The general public does not fully grasp everything that the federal government does, and many are experiencing a very harsh awakening. It’s just sad, and it really doesn’t have to be this way.

This is beautiful.

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

Klobuchar on Stephen Miller saying the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus: "He's doing it because they don't want to focus on what's really in front of them, and that they have created havoc in our economy ... no, they're not gonna reverse habeas corpus in the Congress."

Wait I thought we were going to start manufacturing everything here

WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.” Singer @montemader.bsky.social says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJgZk_W...

WELKER: You talked about the fact that this might not be confined to Newark. Are there other airports that you're concerned about? DUFFY: I'm concerned about the whole airspace. The equipment that we use much of it we can't buy parts for new.

republicans have gone so far overboard for Trump that they are now iffy on the US Constitution.

Whaaaat? There are no rules of conduct anymore

The Coalition of the Willing 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇩🇪🇵🇱🇺🇦 The Coalition of the Willing — French President Emmanuel Macron, UK PM Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Polish PM Donald Tusk have arrived in Kyiv for a meeting set to take place today. Welcome to Ukraine!

Trump is one of the worst negotiators in foreign policy history (as his deal with the Houthis shows). When it comes to Putin, he has already given away the farm, so that Putin’s negotiating floor now is higher than the ceiling would have been with Biden. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

🇩🇪 Merz: "There will be a serious tightening of sanctions and large-scale assistance to Ukraine will continue - political, financial and military. Donald Trump is obviously losing patience with Putin."

Republicans have given themselves a set of mutually exclusive constraints for their upcoming tax-and-budget bill: *cut taxes, especially for rich & corporations *not expand deficit *not tick off their constituents, who would absolutely be hurt by Medicaid/SNAP cuts *not raise debt limit

Trump’s pick of Fox host Jeanine Pirro for U.S. Attorney in D.C. brings the number of Fox hires in his administration to 23. It’s not a government, it’s a casting call for state TV.

Per NBC News: Rumeysa Ozturk has been released!

DOGE was never about "efficiency."

Deplorable

It took approximately *six* years to get my Afghan SIV client — who supported U.S. and allied operations and was threatened by the Taliban as a result — vetted, approved, and resettled.

She makes me proud to be a New Mexican.

Ah yes, taking bold action against... librarians.

There's a lot to this, but I'm stuck on one thing: If Americans have a patriotic duty to be as healthy as possible, maybe the Trump administration should be promoting vaccinations?

• Deregulated crypto after launching a crypto firm • Selling meme coins for political access to top buyers • Opening a private DC club • Cut 19 foreign business deals • Peddling exclusive investment tips Definitely stretch before listening to her mental gymnastics.

During his first term, Trump owned and profited from Trump-branded hotels, including one located just blocks from the WH, where companies and foreign governments lined his pockets. It was an unprecedented level of presidential corruption. And it seems quaint compared to what’s happening right now.
