Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.” @sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.

🤨

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Two weeks ago. Rinse & repeat. 🇺🇸

Absolutely ridiculous. Moran stated verifiable facts that anyone paying attention knows.

Trump has to keep feeding MAGA's bottomless appetite for the spectacle of him inflicting misery and suffering on the people they've been commanded to hate. Nothing ever quite satisfies them.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

YES!!!

DEAN: Did your department have any worry about the president growing his own business while on the job? LUTNICK: My trip to the Middle East was extraordinary. It was amazing. DEAN: I'm sure. I'm asking you, did the question of conflict of interest come up? LUTNICK: No DEAN: It is grotesque

KENNEDY: Tell me your understanding of the Trade Expansion Act? LUTNICK: I don't have a really good understanding of the term KENNEDY: You're not familiar with the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 that gives the president almost unlimited authority to impose tariffs?

It’s on record.

Very good job by Shaw with Hawley's usual sarcastic approach. (Familiar if you watch Judiciary hearings - reframe witness's position as crazy, goad them into disagreeing, then say hey check out this smart guy who can't defend the position.)

In a fiery speech, Taco Trump urged Americans to "live lean, mean, and super patriotic!" Forget lavish spending-Trump says, "We're all tightening our belts to Make America Great Again!"

New York GDP per capita: $117.3K Florida GDP per capita: $73.8K Republicans want you to be poor

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Rand Paul: "Somebody has to stand up and yell, 'the emperor has no clothes.' Everybody is falling in lockstep on this -- 'Pass the big beautiful bill. Don't question anything.' Well, conservatives do need to stand up ... if we don't stand up on it, I really fear the direction the country is going."

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

I joined Nicole Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss Bruce Springsteen's rebuke of the Trump administration, Vice President JD Vance's criticisms of Chief Justice John Roberts. I offer my analysis and additional thoughts. youtu.be/zwTWXJ_wdW8

Hard to know whether I should laugh or cry. Even though this skit about Count Flatula's #corruption is humorous, it's also our reality. Once this level of open bribery is accepted as a way to do anything, it is impossible to eradicate. Corruption is the DEFINTION of a #ShitholeCountry. #PayMe

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

The GOP budget: brought to you by the phrase “stop hitting yourself.”

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

“I will end that war in 24 hours. I’ll stop all those lives from being lost. There will be no more bombing of Ukraine and everyone will be happy. It wouldn’t even be tough because I know just what to say to each of them. It may not even take 24 hours.”

File under: Not white enough

I mean what’s even the point of talking to Republican members of Congress? Why not just read Trump posts from Truth Social?

BESSENT: We would like to have Apple help us make the semiconductor supply chain more secure. FOX: It takes time to move those production facilities. What's realistic for Apple? BESSENT: I don't know from company to company, so we'll have to see.

Thank you Hakeem Jeffries 👇👇👇👇👇

letter from harvard’s president: trump admin “continues a series of government actions to retaliate against harvard for our refusal to surrender our academic independence and to submit to the federal government’s illegal assertion of control over our curriculum, our faculty, and our student body.”

They will NEVER silence us on the House Floor. Or anyplace else.

😮😮😮😮😮

liar liar pants on fire. As always #karolineleavitt

CHATTANOOGA: “I was shocked. Then I went to anger.” Tennessee Christian Prep just suspended, kept from graduation, and withheld the diploma of a student who came out as gay online. She is now suing. Full: www.wsmv.com/2025/05/21/t...

Q: POTUS played a video he said showed more than 1,000 burial sites of white South Africans that were murdered. We know that's not true. Why did he show it? LEAVITT: It showed images of crosses about white farmers who have been killed & persecuted bc of the color of their skin...that's ridiculous

REPORTER: There is no credible evidence of a genocide in South Africa. What information was given by experts in the field to support this? TAMMY BRUCE: As we all knew, the president has been very vocal about his concern about the violence
