I dunno man, it’s not like he’s just a regular old normal president. I get that everyone is invested in Mamdani being perfect, but that press conference was pretty gross. Liz Cheney made it her life’s mission to ensure that Trump wasn’t normalized. She went down swinging.

Exclusive: More American service members have died in the Middle East during the ongoing Iran war than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly, according to six U.S. officials familiar with the data.

The media was so creative when prices were high under Biden. Remember when milk was up and they found a family that went through 7 gallons a week and interviewed them? Now that prices are even higher now under trump, they’ve somehow lost their spark

Gloria Steinem on Dolly Parton, 1987:

"If feminism means each of us finding our unique power, and helping other women do the same, Dolly Parton certainly has done both."

[Tim @trouble_man90]

The whole point of Talarico’s candidacy was that he would bring in white and Latino voters and Jasmine could not. Jasmine cant help him with those voters and if she campaigned with him she would hurt him with those voters. It’s best she stay away.

[Brendan Duke 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Brendan_Duke]

One humbling thought—Bill Clinton’s 1993 tax increases were the largest permanent, standalone tax increase since 1951. They would raise the equivalent of $3.3T over 2030-39. That shouldn’t serve as a ceiling but as an acknowledgement of historical ambition 2029 could require.

Jane Fonda pays a heartfelt tribute to her “9 to 5” co-star Dolly Parton:

"I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on. I know that millions are mourning and I want to say this – more than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always be with us because she was so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever. We have our memories of her, her songs, Dollywood, '9to5,' the millions of books she got into the hands of children, all the iconic images that bring her to us. And they are all blessings. "

"Let’s be grateful for all that she has left us to ease our sadness now. I never knew anyone like her. She was simultaneously a naughty, playful southern gal from the hollows of Tennessee and a deep, soulful thinker who could see through people right down to their true selves. She was many things…lyricist, songstress, player of many instruments, writer, prankster, visionary, loyal friend, who’d never go to bed before she and her friends had laughed so hard they’d have to cross their legs."

"She had a survivor’s instinct and seemed to always know just what to do, just what to say, to make things right...and then she’s stick her butt out the car window and moon Kenny Roger’s home. She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy. That’s something of hers she’d want us all to take with us."

"To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn’t want y’all to mourn now. Dress up and celebrate her spirit. But first, watch the final episode of Grace and Frankie where she’s an Angel, the head honcho working class angel in Heaven. RIP, beautiful woman. We love you."

Simply put, Dolly Parton was an American original. She was an inspiration to millions. She was a relentless advocate for women and for equality. Through her Imagination Library, she placed the gift of reading into the hands of millions of children because she understood literacy is the foundation of opportunity.

But perhaps most importantly, Dolly treated everyone with kindness and respect. She lived her values with a flair and vitality for life that was uniquely her own. She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word, and she will be missed by millions around the world.

Jill and I are keeping her family, her friends, and her millions of fans in our prayers.

God bless Dolly Parton.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

The malicious claim that American Jews are inviting violence against themselves is dangerous and antisemitic.

There is zero justification for threats against the safety of our Jewish brothers and sisters at a moment of rising hate.

We will fight the cancer of antisemitism with the fierce urgency of now.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

The economy is a mess.

Republican extremists have failed the American people.

And now they are in a full-blown panic about the reckoning that is to come.

Dummies are turning this into fake bad news. Meanwhile this is Trump surrendering the House.

Hillary got in trouble for using her emails in the way Colin Powell did and he specifically recommended she also do, this cost her the election, and we’ve never heard about email security protocols since. There has never been a reckoning for this.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

There’s an agreement in D.C among elected officials, the mainstream media and press, and the trump administration to not report on certain things, they give Trump sweetheart coverage. All Jon Ossoff did is say one of those secrets out loud.
