TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Judge Susan Crawford is projected to win the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, defeating MAGA candidate Brad Schimel. Trump, MAGA, and Musk went ALL-IN on this race—and lost.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

A long night ahead for Senator Cory Booker as he filibusters to block Trump-backed nominees. ✊🏼🔥 Standing up for democracy isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. Thank you Senator Booker! Let’s show him some support and watch the live stream #CoreyBooker youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

And he breaks the record for the longest floor speech . . . #CoreyBooker #BookerIsAHero #GettingInGoodTrouble ❤️🌊✊️

Stop banning books! Every single day this shit gets more and more insane. #booksky 📚 💙

Wow - as NLRB/MSPB arguments kick off at DC Circuit, Judge Henderson asks if Trump's removal powers are so sweeping that he could fire all female agency heads, or all those over 40. Dep AG says yes! Trump-appointed Judge Walker swoops in to try to salvage: 'don't have to go there' due to the 14th A

Chilling details from a lawsuit against DOGE by USADF about how much of a lie DOGE's "IT modernization" is (the best way to describe it is if someone comes from the cable company and then says because he's in your house, he's allowed to do a home invasion) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Germany's government plans to release €3 billion in military aid for Ukraine following the passage of a historic spending plan this week.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

“Representatives of President Trump’s family have held talks to take a financial stake in the U.S. arm of crypto exchange Binance, … a move that would put Trump in business with the firm that pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating anti-money-laundering requirements.”

The irony is that between DOGE and Trumps tariffs they’re endangering the anchor of a lot of American prosperity, which is centuries of political stability and rule of law which makes a place people want to put capital. None of these dweebs grasp that.

These Dems finally went on the offense against the GOP during these must-watch moments. Listen to the latest MeidasTouch Podcast (links below): Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/41Tv...

The whole political moment - both for much of the public and for many or most of the senators - is defined by the fact that most people don't grasp what's actually being done inside the government, the faits accompli being made. Senators shld know. But I don't get the sense they fully do.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

This is a Hitler-screaming-in-his-bunker-at-generals level of lunacy

Do not cave to the gop vote no on this cr that definds medicaid

I’m old enough to remember the Repubs in the Senate using the filibuster on things such as voting rights & reproductive rights! The Senate Dems should hear from their constituents ahead of the vote… the R’s should be forced to negotiate & the only way is if they filibuster and hold the line.
