We know exactly how you feel, Carney.

I’m autistic and have special needs. People used to bully me for just being myself. I lost confidence. Some still call me fat or tell me to lose weight. But I am trying. I’m walking. Healing. Losing weight. Finding myself again. This is only the beginning. #NeverGiveUp

Once again, the government of the United States took people off of American soil and put them in foreign gulags without any sort of trial. They have defied several court orders - and continue to defy court orders - in relation to the matter, including one from the Supreme Court of the United States.

We just lost a second fighter jet off the coast of Yemen. Let’s check in on the Commander-in-Cheat to see what he’s up to …

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

"The result, politically, is a gap between public support for his goals and public support for his methods." *Everyone* can agree Trump is *bad* at implementing his goals, whether or not they like the goals.

The Justice Department is cutting grants to hundreds of programs across the country that provided services to crime victims, according to a former DOJ official familiar with the matter and documents obtained by NBC News. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Bret Baier: "Our new Fox News poll at 100 days job approval compared to other presidents, you see the president at 44%. And you see his first term at 45% at this mark, the 100 day mark. We have other new polls that are revealing some concerns."

ā€œHappiness gained by education might not be the same at every point in your life,ā€ writes Arthur C. Brooks. "At 18, I was not ready to study, and doing so gave me no joy. At 29, I thrilled to the glories of differential calculus and the mysteries solved by regression analysis."

ā€œDemocracy got us into this mess, and democracy is going to have to get us out.ā€ Former Acting Attorney General Peter Keisler says the public must encourage politicians to follow norms and principles—even when they’re not mandated to do so by the law: Watch more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdBQ...

Charlie Kirk criticizes Trump Admin for detaining Tufts student:

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent. That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent got into a heated shouting match near Donald Trump and other officials at the White House last week during a dispute over the IRS, Axios reports. "It was two billionaire middle-aged men acting like it was WWE in the West Wing," one witness said.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope may have spotted signs of life on a distant planet! K2-18b, 120 light-years away, shows hints of carbon-based molecules & maybe even dimethyl sulfide, a gas made by life on Earth. The search for alien life just got a thrilling lead! The Science Team breaks it down.

"The White House and congressional leaders I regularly brief know that Washington's debt path is unsustainable. They also expect to be out of government when the bill comes due and see no reason to anger voters in the meantime," Jessica Riedl writes:

It is Mitch Landrieu, who co-chaired Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, who is now leading what is perhaps the most ambitious effort to understand why the shift of working-class voters away from Democrats happened. @lauren-egan.bsky.social interviews him: www.thebulwark.com/p/mitch-land...

"Turning the white evangelical church into a Republican party auxiliary has not worked....There is nothing Christ-like at all about the person and movement that white evangelicals have elevated and embraced." @jonrauch.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today’s Bulwark Podcast:

Is Fox News turning the Trump?

"The psychological effects of Trump’s action and its exacerbation of moral injury will likely be more veteran suicides, confrontations with the police, and the destruction of military families." At least they won't be executed like our Afghan allies will.

Breaking Reuters: Ā  The Trump admin moved a Venezuelan man who had worked in construction in Philadelphia to Texas for possible deportation *after* a federal judge had issued an order blocking his removal from Pennsylvania or the U.S., according to court records. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Donald Trump is now selling ā€˜Trump 2028’ hats on his official merchandise website. (The Constitution prohibits him from running for a third term.)

This happened in March, and it's gotten worse. How devastating. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ā€œSo the Trump administration is trying to defy court decisions and the American people disapprove…The American people, for all their susceptibility to Trumpist demagoguery, still believe in the rule of law. The Trump administration doesn’t.ā€ www.thebulwark.com/p/nayib-buke...

ā€œBut phenomena like this show that the rot goes deeper than that. Many Republicans are simply El Salvador-aspirational: They’d rather live in a system where their strongman decrees not only what the law is, but what the truth itself is.ā€ www.thebulwark.com/p/nayib-buke...

Bold talk for a guy that pardoned a bunch of cop beaters.

There are tens of millions of Americans who support Canada. We will make Donald's life very difficult if he tries anything.

Roflmao 🤣🤣 sure he’s pissed at RFK Jr

Jon Cryer: I have Trump supporters in my family—I feel for them on some level, because we in the entertainment industry created this guy. We built up this image of a billionaire, this brilliant businessman, and it was never him. He was always kind of a moron...

NEW: Okay, this is kind of a fun one. Right-wing hosts are clashing over what's really going on with Pete Hegseth. And Joe Rogan's guests are fighting over whether he has too many kooks on his podcast. www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-media...

The Plan 1) Economic sneak attack on allies and partners. 2) Threaten to invade Danish territory and to annex Canada. 3) Sell out Ukraine to Putin, wreck NATO. 4) Permanent 10% tariff on former friends. 5) Surprise and hurt that nobody wants to help Trump find a face-saving exit

ā€œIf you buy that Caldwell was a leaker, that means the America First movement had a mole at its heart—and that Hegseth was oblivious. Carlson’s version suggests Hegseth is being manipulated into axing his closest advisers by entrenched groups pushing for a war.ā€ www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-media...

I’ve frequently heard rants from street people that have made more sense than Trump’s Oval lunacy today.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: ā€œAll of these people would win against Trump. They're just not fighting him because they've got business in front of him. This the real autocratic stuff…People need to start going to court because you'll win.ā€

Happy 35th birthday to the Hubble Telescope! With Earth Science funding on the chopping block from @elonmusk—of all people—today is a good day to remember how incredible this country’s astronomical achievements have been and why they’re important. www.space.com/space-explor...

ā€œOn Wednesday night, the Justice Department submitted a filing in district court in which it appears to openly describe steps the government took to essentially evade the court’s temporary restraining order.ā€ open.substack.com/pub/justsecu...
