In the past 18 hours, Acyn with Meidas was up all night. He posted 32 clips of Democrats opposing the budget on the floor, 24 clips of Dems in the Rules Committee, and 18 clips of interviews we did of Dems off the floor. We also spotlighted many Dems who never get media airtime.

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.

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

This was the single most powerful moment of last night's town hall with Ro Khanna - when a 6th grader asked "are we safe?" and then ran through a list of her fears, including her grandmother's health and friends with LGBTQ+ family.

This is today’s version of “I’ll end the war on day one.” This statement is meaningless as Putin has zero interest in negotiating. It’s way past embarrassing watching Trump get played by Putin.

There are numerous tax cuts and loopholes in the "big, beautiful bill." But it boils down to this simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and meals from millions of people.

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison. I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.
