Republicans allowed ACA tax credits to expire. Republicans cut Medicaid. Premiums doubled. Rural hospitals are closing. And Republicans want to lecture us about 'fiscal responsibility.' The cruelty and stupidity is the point. Restore the credits. Reverse the cuts. Now. #RestoreACATaxCredits

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

Good morning. The sky is clear. My dog is a good boy.
More and more, we're seeing this progression:
1. Trump does something stupid.
2. Trump lies about what he did or why he did it.
3. Trump tries to cover up his stupidity.
4. Trump gets humiliated and America is worse off.
5. Trump doubles down defiantly and his polling tanks further.
You can see that progression in the more minor fiasco of the Reflecting Pool. Trump hired an incompetent crony on a no-bid contract - there's the stupidity. When the stupidity led to problems, he lied about why. He then tried to cover up the truth (his stupidity) by arresting someone. The case against the person Trump had arrested fell apart, exposing the stupidity. Trump is not the least bit contrite, blabbers more nonsense, and the American people foot the bill for his pathological idiocy.
You can also see this progression in the more major fiasco of the War in Iran. Trump attacked Iran with lots of ferocity but zero forethought - which is the stupidity. When the stupidity led to problems - the Strait of Hormuz closure and the price of oil rising - Trump lied about why he did it, with at least 5 lies, including that Iran was close to a nuclear weapon. He then tried to cover up the truth with threatening bluster alternating with contrived diplomacy. He got nowhere and was humiliated and America, and its allies, became worse off. Trump keeps doubling down defiantly because he needs an exit and doubling down is all he knows how to do.
We can apply this formula to almost anything he touches - tariffs, Epstein, the Blanche confirmation - anything. It all starts with a lie, then an exposure of the lie, then a cover-up, then a humiliation and then - a doubling down.
Why does he double down? Because he's a psychopath - a malignant narcissist, owned by his disorders, in an advanced stage of his decline, and he has zero connection to empathy, shame, contrition, or any other form of humanity.
Why don't his lies get called out at the onset? They do, but not enough - because he's normalized.
Our awareness is important. We are The People. We have the Power. May his polling tank further.
Have a nice day!

The Trump administration could have kept popular consumer protections that returned money to cheated families.

Instead, they're dismantling the CFPB.

Same playbook, different day—voting rights, housing, taxes. They're pulling apart the institutions designed to protect us.

BREAKING: Leaked Andrew Tate texts are looking VERY bad for the Trump admin…

Texts from Andrew Tate reveal that a Trump admin official directly intervened on the Tate brothers behalf in early 2025 to stall the sex trafficking investigation.

“I had word from The Trump admin that theyre on top of things,” wrote Andrew Tate via text.

Tate’s former lawyer, Paul Ingrassia, is now a Trump admin official, and is the one who requested the Tate brothers devices be returned to them.

You may remember Paul Ingrassia from his leaked texts last year in which he said he “has a Nazi streak” and uses old slurs.

JD Vance still follows the Tate brothers on Twitter. Barron is friends him them. All of this happened after Andrew admitted to being a pimp on camera.

This is the Republican Party now. I’m a young dude who loves America, and hates seeing it hijacked by these hateful , abusive, degenerates.

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

The President is focused on using his office to make money for himself, his children, and his allies.

This corruption has a cost. It is leaving us all worse off to have a White House that's not focused on solving our problems or on the needs of the American people.

And with a Supreme Court that allows it and a weak Republican Congress that enables it every step of the way, it's clear that we need real reform.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol agents violently pulled a U.S. citizen PASSENGER from a vehicle, slamming him to the ground…

Then shouted that he had a gun, even though he didn’t.

In Tucson, Arizona, state troopers pulled over a vehicle. While they were stopped on the side of the road, the state trooper called Border Patrol because the PASSENGER appeared to be Hispanic.

When Border Patrol arrived, the situation immediately escalated to agents smashed both passenger-side windows.

One agent tried to hit the phone out of the driver’s hand, who was recording, as they violently ripped the backseat passenger out of the vehicle, and threw him onto the ground, while multiple agents pin him down.

Then, an agent ordered the driver out of the vehicle.

She responded, “I didn’t do anything.”

The agent replied, “Step out or you are going to get tackled.”

At that point, at least three agents already had the passenger pinned, with his hands behind his back, when another agent suddenly yelled, “Gun!”

A fourth agent responded, “He has a gun?”

The driver immediately yells back, “NO! He has NO gun. WE HAVE NO WEAPONS!”

The agent, closest to the car, was startled by this, appearing to forget the driver was still inside… and filming.

That’s when he reached into the vehicle, grabbed her phone, threw it from her hand, and attempted to pull her out of the car.

There is a lot going on in this video, so let’s break this down…

First… you don’t get to detain people based on how they look. The Fourth Amendment requires individualized, reasonable suspicion. Not “he looked Hispanic.”

Second… a passenger, during a traffic stop, is not automatically required to identify themselves, or hand over ID. Law enforcement needs a lawful basis… like reasonable suspicion that that specific person committed a crime… to demand identification.

Third… even when someone is lawfully detained, they are only required to comply with lawful orders tied to THAT detention. A passenger doesn’t lose constitutional protections just because someone else was pulled over, while driving.

Fourth… the First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement, in public, while they’re doing their job. Knocking a phone away, or throwing it because someone is filming, is violating that constitutional right.

And finally, any use of force… breaking windows, pulling someone out of a car, and restraining them… has to be objectively reasonable under the Fourth Amendment. That requires specific, articulable facts, not assumptions about identity.

This wasn’t a checkpoint.
It wasn’t a border stop.

This was a traffic stop where a PASSENGER became the target because of how he looked.

And if that’s enough to trigger federal agents breaking windows, and violently pulling U.S. citizens out of cars… then every single person should be demanding answers, and accountability.

Because this could’ve ended with another U.S. citizen dead…

And next time, that U.S. citizen could be you.

I was proud to join @JonesForAR in Little Rock to send a message that there is no such thing as a permanently red state, especially when so many people are seeking leaders who will improve everyday life and make Washington more accountable.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.

Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Misophonia is a neurophysiological disorder broadly characterized by two things: a severe aversion to sound and a struggle to convince others of the severity of that aversion. For those who meet the criteria for misophonia—an estimated 4.6 per cent of U.S. adults—tapping, clicking, chewing, smacking, slurping and sniffling trigger intense fight-or-flight responses. It is often diagnosed alongside other conditions, such as anxiety, O.C.D, or A.D.H.D, but it still hasn’t been incorporated into the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems with a formal diagnostic code, leaving people who have the condition uncertain about their treatment.

“What differentiates misophonia from simply being alive is that it’s not just about sound. It’s about how certain brains process that sound,” Sloane Crosley writes. Crosley herself has long suspected that she has some degree of misophonia. She investigates the condition, those who suffer from it, and the experts who study it—from a friend who can’t dine with his father without wanting to “rip his face off” to the founder of Duke University’s Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation: https://t.co/GEHSfYG8ee
