Who gets custody of JD in the divorce?

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been called "Trump before there was a Trump." Here's why his reshaping of Hungary's political institutions inspires U.S. conservatives.

This guy went to jail for screwing over nurses and doctors at his nursing homes—taking $10 million from their paychecks to buy a yacht. His mom goes to a $1 million per person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, and now he’s pardoned. These are the people Trump looks after. Not you.

‼️NO KINGS UPDATE‼️ Crowd size concerns plus staffing & security logistics have made us reconsider the June 14th location. So… WE'RE MOVING TO ST PAUL! March with us from St Paul College to the MN State Capitol! Bring your flags and bring your voice! 🔥 Join us -> www.mobilize.us/indivisiblet... 🔥

Justin Sun is a Chinese billionaire who was sued by the Biden SEC in a crypto case. He’s a major investor in Trump’s World Liberty Financial. He also spent $40M+ on $TRUMP coins, earning an invite to dinner with Trump at his Va. golf club on Thurs. He apparently also got a private WH tour.

If CBS doesn’t make this segment available, I may have watched my last 60 Minutes show ever.

Fact-check: True

It’s about to get more challenging. So stop doomscrolling and start strategizing. There’s work that we must do to deal with the next 100 days. My thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

June 14th.

Trump needs that Qatari 747 — for all his evasive maneuvers. Gift link to my latest @postopinions.bsky.social column, on Trump’s reversals on tariffs, China, Iran, Israel and more. wapo.st/4khCvz3

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

I really encourage you to listen to this. This entire incident is chilling and crosses yet another line.

Stay tuned. #FiftyFiftyOne #50501Movement #PeoplesMovement #ImpeachTrump

My choice, so far, for MN's open U.S. Senate seat. I'm definitely NOT voting for someone who takes pride in being one of the most "independent" members of Congress, who had to be persuaded AT LENGTH to impeach Trump 1.0. We need a voice for working families, not another Kirsten Sinema in the Senate!

My choice for MN CD2, so far. I'm not voting for carpetbaggers or millionaires who pay less in property taxes than I do.

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

I think Mother Jones will be the next journalism source that I support.

In case you missed it... WIRED talked to *actual* federal auditors about how government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

‼️ By the middle of this day alone, there have been almost 70 Russian assaults on our positions. It will soon be 50 days since Russia has ignored the US proposal for a complete and unconditional ceasefire, which we agreed to, — Zelensky

New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1

#ProudBlue As a very young girl, The Diary of Anne Frank was one of my favorite books. Never in a million years did I think we would be living through something like this. 😢

“The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children after the government **posted their home address** to social media.” 4/23/25 newrepublic.com/post/194289/...

And Thom Tillis, up for reelection in 2026, was the key vote to confirm Hegseth along with Joni Ernst. Despite the fact that they knew he was unfit, they were afraid of Trump and put their political futures ahead of the country. Now they own every bit of this debacle.

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

Really crucial analysis of the Trump-Bukele prison deal. Seems like there’s a lot of dangerous corruption lurking just under the surface.

Why can't these fascists distinguish between aiding and abetting a legally-protected US husband and father, and terrorism? It's because they don't want to; they're all in on their dear leader's never-admit-mistakes ethos.

Having just read Alexei Navalny's heartbreaking "Patriot", I know now even more why we have to stop this authoritarian takeover before it takes hold.

The very damaged smart guy is spawning dozens of damaged children.

Voted!

"As the government flings itself apart, we will keep coming back to the grim reality. Trump can’t be restrained, or reasoned with, or babysat for the next four years. The only way to bring power back under the rule of law is to remove a lawless man from power."
