Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

SCOOP: Trump admin is paying millions to quickly cover four enormous bronze horses with extra-thick 23.75 karat gold leaf.

The money for the rush job is coming from National Park Service. In total, I found ~$100 mil spent on new DC beautification projects

Trump is suing the IRS, which he oversees, for $10 billion.

Both sides want to settle to avoid going to court.

Aside from money, one of the settlement terms is to drop all audits of himself and his family.

He’s stealing $10B from taxpayers and covering up his tax crimes.

You get that, right?

The foundation of our democracy is burning to the ground. The conservative Roberts Court did not light the match, but it has repeatedly declared fire hydrants, sprinklers and smoke detectors illegal. https://t.co/Ejx2m6lg8P

President Trump wants the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool painted blue. He used an exemption to steer a $6.9 million contract to somebody he said had worked on his own pools, despite rules about how government money is spent, The New York Times found. https://t.co/34zDxNAIq8

The Mexican government has agreed to end the school year around six weeks early due to their co-hosting of the World Cup and the “extraordinary heat wave” forecast.

Schools were scheduled to break up around July 15, but an official release on Thursday confirmed the Ministry of Public Education and the education ministries had agreed to bring the date forward to June 5, six days before the tournament’s first match.

The start of the next school year was also announced to fall on August 31, after two weeks of “strengthening learning”.

We're celebrating the 165th anniversary of the birth of a true great: Rabindranath Tagore, who was born #onthisday 7 May, in 1861 in Calcutta, India.

The first non-European literature laureate, he was awarded the #NobelPrize "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is shaping US foreign policy while simultaneously soliciting billions from the same foreign governments he's negotiating with.

It's open, naked, brazen corruption.

Kushner will come under oath and testify & accountability will not stop there.
