I was once groped by Tigger. I have a photogenic memory.

a buddy just reached out that his 6-yr-old kid got sent to the principal’s office today. Reason: While the teacher was busy disciplining another student, Jane Doe began leading the rest of the classroom in chanting:
“We can do whatever we want.
We can do whatever we want!”

Simon Andriesz, the whistleblower who exposed links between Epstein & Howard Lutnick, died by suicide.

He was a former senior employee of BGC Partners - a firm founded & run by Lutnick before his appointment by Trump.

British MPs want an investigation.

Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young.

The truth about Lutnick will never die

My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be!

For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself.

We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The folks who want flock cameras in your neighborhood, the folks who wanna read your emails without a warrant, the folks who say, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, why do you wanna hide it?” have withheld 3 million Epstein files and redacted the rest.

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

I thank @SecArmy Dan Driscoll for his leadership to our Army and service to our country. Dan was the right man at the right moment to lead our Soldiers and Army civilians.

Our understanding and assumptions of warfare are being challenged in places like Ukraine and Iran, and Dan understands the old way of doing business no longer applies. He and General George began a transformative period of innovation in how we array our forces and equip our Soldiers. He challenged our legacy approach to manning and procurement. Most of all, he cared deeply about the men and women in our Army formations and quickly earned their respect.

If we had a @SecWar who maintained the same priorities and forward-thinking, he would be fighting to retain talented leaders like Dan and the many flag officers he has forced into retirement. Instead, he is creating a leadership void at the top of our military ranks.

I served on Senate Armed Services for 8 years and as chair or ranking member of the Personnel and Readiness subcommittee. I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country. He is intimidated by competence and retreats to ginning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense and the health and well-being of our fighting force.

I urge the President to find a new leader at the Pentagon who will retain and empower our military talent rather than diminish it.

Yeahhhh…this better be in Demcoratic candidate ads like yesterday. Especially in Texas, Nevada etc.

He doesn’t understand you and he doesn’t want to. His billionaire friends need data centers, and the GOP thinks your backyard belongs to them.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

I'm sorry, I can't get over this. The most powerful person on earth is using the full force of government to jail a 67-year-old over an error his *own administration* oversaw. It is the epitome of government "weaponization." Mind-blowing hypocrisy. It's unconscionable.

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

May I ask you a question, my friends -- my Republican friends, in particular? What kind of man inscribes his name on another man's memorial? Really, what manner of man?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

People always ask me where the tan suit came from. I think it’s time the truth finally came out.

Tune in to the series finale of Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness on @HBOMax.

The Free Press wants you to know that the surveillance state is actually a great thing because the government is doing it for your own good!

(It’s hard to believe this video isn’t satire.)

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

I’m sorry if you’re a Republican and don’t want to hear this but the National Debt is $3.6 Trillion higher than when Trump took office 18 months ago. Here’s the 90 second speech I gave the night they passed the Big Bankruptcy Bill.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.

[Amanda Carpenter @amandacarpenter]

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has over the past year been snapping up America’s means of production — the literal definition of communism — even as he makes a habit of labeling virtually all of his critics and political opponents “communists.”

Since retaking office in January 2025, Trump’s executive branch has acquired stock or other ownership interest in dozens of U.S. companies, from $400 million in mining company MP Materials to $1 billion in defense contractor L3Harris/Missile Solutions to $8.9 billion in Intel, making the government the chipmaker’s third-largest shareholder. In all, according to a recent Cato Institute analysis, the U.S. government is now part-owner of 30 companies, with no end to the practice in sight.

The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

Are we supposed to be fine w IRS audit immunity for the Trump family?

This is an obscene protection racket.

We learned yesterday Capital One shutdown Trump accounts for money laundering in 2021!!

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Congress is not serious.

We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…

BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.

Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,

but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

This is communism by the way.
