JUST IN: ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, which exposes the fatal consequences of abortion bans, has won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. This is the second consecutive year we’ve been awarded this distinction and our eighth Pulitzer: www.propublica.org/series/life-...

JUST IN: Attorney Mark Zaid has filed a lawsuit against the White House, saying the suspension of his security clearance, which has disrupted his clients' legal representation, is unconstitutional retaliation by Trump. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Note that there is a very specific carve-out in IEEPA preventing this exact scenario which they wrote once when the IEEPA came out and then REWROTE it in the 90s bc the first version was vague enough for the President to intentionally misinterpret.

60 Minutes this evening:

With a 500% tax on Home Alone, the one with Trump in it.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador. I did mine... who's next?

Video from today’s Mike Lawler town hall. While people are being forcibly removed for loudly disagreeing, this man gleefully chants, “Beat her up! Deport her! Kill her!” These are scary times for our country.(He was not removed) #mikelawler #lawlertownhall #ny17 #michaellawler

He’s making his own bed…

1. BREAKING A hacker has breached and stolen customer data from TeleMessage, an obscure Israeli company that sells modified versions of Signal and other messaging apps to the U.S. government to archive messages. TeleMessage is the platform that Mike Waltz was seen using during a cabinet meeting.

Keep an eye on this. Am hearing that budget officers are facing more red tape than usual in getting money apportioned to them. OMB is asking lots of burdensome questions to justify withholding funds. Seeming goal is to create the illusion of unspent funds to justify impoundment.

Alcratraz is own and operated by the National Parks Service. It's a tourist attraction.

How is this a National Security Threat?

It will never cease to amaze me that this level of unsubtle dishonesty, such explicitly self-serving rhetoric has managed to convince so many people.

🚨 Trump confirms that he offered to send US troops into Mexico to "take care of the cartels"

Private school vouchers are now law in Texas. Here’s how they will work.

President Trump signed orders targeting law firms that had connections to investigations or legal cases related to Trump or his allies. A senior partner at one firm told 60 Minutes the orders were “diabolical” and “intended to bankrupt [us].” cbsn.ws/43btfGV

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello?

A POTUS who said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. is doing something nearly as bad with his massive crypto grift - selling access to his WH as he and his kids pocket hundreds of millions of dollars Why can't we stop a bigger scandal than Watergate? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

WELKER: When does it become the Trump economy? TRUMP: It partially is right now. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy

Damn…

There are countless better ways to make a buck these days than owning a news outlet. Why be in the journalism business if you're not interested in protecting reporters' rights? Go sell phone cases or pet food or something.

One of the most underrated stories over the last 5 years is the Dems who have been corrupted by crypto money (growing every day as crypto pours money into primaries) causing a big split within the Dem caucus

When Trump and DOGE trashed USAID and sentenced millions to death, I kept hearing the refrain from Republicans “we can use the money to take care of our own citizens.” Guess that wasn’t the reason after all. 👇👇👇👇👇

And there you have it.

WTF

There's something missing from discussions of Mike Waltz' continued use of Signal, along with his use of an Israeli archiving tool. When Trump was asked abt SignalGate, he said, "maybe stay off Signal." Everyone--Marco, Waltz, and JD--are still on there. www.404media.co/mike-waltz-a...

Beryl Howell has thrown out the entirety of the Trump EO targeting Perkins Coie, including any security clearance restrictions tied to the EO. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. And bust is boom. As the grave consequences of the administration’s policies become apparent, Trump and his lieutenants have retreated to a fantasyland. My latest column. wapo.st/3RIvtXZ

Federal transportation safety officials were investigating on Friday after two commercial flights aborted landings because an Army helicopter had entered the airspace around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, where helicopter traffic has been restricted since a fatal collision in January.

Trump promised jobs. Michigan’s unemployment rate spiked to 5.5%, the 2nd highest spike nationwide. Trump promised lower costs. Tariffs will drive prices up. 🧵
