I feel compelled to post this banger of a clip showing Barbara Walters humiliate trump to his face, as a reminder to reporters: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT HIM CALLING YOU "DUMMY."

This is outstanding. 👏👏👏

Please. Stop what you are doing, and watch this.

Standing in love and solidarity with @Justinjpearson and all of our TN family doing all they can to fight for truth and democracy.

🔥🇺🇸MAJOR BREAKING: Tennessee just passed a new congressional map breaking up the state’s only majority-Black district.

State Rep. Justin Pearson on the floor:

“These maps are racist tools of white supremacy at the behest of the most powerful white supremacist, Donald J. Trump.”

Louisiana cancelled an ongoing election to do it.

Florida signed new maps to flip 4 seats.

Tennessee just broke up the only majority-Black district in the state.

This is a coordinated national campaign to erase Black political power.

Funny AI video mocks Donald Trump's Jesus picture which he later claimed to be associated with his feelings to be a doctor who heals the world.

NEW: If you paid federal taxes for 2025, you likely paid $4,049(!) for Pentagon contractors, military personnel, nuclear weapons, aid to foreign militaries, and last year’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear energy facilities.

Thune says the WH "has demonstrated some flexibility" on rolling back some actions Trump has taken during shutdown.

Thune cites furloughed + unpaid government workers as examples.

"[The WH] has done some things which I think could be eliminated if the Dems vote to open"

Treasury RIF news: Staff at the CDFI Fund were told this afternoon that *all* employees will be RIFed, according to sources familiar.

The CDFI Fund is a bipartisan darling for community development with supporters like Sens Crapo (R-Ida.) and Warner (D-Va.).

IPS policy expert @karendolan remembers David Elliot, whose compassion and insightful storytelling had the rare ability to inspire hope in the fights to end poverty, capital punishment, and injustice everywhere. https://t.co/ht3q59dMAA

The Administration acknowledged that it will stop the survey that measures food insecurity, just as tariffs push up food prices and the deep cuts to food assistance enacted in July start to take effect. Congress must intervene to save these vital data. https://t.co/PHOMcirJGu

MEMPHIS — “WE SAY NO! We didn’t wake up with this problem, it was systematically created (by Lee, Trump, etc.)”

Rep. @Justinjpearson calls out “some in positions of power bending a knee and kissing the ring” as Trump & Lee send the military — after decades of underinvestment.

@Sadie_NC Old people never heard of voice to text it seems.

[Navigator Research @NavigatorSurvey]

MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans are split on who to blame for a shutdown:

➡️61% of MAGA Republicans would blame Democrats in Congress vs. just 33% of non-MAGA Republicans
➡️A plurality of non-MAGA Republicans say they'd blame both parties in Congress equally

Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “He’s a punk. He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. A bullshit artist. A mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Doesn’t do his homework. Doesn’t care. Doesn’t pay his taxes. He’s an idiot. He’s a national disaster. He’s an embarrassment to this country.”

Chicago makes it clear that ICE is not welcome in their city‼️ In one of the biggest protests in the cities history, Chicagoans took to the streets to push back and raise their voices‼️

RFK Jr is not only a partial-brained idiot opportunist who openly spews lies, he’s sniveling and whining before congress right now. Gross.

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

RFK Jr. must resign.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Senator Jon Ossoff just became the first Senator to call on RFK Jr. to resign. This is the energy we need right now.

[Chuck Marr @ChuckCBPP]

It is critical that after this House GOP misstep that the Congress and Trump Administration return to policy sanity on the IRS. It provides a basic and fundamental function. It needs to be restored, not dismantled.
