Is there a better word than gubernatorial? Maybe not, but benthic is at least tied.

It's really sad because if we had elected a normal president, the 250th anniversary of our country would have been a really cool celebration of everything that makes this country great.

Instead, we get one miserable, unpopular asshole inserting himself into every little thing and making it about himself.

And it was entirely predictable if you had a pulse the past 10 years. Oh well...

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is the most corrupt words to come out of a Speaker's mouth imaginable. The job of Congress isn't to protect the President and his family. It's to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. You're damn right we will investigate crimes and corruption. Who moved $180 million in oil futures 15 minutes before Iran announcements? Who has gotten sole source contracts because of their connections to the Trump family? Where did our social security data go when DOGE downloaded it into portable hard drives? Where are the rest of the Epstein files? On and on this Congress has chosen covering up crimes instead of stopping them. That ends in November. @WellmanForMO

@neeratanden Very strong "consider the source" with that QT. Dave is a waste of time and space and I have no idea who that Holly person is. But media folks who are still playing sports radio with their assessments now are to be ignored.

I like that the players get to make more money now but I deeply miss when uninformed people never talked about the WNBA. Alas, you cannot have growth in the modern age without the Hellscape of democratized keyboards and microphones that accompany increased attention. 🫠

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

If your movement is so strong, why does it keep needing the Democratic Party’s ballot line, infrastructure, volunteers, donors, and voter file to win?

Apparently your apparatus isn’t strong enough to do it on its own.

Fight to make the Democratic Party better. Push it. Challenge it. But don’t use the Democratic Party as an Uber to get to office and then complain about the ride after you arrive.

If you’re on the team, be on the team.

Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Yeah, that’s illegal. The Post Office can’t refuse to deliver mail to try and get policy concessions.

Housing costs are up.

trump said “No one gives a shit about housing.”

November is coming.

BREAKING: A federal judge has permanently blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order signed last year that required proof of citizenship to register to vote and demanded mail-in ballots be received by Election Day. https://t.co/I78dhdVBvz

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.

Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Focus on building the party you actually support.

Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

More than 100 former judges have filed an ethics complaint against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging he has used the Justice Department to advance Donald Trump’s personal and political interests.

This is not a routine bar complaint.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

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.

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

Lotta people on the left and right platformed this woman-essentially spreading a cultist’s message.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.

Think about that.

At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.

Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient.

He is entitled to his opinions about how they look.

He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.

Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.

Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.

Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.

Governments usually spend money to build things. This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

The fact that she doesn’t know about or celebrate National Military Appreciation Month in May and National Veterans and Military Families Month in November tells us everything we need to know about her grift of outrage farming.

Warned all of y'all. When they started coming after the Jewish community they would come after the Black community too because of our clothes ties of civil rights. All they're doing is spreading AntiSemitism & Anti Black racism.
