REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president? LEAVITT: The president is attending it in his personal time

BREAKING: AOC on GOP bill: “When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this.”

Breaking News: A divided Supreme Court rejected a plan to allow Oklahoma to use government money to run the nation’s first religious charter school.

I never thought I would see the day when a president would accept a 400M gift from another country - and be allowed to keep it. All this from the party who went insane over President Obama wearing a tan suit.

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

A+ community note.

Turns out prosecutors didn’t buy Mace’s story about being brutally assaulted by an activist who shook her hand.

I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something. is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

Many are saying that it sucks to be Elise Stefanik today. I’d argue that it sucks to be Elise Stefanik every day.

Vance flies to northern Greenland to the US military base. Spends 3 hours on the base. Flies home. All other plans to attend events in Greenland over 3 days canceled because nobody wanted them there.

This is what gaslighting looks like.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Doing this in El Salvador with those prisoners as a backdrop is extremely twisted.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

Top GOP Senator Roger Wicker just called for an investigation into Trump officials for sending classified military plans on Signal and lying about it under oath. This is turning into a massive scandal that even Republicans can’t ignore.

Wow. Fox refused to put their longtime Chief National Security Correspondent on air since the Signal story broke because she has been honest on social media about it. www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

uhhhh it looks like Dems just flipped a R+17 Pennsylvania State Senate seat in Amish country…

Breaking News: Democrat James Malone just defeated a Republican in a Pennsylvania district that voted for Trump by over 15 points. This is a huge embarrassment for Elon Musk, who urged people to vote for the GOP candidate.

Warner: And the idea somehow, well, none of this was classified, but we can't talk about it here. You can't have it both ways.

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.

Pete Hegseth is the guy in high school who brags about having so much sex and then embarrasses himself in front of everyone when he accidentally leaves the school PA mic on and leaks top secret war plans to the entire school

Of course, Vance was on the chat objecting to the attack on the Houthis on the grounds that it might help Europe also and he hates Europe.
