John Feeley, the former US ambassador to Panama, describes the first meeting with Trump that ultimately led him to resign.

Everyone (in politics) needs to be aware of this. That's what it boils down to.

[GBC @GBC_Press]

🚨 BREAKING:

20 U.S. generals have resigned after rejecting Trump’s orders.

America is falling apart.

[Amanda Carpenter @amandacarpenter]

Three things.

1) Trump got us into a needless war of choice with Iran.

2) Trump wants to increase the defense budget to $1.5 trillion. With a T. TRILLION.

3) Trump's sons are getting rich off all this with shady contracts. Their firms are raking in BILLIONS.

This is insane. No one asked for this.

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

Trump Socialists have seized ownership stakes in 30 companies. And yes. This is one of many precedents a future left-wing leader could use to justify a government takeover of private companies. The threat of socialism is real, and it’s coming from inside the Trump White House.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Guren "Bobby" Zhou, a foreign national who oversaw failed flooring and crypto businesses & had been investigated for money laundering somehow put $100m into the Trump family crypto. Nobody knows where the money is from. ONE HUNDRED MILLION.

.@Timodc offers Democrats advice on how to campaign against this war.

"The Republicans handed you one on a platter right here, so take it. They started the stupidest war imaginable, so be 100% against it."

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Agree with @Timodc—great ad.

[Documenting Saylor @saylordocs]

Richard Nixon's brutal truth on happiness that hits harder in 2026:

"The unhappiest people in the world are those in the watering places—south coast of France, Newport, Palm Springs, Palm Beach—parties every night, golf every afternoon, bridge, too much drinking, too much talking, too little thinking. Retired, no purpose."

He saw it decades ago: Endless leisure without struggle isn't paradise—it's a slow death of meaning.

"What makes life mean something is purpose, a goal, the battle, the struggle—even if you don't win it."

In an age of quiet quitting, early retirement dreams, and infinite scrolling... Nixon reminds us: The fight is what keeps the soul alive.

What keeps you in the "battle" right now—even when it's exhausting?

Trump and the GOP have now made Iran a world power and America will be paying for it for generations to come.

[Reggie B. @reggiebblue]

Hillary Clinton: "I had meetings in some of Saddam Hussein's palaces. It is reminiscent of what we are seeing at the WH. It's insane. It's sad, it's so tackied up. It's a reflection of his narcissistic personality. This is a man whose mind goes to where can I add gold instead of how can I get out of Iran without looking like the loser that I am."

[Acyn @Acyn]

McGowan: They spent years demonizing Hunter Biden… And then we're watching, like you said, 23 deals last year, 16 deals this year that the Trump brothers are getting, that they were in businesses they never had. They're buying tungsten mines and AI and drones and all the things that their dad actually makes decisions on.

[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.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

This is all so sickening.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

BREAKING: Retired Republican County Judge Glen Whitley endorses James Talarico for US Senate:

“I’m ashamed that Ken Paxton is even on the ballot. He’s the most corrupt politician Texas has ever seen.”

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves.

The Powell memo outlined a strategy. Unite corporate special interests, privilege corporate perspectives in the media, appoint sympathetic judges to the court, and buy politicians in both political parties.

And it worked. Republicans and some Democrats sold the false gospel of trickle-down economics. Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft.

Since the late 1970s, mega donors and corporate special interests have been buying politicians in both political parties. And then those politicians turned around and rigged the economy to benefit their wealthy donors at our expense.

We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

The Trump administration keeps lying to us about the end of the Iran War.

And yet the Strait of Hormuz is closed and our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since 1983.

The president doesn’t care.

He dropped bunker buster bombs in June 2025 and declared the nuclear threat eliminated.

We really don’t know what he’s doing. Congress isn’t pushing to find out.

Nobody is demanding answers.

But by next Monday morning someone will be on television saying we won the war again — because he’ll be tweeting about how successful he was with these non-negotiations.

Same bullsh*t, new day.

[Peter Mallouk @PeterMallouk]

Absolutely insane stat: The U.S. has added $450 billion to the national debt since July 1. That’s over $15 billion a day.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson on Senator Jon Ossoff: You talk to farmers in South Georgia, they can get him on the phone. They can get his staff on the phone. They can get help. You talk to Republicans in Houston County, very Republican part of the state, they know they can reach out to Ossoff, and he doesn't care that they're Republican. If they need something, he's going to get it done.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: I've passed 60 bipartisan bills through the Texas legislature. These are not nibble-around-the-edges incremental bills.

I passed the largest early childhood education bill in our state's history. I passed the first ever cap on insulin co-pays in our state. I passed a major reform to our justice system allowing incarcerated minors to earn a high school diploma. These are major bills that are making a real impact on Texans.

I have no problem going toe to toe when I need to. But then the next day we may find a piece of common ground that we can actually get something done on.

We're told that it's a choice between people who fight and people who get things done. I think the people of Texas deserve a senator who can do both — and I've shown in the statehouse that I can do both.
