ABSOLUTELY. She didn't let him lie. She didn't let him bully. She stood her ground. When he couldn't take the heat and started to leave, she REFUSED to let him go without calling him out for abandoning his duty to answer to the American people.

EVERY reporter should see this, and take notes!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

No, Mr. President. The 2020 election that you lost was not "rigged" or "dirty," handing out $1.776 billion to violent insurrectionists is not a "good idea" & reporters who ask questions about your bogus claims are not "crooked."

You are a president, not a dictator. Act like it.

THIS ⬇️ is why we have a free press. To all our journalists out there—and especially our women journalists (we see you!)—don’t stop asking the hard questions! 💅

They’re charging James Comey for posting “8647” on his Instagram, saying it’s a threat.

Do you know how stupid this is?

I worked in food service.

When we “86’d” someone, that meant “throw them out.” Not KILL the customer.

BREAKING: Stunning new polling reveals that Donald Trump’s approval rating on handling the economy is the lowest of any President in American history at this point in their term. Make sure every American sees this.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance.

You have to see this.

@atrupar I paid 3.29 in 2024 in Washington with the highest gas taxes in the country. It’s 5.89 now. Thanks bud, but I don’t think recovering is in the cards any time soon

Trump said today: "The Pope made a statement. He says, Iran can have a nuclear weapon."

Never happened, as @KaitlanCollins told Trump. In reality, the Pope has unequivocally denounced nuclear weapons and called for the whole world to relinquish them: https://t.co/Dtai7VLQ3Z

The most f*cked up aspect of this is the "DoorDash grandma" t-shirt she's wearing, and the implications of this: I checked and this is a pre-organized PR stunt between DoorDash and the White House (they boast about it on their website: https://t.co/AHDUwKQfgj).

The lady - Sharon Simmons, "a grandmother of ten" who has "completed more than 14,000 deliveries" - isn't even from DC, they brought her over from Arkansas as a prop for this.

Think about just how uniquely rotten things need to be in order for this to happen.

She is literally a grandmother relying on gig work because she can't afford healthcare for her husband's stage-3 cancer. She doesn't even get paid a living wage and needs to rely on tips. And as an "independent contractor," she gets no benefits, no healthcare, no retirement.

Which means she is an almost perfect illustration of the failure of the American social contract on almost every level: healthcare, labor rights, retirement, wages, etc. Any decent human being looking at her story - let alone policymakers - should feel only one thing: shame.

Yet DoorDash and the White House looked at this woman and saw a photo op. They flew her from Arkansas, branded her "DoorDash grandma" and used her as a mascot for a tax tweak - no tax on tips - that wouldn't even begin to cover her husband's chemo sessions.

Watching the actual video of her "delivery" to Trump (https://t.co/xzNDJq71Jx) is almost unreal. Trump opens up by saying, smiling at the camera, "who says it looks staged? It doesn't." They immediately proceed to do a joint press conference to a bunch of journalists who were conveniently standing right there.

None of the questions that follow during the next 15 minutes are related to Simmons' situation who just stands there. Journalists, the President, and cameras all obsessing over culture wars and the actual war in Iran, while the walking embodiment of the country's deepest structural failures - healthcare, labor, retirement - stands silently in a corporate t-shirt, unmentioned and too uncomfortable to confront.

🔥JUST IN: Pope Leo responds to Trumps attacks against him.

“I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the Church is here to do. We are not politicians.”

I STAND WITH POPE LEO 🔥

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Tucker Carlson: "It is vile on every level. It begins with a promise to use the US military, our military, to destroy civilian infrastructure in another country, which is to say, to commit a war crime, a moral crime against the people of the country. Those people who are in direct contact with the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, because this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out.'"

President Zelenskyy tells Trump in no uncertain terms to fuck off, that he refuses to cede Ukraine territory to Russia.

“Trump wants a quick end to the war and ‘quick’ means at someone’s expense. I won’t accept peace at Ukraine’s expense.”

GOP Senator Kennedy admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown: "He said said 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said 'No deal.'"

Heads up! Maintenance crews are crack sealing on EB I-90 between the Spokane/Lincoln County line, and the SR 902/Salnave Road interchange. Expect mobile right lane closures and slight delay. Help keep our crews safe! Prepare to slow down and move over.

Trump’s former lawyer Ty Cobb just unloaded on his ex-boss after Trump celebrated the death of Robert Mueller:

“He is a demented narcissist, rules the country in a very authoritarian manner with the assistance of a cowardly cabinet…”
