🎙️Travis Kelce in a recent post-wedding interview, reflecting on finally marrying Taylor Swift:
"It’s funny looking back on it now because when I came up with the friendship bracelet idea at her Kansas City show, my friends were telling me not to do it. They kept saying, 'She’s the biggest star in the world, you’re just setting yourself up to get rejected.' And when I couldn't even get backstage to give it to her, I honestly thought I'd blown my only chance."
"But I've never been the type to give up over one setback. I joked about it on the podcast and just let life take its course. Now here I am, standing beside the woman I love as my wife. If I'd let that one rejection stop me, none of this would've happened. Sometimes you've just got to take your shot and trust the timing."
One year ago today, Trump signed his and Republicans’ big, ugly bill.
Since then, millions have lost healthcare and food stamps — but the super-rich and corporations are doing better than ever.
On America's 250th birthday, we need a declaration of election independence.
Californians will use every power, every lawyer, every law, and every ounce of will to defend our democracy against any illegal order this president dares to issue.
This is a government of the people.
Happy 4th to President Trump, who can effectively pursue his new anti-Communist campaign by not sending any more love letters to Kim Jong Un, the “top of the line” Communist dictator of North Korea with whom he has “great chemistry”; not lavishing praise on President Xi, the “top of the line, brilliant” Communist dictator of China; and not serving dictator Vladimir Putin, former head of the KGB, by calling him “very smart” and his bloody imperialist moves against Ukraine “genius,” and by bolstering Putin’s campaign against our democratic allies in NATO. Anticommunism is easy, Mr. President, when you start defending human rights and stop fawning over Communist tyrants! https://t.co/3TtF9bFrZc
Donald Trump: «Ogni volta che i miei figli investono in azioni, qualsiasi cosa facciano, hanno informazioni privilegiate».
Più che il 250esimo anniversario degli Stati Uniti, la famiglia Trump festeggia le migliori operazioni di insider trading della loro vita.
Phang: Blanche maintains that FOIA was my only and remains my only option. And then he has the balls to say the following. He says that my lawsuit "threatens the interdependence and the reciprocity between Congress and the executive branch." You know, folks, last I checked, I don't see a lot of interdependence or reciprocity between Congress and the executive branch.
What I have seen, I've seen people like Todd Blanche, Pammy Jo with the bad hair, Kash Patel, Susie Wiles, JD Vance, and others, assembling repeatedly in the Situation Room at the White House with Todd Blanche quarterbacking strategy on how to avoid turning over the Epstein files to the American people.
Does that sound like interdependence or reciprocity?
RFK Jr. looked me dead in the eye and lied. He said, "there are no cuts to Medicaid."
Now we have receipts: 3.8 million people lost Medicaid or CHIP.
All to pay for tax cuts for billionaire donors.
Kyle Kulinski: “We allow billionaire elites to rape children, we don’t allow putting your hand in the reflecting pool water. We allow war crime after war crime to be committed by Israel, to be committed by Pete Kegsbreath Secretary of War Crimes, we don’t allow Don Lemon to do his job as a reporter. This is where we are in this country”
Bruce Springsteen says that while the United States is currently in "a very dangerous moment," the nation has faced other turbulent times.
"I think we're going through a very, very difficult period," he told Geoff Bennett (@GeoffRBennett). "But I tend to remain realistically optimistic that the country will pull out of it, and something new will be born from it that is good."
"Bruce Springsteen: Finding America in Song" is a PBS News special exploring @Springsteen’s extraordinary career, his lasting impact on American music, and the opening of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music at Monmouth University.

1 year ago today, Trump signed his One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law.
It includes $1,000,000,000,000 in tax cuts for the top 1%, while slashing SNAP and Medicaid budget by $1,100,000,000,000.
Cooper: I've seen governments and dictators rise and fall, people and places torn apart by lies and hate and war. And I've seen people do things and heard them say things that I could never have imagined. I've seen what we humans are capable of when everything else is stripped away. Yes, great acts of barbarism and brutality. But we are also capable of remarkable acts of heroism and kindness. It's a choice, and the choice is up to us
Let's hope 50 years from now, someone standing here or somewhere on the eve of the 300th anniversary of this republic will look back and say of us: they didn’t know if they would make it through but they did.
Kash Patel and the FBI have re-routed agents to investigate Trump's political critics... and to support probes that bolster Trump's election lies
Former FBI agent Dan Brunner warns.... this is going to massively damage morale among rank-and-file agents who protect US communites
Rep. @Justinjpearson (TN-9 candidate): “If it’s us vs. the billionaire class profiting off our pain, my bet is on people power every time- If the Republican Party is the party licking the boot of the billionaires, let us be the party of the working class.”
Today is an excellent day to support pro-democracy media that opposes aspiring tyrants and holds them to account. You can start with Democracy Docket. https://t.co/99sX9k2DLV
