Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

While the spotlight on Musk's Ketamine abuse/addiction is applauded (keep it going), where TF is the focus on Trump's decades-long, severe Adderall (+/- Cocaine) abuse/addiction?

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

We need details on this.

A NEW REPORT just revealed that the Big Beautiful Bill is even worse than we thought. It'll rip away health care from 16 MILLION Americans, just so Jeff Bezos can buy a third yacht.

BREAKING NEWS: The Congressional Budget Office drops a bombshell on Donald Trump by revealing that his "big, beautiful bill" will ADD a truly jaw-dropping $2.4 trillion to the national deficit over the coming decade.

Lawrence: That is the budgetary cycle we've been in since the 1980s. Republican presidents increased the deficits. Democratic presidents from Bill Clinton forward come into office and reduce the deficits created by the Republican presidents.

I don't really care if Elon Musk called Trump's awful bill a "disgusting abomination" (which it is) I DO care that he and Trump destroyed USAID Allegedly causing the deaths of 300,000 people-with 200,000 children among them And then CELEBRATED it

You don't get a job in the Taco Administration unless you know jack-shit about fuck-all for the position you were given.

Trump trashed Thomas Massie on Truth Social after he opposed his budget bill. Trump trashed Rand Paul on Truth Social after he opposed his budget bill. Elon Musk just opposed his budget bill.

Public schools are not for religious indoctrination. Texas, we'll see you in court.

“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening...” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

"'If they attempt to deport the Afghans, you’re going to see actual physical conflict between U.S. veterans and ICE,' he predicted..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

The wild thing is they could just keep doing these “ooops did we do that” individual things for the next three and a half years and unless there’s a full blown big moment of spectacle, morons with law degrees with continue to insist you’re hysterical for thinking there are constitutional crises

“I want to help women. I have not dedicated my life to abortion. I am not anti-children… Women die in botched abortions. Two hundred thousand every year. RU-486 can save them.” Hero.

Oh there goes his ratings

We did it!!! SB 2880, an extreme anti-abortion bill that would have had nationwide impact, and SB 16, Texas’ version of the SAVE Act, are dead. We ran the clock out. They won’t even get a vote in the House. That’s a HUGE fucking win! #txlege

Trump and his MAGA cronies threaten federal judges to cow them into submission. Now Congress fights back. Katie Phang reports on the MARSHALS Act and the need to take back the protection of our judiciary.

🎯🎯🎯

"In an administration in which the sole goals are valorizing Trump & making him as rich as possible, any official who demonstrates an ability to effectively carry out the business of the govt is viewed w/ profound suspicion. But those willing to learn incompetence & moral obtuseness are promoted."

Scary but good read

Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.
