Predict that some reporter will ask Trump about a third term and he’ll say, “I guess a lot of people are saying I should do it.” The reporter will bring up the Constitution and he will say, “I don’t know about that. It’s a very popular idea, frankly.”

ALEXANDER: Fraud is a crime. Have you turned over evidence of fraud to the Justice Department, and when should we expect to see those indictments? LEAVITT: It's a clever question

A growing number of congressional Republicans are desperately trying to back-channel with White House officials as DOGE ramps up its slash-and-burn firings of federal workers. Republicans particularly worried about cuts affecting public safety and health roles.

No to oligarchy. Join the #3E movement.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Remember: politicians work for YOU. Don’t let them forget that.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

Breaking news: A federal judge in Maryland on Friday temporarily blocked key portions of President Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the federal government and corporate America.

This is how it’s done.

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This is a good moment to thank the federalism gods. States choose their election technology, not the federal government. In blue states the read out will be GTFO Elon. And given how toxic he’s getting probably in a lot of red states too.

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Dear Chris Hemsworth, when you find yourself doing a meta ad with a Kardashian, you need to step back and reevaluate what you're doing with your life.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Let me know if you agree Trump deserves to be called out! 💙

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

The White House has kept the wire service from covering key events because it refuses to call the body of water between Mexico and Florida the Gulf of America, as the Trump administration prefers.

The 'find out' phase is here.
