WATCH: Trump threatens to withhold funding from Maine gov. if state doesn't follow trans sports ban.

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

“Freedom of speech for me and not for thee,” sounds like something a king would say. As many of us have noted this week, we don’t do kings in America. Some thoughts on the AP’s lawsuit: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

Steph deserves to be glazed religiously ! #GoldenStateWarriors #WarriorsNation #NBAAllStar

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

Chris Murphy: "This deal that Donald Trump just cut with the mayor of New York -- it's a big deal ... they did that out in the open on TV because it's a signal to everybody else out there that the law will be applied differently to you if you are loyal to the president."

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is temporarily closed after Elon Musk fired members of its staff.

Susan Collins has no courage or integrity. She is serial breaker of her oath to support and defend the Constitution. She has been complicit in all phases of this coup since at least 2020. She is no moderate and is unfit to serve in the US Senate.

I'm glad I watched this. It was a real morale boost. www.cbsnews.com/video/a-gove...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Hey public wilderness and park users… In our shitty new corrupt first world oligarchy of Muskistan, if you get lost or hurt out there, you’re on your own. #flyfishing #tenkara #fuckmaga

Ah yes, focusing on the issues that impact regular Americans.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

@warren.senate.gov: "Elon is gonna do X Money... There's just one bump in the way and that's the CFPB... He doesn't like that... Move the bump out of the way before you start. It's like a bank robber saying, 'Before I go into the lobby with my sacks, I'm just going to fire the cops.'"
