NARRATOR: Trump, in fact, hurt the farmers.

🚨BOMBSHELL: Sen. Jacky Rosen reveals RFK Jr is cancelling hundreds of millions in pediatric research AT THE SAME TIME Trump’s budget kicks millions off healthcare:

“40% of Medicaid enrollees are kids…what the hell is going on?”

You can’t be “Pro-life” and let kids die!!

Most likely, Trump's own staff tripped a safety switch. https://t.co/k3HXx4ASvu

The mad king does what he wants— openly weaponizing the DOJ and more broadly turning his administration’s policies into a cash cow for his family and friends. https://t.co/qQMCEdKLNN

[HuffPost Politics @HuffPostPol]

The Trump administration’s plans to fire thousands of federal workers in the event of a government shutdown is akin to “mafia-style blackmail,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said. https://t.co/JcrcyFRHfZ

🧑‍🌾 JUST NOW: Trump gaslights struggling farmers getting crushed by his trade war, blames Biden

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

WATCH: “The president and DOJ just deleted the study from the website.”

@jwilliamj8 & @thejaampod crew note Trump’s DOJ conspicuously deleted a study that shows far-right extremist violence is actually far more prevalent. (Backed up by CATO, Grok, etc)

Trump hands TikTok to his right-wing billionaire allies.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

The Trump administration leaked @RepSherrill’s military records & personal info.

It's not only a violation of privacy–it's against the law.

Trump is weaponizing the government against his political opponents.

Today it's someone else, tomorrow it could be you.

CUBAN ON KIMMEL: “Nexstar & Sinclair don’t know they’re digging their own grave.”

@mcuban tells @Kanew caving to government censorship means what airs on broadcast TV will suffer, hurting them in ways they don’t yet realize.

She knows better, but is afraid to say the truth out loud.

[HuffPost Politics @HuffPostPol]

Noem was careful with her words while talking about Wednesday's shooting at a Dallas ICE facility during an appearance on CNN. https://t.co/kgpQTs2Fw8

[Joe McLean @jwmclean]

The Trump regime is now officially operating as a dictatorship. And he's getting away with it, thanks to the MAGA Supreme Court. https://t.co/tYcR1m5pNX

[Joe McLean @jwmclean]

Either Trump is lying, or he really believes this BS about Tylenol. My question is, "Which is worse, lying or deliberate ignorance?" https://t.co/mBYb1cjZg2

[The Daily Beast @thedailybeast]

Trump’s State Department nominee deleted thousands of social media posts from his account, including tweets saying there was no such thing as “peaceful coexistence” with Democrats.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

NEW: For decades, the DOJ has relied on the Voting Rights Act to protect voters of color from racial gerrymanders.

Yesterday, it broke from tradition, urging the Supreme Court to decimate much of what’s left of the landmark law. Jim Saksa breaks it down:

[Joe McLean @jwmclean]

Yes, voters care about Freedom of Speech. And they're waking up to Trump's threats to our Democracy. https://t.co/wdxUa2NAdF

[The Daily Beast @thedailybeast]

The president receives poor feedback when his own voters are asked “first word that comes to mind” question.

[Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews]

So this is funny. TikTok just said they limited my audience for a video because it contained “violence and gore.” It’s a clip from Fox News. It does not contain violence or gore just images of people protesting. I’m appealing the decision.

[Katherine Faulders @KFaulders]

Earlier this week, prosecutors presented Lindsey Halligan -- Trump’s former personal attorney whom he appointed to lead EDVA -- with a detailed memo recommending that she decline to bring perjury and obstruction charges against Comey.
