@highbrow_nobrow @atrupar So the old everyone else was doing it excuse. It's not too surprising as people like him are still blaming Biden for what's going on with the economy. Over a year & a half later.

Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "If we have a big screwworm infestation—which we will not, we're on top of it..."

The screwworm has returned to the US after 60 years after Trump and DOGE eliminated a program to contain the flesh-eating parasite.

🚨 History has been made. The impeachment papers against John Roberts are officially filed. Don't let Congress sweep this under the rug—flood their offices with this letter instantly:

🚨 BREAKING: Bessent Couldn't Name The Case.

Asked what ongoing litigation prevents him from discussing Trump's audit status, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the matter was tied up in court.

Then Rep. Linda Sánchez asked a simple follow-up:

Which case?

He couldn't name it.

Sánchez pointed out that the only litigation she was aware of involved the $1.8 billion DOJ fund and said that case doesn't address presidential audit immunity.

That's what made the exchange awkward.

The administration says litigation prevents answers.

Congress wants to know which litigation.

I asked Senate Republicans who among them thought Trump’s slush fund was a good idea. None replied and silence filled the chamber.

I then offered Republicans a chance to shut it down by voting for my amendment.

They chose not to. They are simply too scared of crossing this corrupt president.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

If Republicans want to talk about fraud, let’s do it. Trump is responsible for:

✅Defrauding college students
✅Profiting off the presidency
✅Crypto scams
✅Corrupt foreign deals
✅Self-dealing government contracts
✅Shady real estate transactions
✅Pump & dump stock schemes
✅Pardons for political allies

Care to comment, @HouseGOP?

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”

Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.

Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.

He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”

Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.

Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.

That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.

So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…

It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.

[Joe @sdnativejoe]

@Sjacobs2020 @atrupar Could be that is why Trump has his red states along with his SCOTUS doing everything they can to make sure that Democrats do not win.

🚨 REPORT: Investigation reveals Trump officials have likely stolen over $220 million by giving government contracts to fake shell companies.

@kJSledder @magaFrommanyone @GregAbarth I know it's Trump and Paxton is his puppet. but seems there are those that defend the man that do not.

[Parwiz Hamidi _🇵🇸 @Palestine001_]

This is extremely shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this.

🇦🇺 filmmaker Juliet said: I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla.

They also used water torture and beatings.

A convicted January 6 insurrection has been hired by the Trump administration to work inside a Pentagon office that manages highly classified military operations. https://t.co/a0GcMW5M09

🚨THIS IS INFURIATING.

Watch how Republicans try to end Rep. Dean’s time almost THREE MINUTES EARLY when she starts asking Todd Blanche about Epstein.

Absolutely disgusting.

[Joe @sdnativejoe]

@FPWellman @LizbizVoteBlue We think over a third of people on it aren't legit because people are not using it? That has to be one of the stupidest statements made.

[Joe @sdnativejoe]

@chiky_handlr The funds might be quashed but he still says Trump gets to keep his total immunity for him, his kids and their businesses from any IRS investigation that could lead to prosecution from questionable creative bookkeeping.

[Ned Price @nedprice]

The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.

Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin just repeatedly refused to commit to following court orders from judges who rule that DHS is acting illegally.
