"Mr secretary! The floor is hers. You know, there is a chairman. That's me" -- even the Republican committee chair is losing patience with Markwayne Mullin, who is gripping a stress ball as he clearly struggles to control his temper

@JeffreyGoldberg The good news is, when the people take up arms to take back their democracy, they will have the best military minds on their side. Hell, Iran beat Trump. He'll fold like a deck of cards.

Sen. @ewarren: Your job would be to advise Trump on the economy. Is inflation higher today than it was in February 2025?

Nominee: I do not know exactly what the headline inflation was on January 20th, 2025.

Warren: It was 2.8%. Now it's 4.2%. Is 4.2% higher than 2.8%?

Nominee: Yes it is.

Justice Alito’s son works inside Trump’s Treasury. Alito ruled on a case where Treasury was the defendant and didn’t recuse. The WSJ says calling this out is “attacking the Court.” No. Federal law requires recusal when impartiality “might reasonably be questioned.”

A judge ruling on his son’s employer? Question answered. Time for a binding Supreme Court ethics code.

Ken Paxton says he often doesn’t want to be in Texas and prefers spending time in California, where he grew up, instead:

“I like places in California, even though I don’t like to admit that I go to California, but it’s beautiful.”

The most dangerous person in trump administration is a brainy fascist that nobody even heard of, pays attention to or worried about. Russell Vought is killing our democracy. Google him.

Two Utah commissioners lost their jobs over their votes to approve the controversial Kevin O'Leary data center.

The president of the Utah State Senate, who had pushed for the huge data center next to the Great Salt Lake, was also defeated in his primary Tuesday night.

This especially shocking result saw J. Stuart Adams, one of the longest-serving and most powerful politicians in Utah, lose a primary he had easily won multiple times before.

Sen. Warren: "What's the annual wage growth right now? It's just a facts question."

Phelan: "I do not have that in front of me right now."

Warren: "It's 3.4%. So let's put this one together. Is 4.2% higher than 3.4%?"

Phelan: "I will repeat what I said, which is real wage growth in this administration is positive."

Sen. Warren: "Right now families are falling behind...You have now made clear what your position is, and that is you can't even do the basic facts...You can't bring yourself as the person who sits there and says, 'I want to be the head of the Council of Economic Advisors,' and you can't even say, 'Yeah, inflation is running higher than wages right now'...I think this person has disqualified himself in five minutes."

BREAKING: The BBC has turned Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against them into a January 6 trial against Trump

The BBC is arguing that to win his defamation case, Trump has to prove he did not foment or incite the riot.

@Acyn Why would Congress need to bail out the farmers? @realDonaldTrump told us he made a "deal" with #Iran to end his war with Iran "that will deliver a financial windfall to American farmers". @LeaderJohnThune & @SpeakerJohnson was this another @POTUS lie? https://t.co/N0LYsP3WCw

Trump is asking Congress for $11 billion to bail out farmers, and has the audacity to blame Biden for the losses.

Biden did not put a single tariff on the inputs farmers buy. Trump did, and when Trump taxed the world, the world hit back.

Trump’s tariffs closed markets to American farmers and drove up the cost of the equipment, seed, and chemicals they depend on. China retaliated with tariffs on soybeans and much more, and pulled back its purchases of American soybeans. China is the single biggest buyer of American soybeans on earth, and Trump handed that market away.

This is not the first bailout but the latest in a string of them.

This $11 billion adds to the $12 billion already sent to farmers this year. $23 billion and counting, all to patch a wound Trump inflicted himself.

We are now on track for roughly a third of all farm income in 2026 to come from government checks.

Also, nearly 40% of the last bailout flowed to the largest farms while small family operations went under. In 2025 alone, 15,000 farms closed, most of them small.

So when Trump says Biden did this, that is complete and utter nonsense, and everyone knows it.

Trump raised the costs, started the trade war, lost the markets, and is sending you the bill.
