🚨 BREAKING: Palantir has received a contract from the Trump Administration to accumulate and centralize data on Americans.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Candidate Trump: "I will end inflation on Day One."

President Trump today: "I love the inflation."

You know who doesn't love inflation, Mr. President? Working families struggling to afford gas, groceries and other necessities because of your disastrous actions.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Judiciary Republicans called a hearing without bringing the facts. We're still waiting for their witnesses to provide all the evidence about alleged fraud and criminality at the Southern Poverty Law Center they are recklessly throwing around.

So far, they’ve shown nothing. Just another political hit job, another waste of time.

Jennifer Welch: “There is credible information in the Epstein Files by a 13-year-old girl, she claims under oath that she was assaulted by the sitting president. All these MAGA Christians, Erika Kirk and her harem of pro-pedophilia women never speak out for victims of sexual assault. They never speak out about crime when it’s one of their own because they believe in nothing other than white men getting power”

Dr. Oz is attempting to lay the foundation for Republicans to gut Medicaid and Medicare again by calling them programs “of great danger” to the American people.

These people have no health care plan other than taking away yours.

The connections in this one interview.

Virginia Giuffre reveals Epstein trafficked her to Andrew. She’s hit by a bus then “commits suicide.”

The interviewer’s mother gets kidnapped and is still being held for ransom.

Release the Epstein files.

Mark this moment.

This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out.

A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party.

He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

Todd Blanche’s central qualification for Attorney General is that he served as Donald Trump’s criminal defense lawyer.

That is the exact reason he should not have the job.

Some will point to Robert F. Kennedy Sr., whom President Kennedy made Attorney General despite being his brother and campaign manager. The comparison fails where it counts. RFK Sr. was unmistakably loyal to his brother, but he had never been his brother’s defense lawyer in criminal cases brought by the very department he would go on to lead.

That is precisely the line Blanche crosses.

He did not advise Trump on policy or run his campaign. He stood between Trump and federal prosecutors in matters of the same kind the Department of Justice pursues every day.

A lawyer owes a former client lasting duties of confidentiality and loyalty on the matters he handled. Those duties do not expire when he changes offices. They mean Blanche carries live professional obligations to Trump that can run directly against the interests of the Department he now heads.

Personal loyalty can be set aside by an honest person.

A binding attorney-client privilege cannot simply be willed away.

The Attorney General does not work for the president. He works for the people of the United States, and his duty is to enforce the law without fear or favor, including when the law points straight at the president or those around him. The office exists so the nation’s top law enforcement officer can say no to the White House. The man who recently defended the president against federal charges cannot be expected to do this.

A president is entitled to a cabinet that shares his agenda. He is not entitled to erase the line between his own legal jeopardy and the interests of the country.

So the question before the Senate is not whether Blanche is loyal to Trump.

The question is whether a man who built much of his career defending Trump in court can turn around and hold Trump accountable under the law, while still bound by the duties he owes a former client.

The burden is on the nominee to prove he can. Blanche has spent his time in office signaling the opposite.

When the Attorney General is seen as the president’s lawyer rather than the nation’s, faith in equal justice breaks entirely. A senator can fully respect the president’s right to choose his cabinet and still refuse to confirm Blanche.

The Senate should wholeheartedly reject this nomination. https://t.co/LHxH0OJZ7i

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Trump just installed Bill Pulte, a guy with ZERO national security experience to run the office that coordinates our entire intelligence community. And his marching orders? Gut it.

Pulte is the same man who, as housing finance director, urged the DOJ to investigate Trump’s political enemies. Now he’s handed the keys to our intelligence apparatus and told to fire anyone considered disloyal.

Trump said it himself. Serving on an acting basis “gives you more power.” He wants Pulte to “shake it up” before a permanent replacement arrives, so nobody has to be saddled with the dirty work. The President is openly describing how to evade accountability.

Then there’s the order to dig into the 2020 election Trump still falsely claims was stolen. Just one problem with that. Our intelligence agencies are legally barred from operating against American citizens. They exist to track foreign threats, not to referee domestic elections, which states run and courts review. The 2020 results were already examined to death through recounts, audits, and dozens of lawsuits, including before Trump’s own judges. There is no intelligence question here. There is only a president trying to weaponize the agencies that keep us safe against a loss he cannot accept. That is how authoritarian states operate, with security services serving the leader instead of the country.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

A few muttered their “dismay” to reporters and went silent. Dismay isn’t oversight.

Wake up!

Make no mistake, Ohio Republicans just forced through a partisan power grab because they know Ohioans aren’t with them. Ohio Democrats will fight back and work to ensure that every eligible Ohioan can exercise their right to vote in November.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Rep. @sydneykamlager: I rise today to sound the alarm about a grave national security threat. Donald Trump's sleeping habits. We cannot trust the White House on matters concerning the president's health because they are denying what Americans are seeing with our own eyes. We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders?

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

Today I visited the Donald J. Trump & Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room in DC.

The sheer scale of this exhibit is staggering, but what you see is only a fraction of the story. Millions of files remain hidden from the public.

Survivors deserve answers and the American people deserve the truth.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 BREAKING: NYT Reporter Glenn Thrush confirms absolute panic inside the White House and FBI over the Epstein files. He exposes a massive conflict between Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.

Thrush reveals Trump is terrified his long-standing ties to Epstein will be fully exposed.

SYKES: Are you aware the US was taking millions of barrels of oil from Iran?

WRIGHT: We are preventing the flow of Iranian oil

SYKES: That is not what I asked you. Can I play some audio?

*plays audio of Trump admitting the US is stealing Iranian oil*

WRIGHT: I think the president is talking casually

SYKES: Do you think that it's appropriate to 'talk casually' about war?

WRIGHT: I think you talk to all different audiences and you talk in all different styles

SYKES: There are 13 service members who are dead

WRIGHT: He treats this war deadly serious

SYKES: You just said he was speaking casually

WRIGHT: He speaks 20 hours a day

Nancy Mace got her butt kicked, and she knows it.

She woke up this morning, brewed that first cup of coffee, and had to type the words herself: "enjoying my 1st cup of coffee after getting my butt kicked in the debate."

Fifth place. Fifth.

South Carolina didn't just say "no." South Carolina said "hell no, and don't let the door hit you on the way to the Waffle House dumpster."

Here's why Nancy Mace landed on my radar in the first place: I watched her sit in a congressional hearing, hold up photos of @HunterBiden at his absolute lowest, and mock him for sport. The cruelty was the point. She wasn't fighting for accountability—she was punching down at a man drowning in addiction.

I took that personally. And I made sure she had my undivided attention ever since.

Now look at her. Fifth place. Humiliated. While Hunter Biden marks seven years clean, shows up with wit and grace, and has become the MAGA whisperer even his former trolls respect.

Karma isn't just real. Karma watches hearings and takes notes.

I'd like to have the grace and self-discipline Hunter has. But honestly? I am relishing your loss, Nancy. Perhaps that's just the Dark Brandon in me.

This is the same Nancy Mace who built her whole personality around being transphobic, who flipped on Trump more times than a beach house mattress only to get dumped by him anyway, and who now has to explain to her donors why she's polling behind "undecided."

South Carolina spoke loud and clear: We don't want your performative outrage. We don't want your cruelty dressed up as conservatism. And we definitely don't want a governor who treats a debate like an episode of Real Housewives of the Capitol.

So here's to you, Nancy. Enjoy that coffee. Enjoy that fifth-place finish. And enjoy that Waffle House dumpster—you earned it.

Q: "Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?"

Trump: "No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation." He then talks about taking Iran's oil.

Inflation just hit its highest level in 3 years.
