Angus: We have American officials claiming that Canada is some kind of terrorist haven. They’re saying we’re sending massive gangs of El Salvadorans over the border. I’m sorry—have you ever visited Canada? Could you show us where these El Salvadoran gangs supposedly are?

Trump’s exact quote to Fox today on this: “We’re doing coal. I don’t want windmills destroying our place. I don’t want these solar things where they go for miles and they cover up half a mountain and are ugly as hell.”

Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Yet another ICE impersonator caught. How many are they not catching? As @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson & Sexton try to protect masked unidentified vigilantes with legislation— we should be banning this dangerous insanity instead.

Imagine having the power, money and political standing to make a difference in the world. To save children’s lives. Then imagine you did that, providing medical interventions—saving lives. Now imagine someone ending it. Putting children at risk of death and harm. You don’t have to imagine— 🧵

It's fun how modern conservatism gave up any pretense of intellectualism and just went all in on the "Daddy Trump" cult and the dipshit discourse that gave us "One Big Beautiful Bill" and the "MAGA" nonsense. We're a week away from a solemn Senate speech that's just "googoo gaga, I'm a widdle baby"

In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS rules that the Executive Branch must be called Daddy and has the right to feel up your girlfriend

"MAGA allows for no breathing room after a tragedy, no space for unity. Instead, Trumpists immediately try to use the corpses to score political points without regard for the facts. Trump is a small, petty man and as a result, the GOP becomes smaller and pettier every day." — @playtyperguy.com

The Navy named a destroyer after Oscar Peterson in 1943, one year after he died. Pretty sure his family was aware of that honor even if Jake Tapper was not.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Our country has lost its mind and is an utter disgrace.

There are 2,000 publicly-owned utilities in the US, many of them run by local governments. They provide electricity (and some gas), basically essential services for modern life. But a publicly-run grocery store would be UNTHINKABLE www.publicpower.org/where-public...

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Trump says he hates the “biased” press, but let’s be real—he decides who’s biased based on whether they’re nice to him that day. One day you’re “not so bad,” the next he hates you again. That’s not accountability, that’s ego.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

If at first you don’t succeed, that’s ok. There’s a lot going on. And it’s hot outside. You can just let out a big moo and try again tomorrow

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

Lauren Boebert says ‘Tiger King’ Joe Exotic has reached out to her while he has been in prison, he is a “fantastic unifier,” and Trump should consider pardoning him.

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

This is why we learn the rules…

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

It's been so weird to watch a president learn things in real time when fielding a question from the press. Then, whatever word or concept he learns, he uses in the next few social media posts. It's like when a 3rd grader learns a new fact about dinosaurs.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. But it can stagger forward, drunkenly, punching itself, for a couple of centuries.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

Reading this bombshell story, it's important to keep in mind who Reuveni is. He ain't no Resistance deepstater. He's the career DOJ guy with a measure of professional reputation who signed his name on numerous filings that I'd call deeply concerning and maybe worse, until he finally said no mas.

The Supreme Court approved this today.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

I have not noticed this phenomenon.

This is good and important www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Oh ya think? 🙄

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Senate Republicans would like to light hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars on fire for no reason other than spite by forcing the Postal Service to mothball EV delivery vehicles and rip out already-installed charging infrastructure. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
