Welch: Mel Gibson punched his then girlfriend in the teeth, threatened her with a gun while she had their infant in her arms. You asked, or one of your people asked Liz Oyer to provide a letter that basically said, okay, we can restore his gun rights. Is that correct?

Blanche: That happened the day I was starting

Welch: Two days after.

@dangitman50 @SanteenaR Tell me you’ve never worked with finish products without telling me you’ve never worked with finish products 😂😂😂😂😂

@VonnIshee92260 @SanteenaR I’ll bet you’re a wonderfully understanding parent. What luck to be your 7 year old dealing with a bully. I can hear you now laughing at and mocking them.

Summer 2015. Several lifetimes ago. A different America.

Lindsey Graham, running for president, says this about Joe Biden. The same summer he said Trump would “kill” the GOP with his hateful comments.

Several lifetimes ago. A different America.

Trump took $1 billion of your money and gave it to his family

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board tears apart Trump’s tariffs in a blistering editorial:

“The President is right that his tariffs are at work—in destroying U.S. jobs and raising prices. The U.S. has lost some 75,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2025, including 25,900 in motor vehicle and parts production...

there’s no question his tariffs are raising costs for U.S. manufacturers.…Mr. Trump and his advisers claim that foreigners pay his border taxes, but the evidence shows that U.S. companies, workers and consumers are picking up most of the tab.

The Anderson Economic Group estimates that auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico alone added about $1,600 to the cost of each car made in the U.S. last year. While auto makers absorbed some of the Trump tariff costs, they also passed on a large share to customers…Call it the Trump tax.”

@Angry_Staffer I think the one he took before IS the one he means by “just”.

@docbegel @SethAbramson I never heard him called an agent. Asset yes, agent no. And he was and continues to be an asset for Russia.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "Trump Before America, facilitated by idiots who called themselves patriots."
His treachery - most done purely for power and profit, and some from pathology, revenge, and entitlement, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.

Trump on the reflecting pool: "If you had a knife, you can't even cut it."

Also, Trump on the reflecting pool: "They cut it."

This is an important message. Manhood is about the “broadness and depth of your character”.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

The U.S. military was charged $4,361 for a half inch metal pin that costs $46.

Why? Defense contractors—with ties to private equity—are raking in excess profits.

Instead of cracking down, Trump's DoD is inviting private equity to be MORE involved in our national defense.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Taking a floating paint chip out of the Reflecting Pool is vandalism.

Smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol is patriotism.

Got it.

@Acyn He’s literally just make this up. Insanity, absolute insanity.

🚨 Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of smuggling more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump gave him a full pardon.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

Another day another pardoned J6er arrested and sentenced to 19 years for sexually assaulting a 7 year old little girl!

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.

As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.

Texan here

A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!

Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.

Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.

This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.

How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

[Janice Hough @leftcoastbabe]

Hey media

Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

86% of Americans want this. But Republicans block it every single time.
