BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here and lie about that!

…Newsom’s office has been putting up a good fight on social media. When Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) said in an X post that, unlike California, her state values “order over chaos,” Newsom responded: “Your homicide rate is literally DOUBLE California’s.”…. credits: Democracy Dockey

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Billionaires make bad politicians. Musk and Trump think business smarts translate to government, but politics isn’t about winning at all costs. It’s compromise, not control. And history shows: when entrepreneurs enter politics, chaos usually follows. Full story by ‘Slicker’ in the latest issue.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

You would think most immigrants to the UK were asylum seekers if you listen to the Media but it is less than 4%. And the housing shortage? 1945-1979 - 5,000,000 council houses built. 1980-2025 - 250,000 council houses built. That's why.

Not-so-gentle reminder that one senator can use his privilege to pretty much grind the senate to a halt.

I am a fierce defender and proponent of the BBC including their news coverage. Don't @ me, I know they're not perfect, but last night's extended coverage of the Air India disaster was the most utterly hideous, ghoulish grief-porn I've ever seen. What were they thinking?

Emily Thornberry, "I have to admit that when Brexit happened I thought the problem of Gibraltar was going to be so difficult that I really couldn't see how we would ever get over it" So basically the UK continues to celebrate the end of FOM with the EU, while Gibraltar is celebrating FOM 👍

Every single DEM in Congress who doesn’t stand up and shout against the goons who battered US Senator Alex Padilla had better get primaried out of existence.

Every war we get dragged into in the Middle East is because of Israel. It is now trying to collapse the global economy and start World War III. It's time to cut off Israel's arms supply and let it fight its own war. It will lose and that will do the world a favour.

Today an Israeli in my mentions said “what genocide?” under a post of mine where I was talking about Gaza and a Palestinian friend on here tagged me in their fundraiser. Guess which person was able to keep their account and which person got deleted?
