Trump said he demanded unconditional surrender, we just didn’t know he meant America’s.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Every president needs advisors who can give them candid advice.

When you start to think you have all the answers, that’s how you end up paying $300 billion dollars and siding with Hezbollah to end a war you started.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It feels like this is turning out like most "deals" Trump does. Nothing they announce actually ends up existing in reality.

Not believing in science really comes back to bite you, doesn’t it?

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

Just sat down with this piece and…whew.

“Inside the White House, Mr. Miller, the influential deputy chief of staff, saw an opening for an idea he had raised previously: What if Mr. Trump simply claimed the power to suspend habeas corpus?

Then the locked-up immigrants would be blocked from receiving hearings or even from seeking court orders to prevent their removal from the country. This was an opportunity for Mr. Trump not only to speed up deportations, but also to assert vastly expanded power over a legal system that was getting in his way.”

Dear @SecWar Pete Hegseth,

I am really glad all this is on video because otherwise no one would ever believe you are this stupid.

Trump supporters are hoping against all odds that the MOU will not be terrible.

But even without the MOU, here are the realities: America lost, and Iran is now more politically powerful than four months ago.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is how you capture the press. You let the friendly billionaire buy it, and you clear the path.

Here’s what just happened:

Career DOJ antitrust lawyers spent months investigating Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. They were leaning toward challenging it as anticompetitive. Then leadership shut it down before staff could even file their recommendation.

Paramount is run by David Ellison, son of Trump ally Larry Ellison. And Warner Bros owns CNN.

Ellison told Trump officials he would make sweeping changes to CNN. He already installed Bari Weiss atop CBS News, and she is expected to help oversee CNN. As Pete Hegseth said out loud, “the sooner David Ellison takes over that network the better.”

So connect the dots.

A regulator overrides its own experts to greenlight a deal.

The deal hands a Trump ally control of a major newsroom. And the administration barely hides its enthusiasm for what comes next.

Wow.

Confirmed that we’re going to give Iran $300 BILLION.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Of course, I am happy that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open. That's a good outcome for the entire global economy.

But the Strait was opened before the war. We did not need a war to keep it open.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights.

It’s called habeas corpus.

Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old.

It’s older than America itself.

And Miller tried to kill it.

New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.”

Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway.
Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it?

The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone.

I will fight this with everything I have.

The Constitution is not optional.

Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone.

How much veterans’ healthcare would $300 billion we’re about to give to Iran provide?

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Obscene. The People’s House has become a clown show.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn.

Probably just a coincidence.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

They cut healthcare and food assistance for tens of millions of Americans, and then gave us this instead.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

This is not a joke.

This is actually the reflecting Pool in Washington DC today.

Donald Trump wasted $10 million of our money on this.

No wonder why he bankrupted multiple casinos.

It's like a science experiment for people who don't believe in science

[Johanna Nyman @JohannaNyman5]

It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.
