This week brought big headlines: the Supreme Court handed Trump a win, Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo in a major upset, and the Senate Parliamentarian just dealt a blow to Trump’s budget bill. If you want to dig deeper, here’s where to start.

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…

The gloves are off 🥊

Look, if you're Muslim and choosing to run for public office in this profoundly Islamophobic country, you do not scare easily. If you're Muslim and are in any public position in this country, you do not scare easily. The death threats are CONSTANT. Look at how unhinged white racists are.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on his $787 million lawsuit against Fox: "It's a defamation lawsuit... Their news organization, from John Roberts to Jesse Watters, knowingly misstated facts... It was so blatant, so gratuitous that I felt compelled to push back against this propaganda network."

 Medicaid is the backbone of the care that Charlie receives. "When I hear that some of our elected officials are suggesting that we're all just gonna die someday and that I should stop being so concerned about these budget cuts, I'm filled with rage."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on what it would take to dismiss his $787 million defamation case against Fox News: "It's simple-- just apologize and give it as much airtime as you gave it when you weaponized the lie... In the absence of that, let's go to court."

Raskin: "If you can opt out of mandatory classroom readings bc it offends your religious objections, you can do it bc it offends your philosophical beliefs... you're gonna have a lot of cases where ppl say 'Our family doesn't believe in evolution. We don't want our kid in class when it's taught'"

🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.

There are just no words how disgustingly and horribly racist this is from @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com must fire her as the head of the DSCC. She should also resign her seat in disgrace. This is beyond repulsive.

Beyond Trump’s other unhinged comments, non-Jews determining who is and is not Jewish is a story we’ve all seen before and it does not end well.

Canadian victims of the Trump regime have witnessed and documented first hand the inhumane conditions ICE keeps its victims, subjecting them to psychological and mental torture and degrading living standards. Many victims are kept locked up for months and even years. #StopICE

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

1. Googoosh, the most famous Iranian singer, reminds us of a heartbreaking fact: the only place in the world where she can’t sing is her own country: Iran. Googoosh, unlike many Iranian singers, did not leave Iran after the revolution. She stayed until 2000, and for 20 years she did not sing.

Weird. What do THOSE two have in common?

(🚨) WAIT... WHAT?? Agents of Red Sea co-conspirators and Trump business partners MBS, MBZ, and el-Sisi were secretly in the White House as Trump agreed to go to war with their enemy Iran? How is this not the big news right now? How is this not bigger than every other story major media is covering?

Warren to CNBC's Joe Kernen as he fear-mongers about Mamdani being a socialist: "Where is your outrage over a Republican Party that is saying 'We want to fund every more tax giveaways for billionaires ... while we take healthcare away from everyone else'"

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

I doubt "We were not actually aiming for the No. 1 key component to making a nuclear weapon" is the narrative the White House was looking for.

Breaking: After a classified briefing with Cabinet officials, Sen. Chris Murphy says: "I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the programs."   "The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated."

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

Hey, all. I don't normally get personal, but someone I love was the victim of a horrible scam. If you can help, that would be great! www.gofundme.com/f/rebuilding...
