Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clashed on Wednesday with a senior House Democrat, who accused him of “destroying the crown jewels of our health system” and of violating the law by cutting funding appropriated by Congress for lifesaving medical research.

Article 2, Section 4 of the US Constitution says “The President…shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” “SHALL” not “may.” That means it’s not a choice. It’s a DUTY. www.axios.com/2025/05/13/d...

He is the head of American public health. He was, and is, dramatically unqualified for this job. Everyone knew this, but Republicans didn’t care. And now Americans will die specifically because of it while not one of those Republicans who allowed it to happen suffers a single electoral consequence.

Dakota State University gave this ding dong an honorary degree this weekend 🙃

My head: 🤯

Democratic House Rep. Eric Swalwell isn’t having any of Kristi Noem being evasive and not answering the question about the photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s doctored gang tattoo photo: “I have a bullsh*t detector.” 🔥

Secretary Noem appears to not want to say if the picture of Abrego Garcia’s hand is doctored Swalwell: I have a 7 year old, a 6 year old, and 3 year old. I have a bullshit detector. I’m just asking you a question

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

Thanks to DOGE’s spending freezes: -EPA labs have halted critical research -Social Security staffers are rationing paper and can’t pay translators -NOAA has lost internet and phone services -National Park workers can’t buy medicine for visitors or rangers’ horses "Efficiency."

Man who had a student kidnapped and trafficked because she wrote something he didn't like yuks it up with man who had a journalist dismembered with a hacksaw because he wrote things the man didn't like.

OMG, lol'ing - the WSJ Editorial Board once again savaging Trump! 😂 I gifted this so you can read it. www.wsj.com/opinion/u-s-...

Attorney General Pam Bondi says it's legal for Trump to accept a luxury jumbo jet from Qatar. Here's the kicker: Just five years ago, Bondi earned $115,000 a month as a registered lobbyist for the government of Qatar. Nothing to see here, folks!

My latest: "The United $tates of America is Officially For Sale" Trump is accepting luxury jets from Qatar, auctioning access in exchange for purchasing his memecoin, and is willing to sell America, its resources, and its national security to the highest bidder. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

We should be ashamed of ourselves for not appreciating him breaking the law. ✈️ 💰 🙏

I will block any arms sale to a nation that is doing direct personal business with Trump. We should have a full Senate debate and vote. UAE's investment in Trump crypto and Qatar's gifting of a plane is nuclear grade graft. An unacceptable corruption of our foreign policy.

For those confused by the China tariff news: • Trump caved and got zero in return • No manufacturing moved back to the USA • 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans • 90 day pause still causes uncertainty • Trump lost all negotiating leverage

Trump is trying to substitute the Constitution with his own whims But a president can’t pick & choose which U.S.-born babies are citizens—it’s an affront to our democratic principles I discussed on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social

In the Bad place, Elons army of bots has decided that if the plane goes to the DOD then somehow it’s not a violation of the emoluments clause. Spoiler it’s still a gift from a foreign nation.

It was only a matter of time before a president who sold hats and bitcoin just decided to take it to the next level

If this isn't a bribe, we don't know what is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiGD...

Bribery in plain sight.

NRA in 2020: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2021: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2022: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2023: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2024: "Ya know, tyranny's not so bad."

Trump has ordered federal agencies to abandon the use of a longstanding legal tool used to root out discrimination against minorities, a move that could defang the nation’s bedrock civil rights law. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Republicans have largely avoided the issue. Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 Republican senators asking for comment, and didn’t receive a response from a single one of them.

Tariffs makes no one richer, except Trump.

If Joe Biden was taking intelligence briefings once every 10 days and routinely admitting he had no idea what was happening on major policy issues, there would not be enough room on the opinion pages of America's newspapers demanding he resign but Trump isn't held to that standard 🙃

Bash: "The costs of tariffs are paid by American consumers." Lutnick: "I disagree with that." Bash: "Well, okay, most economists disagree with you on that and we have seen it passed off time and time again to the American consumer."

The more videos I'm seeing, the more worried I become that ICE is effectively being turned into a personal Trump militia. A modern version of the SA, basically.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth plagiarized 8 different passages in senior thesis at Princeton, with many passages of 10-30+ words verbatim, per Daily Princetonian Princeton has strict policy against plagiarism, often with 1 year suspension He was untruthful then — and untruthful now

Presidential power is expanding—and ominously Stephen Miller talks abt suspending habeas corpus. Justice Jackson warned us. I walk through his Youngstown opinion and why it demands our attention. Stay engaged.

UNREAL: Worcester police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were seen on video detaining a mother and her teenage daughter, whose face was slammed into the ground, Thursday in the Massachusetts city. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/h...

🚨Air traffic controllers managing flights in and out of Newark Liberty Airport faced another outage early Friday morning, losing radar for about 90 seconds at 3:55 a.m. What the hell is Sean Duffy doing?

There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database. That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

DOJoke Happy Friday. There are 543 days until the midterm elections. Forget about FEMA, Trump’s DOJoke and crapping on (the) Constitution.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Stay brave 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
