NASHVILLE— REP. @brotherjones_: “I was a professor here, teaching environmental racism. @Fisk1866 U President (Dr. Clark) asked me if it would conflict with plans to build a data center on campus. I started teaching about dangers of A.I… my class was canceled within a week.”🤔

Chris Wright crashes out and calls Rep. Amo's line of questioning "bullshit," which prompts the Republican committee chair to tell him to "watch your language"

[Covie @covie_93]

The media needs to start calling them out on their bullshit.

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts.

I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me:

There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States.

The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud.

This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal:

A presidential commission under President Donald Trump.

The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena.

Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government.

State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud.

Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems.

Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud.

Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud.

What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud?

Ask The Heritage Foundation.

For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.”

The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.”

It covers elections going back nearly fifty years.

That’s billions and billions of American votes.

Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is:

1620.

That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things:

1. Some individuals commit election fraud.

2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA.

The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time.

It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that.

Stop trying to subvert our democracy.

Ken Paxton is such a criminal that his own lawyer endorsed Talarico. Rick Wilson lays out why Paxton is a bad candidate on MSNOW:

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated.

He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one.

He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers.

Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

@IAmDeplorable2 @JoJoFromJerz Just bc a ballot was sent to a voters residence doesn’t mean it’s automatically counted as a vote🤦‍♂��. For ballot to count it has to be filled out correctly, returned by a specific date AND VALIDATED. Never had an issue in the Mil as far as I have been in. I hope this helps✌️

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

This is fucking insane.

[Steven Rattner @SteveRattner]

Inflation has overtaken wages for the first time in 3 years.

That means Americans’ incomes are shrinking in real terms, largely because of the Iran war.

CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD

[The Intercept @theintercept]

One top military officer provided a plausible explanation, behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, The Intercept has learned. In the briefing, a high-ranking officer on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff stated that some of the people killed by the U.S. military may have been the victims of human trafficking.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: Fox News Just Spent 3 Straight Minutes Airing A Detailed Case For Corruption Inside The Trump Administration.

Think about that.

This wasn’t MSNBC.

This wasn’t CNN.

This was Fox News.

Rep. Jamie Raskin walked viewers through what he says is a pattern of corruption, conflicts of interest, and abuse of power inside the administration.

And Fox aired the entire thing.

When even Fox can no longer avoid the conversation, it suggests the story has become too large to simply ignore.

[John Collins @Logically_JC]

This one hits hard.

[Michael T. Lester @MichaelTLester]

Trump's net worth: $3.9 billion when he took office in January 2025.

Trump's net worth today: $7.3 billion.

That's $3.4 billion in 14 months. While sitting in the Oval Office.

Where did it come from? He launched a memecoin three days before his inauguration. Trump-affiliated entities own 80% of the supply. At it's peak, that his stake was worth $26 billion on paper. Trading fees alone generated tens of millions in cash.

He controls Trump Media. The company earned $3.6 million in revenue last year. Its market cap has been in the billions. The gap between what the company earns and what it's worth exists for one reason: his name is on it.

During his first term, 20 foreign governments paid $7.8 million to his hotels and properties while he was making foreign policy decisions that affected every one of them. That's documented.

Six months after his first term ended, Saudi Arabia handed his son-in-law $2 billion for a private equity firm with no track record. Saudi Arabia's own screening panel objected. MBS personally overruled them.

Every other president since LBJ combined grew their wealth by tens of millions while in office.

Trump did $3.4 billion in 14 months.

Are you OK with that?

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

Trump today claimed he “didn’t promise anything” about NO NEW WARS.

So here’s a second compilation showing FIFTY times during his campaign where he PROMISED exactly that.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You don’t get to decide to “move on” from the Epstein Files or from following the congressional law. That decision can only be made by the American people and Congress.

You will be disbarred. The files will eventually be released.

November is coming.
