@StevenSingiser @admcrlsn 100 percent!

You support a man accused of sexual misconduct by over two dozen women, who was found liable for sexual abuse by a jury of his peers, who was caught bragging on tape about sexual assault, and who you accused of causing an insurrection.
So maybe sit this one out, Scott.

@ZeeMatic1 @b_nishanov But Trump’s Executive Order did not make that distinction. It barred children of tourists without regard to the mother’s actual intentions.

@AFMom @jonfavs @MichaelLaRosaDC @CNN @EricaRHill The first sentence gives away that this is groupthink, not good-faith discourse. Washington's desk has drawers on both sides. That was pointed out after the official groupthink take, so it shows that you aren't very attentive to facts; you're just looking to confirm your biases.

[Leon Dayan @LeonDayanDC]

@atrupar Hunter might agree.

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.

You lost everything. He made half a billion.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

It's not just the Lutnick sons cashing in on the Trump family's White House self-dealing.

World Liberty Financial — the crypto venture Don Jr. & Eric launched with Steve Witkoff's sons, Zach & Alex — has netted a fortune for both families (at least $1.1 billion).

I am relieved that Congressman Tom Kean Jr. is well and continue to wish him good health.

But let’s be clear: I got into this race because Tom Kean Jr. was failing our community long before this absence. He was the deciding vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill, which jacked up health care costs for everyone and kicked thousands off of their health insurance in our district. He has consistently failed to stand up for our communities, including when funding for the Gateway project was threatened. And he voted in favor of a reckless war that has made everything more expensive for New Jersey families.

Yet Tom Kean Jr. still somehow found time to trade stocks while missing votes. This is the self-serving culture in Washington that New Jerseyans are rejecting, and the kind of behavior they are sick and tired of from career politicians.

I spent my life serving this country in uniform, and I’m ready to serve our district in Congress. It’s time we hold Tom Kean Jr. accountable for his record and bring a new generation of leadership to Washington.

I have seen a lot of people ask why it's OK to require an ID to get into the Obama Presidential Library, but not to vote.

The problem is that it's not true that you need to show ID to get into the Obama Presidential Library.

Where the confusion arises is that if Illinois residents show their Illinois ID, they can get discounted or free admission.

But MAGA lies and MAGA believes lies, and then MAGA repeats lies.

A note to my friends who still back Trump:

I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.

Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.

And the green water?

A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.

That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.

The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.

Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.

Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.

Prove them wrong.

Zohran’s Knicks parade day speech was THAT good

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

[Maine Democrats @MaineDems]

Days before the anniversary of Roe's overturn, Collins goes on Fox News and lies about her role in it. The vote was 5-4. She confirmed the deciding justice. #mepolitics

[Leon Dayan @LeonDayanDC]

@JPatchHall @mattyglesias Agree. I see him on a different program and he handled it better by joking that it wasn’t one of Trump’s better nicknames. But I suppose if visits to https://t.co/lx09XOBvef spoked, good for him.

Brunson is a throw-back. Old school class and decency.

HISTORY.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

I have a proposal that can gain bipartisan support: abolish the use of "weaponize" and end the career of anyone who uses it again
