@Acyn The contrast could not be greater, just in the opposite way he thinks

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump was just mercilessly booed at the Finals game tonight. No surprises here. Americans are sick of Trump’s BS.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HOLY SHIT: Crowds BOOO Trump as he arrives at Madison Square Garden in NYC to see Game 3.

Protesters are holding a huge sign that says "GO KNICKS, F**K TRUMP.”

He’s the most hated president in history!

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.

Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f

@atrupar Everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong with your non-stop sycophancy for Trump. You want to see rigged @SpeakerJohnson? Your home state rigging maps to block Black representation in Congress

[Charles Idelson @cidelson]

@EdWhelanEPPC No mystery at all. Trump is deliberately lying to create a pretext for more voter suppression in the Mid-terms, placing ICE for intimidation at polling places, blocking mail ballots, or using the FBI or his new DNI lapdog to seize ballots in close races

[Charles Idelson @cidelson]

Close them all! Abolish ICE!

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Yesterday, I was notified of the 50th death in ICE custody since Trump returned to office.

This is unprecedented and further proof that ICE and their private, for-profit prison contractors should not be sent another cent of taxpayer dollars. There must be accountability.

An anti-Trump tweet from Knicks star Josh Hart is going viral ahead of Trump attending the NBA Finals.

[The Halfway Post @HalfwayPost]

BREAKING: Knicks fans are reportedly preparing set lists of anti-Trump chants to lead nonstop during his attendance of the game tonight, including "Trump's a pedo," "Impeach Trump now," "Trump for prison," "Inflation's your fault," "End the tariffs," and "New York hates you."

🇵🇪 #ULTIMAHORA. Luego de terminar el 100% del conteo oficial, de las elecciones presidenciales del Perú, el candidato de izquierda Roberto Sánchez, vence a la candidata de la extrema derecha keiko fujimori, por un estrecho margen de 50.14% a 49.86%. Esto nos indica que en Colombia, tambien se puede. 🇨🇴 💪 👍 🎉

@emeriticus Here's what the right win conspiracy fanatics don't explain. If CA with far more registered Dems is "stealing" elections, why shouldn't we assume Idaho, Wyoming, West Virginia, Alabama, the Dakotas, Alabama, etc with more Republicans are also not "stealing elections" for the GOP?

[Charles Idelson @cidelson]

@kenbensinger Shall we also argue that elections in Idaho, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky and West Virginia are rigged because Republicans mostly win there?

[Charles Idelson @cidelson]

@Gianl1974 @ArthurCaplan The inhumanity of this decision characterizes the most immoral Presidential administration since before the Civil War

@HoopsCrave Is Trump not available to perform

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

Pregnant girls as young as 13 are being held in a remote Texas immigration facility while a member of Congress (Rep. Maxine Dexter) says she was blocked from speaking to them. Some of these pregnancies are the result of rape.

This is one of the most horrifying immigration stories right now in the USA.

How many pregnant children are there? Where are these girls coming from? Where are they being sent? Are they getting real prenatal care? Do they have access to proper legal representation? Are newborn babies being ripped out of their mother's arms? Why are members of Congress being blocked from speaking with them?

No agency should be able to hide where vulnerable kids are being sent. We need to free these children and give them healthcare, lawyers, family reunification, and safety.

[Charles Idelson @cidelson]

@Acyn Oh, @POTUS, you think none of them had lawyers? What would you think if they had been Black Lives Matter protesters, would you still be offering them a $1.billion taxpayer gift? How many people assaulted by police every day would you offer a huge taxpayer payment?

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Charles Idelson @cidelson]

Good for @kwelkernbc for pushing @potus to cite actual evidence for his fantasies and lies. Reminder, of some 60 Trump lawsuits in 2020 claiming fraud, he won exactly one minor case. Why is Trump pressing it now? To justify his own efforts to rig the 2026 Mid-terms

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged

"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."

"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

[Charles Idelson @cidelson]

@jordanzakarin For all the Trump whining about the Times, they’re still the paper of the corporate establishment

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Scalia died in February 2016. It took Obama a full month to nominate a replacement and then he used no leverage and barely lifted a finger for Garland; the party was more focused in the moment at making sure everyone understood how racist and sexist Bernie Sanders was.

Plenty of Obama aides were actually glad when Dems lost the senate in 2014 because they were sick of Harry Reid pushing Obama to be more assertive and fight more.

They lost the Senate in 2014 largely because of Obama’s capitulation to/obsession with austerity and reducing the deficit.

He constantly insisted he had no real power — Neera will probably respond by saying he had no power — which Trump has proved totally wrong.

And when RBG died in September 2020 Trump nominated ACB the next week. They play to win.

But sure, a 5 minute segment from @chrislhayes would’ve made the difference. (And I’m sure he did do a bunch actually.)
