“Alexa, show me an unseemly squabble between two thin-skinned manchildren, neither with any impulse control whatsoever.”

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

You don't get a job in the Taco Administration unless you know jack-shit about fuck-all for the position you were given.

If this candidate ends up winning in a very tight election, as seems likely at this point, then it is entirely possible that support from the Trump administration pushed a Holocaust revisionist historian over the edge. Never let this administration pretend they care about antisemitism, ever.

Yes, Joni, we are all going to die. But it shouldn't be our SENATORS who are killing us.

“…well, we all are going to die.” — Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Medicaid cuts, saying the quiet part out loud.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Trump pardon attorney taking “hard look” at defendants convicted of plotting to kidnap Gov. Whitmer. The effort to rewrite history and normalize political violence continues. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Bless you, Greenland! 🇬🇱

The Trump administration will do anything to rid this country of the slightest hint of anti-Semitism, unless anti-Semites have a million dollars available to bribe the president, of course.

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

It really is wild just how empty and soulless Marco Rubio is. Dude believes in absolutely nothing and will say whatever he's told to say at anny given moment.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

We’re about to learn whether a bunch of people who’ve turned Biden bashing into their personal income stream have a shred of decency and humanity.

RESULT: Nicusor Dan, the centrist mayor of Bucarest, will be the next president of Romania. A big loss for the far-right: its candidate George Simion got 41% in round one, but didn’t grow enough, & turnout surging worked against him. Simion is down 54.3% to 45.7% with 96% reporting.

Jennifer Taub blocked me when I suggested she back off from the frenzy over the Jake Tapper book and the over-coverage of it by MSM. She musta been insulted when I said that Rebecca Solnit had more wisdom on the issue. As a public figure, you'd think she could take it

People are talking as if all other options have been exhausted in a country where only 60% of the public votes.

THIS 👇 ALL DAY LONG! Joe Biden is a good man! Yes, he made mistakes...but, Good God, we have the orange IDIOT DAILY trying to destroy our democracy, and, now all anyone wants to chat about is Tapper's F'ING BOOK! GTFO!!

Re birthright citizenship: The potential chaos is the point. If there is ambiguity regarding who is a citizen and who isn’t, there is then more pretext for rounding up people for being here “illegally” and then making it hard or impossible to prove their citizenship

Axios’ editorial comms director who is relentlessly pushing the Axios/Tapper book about Biden was a literal Republican operative who did comms for Ron Johnson, Kevin Cramer, the RNC, the ND Republican Party, and worked on Rand Paul’s 2016 campaign.

the President of the United States, everyone

I think Democrats live in such mortal fear of bad faith accusations of whataboutism they hesitate to point out the obvious, better a president showing signs of age than one showing signs of sociopathy.

ALSOBROOKS: Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep campaign operates out of? RFK Jr: Which campaign? ALSOBROOKS: The one the senator asked you about just two minutes ago RFK Jr: It's ACF ALSOBROOKS: No, actually it's Health and Human Services

🧵1/ On May 9, Trump signed an order to build housing for 6,000 unhoused vets by 2028—by stealing funds that supposedly went to “illegal aliens.” No federal housing fund existed for undocumented immigrants. This is manufactured hate, designed to pit vets against migrants. Propaganda. #OnYourSide

Stop looking for fascism to show up in some louder, more violent, more obvious way that will move you to act against it. It's here. Act now. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/americans-...

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

if Joe Biden had said that he had no idea if he was supposed to follow the Constitution or not, Republicans would have burned the White House to the fucking ground
