This week's episode almost had a very different title.

@DanLamothe Thank you for your loyalty to the public and the First Amendment.

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

Your health care could skyrocket from massive cuts Republicans made in the One Big Ugly Bill to fund billionaire tax giveaways. 

They control Washington and the ball is in their court: show up & negotiate with Dems to lower costs or steamroll America into another Trump Shutdown.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Yes, the stake are large. Very large.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.

Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI

RFK Jr is systematically turning the USA from THE leader in science to an ideologically anti scientific backwater of quackery and pseudoscience

It will take years to come back from it.

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

This man is speaking on behalf of every American with morals and empathy.

Just listen,

You won’t regret it.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I told you that the SCOTUS's ban on national injunctions would supersize Trump's lawlessness.

Well, it's starting.

1/ Let me break some news for you: Trump is stealing money to build facilities like Alligator Alcatraz - from an account earmarked for the OPPOSITE of detention.

I have good reason to believe that somebody knew the copper tariffs were coming and traded the news ahead of time, and made an ungodly amount of profit.

Trump announced his new 50% copper tariff at 12:58 PM yesterday.

But as my charting shows, the price of copper began spiking at 12:56 PM.

It went up a full 8% *before* Trump announced the copper tariffs.

It is nearly impossible for this to have been a coincidence.

Especially on a commodity this large with some massive volumes around the world trading daily.

Somebody knew.

America will die if we do not fight for it.

I will always fight to shine light on the corruption happening so obviously in the country I love.

Somebody front ran the Brazil tariff news.

Somebody bought a HUGE amount of USD and shorted BRL (Brazil’s currency) at 1:32 PM.

The 50% tariff announcement came at 4:19 PM, at which point, it looks like the big trader exited his trade instantly.

Making 2.5% on a currency trade (which are usually 10-20x leveraged) so really 25% to 50% in less than 3hours.

The most openly corrupt administration of all time.

When do we start asking if the massive destruction to the National Weather Service and NOAA is how massive flash floods came out of nowhere in Texas. There are dozens of missing children.

[MaryCallahan (she/her) @MaryCallahanB]

Pathetic and disgusting.

NEW: Sen. Lisa Murkowski stares me down for more than 10 secs after I ask her to respond to Sen. Rand Paul’s critique of the deal she struck to get her to a YES and pass the OBBB.

“Do I like this bill? No. But I tried to take care of Alaska’s interests.”

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Just did some browsing for hotel options in Washington DC for the evening before Trump's big self-honoring birthday parade ... and it looks like nobody is coming.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: In shocking footage of Trump in 2020 that is now going viral, Trump says it’s against the law for a president to call in the National Guard on his own: “We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.” MAGA = 🤡.
