An attempt by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to blow off ethical and legal concerns about Donald Trump's crypto dinner on Thursday night might come back to haunt her boss.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Couture: 700 billion in fraud that only he could find, yet hasn't produced the receipts… this is all about undermining your confidence in the program’s legitimacy so they can raid that trust fund

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

"By the way, the president today signed an executive order establishing that up is down, black is white, and underwear must be worn on the outside of pants and dresses."

The White House Is One Giant Pyramid Scheme

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

Being an asshole has consequences.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.

Insane. Not surprised. 🤬

DOGE scrubbed a long-dead contract from its site—the same place it’s been posting phony “receipts” to fake success. Do they not understand how government works, or are they lying to the public? My opinion: These aren’t mistakes. They’re trying to dupe us.

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Rodriguez: They're slashing staff, crushing unions, and selling out the VA for what? So billionaires can make more money while veterans sit on waitlists. Our president was asleep while Moscow was at the wheel. Veterans don't trust him. He’s not one of us.

What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.

🙏

They’re breaking every single bit. 🤬

Love it.

Joe Gallina: If you could tell Donald Trump anything tonight, what would you tell him? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Grow a spine and stop being Putin’s hoe.

Five thousand hard working public servants JUST GOT THEIR JOBS BACK after the Merit Protections System Board protected their civil service jobs from Trump's ILLEGAL AS HELL decision to fire them.

Seen yesterday on a public bus in Heidelberg, Germany.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Zelensky is given a hero’s welcome by King Charles

Cartoon by @davewhamond.bsky.social.

Thou shalt not deport hard working, good people whilst importing vile criminals like the Tate brothers and still claim you have morals.

Lift the cap.

A reminder for these times.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This is exactly what a frightened abused wife would send to her family about her abusive husbands actions at thanksgiving, because he’s checking her phone It’s sick and sad

Brutal.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

"The United States seemed to be in deep trouble, both at home and abroad, in the mid-1970s. The Berlin Wall fell in 1989. History doesn’t move in a straight line." But we're part of making that uncertain and hopeful trajectory happen.

Donald Trump to Zelensky: “You’re not being thankful enough… This is going to be great television, I’ll tell you that.” I hate this man with every fiber of my cells with a passion going back to my ancestors.

Don’t be a rubio.

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.
