US taxpayers will now pay Ashli Babbitt’s family $5 million.

Happy Birthday to MeidasTouch co-founder @meiselasb.bsky.social! Sorry we don't have a $400 million Qatari jet to gift you. But we will send you our love!

Taxpayers pay $5M to the family of J6 insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt. Trump praises Putin. Musk’s AI site spews toxic gas. SCOTUS strips 350K migrants’ legal status. And that's just the beginning. Catch up with our daily bulletin:

Trump stays silent as deadly storms ravage the U.S. The Trump-GOP tax scam explodes the deficit. Trump targets Beyoncé. The FBI's new Epstein cover-up. Global MAGA defeats. Russia-Ukraine updates. And more! Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

This is truly sickening

Trump’s proposed budget slashes billions for essential programs that millions of Americans rely on—just to hand over $1 trillion for military spending overseen by Pete Hegseth and help give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

Trump shows more concerning signs of cognitive collapse, chaos within Trump’s cabinet. Plus, how the Trump White House is turning press briefings into propaganda sessions. Listen now:

There it is.

BREAKING: Canada's Liberal Party led by Prime Minister Mark Carney is projected by CTV and CBC to WIN the Canadian elections

Charlie was spot on

No apologies necessary.

Our office filed a lawsuit against RealPage and 9 landlords for conspiring to drive up local housing costs. Our analysis shows that pricing is higher for properties in markets where RealPage’s software is used. The scheme cheats renters and prices families out of affordable housing.

We joined a coalition of 21 AGs to stop a federal order dismantling 3 agencies that ensure people have access to public libraries and museums, support workers and fund businesses developed by vulnerable communities. Washingtonians benefit from these agencies' work and we will fight to protect them.

Washington state was a pioneer in ensuring residents have easy, secure and full access to voting in elections. The Trump administration continues to lie about free and fair elections in states like ours and issued an an unconstitutional order limiting ballot access.

Sen. Maria Cantwell is taking on Trump’s reckless trade war and fighting to restore Congress’s authority over tariffs. Washington’s economy thrives on global exports, from apples to aerospace, not chaos.

The Trump admin is making trails rougher and less safe after illegally firing 125 U.S. Forest Service workers in Washington state. Crews and rangers who should be clearing fallen trees and responding to emergencies won’t be there, and some might not even come back.

They need their fur. You do not.

Horses don’t volunteer – they can only submit to violence and coercion. It’s time for the Olympics to move into the modern era. https://petauk.org/3ja

"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it." -Judge L Hand May we rise in the spirit and do what is necessary to protect our nation.

Senator Kaine and the Democrats will NOT stop fighting back against Donald Trump. Keep being loud!

While Trump plays games with tariffs and trade wars, millions of hardworking Americans are worried about their retirement savings, their job security, and what the price of groceries and clothes might be this month. These actions are reckless and causing real stress & harm.

This week the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Republicans’ latest attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. I break it down for @meidastouch.com youtu.be/OaqxfizbTs8?...

This week: As Trump tanks the economy, Republicans start to revolt and State Supreme Court races have major developments. I recap for @meidastouch.com

Lamont: I think Lutnick is whistling by the graveyard. I think this incredible uncertainty is a drag upon the economy. I think investors have spoken—you see that with the market reaction today. People don’t know if they should invest or not because they don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring.

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers response to Trump's disastrous tariffs on MeidasTouch

Justice Riggs won her election for the NC Supreme Court. Republicans are trying to steal it.

Warmonger Trump desperately trying to get people excited about a war in Yemen to protect primarily Chinese and Saudi shipping so he can try and divert attention away from tanking the economy. We will be up to $2 billion in costs next week bombing shacks in the desert.

Liar Greg Abbott says he has refused to set a special election to fill the seat of recently diseased Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner because he says Harris County doesn’t do their elections properly.

Donald Trump’s economy.

Did the penguins back down to Trump yet?

Tagging TMZ and BBC is the best part for me.

The Shining City on a Hill has turned into a steaming pile of shit.

It doesn’t sound like we are getting the Golden Era on Day 1 like we were promised

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

House GOP puts judges on ‘Wanted’ posters. Elon Musk pays voters to attend his WI rally. Trump floats a 3rd term. The world realigns on trade—without the U.S. And much more. Catch up on a wild day in politics:

Republicans tell Americans to embrace pain as Trump readies massive tariffs. Plus: Elon’s vote-buying scheme, GOP panic in a red district, innocent people sent prison camps in El Salvador, and more. Buckle up. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes. They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured. Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.
