OMG -- Fox News carries Raskin's opening statement during a hearing where he highlights the fraud that was Trump University and contrasts it with the SPLC

Blow: The is a news show on a news channel and I have an ethical responsibility to say you are lying.

Lambert: Do not call me a liar on national TV sir! You are a liar!

Blow: You are liar.

Getting sick shouldn’t put you in debt. Insurance companies are exploiting Americans for their own profit, and I’m ready to take them on.

This morning, I observed several mega master hearings — a new tactic the Trump administration is using where up to 100 people appear before an immigration judge as if they are on an assembly line.

Trump has turned our immigration system into a factory, denying due process and ignoring the law to indiscriminately and illegally remove our immigrant community members from this country.

This is a blatant violation of due process, and it must be stopped.

BREAKING: CNN reports Trump’s White House ballroom and renovation projects are now facing scrutiny over massive costs, inflated profit margins, and no-bid contracts.

According to reporting, one renovation project tied to the White House reflecting pool ballooned to $13.1 million; roughly seven times higher than Trump initially estimated, while investigators say the contractor received unusually high profit margins.

And now, while inflation hits a three-year high and Americans struggle with rent, groceries, and gas…

Why does Washington suddenly have unlimited money for spectacle?

More than three quarters of Americans, including 55 percent of Republicans, said President Trump’s policies had increased the cost of living in their community.

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man, and it’s because some folks didn’t want us to.

In 2021, organizers at an Ohio Memorial Day ceremony muted retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter for nearly two minutes the moment he began discussing how formerly enslaved Black Americans exhumed the remains of Union soldiers to give them proper burials.

Guess that makes Trump's USA a fourth-world country.

Nobelprijswinnaar Krugman noemt Trump de meest openlijke corrupte leider. "We weten dat Putin zich met miljarden heeft verrijkt, dat haalde hij niet direct uit de schatkist. Er was altijd verhulling. Zelfs dictators uit derdewereldlanden proberen hun diefstal te verdoezelen."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Tonight, the Russians struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities and communities. The largest number of missiles was directed at the capital – at ordinary residential buildings, at schools; they burned down a food market, one of Kyiv’s oldest markets. The Russian strike effectively destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum and the building housing the office of Germany’s ARD. As of now, 69 people have been reported injured in the capital. Tragically, two people were killed in this senseless Russian attack. My condolences to everyone who has lost family members and loved ones.

I have already spoken with the President of France and the Prime Minister of Norway. There will be further communication with our partners today. I am grateful to everyone who is not staying silent about what Russia is doing. They are waging war solely against our people – against our memory, our history, and everything that makes up normal human life. It is important that Russia understands that they will be held accountable for all these crimes.

Ossoff: I am hearing from Republicans who come up to me on the street, or they approach me at the airport, or maybe they have my number and they give me a call, and they're telling me that they are voting for a Democrat for the first time this year because they've just had enough.

The abuses of power, the blatant self-enrichment and corruption, while the American people face all-time high prices for rent and groceries and a meal out at a restaurant and the power bill — the people have had enough. And I believe that a mighty wave is building to rebuke these abuses of power and to restore checks and balances.

BREAKING: Stunning new polling shows Democrat James Talarico leading in the polls against his likely Republican opponent in Texas' Senate race. This would be a MASSIVE flip for Democrats. Wow.

Crime pays in Trumpworld.

[chiky handler @chiky_handlr]

Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?

Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

David Axelrod: Here's the problem for Republicans. They can't live in the Republican Party without Donald Trump, and they can't live outside of the Republican Party with Donald Trump because he's an epically unpopular president who is popular among his own tribe, and his own tribe is not big enough to win elections.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Every GOP member of Congress should be asked by the press whether they agree Trump can use $1.7b that we, the taxpayers, paid so gov’t could work for us, as reward money to his supporters.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

This is not normal. There's something wrong with the President of the United States.
