@TeamAOC This is disappointing.

It would be a big mistake to signal withdrawal or any less of a commitment at this time of all times…. Truly undermining other initiatives. @FoxNewsOpinion

WSJ editorial page on Trump's billions: "an unseemly display of using the Presidency for family profit. It’s hard to believe the Trump boys would be able to do same deals if Dad wasn’t in Oval Office....Charges of GOP corruption will resound through 2028." https://t.co/6rBFRRYhnc

Watters: Some of these kids have never had real jobs and are complaining things are expensive. Things are expensive when you don't have a real job. Do you think that's getting traction? Complaining?

Leavitt: Unfortunately I do because this generation, my generation, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths.

Watters: Is it laziness?

Leavitt: A little bit.

Watters: If they misbehave, make them join the army.

Leavitt: Send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran.

🚨NEWS: Congressional probe alleges massive fraud in Trump-aligned Freedom 250, alleging Trump allies misled donors, hijacked America’s 250th, and sold access for millions https://t.co/3pmKJiVpnX

@SecretaryWright That seems like a problem.

[b d wildeman @bdwildeman]

@SecretaryWright Of all of the dumb ideas you have enacted, this is among the dumbest.

Dude no one has heard of is thrilled he cancelled renewable energy so we can pay more for overseas energy due to illegal wars.

Can’t make this shit up.

At a Kyiv prom, Yehor walked out alone onto the dance floor. He lifted his right palm into the empty space before him. And for three minutes, pretended his partner Masha was still there.

In the past hour, the Trump admin has deleted their web page that recommended setting thermostats between 75-78 during heat waves, and 85 if you are not home, after the GOP learned that Mayor Mamdani was urging New Yorkers to follow White House guidance.

This is bringing a murder charge even though you have video evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim was dead a week before the defendant is accused of being at the scene of the crime. Unethical. Insane. Wrong.

[Marc Polymeropoulos @Mpolymer]

Brutal from @WSJ Ed Board. “Foreigners may come to think they can buy American goodwill or favors if they cut the Trumps in on the action. Americans, and especially his supporters, deserve better from this or any President.” https://t.co/ROyBfzaLM0

Chris Cuomo (of all people) just effortlessly unmasked Tucker Carlson as a Russian propagandist.

Cuomo: “I'm a journalist. I'm not allowed into Russia. Why are you allowed in?”

Just watch how Tucker squirms.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

I just want to reiterate, once again, that America 250 was a congressionally authorized commission created by President Obama in 2014… the nonsense you see here is purely a product of Trump’s “Freedom 250” ersatz grifter mess.

🚨BREAKING: A new video shows DHS lied, again, about an ICE shooting.

Yesterday, ICE reportedly told police that a man “weaponized” his vehicle by “ramming” into an ICE sedan, forcing an agent to fire his gun during an operation in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Except… that’s not what the video shows.

In the video, an ICE agent rushes the driver’s window with his gun drawn. The agent recklessly waves his gun around, and appears to order the driver to roll down the window.

That’s an extreme use of force from the very beginning.

Another agent approaches the car, and moments later, they violently smash the driver’s window.

And notice how the driver doesn’t try to flee until ICE violently escalates everything.

He drives around the ICE vehicle, makes it into the street… not hitting a single ICE agent, or vehicle.

Then, AFTER the car is already past every agent, and driving away, an ICE agent opens fire.

The law is pretty clear… officers may only use deadly force, against a fleeing person, if they have probable cause to believe that person poses an immediate threat of death, or serious physical injury to the officer, or others.

So, where was the immediate threat?

The car had already passed the agents… and was driving AWAY.

ICE also claimed Lara-Hernandez had a criminal history of assault, and that this was a targeted enforcement operation.

Yet, publicly available court records reportedly do not show any active warrants.

Federal agents don’t get to point guns at people without legal justification. They don’t get to fire at a vehicle after the immediate threat has passed. And they don’t get to lie to police about what happened.

So, when are we going to start holding these agents accountable?

They think they can talk shit nonstop about Dems who beat serious Republican challengers but the Democrats winning the elections that actually matter can’t talk back

Your district is D+40. Go sit at the kid’s table, you babbling mediocrity. The adults are talking

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Trump’s profiteering in office was once unimaginable in a democracy, particularly by a sitting American president. The Trump family’s earnings move him into an echelon of enrichment more associated with strongmen in Russia and Turkey. @jasondhorowitz https://t.co/GXUa2Bx797

@Tendar I love this for them.

Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don't want me to have counsel. They don't want to have anyone represent me…
