Republicans are trying to poor-shame Talarico for sharing a checking account with his mother, but they have no problem with the Speaker of the House (!!!) not reporting a checking account at all.

NYT: Now that you're approaching a new phase in this conflict in this Iran, can you now say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children?

TRUMP: No. It's such a strange question to be asked. It's a long time ago. Mistakes are made. I would ask Pete Hegseth that question.

Trump: "The stock market is more brilliant than anybody there is, including the people on this stage, other than me of course"

It’s a great day for the White House to explain why Howard Lutnick still runs the Commerce Department.

For years, Lutnick downplayed his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He claimed he was so disgusted by Epstein that he cut ties back in 2005. Then the Epstein Files came out. They show Lutnick visited Epstein’s private island in 2012, four years after Epstein’s 2008 sex-crime conviction.

This past April 1, just weeks after the House Oversight Committee arranged to question him about Epstein, Lutnick donated $5 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the main super PAC for House Republicans and Mike Johnson. That PAC bankrolls the very members who then heard his testimony. It was his first political donation as a sitting Cabinet secretary. He gave his closed-door deposition on May 6 and walked out still holding his job.

Even the Republican chairman admitted Lutnick had not been fully truthful about the island visit.

Lutnick must resign.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “It was supposed to open Friday, it is not open because Trump says he does not want it open. When this bridge does open some day, if Trump ever lets it open, you should know that there is a competing bridge a little way down the river, a privately-owned very old very congested toll bridge that will likely LOSE some of its traffic…because of competition. It will lose some of its traffic to this pretty, brand new bridge that has just been built. The family that operates the competing old bridge, earlier this year, made a $1 million donation to Donald Trump’s super pac. In short order, a member of that family then got an in person meeting with Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The White House and the pac say that was just a coincidence…but after the million dollar donation, he gets this meeting, and then the SAME day of the meeting, Howard Lutnick calls President Donald Trump and then Trump suddenly discovers new supposedly trade-related reasons why he’s now suddenly against this bridge, even though previously he has been for it.” 🤦‍♀️

Ben Meiselas connects the dots between Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and North Korea's nuclear program: When Donald Trump pulled out of the JCPOA, it sent the message that this template that was going to be used for North Korea would never work because the U.S. would never keep its word.

So Kim Jong-un viewed Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA and said, "Got it, this guy is an easy mark; let's do the love letter thing and drag this out and build the nuclear weapons."

Part of Obama's thinking behind the JCPOA was North Korea as well, and it was reducing the proliferation of nuclear weapons as an international governing principle.

Joe Biden just called Donald Trump, the most corrupt president in the history of the United States.

This took place in deep red South Dakota.

BREAKING: IT'S MURDER! Death of a 31-year-old woman dropped by ICE at a Pittsburgh bus stop in freezing weather with no coat ruled a homicide!

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office has ruled the death by hypothermia of Haitian immigrant Daphy Michel, who spent more than 30 hours shivering at a Pittsburgh bus stop after being dumped by ICE, a homicide.

Three days earlier, Michel had been in Washington County Jail on misdemeanor charges that a judge dismissed. Her family was waiting to pick her up in Charleroi – just a 40-minute drive away.

But because ICE had placed a detainer on her, instead of releasing her to loved ones, authorities handed her over to immigration enforcement.

ICE fitted her with an ankle monitor, put her in their “Alternatives to Detention” program, and then dropped her off on the South Side of Pittsburgh, far from home, in February cold, wearing only light clothing. She never made it back.

“When you release someone like that that far from home, it’s a recipe for disaster,” Her attorney Joseph Murphy said. “She would have been in her own environment. She wouldn’t have been sitting around a bus stop [with no coat] in February, and she’d be alive now.”

The death at the hands of ICE was no accident. It was the direct result of cold, bureaucratic cruelty, with immigration officials choosing enforcement theater over basic human decency.

County Executive Sara Innamorato said the death was “a tragedy that appears that with a little humanity, it could have been completely avoidable.”

After the death, friends and family gathered at the bus stop where she died and held a vigil for her (photo, right).

This horror is part of a pattern under Trump’s ICE that hasn’t dissipated since the agency has fallen from the headlines: they still treat people as disposable, and appear to get perverse satisfaction making life as difficult as possible for the people they harass, like dropping vulnerable individuals in unfamiliar places with no support.

Michel didn’t deserve to die alone in the cold on a bench because the system cared more about optics than people. Her death should haunt every official who signed off on this cruel process. Each one should be worried about the pendulum of justice swinging in their direction now that the ruling is official.

If this preventable, heartbreaking tragedy makes you furious, like and share this post.

No one should die abandoned in brutal winter's cold because ICE decided their life didn’t matter.

Proud of her for speaking up against Trump and the hate he spreads. 💙
Would you still support Taylor Swift even though she is against Trump?

Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.

RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

😱😱😱 And just like that, it completely VANISHED from the media.

But a sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

While out for breakfast earlier, a man of about 80 told me, “By time Trump is done…many people may just be ready to say, ‘Tear the entire White House down…and start fresh.’ He has tainted it in a way nothing…and no one else…ever has…or could.”
