK UP. Gosh, who KNOWS what theyāll do. Lotta pearl-clutching going on.
yep. itās what heās always done. Just pushes ahead on the presumption that people will bend to his will. Many times it works (see: congressional republicans). But not in the middle east where people know war up close. Our presidentās ignorant narcissism is not a force for good.
Dem leadership is powerless to pack the court. the nominations are controlled by WH and the Senate confirmation is controlled by Republicans. This is something Joe could have and should have done. Tragic.
There should be an earnest call to pack the courts by Dem leadership. It should be a thought out campaign to explain to the American people why itās necessary.
Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Itās taken a hundred years of suffrage to make just a quarter of the senate female. We have the most women ever, same for non-white senators but as you can see, itās still very good to be a White man in America.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?
Only way would be if Dems took back the WH next election. But then the criminal in chief could pardon him for any fed law crimes.
In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /
