And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

I would say he follows her around like a puppy dog but so far he has survived.

DOGE affiliates Kenneth Jackson and Nate Cavanaugh “disabled and restricted access to the Institute's FOIA system, terminated the employees responsible for processing FOIA requests, and restricted the use of Institute financial resources.”

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil submits a letter to Judge Farbiarz asking the court to order his release. The letter says he has posted bond, and the government has not filed a notice of appeal for the court's preliminary injunction (which went into effect at 9:30am this morning).

Curious about how thin the justification was for parking lot lawyer-turned-Trump prosecutor Alina Habba to indict a sitting member of Congress? ME TOO. Fortunately, Alas always, @lizdye.bsky.social has everything you need to know at Public Notice.

😡😡😡

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Donald Trump wants you to forget that his first act in office was to pardon hundreds of violent thugs who beat cops.

We are not 1941 Nazi Germany, yet. But we are on that road. Public forums aren’t safe for questions. Oversight is treated like sabotage. When we see tyranny & say nothing, we teach ourselves to accept it & civic courage dies. Not with a bang but with handcuffs. Never stop peacefully resisting!

OMG. According to two members of Congress that just conducted an inspection and confirmed horrible conditions at the ICE detention center where unrest led to 4 people escaping, apparently people were able to escape because an EXTERIOR WALL was made of drywall and wire mesh!

RFK, Jr. is filling the CDC with quacks and charlatans. Most of them were too cowardly to comment for this article but they are well known promoters of anti-vax bullshit and have profited from spreading their crap. Kennedy will get people killed. Full stop. Including children. wapo.st/3SROTKy

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

SCOOP: Trump's military parade is being organized by some of the same MAGA political operatives who organized the rally that preceded the January 6 riot. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Israel and Iran are bombing the shit out of each other and what does the narcissist-in-chief have the men and women of our armed forces doing? Patrolling the streets of Los Angeles and practicing for a fucking birthday parade.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

It feels like a terrifying number of people in law enforcement are just dying to inflict violence on the American people. I hope the many men and women who take their vow to protect and serve seriously are brave enough to stand up to the corruption and ensure our human/civil rights are protected.

As an exercise, try to imagine Ron Johnson being wrestled to the ground in Wisconsin; or Tommy Tuberville in Alabama; or Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Yeah, neither can I. charliesykes.substack.com/p/no-kings-n...

In April, Pete Hegseth fired three of his most senior advisors at the Pentagon—Dan Caldwell, Darin Selnick, and Colin Carroll—without explanation. Now, all three speak in depth about what happened inside Hegseth’s chaotic Department of Defense.

“It was clear from the beginning which parts of the job Hegseth most enjoyed: working out, posting about working out, and discussing the imminent removal of trans servicemembers.”

This paragraph is simply magnificent.

“‘There’s nobody in the SecDef’s office at this point that has any … sophistication. They don’t have the experience.’ One source described a longtime Pentagon employee discussing the lack of readiness in the office, ‘close to tears,’ saying ‘the department is so fucked.’”

“If you can read those words and sleep well tonight, I envy you. As I tell my few remaining Republican friends, ‘It's crazy to say that America looks like 1936 Germany when it's so clearly 1938 Germany’” Read the latest from @stuartpstevens.bsky.social: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/has-maga-d...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's hearing just ended without a ruling. My topline — The top prosecutor offered a “Heads I win, tails you lose” proposition: ICE will hold and try to deport him, even if Abrego wins his detention fight. My latest, @AllRiseNews.com. www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-ice...

Classic abusive behavior, a la “Just look what you made me do!”

Freedom of Speech? Freedom of anything???

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

Donald Trump doesn't care about law enforcement. He cares about power. It's why he's deploying military personnel to Los Angeles. And it's why he pardoned the violent criminals who attacked Capitol Police on January 6th.
