Trump: "[Graham Platner] is like a pig…He's worse than any human being that's ever run for office."

Trump: "Grab them by the pussy…I did try to fuck her. She was married."

The fact that Elon Musk’s father is actively carrying water for the Kremlin in Moscow is a national security blind spot for the United States and its allies.

Errol Musk is a heavily compromised liability, and his relationship with Russia leaves the West exposed to unprecedented blackmail and espionage risks.

Errol Musk has returned to Russia to praise the regime and enjoy his life on the Kremlin's terms. Given his dark history of abuse and scandals, Russian handlers have likely collected an arsenal of kompromat on him. The FSB does not hand out luxury treatment to foreign elites for free, since they expect a return on their investment, and Errol’s value lies entirely on who his son is (no matter if they are close or not).

This arrangement poses a direct threat to Western security. Elon Musk is a vital contractor for the US military, holding immense power over critical capabilities. He is also a volatile figure who frequently acts on impulse and exhibits highly questionable ideological stances. If Moscow decides to tighten the screws on Elon by exploiting his father, no one knows what will happen, making this entire situation deeply troubling. The US should never have put itself in this situation

Here is John Sipher methodically laying out why not only Bill Pulte is a dangerous choice to succeed Tulsi Gabbard, but really why the whole US IC is in extreme peril.

“An annual event put on by members of Congress to honor fallen servicewomen was canceled this year after the Navy, Air Force and Space Force bowed out, citing Pentagon and White House policies on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.”

Denver asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to hit pause on a $14 million payout to 12 protesters injured by police during the 2020 George Floyd protests. @KelseyReichmann https://t.co/a4CsrkWr7Y

You let the angry elderly guy live in your house for free and the fucker totally trashes it.

“The Palm Beach County Fire Department alone stands to lose just under $200 million in funding under the proposed tax structure, Abruzzo said. The cuts would affect virtually every county service, including parks, libraries, roads and other essential operations.”

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

AI has no business denying doctor-recommended procedures.

I am leading the Democratic effort to shut down WISeR—Trump's backdoor scheme to privatize Medicare.

We need to end AI prior authorization NOW.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

New reports reveal the Trump admin has ordered the Postal Service to stop delivering mail-in ballots to states that do not hand over sensitive voter lists to the government.

[Quincy Institute @QuincyInst]

Section 224 has gotten attention. Section 622 hasn't, but it should.

Buried in the 192-page Senate intelligence authorization bill is a provision that would require US intelligence agencies to share classified intelligence on virtually every topic of Middle East interest with Israel.

Any pause or reduction would require congressional approval from a Congress that has shown little appetite for restricting Israel.

This is the same strategy as Section 224: take what used to be a public, congressionally appropriated relationship — one the public could pressure lawmakers to restrict — and move it somewhere less visible, less accountable, and harder to reverse.

Despite Director Lyons denying it in a hearing today, a letter sent in April shows that ICE actually maintains a database of protesters or a "separate, standalone database" of individuals who were encountered but not arrested or detained. https://t.co/w8PuEzUDGv

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.

Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

@jamieclimate One more thing on Paul Singer: he was the sponsor of the Alito Alaska fishing trip; part of the Billionaire Gifts Program.

Back when Energy Secretary Chris Wright was a fracking CEO, he was involved in a massive and ongoing effort to "educate" federal judges about the need to protect the fossil fuel industry from climate damages. https://t.co/nUO23NkRVJ

Hey, same clan from TPUSA weekend in Texas is headed to #Illinois to push for Christianizing schools.
Heather Lloyd, TPUSA education expert, is married to Alex Lloyd, who in 2022 pled guilty to possessing child porn. Please share with Illinois friends. https://t.co/8kW0y6pa5r

[Elizabeth Goitein @LizaGoitein]

It is now crystal clear who is obstructing reauthorization. Cornyn & other reform opponents would rather see Sec. 702 expire than allow reforms to protect Americans’ privacy. Sen. Wyden offered an easy path forward for renewing the law. Reform opponents would prefer sunset. 2/2

[Elizabeth Goitein @LizaGoitein]

Senator Cornyn just blocked a 9-month extension of Section 702 with a warrant requirement for backdoor searches. He then blocked a 5-week extension with no warrant requirement, just basic transparency measures. 1/2

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

NEW EPISODE: Trump and his administration are quietly building a national list of approved voters — and if your name isn't on it, you may not be able to vote by mail or at all in 2026. https://t.co/cGDQWSJeTx

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

NEW: Election denier Tina Peters — who was convicted for her role in a 2021 voting system breach — accused Democrats of stealing elections and falsely claimed voting machines are being used to change election outcomes.

The comments come less than two weeks after her release from a Colorado prison. https://t.co/rawL1yGu5h
