THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself.

Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object.

How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

Housing costs are crushing Central Pennsylvanians. .@RepScottPerry was the only member of the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation — Republican or Democrat — to vote no to lower housing costs. That is NOT the kind of representation we can afford.

Was only a matter of time..

We have now lost 16 Americans at the hands of the president’s illegal war and hundreds injured with no end in sight.

He needs to end his war of choice, NOW.

WATCH: Sen. Josh Hawley says Mitch McConnell’s team owes Kentucky voters greater transparency.

With McConnell recovering for more than a month following a fall and hospitalization, Hawley argued that elected officials and their staff have an obligation to keep constituents informed about a senator’s ability to serve.

One arm of the military tests to keep steroids out. Another just ordered testosterone screening for troops 30 and older, so it can hand it out. Same drug. Guidelines advise against screening healthy men, and only about 2 in 100 aging men actually have low T with symptoms.

Save and send to anyone in a military family.

Social Security starts running out of money in 6 years, as Republicans keep spending America into record debt. By the end of this term, Trump will be responsible for 35% of all US debt accumulated across 250 years of US history.

President Trump used to brag about all the money we were making from tariff revenue.

Last month, that trend flipped to a $26 billion loss as the government started paying back the tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal.

The refund bill is just getting started.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche:

"After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General.

"I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors — a marked contrast to his public testimony during his confirmation hearing.

"While quick to point to the failures of previous administrations, he refused to take accountability for mistakes made under his own leadership. Specifically, he would not commit to an inquiry into why my sister Maria Farmer's 1996 report went uninvestigated; he refused to release documents related to internal discussions about charging Epstein that would provide important clarification about previous errors, and his explanations for his nine-hour interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and her subsequent transfer to a less secure facility were wholly dissatisfactory and contrived.

"His evasiveness felt like a deliberate attempt to claim the Attorney General's office is powerless in this matter. By passing the buck once again, he is leaving survivors trapped in the same endless loop of searching for answers and receiving none."

Yeah, Jon, but on the other hand, they aren’t giving them any training

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Senators don't need to know anything more than what they saw yesterday to know Blanche is not fit to be AG. It was a long day of questions, but juxtaposing a few of them, which I've done in this piece, makes that clear. https://t.co/aD7ObvkSoG

Thomas Massie on Trump’s speech to the nation tonight about election fraud:

“We control the House, Senate, White House, and Supreme Court, so I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the elections!”

This is all a distraction from the fact that our elections actually are rigged, but not in the way Trump or even Democrats ever claim.

Our elections are rigged by corporations and billionaires who buy off and bribe both parties to tilt the economy in their favor, creating an unbalanced society that’s rigged for the rich.

Elections under capitalism are a sham, as they don’t produce democracy for the people. They only produce democracy for the rich.

Elections under capitalism are simply a mechanism of control for the ruling class to keep the masses divided and trapped in the very system that’s rigged against us.

[Vaughn Hillyard @VaughnHillyard]

NEW: When asked if there is intelligence to suggest Trump actually won the 2020 election, John Solomon: “Not yet.”

Solomon is the special govt employee brought in by Trump last month to work with acting DNI Pulte to declassify election material.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

It is absolutely astonishing that the deep state manipulated the data when Trump was president to keep him from winning reelection, but then turned around and manipulated it again in 2024 to elect him. The same people who were a part of the deep state in both election years!

@Acyn She would never win on Jeopardy! What a dumb answer. That silly grin says it all.
