While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Democrats just got absolutely and completely rolled. Never once in my time in congress did we ever give up like this

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

Indeed.

I’m saddened to hear about the passing of my former colleague Raúl Grijalva. He was a tireless advocate for progress and he made Congress and our country a better place.

BREAKING: Appeals court lifts blocks on President Trump's executive orders restricting diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Hey Mike Waltz a Russia speaker does not make someone Russian, speaking English in America does not make us English This is first grade stuff

This is going to be important: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

I've been at DOJ for so many important speeches & presentations. Today, my heart is filled with sadness for my former colleagues & our country as a convicted felon who doesn't understand justice or the meaning of the rule of law & why both are essential to our democracy stands there.

Thank you! And yes. You’re right… the show is on YouTube as well! Here’s the link: youtube.com/@jimacosta?s...

“Nicolle Wallace pierced the veil of MAGA propaganda, and the price has come due.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/anatomy-of...

Im celebrating another turn around the Sun today. And given the times we live in, I wanted to share my deep appreciation to all of you the strong engagement and deep trust youve placed in me Didn’t expect to be in such a public role but some of the most impactful things in life are unexpected.

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday seeking to severely punish the law firm Perkins Coie, which did work for Democrats during the 2016 campaign, by stripping its lawyers of security clearances and access to government buildings and officials.

Anybody remember that rendition of “I won’t back down?” Well, Trump backed down on tariffs as @mollyjongfast.bsky.social Rick Wilson and I discuss on “The Jim Acosta Show.” youtu.be/VCSr4d9hzak?si…

Goddamit. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

This is next level! 💥

“This is a person who truly seems to be steeped in the most horrifying corners of the internet,” says Chris Hayes on Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson’s social media posts parroting neo-Nazi and Russian propaganda.

Trump’s bad week: - reversed on tariffs after stock market free fall - thanked the CJ, said “I won’t forget it” like a mob boss [see below] -targeted Perkins Coie cause they are on him. -said Elon is head of DOGE at SOTU despite lawsuit posture; called cabinet today to tell them they are in charge.

I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.

Here’s a nice story, I re-met this gentleman in Appleton WI last night, he was my opponents tracker in 2010, would come and record me, but was always polite. We got along well, despite being on opposite sides. Now we’re both on the same side!

Nice university you have there. Would be a shame if you lost your federal funding for not kissing Trump's ass hard enough ...

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Trump is taking his bad-take social media posts and plopping them into “Executive Orders”…

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

Best line of the night from Fanone: “Jim, I love you… but f*ck you for making me watch that.” From the post-speech edition of “The Jim Acosta Show.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

He thinks he's a king.

Calls for mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer. Dems loudly and vocally yell about Jan 6th and Capitol Police

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

After the most disastrous first month of any President in history, Trump will do everything he can to distract you tonight. He will try to convince you that culture war issues are important. None of these things lower gas prices, improve job numbers, or put food on the table. Don't take the bait.

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss! Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

Kernen to Lutnick: When you talk about fentanyl and Canada, it sounds like an excuse. 43 pounds came across the Canadian border last year versus 21,148 pounds from Mexico. So it is really fentanyl?

China has announced its tariff retaliation—15% tariffs on US chicken, wheat, corn & cotton, plus a 10% tariff on soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables, & dairy products. Blue or red state, your grocery bill just raised. Wonder who Trump will blame this trade war on?

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

House Republicans have just been ordered to stop holding Town Hall meetings. They can run from their extreme agenda. We will never let them hide.

Good morning Lets get to work! 🫶🏽 substack.com/@harrydunn/n...

It’s all performance art now

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.
