A US citizen gets arrested by ICE, saved by an OKC local cop: "They're just picking and choosing only people in yellow shirts." We don't have a racial or demographic hierarchy in my America. We will restore "law & order" when this regime ends.

Bank accounts held by President Donald Trump were closed by Capital One in 2021 after it flagged financial activity that had characteristics of money laundering, the bank disclosed in a court filing over the weekend. https://t.co/OOpJQ4qwMF

Sen. Booker: “Dear God, folks. It's not like we're talking about a president who is a saint. No president in the history of this country has been caught in tax cheating more than this one...We have a known arsonist, and we have just in this committee given him a whole barrel full of gasoline to light on fire our tax laws and have no accountability for the conflagration.”

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

This warning from @PDSebastian is wise.

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander. If the North Carolina legislature decides to give the state's Chief Justice the wide-ranging power to remove lower court judges just because he's a Republican today, be prepared for a Democrat to equally exercise those powers in 2029.

Measles cases are surging, the CDC has 25% less staff, and we just had our first two cyclospora deaths. Whooping cough is back!

But sure, let's argue about whether "the science" is trustworthy instead of asking why his own agency is failing on basic public health.

Sen. Kennedy says Trump likes daily strikes on Iran: ‘Sometimes you have to kill a few chickens to scare the monkeys’

Dear @USAmbUN Mike Waltz: You lie.

-US provided zero THAAD missiles to Ukraine.

-US provided far less Patriots to Ukraine than the massive amount used in less than 5 months of the Iran war.

Stop falsely blaming others and take responsibility for the disastrous Iran war.

He claims the Fed is borrowing money from banks at 5.4% interest, then pouring it into government bonds, creating the illusion that the government’s financial situation is better than it actually is.

He warns that this scheme isn’t just limited to the U.S.—it’s happening across central banks worldwide.

Question: do you know who your representatives are in the North Carolina state legislature?

Most people - almost 80%, in fact - don't. That's why we created a source where anyone can find basic information about how our state legislature works - what the districts look like, who represents you and your community, and why it matters.

Remember - knowledge is power. Make sure you're equipped: https://t.co/tyYmHuQUOM

X: When US forces struck Caracas and seized Nicolás Maduro in January of this year, many had hoped that the opposition leader, María Corina Machado, would steer the country through a democratic transition. Why has that not happened? My conversation with @MariaCorinaYA:

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The U.S. has been significantly weakened by the war with Iran.

This administration depleted our missile defenses, drained our oil reserves, sacrificed our men & women, inflated the price of consumer goods, increased our debt, and neglected our domestic needs…

all for Israel.

HOMAN: I wouldn't say that mistakes were made. We'll see.

BASH: Well, we've seen with our own eyes that mistakes were made. Deadly mistakes were made. At least 5 of them.

"I don't think he cares about gas prices. I think he cares about legacy, and he wants to see himself as a man who remade the Middle East," David Brooks says."MAGA came into office saying we will have no more forever wars. Well, here we are." https://t.co/P1MatN8UTp

Jesus.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

He told a sex joke and several fat jokes. He called Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California) “Watermelon head.” He went on long tangents.

President Trump’s speech at the White House correspondents’ dinner swerved between jokes that fell flat and flat-out insults. https://t.co/he9YjOLRde

"That's almost word for word what they told us when we were sold the war in Iraq. Remember 2003?" -- another Pete Buttigieg masterclass on Fox News. There is no Democrat better at communicating to that audience.
