KASPAROV: We’ve had 20 sanctions packages. How come Russian missiles that hitting Ukrainians and killing people every day are still mostly built with parts and components from sanctions list? How many criminal cases have been opened against sanctions violators? Practically none.

Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.

That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/

Trump issued a full, unconditional pardon to former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his former chief of staff, Cade Cothren. They were convicted of fraud, bribery, theft, conspiracy, and sentenced to federal prison. https://t.co/xLad3PTCBx

The Trump administration wants you to believe Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund is dead. It’s not. The Acting AG didn’t kill it. A judge didn’t kill it. The plan to use your taxpayer money to pay Capitol rioters is still very much alive.

Things your legal department has to do when you are a propaganda outlet peddling lies for a corrupt regime nonstop… Fox is poison…

The closure of @USAID by 20-something DOGE bros (who probably thought "screwworm" was a hilarious joke) will haunt us for years to come.

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence has never even received an intelligence briefing before this Thursday.

For context, the White House janitorial staff held a higher security clearance than the new Intelligence Director.

This is DANGEROUS.

Literally as the Republican House cut these food benefits, Republican Senators were eating lobster for lunch.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

[John Garamendi @RepGaramendi]

I introduced an amendment requiring a report on Trump's National Guard deployments for his mass deportation agenda.

The CBO reported that these deployments cost Americans $589 million.

House Republicans blocked it. Apparently, they don't want to know how much it costs.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

Pam Bondi should have had to testify under oath and videotaped, but Republicans refused. Now the transcript is clear: Bondi mentioned Tood Blanche 100 times. It’s time to talk to Blanche!

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

What Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche have done is criminal. They have broken the law.

An Epstein survivor, at a House Oversight press conference last week.

Her charge: not one investigative lead pursued from 3.5 million files on the largest US sex trafficking ring.

The US has still not issued for Iran's team to come to the World Cup

The World Cup kickoff is a week away

This is unsportsmanlike and frankly disgraceful behavior for a nation hosting the World Cup

[ProPublica @propublica]

Following ProPublica’s investigation, a number of lawmakers have criticized a deal between the Trump administration and a company linked to Donald Trump Jr. One called it “corruption to the highest degree.”

Pulte referred Lisa Cook and Letitia James for criminal prosecution over mortgage document errors. Scott Bessent committed the same errors. No referral. No investigation. Bessent is in the cabinet.

Same paperwork. Three people. Three completely different outcomes based entirely on who they are to Donald Trump.

That is the man now running 18 intelligence agencies. The willingness to weaponize regulatory authority selectively wasn't a disqualification. It was the job interview.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The Trump Administration is walking back the $1.8 billion January 6 slush fund. But you know what they aren’t walking back? The part of that same settlement that gives Trump, his companies, and his family absolute immunity from IRS audits.

Every president since Nixon has been required to submit to an IRS audit. That is the law. Trump used his own Justice Department to exempt himself from it, and according to public reporting, that exemption could save him more than $100 million personally. Worth remembering: Trump has paid zero federal income taxes in at least 10 separate years.

We kept the pressure on Trump until he backed down from his slush fund. We are not stopping there.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at USDA helps prevent threats like screwworm from ever reaching US livestock.

In 2025, it lost 1,300 employees due to cuts and firings.

That’s the thing about prevention: you don’t notice it when it works, only when it is gone.

[GOP Ls @GOP__Ls]

🚨 Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of smuggling more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump gave him a full pardon.

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

Something underreported: In their reconciliation bill, Republicans are forgoing the normal oversight and restrictions on ICE/CBP funding.

For instance, normally there’s a prohibition on shackling pregnant women. But not for this new money they’re providing. (1/3)

[Jake Offenhartz @jangelooff]

On Saturday, while covering a protest at Delaney Hall for the AP, Angelina Katsanis' camera bag went missing.

Inside was $10K worth of gear, her biz cards and an Airtag -- which soon began to ping from home of a NJ sergeant. He's now facing charges.
