Gabbard’s top aide, ordering changes to an intel assessment that debunked one of Trump’s lies: “We need to do some rewriting … so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS.” Politicizing intelligence is just another one of the many corrupt acts Trump falsely alleged and is now committing.

Deporting Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan, a nation plagued by conflict and poverty, defies legal orders and basic humanity. This isn't just a bureaucratic error; it's a deliberate act of cruelty. #3E

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

Jake Tapper said in an NPR interview that he had apologized to Lara Trump for failing to cover Joe Biden's decline while he was in office. He then said journalists have to do a better job, mentioning Sen. Feinstein and some others. Can you guess which declining politician he didn't mention?

Taking health care and food away from the poorest Americans to give Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk another tax break. No wonder Republicans in Congress are voting on Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” in the dead of night when no one is watching them.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Apparently the House budget bill still includes language aimed at barring federal court enforcement of most contempt findings. I wrote May 9 about how this not only seeks to get Trump agencies off the hook for recent misconduct, but imperils a wide range of vital legal and constitutional rights.

While refusing to criticize the Gulf monarchies, Trump "depicted America as a phony democracy. In Saudi Arabia, he blamed his defeat on ‘a rigged election.’ In Qatar, he insisted again that ‘the election was rigged.’" “His whole trip... was about badmouthing America and renouncing American values.”

I see we've reached the stage where Trump is claiming endorsing his opponents is illegal. But, still, lots of people say that this is better than the censorial Dems who tried to silence people by [checks notes] asking people to be respectful of one another.

Adriana Smith was 9 weeks pregnant when she died. Her body has being kept ‘alive’ by machines for the last 3 months, (and is ongoing) forced to grow a foetus that has fluid in the brain and may not survive birth. All because of Georgia’s abortion ban. This is absolutely sickening.
