Call your senators. Especially Republican senators. @5calls.org

#ICYMI: We've added 23 staffers to our DOGE tracker, taking the total to 109. We also revealed the makeup of the DOGE team at the Defense Department, a group made up primarily of tech startup founders.

NEW: Trump admin continues its destructive path, but district judges keep pushing back. Chief Justice Roberts might not be clear on when to “check the excesses" of Trump's presidency, but two very different district court judges on Monday showed how to act. Tonight, at Law Dork —>

The orange dumpster is looking very awkward and uncomfortable in the presence of intelligent world leaders at the G7.

I just love all this peace around the world and no new wars that Trump promised during the campaign. The Golden Age.

AOC burns the unctuous, corpulent, hypocrite Ted Cruz

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

WTF?

Bernie Sanders: "Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from leading us into an illegal war with Iran."

Not to alarm everyone, but there’s a lot going on right now…

A masterclass in idiocy: Trump, appears bizarrely beside Britain's Prime Minister (a nation no longer in the EU), proudly declared a "trade agreement" with the EU. It was neither a trade deal nor with the EU. How embarrassing.

Mike Lee is the way he is because there are zero consequences for being a lying sack of shit

This parade was not about the 250th anniversary of the United States Army; it's an expensive birthday party for the Dear Leader. George Washington refused to politicize the Continental Army at this nation's founding, and presidents must sustain that tradition.

Who wouldn't be high AF sitting through that boredom. Only the best. 😳😵‍💫

It was sickening to see United States Senator Mike Lee use the tragedy in Minnesota to take cheap political shots, risk escalating a dangerous moment, fan the flames of division with lies while the killer was still on the loose He needs to take his posts down and apologize to the victims’ families

The man knows what he's talking about.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

Thanks to John Oliver for quoting my highly scientific analysis proving we don’t need federal troops in LA

Sheldon Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

Your heart breaks for this woman and so many like her, like us. To be at that age and terrified of what will happen to you because your President doesn't care if you live or die. Makes me so angry 😤. She deserves better, we all deserve better.

Marco Rubio restores USAID for programs operated by his pals in Miami. prospect.org/world/2025-0...

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

There is no greater moral failure than stealing a child from their family. It is evil, full stop. Those who carry it out have forfeited their humanity. I’m hoping karma is real & she exacts her full vengeance upon them. We are called to act. Show up. Speak out. Call every single day.

My MAGA Uncle Timmy in Virginia has been fighting with Verizon for the past week because the last time I visited I blocked Fox and Newsmax on his cable box and didn’t tell him.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

If someone has Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, you may be seeing changes in their behavior in the late afternoon or early evening — a phenomenon known as sundown syndrome, sundowners or sundowning.​

💯💯💯

MAGA terrorist Vance Luther Boelter arrested after manhunt for assassinating a US lawmaker and her husband and brutally shooting another. He had a list of at least 70 Democrat lawmakers and other private citizens he was planning to murder.

Funny 🤣

Hug your dogs tonight. Rest in peace, Finnegan.

He forced the taxpayers to spend at least $45 million on a parade for his birthday and he couldn’t even be bothered to stay awake for it. 🫩🥱😴💤 “Sleepy Joe,” indeed. 🤨🙄

True.

this is gold 🤣. the political clarity is unmatched. i need the daily digest.
