Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

The call between Putin and Trump was a painful reminder that Trump is the junior partner in the Russian-American relationship and that Putin will continue his mass-murder campaign in Ukraine for as long as he can get away with it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

Trump's first-term corruption seemed huge, but it's already been dwarfed by the ongoing, unchecked festival of domestic and foreign corruption four months into in his second term. Blame the Supreme Court and the Republican Congress. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-unqu...

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

Paul: They started out at 145% got down to 80% now 30%. It is 30% more than we have on currently. It will be a 30% rise in goods coming from China, and somebody will pay that, it will be the consumer.
