Please read this. The government is arresting government scientists for being foreign and for studying infectious disease outbreaks when their own evidence shows they've committed no crime.

BREAKINGNEWS: Donald Trump says he doesn't think Iran has mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Just yesterday Secretary Marco Rubio said there are mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is either a fucking liar or stupid. 🚨

The House just made two HUGE votes today against Trump and for America’s national interest:

- a War Powers resolution to end Trump’s war in Iran

- funding to Ukraine to end Putin’s war

🥳 @DrBiden just shared some wonderful photos and videos of @JoeBiden and the Biden family celebrating her birthday.

I really miss having this family in the White House. There was a decency, warmth, and grace about them that we could sure use right now.

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

The New World Screwworm has been confirmed in South Texas.

We've beaten this pest before, and we'll beat it again. But let's be honest: we should have been preparing for this long before it reached our border.

Now is the time for rapid detection, sensible containment, and using every proven tool available to stop it from spreading further.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

For every single person who reads this: we need to do whatever it takes to get James Talarico elected. Every lie, every propaganda post, every conspiracy theory pushed across this platform must be met with blunt force facts and relentless truth.
Do not let misinformation breathe unchecked. Smother it with evidence. Challenge it publicly. Push back hard against the noise, the fear, and the manipulation. Stay focused. Stay loud. Stay relentless.
Democracy does not defend itself. People do.

This is Nate Paul.

He was under FBI investigation for fraud. His real estate empire was collapsing after 18 properties filed for bankruptcy in a single year.

He wrote Ken Paxton a $25,000 check.

Then Paxton directed his AG’s office to hand Paul confidential investigative files.

They blocked foreclosure sales on his properties.

And they sided with Paul against the charity he was accused of defrauding.

Nate Paul even employed Paxton's mistress at Paxton’s recommendation.

Paxton's own senior staff reported his corruption to the FBI. They were fired.

This is what Ken Paxton does when he’s in a position of power — and it’s why he should be nowhere near the U.S. Senate.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

This is how political coalitions collapse.

A lifelong Texas conservative just looked straight into the camera and basically said:

“I’d rather hand Democrats the Senate than let these corporations turn my community into a giant AI server farm.”

That is a MASSIVE warning sign for Republicans.

This is the Republican base revolting against Trump-backed Ken Paxton over data centers swallowing land, water, power grids, and entire towns.

And once rural conservatives start breaking rank over corporate overreach, property destruction, and quality-of-life issues…

the map changes FAST.

Republicans have held that Senate seat since 1993.

Now you have conservatives openly saying:
“Red or blue, if you stop the data centers, you get our vote.”

That is how realignment starts.

I expect this federal prosecutor who resigned to be one of the witnesses when @DAGToddBlanche gets disbarred.

[Rich Raho @RichRaho]

The Pope in Vatican Gardens for Rosary: “Peace is not a theory to be tested in a laboratory, nor a naïve illusion, nor a matter to be pursued out of self-interest. Rather, it must be looked for with a sincere heart. It is a daily commitment. Peace comes from justice and love…The cry of innocent people must no longer be heard in cities. No one should be forced to leave their homes due to the threat of bombs. The thirst for power and the ‘violence of words’ must stop and make room for justice and truth. Everyone can and must do their part to achieve peace, the Pope urged. It must start with small but important things, abstaining from every form of verbal or physical violence in daily life and also on social media.”

[KP Asks Why @KPASKSWHY]

Fun Fact:

The word God never appears in founding documents. Christianity is also never mentioned.

In 1797, John Adams wrote, “the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion”

Taxes should never fund any religious schools.

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

I have been in rooms in Congress where the vote was already decided before anyone spoke.

Not because of the evidence. Not because of the constituent calls. Because of the money.

Insurance company money killed the public option. Pharmaceutical company money blocked drug price negotiations for years. Corporate landlord money has stalled every serious rent stabilization effort.

This is how the system works. And it is exactly why we have to change it. Dark money is corruption, and it has no place in our democracy.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Getting really tired of some “Democrats” acting like @DrBiden has no right to tell her side of the story or promote her own memoir.

She stood by her husband and family, did the work of First Lady, kept teaching, showed up every day, and carried herself with humility and grace through more than most people could handle.

She has more than earned the right to tell her story in her own words.

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to her book.

I’ve got Dr. B’s back. Do you?

If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.
