Trump's America. They literally just zip-tied the hands of disabled Medicaid activists in wheelchairs before Capitol police arrested them at the Russel Senate Office building. How about we arrest the people scamming Americans, like the president?

Summary of Hegseth press conference: 1. Trump is the greatest military strategist & political leader in human history. 2. This was the most brilliant military operation ever. 3. Iran will ever bother anyone again thanks to Trump’s leadership. 4. The media is mean.

Schiff: So Mr. Bove would have us believe that all those people are just making this up… Apparently, everyone has it wrong—except Emil Bove. I just don’t believe him. I don’t think anyone believes him. And today, he made it abundantly clear why no one should.

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked: 50th in classroom funding 49th in starting teacher pay 7th highest in gun deaths 6th highest in maternal mortality Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.

Most of this ā€œpress conferenceā€ is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

WATCH: ā€œThat’s my sister! She’s a šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø citizen!ā€ Unmarked, unidentified — Trump’s Gestapo grab a citizen as her family watches, and the police do nothing. ā€œthe only thing she did wrong was the color of her skinā€ — Racist. Unconstitutional. Kidnapping. www.instagram.com/reel/DLWaNyc...

Buckle up!

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

One of those Senate non-negotiables is its 2.75% flat income tax, meaning the highest earners in the state, those making more than $100,000 a year, will no longer have to pay 3.5% in income tax, making them equal to the lower tax bracket.

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

The criticisms of how this has been handled has absolutely nothing to do with the pilots. ONLY Trump is dragging them into this discussion. Once again he is using the military for partisan politics, and Dan Caine and every other senior military officer should be embarrassed.

He is a charismatic candidate, offering things that people want and need. This is not a mystery, but because New York has ranked choice voting we had a real primary process and the people got to choose their candidate

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

"Rewarding Emil Bove with a judgeship would be an affront to the rule of law," writes former U.S. attorney Harry Litman.

McConnell to Vought: "There's plenty of nonsense masquerading as aid that shouldn't receive another bit of taxpayer funding. But the administration's attempt to root it out has been unnecessarily chaotic. In critical corners of the globe, you have created vacuums for adversaries like China to fill."

Nadler just endorsed Mamdani. A big deal both because of his epic tenure as a congressman and Jewish leader and because, I'm sad to say, the Upper West Side, which he represents and where I live, went for Cuomo and is home to a great many people who (I'm going to put this politely) need reassuring.

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.

People immediately pivoting to slot Lander into a progressive primary challenge are missing the implicit deal in the cross-endorsement: he's going to be deputy mayor, essentially COO of New York City. He's going to use his experience with the inner workings of government to help Mamdani deliver.

Watch this space — and bring your popcorn.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

A new marker now stands near Harriet Tubman’s birthplace in Maryland, honoring her legacy and bond with her father, Ben Ross. Unveiled by Gov. Wes Moore, the roadside marker reflects Tubman’s heroism and the roots that shaped her fight for freedom.

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

Time to pick a side, America. Is this the future you want for us?

NEW: Trump's Justice Department has sued every federal district judge in Maryland to challenge a court order temporarily barring the government from carrying out some deportations. The move marks the administration’s latest attempt to undermine federal courts. From @jaknutson.bsky.social:

Haha and Kamala said Putin would eat him for lunch šŸ˜‚ And she was right šŸ˜‚

Both Senators Blumenthal and Whitehouse make a point of order that deliberative process and attorney client privileges don't apply in judicial nominee hearings. Whitehouse points that Bove is using the privileges selectively, and doesn't even have the right to invoke it.
