Trump wants his lawyer running the DOJ.

Todd Blanche represented Trump personally.

He helped create Trump's "Anti-Weaponization Fund."

He helped negotiate IRS protections for Trump.

And he wants Dobbs to be permanent nationwide.

That's not an independent AG. That's a fixer.

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.

@thealixlynx We're all grateful that you were a part of that era also!! 🧡🖤

@SethAbramson Just look at how much DOGE costed taxpayers canceling the screwworm prevention program. Tried to save $15M a year, and it costed Texas alone $1.8B in damages, with total costs in the southwest estimated to be as high as $3B

The program only costed $750M to run since the 60s

A new review by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found the Department of Government Efficiency site's claim of $110 billion in taxpayer savings was vastly inflated and unreliable. https://t.co/SlQgGwelaR

I really wish we could just skip to the end of this story—where it's revealed that the DOGE scam actually *cost* America an enormous amount of money (as well as the theft of nearly every American's personal data)

It seems crazy that anyone is still pretending any money was saved

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

A Korean company mysteriously paid Donald Trump $2 MILLION while it was under investigation by his administration.

I’ve got concerns about pay-to-play politics and the potential for bribery.

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: A Republican finally ADMITS what they’ve been denying for months:

Rick Scott: Republicans are going to have to cut your Social Security and Medicare as well as “any program you care about.”

Eat shit.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

This chart is actually insane.

You can literally tell — with the naked eye — where one presidency ends and the next begins.

The contrast in job growth is THAT stark.

Under Biden, payroll employment surged back and continued growing. Under Trump, it is a complete mess.

Yet MAGA will look at a chart like this and somehow insist Trump had the stronger jobs record.

You don’t have to take a Democrat’s word for it.

Just look at the data. Look at the line.

The difference between the two presidencies practically draws itself.

Breaking: GOP Congressman Andy Ogles, who has said gay people have “no place in America” and “Muslims don't belong in American society,” just lost his primary in Tennessee.

He will no longer serve in Congress.

[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.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Excited to hear from Trump and Republicans how this is all Biden’s fault.

[Brian Gaffney @gafftiger]

@TheAlixLynxxo Yes

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Should Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, pay the same amount of taxes into Social Security as a fireman or nurse? Of course not.

The answer isn't complicated. Let's lift the cap and make the wealthiest people in America pay their fair share to strengthen Social Security.

[Acyn @Acyn]

MSNow: President Trump is also pushing so that his family is immune from audits. It looks like it may go forward.

Trump Voter: No. Fuck that. No! How does he get to do that and we don’t?

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

While the U.S. is running low on precision weapons and air defense interceptors, Trump is spending $275 BILLION+ on a "Trump Class Battleship."

More expensive than an aircraft carrier.
Not ready for 8 years.
Built for one man's ego—not tomorrow's wars.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is running out of interceptors as Russia rains missiles on civilians.
We should be investing in the future of warfare, not monuments to narcissism.

Watch:

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

A month ago every Republican politician was falling over themselves to talk about Graham Platner. Today they can't find their voice on Congressman Max Miller — accused of beating his ex-wife, whose 3-year-old had a broken collarbone and says "Daddy's house is scary."

I called them all out on CNN last night 👇

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Congress has two main jobs.

Pass laws that work for the American people, and serve as a check on executive power to protect democracy.

Republicans can't do either. Just ask John Cornyn.
