#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “We talked about the healthcare costs that have skyrocketed. People’s healthcare premium costs were made to skyrocket by the actions of Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress with their Big Beautiful Bill. The day after tomorrow on Wednesday, we are about to see a whole bunch of people in a whole lot of new economic hurt when the provisions of that bill related to student loans go into effect. Starting Wednesday this week, people are going to start to see their student loan repayment bills skyrocket the same way their health insurance has skyrocketed, not because of some natural factor happening in the economy but specifically because of Trump and Republican’s legislation that DELIBERATELY made those things expensive.”🙄🤦‍♀️

If three supreme court justices currently believe that Trump can change the constitution with an executive order that means it's time to expand the supreme court

BREAKING: YES! A federal judge TOSSES OUT the Justice Department's "blatantly unlawful and unethical" grand jury subpoenas against Governor Tim Walz and other Minnesota Democrats in a scathing ruling.

This is deeply embarrassing for Trump...

"Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use the grand-jury process,” wrote U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz.

In addition to Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had been targeted for daring to stand up to Trump's brutal ICE crackdowns in his city. St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her and commissioners in Ramsey and Hennepin counties were also caught in the net.

Judge Schiltz wrote that there is "no doubt" that the Trump-controlled DOJ issued the subpoenas in order to "harass" the President's political enemies so that they might cave and begin supporting his immigration agenda.

“And, of course, this campaign played out against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s well-established history of using criminal investigations to retaliate against and pressure the President’s political and personal adversaries,” added Schiltz, who was appointed by George W. Bush.

The judge is, of course, absolutely right. Trump has weaponized the Justice Department in broad daylight, making no effort hide his corruption of what was once a nonpartisan institution into an apparatus for partisan vengeance. Hell, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is his former personal attorney.

Judge Schiltz pointed to Trump's constant attacks and threats of "retribution" against Walz as proof "beyond reasonable dispute” that the subpoenas “were a part of a broader campaign to coerce state and local officials in Minnesota to assist the Trump administration in its enforcement of immigration laws.”

Once again, we see the courts serving as our last remaining guardrail against all-out MAGA fascism. This judge deserves our thanks and we must urge other courts to follow his lead!

Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!

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

Smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol is patriotism.

Got it.

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out of thin air simply to protect one man from his own embarrassing failure.

There is no sabotage. This is insane.

[Sarrah Bellus @sarrah_bellus]

Donald Trump will go down in history as the only US President to be outwitted by a single-celled organism.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

#BREAKING: @jdvance: “If you go back to WWII, if you go back to WWI, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.”

Lawrence: “NO, they didn’t. WWII ended with ZERO negotiations. WWII ended the way Donald Trump claimed his war in #Iran was going to end—unconditional surrender. Japan and Germany each signed unconditional surrender documents. Adolf Hitler killed himself rather than submit Germany to the unconditional surrender that he knew was coming. Every vice president, everyone, prior to JD Vance has KNOWN that President FDR demanded the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan during WWII and when FDR died…his vice president, then elevated to the presidency, Harry Truman, accepted those unconditional surrenders without a word of negotiation with anyone about those surrenders. That kind of statement by JD Vance demonstrating a complete IGNORANCE of how WWII ended is the kind of thing that used to get you drummed out of American politics before Donald Trump’s DUMBING DOWN of the Republican Party and it tells you something about  the quality of thinking that the vice president of the United States brings to his job.” 😳

[Acyn @Acyn]

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others and see government as nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils and punish enemies, and keep those who are different in their place. I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end.

Mike Johnson admitted Republicans plan to gut Social Security after the midterms. But wait — Bill Clinton had a budget SURPLUS for 4 years while Social Security paid out to millions just fine. The deficit isn’t Social Security’s fault. It’s Trump’s tax cuts. $13 trillion worth.

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

A tech exec making a million dollars stops paying into Social Security in March. A school teacher pays in every single paycheck all year long. That’s the rigged system.

Make the wealthy pay their fair share and Social Security is saved.

BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu DESTROYS Trump's Agriculture Secretary over her insane lie that Joe Biden is to blame for the screwworm outbreak — which is a direct result of DOGE cuts!

Democrats are done playing nice with these liars...

"Dear@SecRollins: You keep getting fact checked for your lies," the congressman wrote on X. "It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs. Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days. The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days. If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign."

Lieu was reacting to a video of Rollins insisting that this new screwworm problem traces "back to the last administration" and Biden's nonexistent "open border policy."

This is yet another blatant example of the Trump administration coming into power, breaking something that they don't understand, and then blaming Biden for the consequences. They are pathologically incapable of taking responsibility for any of their blunders.

"Dear @SecRollins: Did the Screwworm come from the trump Administration’s beef import plan with Argentina?" Lieu wrote in a followup post, boosting a report that Trump signed a trade deal with Argentina that permitted "unrestricted beef imports" from that country despite its screwworm problem.

Screwworms, which devour tissue and can kill cattle, have been detected in a growing number of calves in Texas. One case has been discovered in a dog. The pest had been considered eradicated in the United States for decades, but under Elon Musk's tenure at DOGE, the government slashed preventive measures and funding aimed at hampering the spread of the creature.

Before those cuts, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), spent tax dollars on monitoring and containing the spread of screwworm in Central America. It was one of the most worthwhile government investments on the books, because it helped stop destructive outbreaks like the one we're currently witnessing.

"Trump GUTTED funding for screwworm detection and fired 25 percent of workers whose job it was to monitor the disease," Congressman Shri Thanedar wrote on X.

We know who's to blame here and it's not Joe Biden. It's Donald Trump and Elon Musk, ignorant oligarchs who were so hellbent on slashing spending to pay for more tax cuts for the obscenely rich, that they didn't care what they destroyed in the process.

Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation into DOGE!

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

Congrats, Annie! Together, we will defeat Lindsey Graham and flip the Senate.

If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."

Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.

[Brian Cardone 🏴‍☠️🇺🇦 @cardon_brian]

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.
