🚨DAMNING: Trump was confronted with his own quote, “I don't think about Americans’ financial situation,” and instead of walking it back… he DOUBLED DOWN.

“I’d make it again.”

Then, he defended skyrocketing costs and Americans struggling as “short-term pain.”

People can barely afford groceries, gas, rent, or healthcare, and this billionaire is openly admitting your financial suffering is “not even a little bit” on his mind. SHAMEFUL!

There is literally not one person alive in the entire Republican Party who measures up to either of these two people.

BREAKING: Trump STORMS OUT of Supreme Court after his own Justices tear apart his birthright citizenship case. What a loser.

Donald Trump showed up to the Supreme Court on Wednesday to intimidate nine justices into stripping citizenship from 200,000 American-born babies a year. He left humiliated, with his motorcade speeding away down Independence Avenue before the other side had even finished arguing.

Trump made the unprecedented decision to personally attend oral arguments in his birthright citizenship case — the first sitting president in American history to do so. He was escorted in ten minutes early and seated in the front row, presumably to send a message. The message the justices sent back wasn’t exactly what the adamantly anti-immigrant crusader had in mind.

Within 90 minutes, multiple members of the court's own conservative supermajority — justices Trump either appointed or championed — were openly dismantling his administration's arguments.

Chief Justice John Roberts called a key part of the government's position "quirky." Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Amy Coney Barrett both signaled serious skepticism. And when Trump's solicitor general, D. John Sauer, tried to argue that modern realities like "birth tourism" justified rewriting 157 years of constitutional interpretation, Roberts delivered the most perfectly devastating response of the entire term: "Well, it's a new world. It's the same Constitution."

Trump didn't wait around to hear more. His motorcade was spotted zipping away from the Supreme Court at 11:25 a.m., while the challengers' lawyer was still being questioned. The man who came to project dominance fled before the other team even got to speak.

Here's what was actually at stake in that courtroom. Trump's executive order — signed on day one of his return to power — would eliminate automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders.

It has never gone into effect, blocked by courts from the moment it was signed. If ultimately upheld, it would strip citizenship from approximately 200,000 babies born every year. By 2050, according to a new study, it would create 6.4 million U.S.-born children with no legal status — stateless in the only country they have ever known. It would disproportionately affect Hispanic and Asian families. It would even potentially leave abandoned infants with no citizenship anywhere on earth.

All of this to undo the 14th Amendment — ratified in 1868 specifically to guarantee that America would never again create a permanent underclass of people born on its soil with no claim to its protections.

The Constitution has answered this question for 157 years. On Wednesday, even Trump's own justices seemed to know it. While we’ll have to wait for an official ruling to see what the Justices ultimately decide in this particular challenge, Trump’s hasty retreat from the Court proceedings presages what the expected decision will be — and it’s not what the Racist-in-Chief was intimidating the Justices for.

Trump came to the Supreme Court to make history. He made it — just not the kind he was hoping for.

@bristei If networks drift into partisan framing it’s only going to accelerate their decline.

People tune in for facts and new information. If it starts to feel like messaging instead of reporting, audiences will keep walking away.

The Songbird of Chicago, Jennifer Hudson, brought the crowd to their feet performing “A Change is Gonna Come” at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Celebration of Life service. Just angelic! 🎶

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

[𝔗𝔯𝔲𝔱𝔥 𝔐𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰 @politicsusa46]

The late Rev Jesse Jackson was looking down today with a deep sense of pride as Barack Obama chose his funeral to unload on what had been a long time coming. This was some both barrels rhetoric right here.

Can we put the brakes of this tyranny in November? YES WE CAN, AND WE WILL.

Bill Clinton just DESTROYED the Republican witch hunt in his Epstein deposition — and made Donald Trump look absolutely pathetic by comparison!

BREAKING: While Republicans tried to turn the Jeffrey Epstein tragedy into another cheap partisan circus, President Bill Clinton showed up, raised his right hand under oath, and told the truth straight to their faces. No dodging, no whining, no hiding behind endless delays like a certain orange ex-president we all know.

Right from the start, Clinton laid it out like a real leader: "America is built on the idea that no one is above the law — even Presidents, ESPECIALLY Presidents." BOOM! That's the kind of accountability today's MAGA Republicans can't stand, because their whole game is "rules for thee but not for me."

He centered the REAL victims — the girls and women Jeffrey Epstein horrifically abused — and demanded justice and healing for them, not more political point-scoring. Republicans? They've been treating this nightmare like a piñata to whack for clicks and Fox News soundbites.

Clinton didn't mince words about the GOP's shameful tactics: They dragged Hillary Clinton in for SIX HOURS of nonsense, even though she had ZERO connection to Epstein — never met him, never flew with him, never visited his islands. Clinton called it what it was: pure spectacle, not fact-finding. "Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her was simply not right." Mic drop!

Then came the line Republicans are already melting down over: "I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong." He backed it up with facts — he knew NOTHING about Epstein's crimes, cut ties years before the monster's 2008 plea deal came to light, and said if he'd ever suspected anything, he would've "turned him in myself" and fought for justice.

Even with perfect hindsight, Clinton said he saw zero red flags because Epstein hid his evil so well from EVERYONE. That's not evasion — that's honesty.

Contrast this with Donald Trump, who Epstein himself called his "closest friend" for years, who wished Ghislaine Maxwell "well" after her arrest, and who STILL refuses to testify or release the full Epstein files he promised to declassify. Trump hides, deflects, and rages on Truth Social while Clinton steps up like an adult.

Bill Clinton just exposed the GOP's hypocrisy in real time: They weaponize victims' pain for political attacks on Democrats but go radio silent when it comes to holding Trump accountable.

This isn't about "gotchas." It's about truth, justice, and putting survivors FIRST — something Republicans clearly forgot how to do.

SHARE if you're proud of President Clinton for showing up, telling the truth, and reminding everyone what real leadership looks like!

BREAKING: Nielsen hits Trump where it hurts by revealing that a staggering 12% fewer people watched his State of the Union Address this year — despite it being the longest in history.

And it gets even worse for the ratings-obsessed MAGA leader...

According to the preliminary from the audience measurement firm, that 12% decrease was experienced across the seven most-watched networks of ABC, CBS, CNN, MS Now, NBC, Fox News, and Fox broadcast.

Trump managed to draw 27.8 million viewers for his lie-riddled, rambling, boring 108-minute-long speech, down from 31.45 million viewers for his joint speech to Congress last year. Not surprisingly, he pulled in his most viewers on the Fox News Channel with 9.1 million viewers.

These numbers are certain to enrage Trump and it seems likely that'll he'll unleash a Truth Social rant attacking the data as "fake news" once the final numbers are released later this week.

But this decrease is hardly surprising. Trump is a deeply unpopular president, with a recent Washington Post poll revealing that 60% of Americans disapprove of him. He has destroyed the economy, sent masked thugs into our streets to murder innocent people, destroyed our relationships with close allies, and continues to cover up the Epstein scandal because he's likely a pedophile himself. We have never had a worse leader.

Please ❤️ and share if you disapprove of Trump!

Lonesome Dove might be the best limited series ever made. Robert Duvall & Tommy Lee Jones are historically great in this series. This aired in 1989 but still holds up so well- it’s a timeless Western epic. Duvall is right in the middle of his prime here. One of the best ever.

Bad Bunny's full message to ICE and all republicans during his Grammys speech is SO important:

"We're not savage. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans. Also, I want to say to the people...I know it's tough not to hate on these days, and I was thinking sometimes we get contaminamos. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that's more powerful than hate is love, so, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. If we don't hate them, we love our people, and we love our family. And that's the way to do it, with love."

🚨 BREAKING: Minnesota just sued Kristi Noem’s DHS over the Alex Pretti shooting, and it’s a constitutional gut-punch.

Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension + the Hennepin County Attorney say federal agencies blocked the state from the scene, took control of evidence + witnesses, and then refused to turn anything over so Minnesota could run its own criminal investigation.

And here’s the part that should set off every alarm in the country:

The complaint alleges DHS didn’t just lock Minnesota out… They allegedly let the scene collapse while evidence was still at risk.

Minnesota is arguing:
You don’t get to investigate yourself in secret after someone dies.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE.

He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him.

Don’t let them.
