Ah, the golden age.

When your massive ego gets you to announce something a more careful person would have kept quiet.

Get your popcorn ready.

I got no popcorn left at this point.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Senate GOP are lying. Full stop. Not “misinformation”. Not “misleading”. It is a lie. Knowing, intentional, from Senators who are aware of the law. Undocumented *do not* receive benefits. At all. Of any kind. State or Fed. No Medicare. No Medicaid. No disability. No SS. No food assistance. Nada.

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

Yes - Keep em stupid It’s in the plan

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Walter White spitting facts:

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

Guess who is going to pay for the tariffs?

"It's a Yes or No Question"

Yikes! 🤢 Trump’s Bedminster golf club recently got slapped with 18 health violations and the lowest health grade in the entire county — scoring a 32 out of 100. Critical food safety risks, no soap at sinks, a household microwave in the kitchen, and more. 🔗 www.thedailybeast.com/president-do...

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

Unbelievable www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

VAN HOLLEN: I'm simply asking you to provide the committee with a reorganization plan, and your response is 'maybe yes, maybe no.' Am I getting that right? LUTNICK: We're going to follow the law VAN HOLLEN: The law requires to you to submit these major changes to the Senate

1/ New in the Abrego Garcia case, the Judge has just granted his lawyers' request for permission to file sanctions against the government, which is very unusual.

This seems important from Jake Sherman

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Perfect.

For Reals

REED: We have this crisis in education and literacy, what we're gonna do is pull back and let the states do it McMAHON: No. We'll spend it more responsibly REED: I doubt it very seriously McMAHON: Let's hope we do REED: Hope is not a plan

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

It’s on record.

Amazing that when they get in courtrooms, all the big claims they make outside the courthouse to the media suddenly go away.

McMAHON: Here's the other thing -- where are our guidance counselors in high schoolers? DURBIN: Good question. You're cutting the number of counselors in these schools at the same time!

Mullin: What were we ranked nationally in math and reading in 1979? McMahon: We were very low on the totem pole. Mullin: We were number one in 1979

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

Ro Khanna: "Now they want to censor everyone's social media. And then they're lecturing the foreign countries about free speech?"

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

When you want Americans to be arrested for helping America's allies fight America's enemy, that can only mean one thing: You are one of America's enemies.

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

Are we great yet?

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

NPR reports that DOGE was caught by a whistleblower sending 10 GB of sensitive information through Starlink to Russia. That is treason. #TREASON

These people are just wrong about literally everything.
