"For anyone who watched Trumpโ€™s edited 60 Minutes interview, hereโ€™s the fact check from Mehdi Hasan. For the most part, interviewer Norah Oโ€™Donnell let him go unchallengedโ€”thanks to the new CBS leadership under Bari Weiss."

Yes. It's sad that public service is mostly dead and profiteering has taken its place.

1. Blindly tweeting to the MAGAverse is not a validation of
โ€œI will not be distractedโ€

2. We donโ€™t care about Alexis

3. We do are about Patel using expensive government aircraft to visit his girlfriend

4. We care about an FBI director who takes undue credit based on incomplete information

I think this unwarranted architecture is an enrichment scheme on two fronts: hide the costs and donors with no accountability AND- when he's damaged the White House beyond repair- move operations to Mara Lago, then bill the taxpayer for use of all the rooms. Calling it now

ICE Barbie Says Immigrants Are Too Dumb to Drive Semitrucks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the inane claim while bragging about arresting immigrant truck drivers.

Yet in 2010, Noemโ€”then a congressional candidateโ€”had โ€œ20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driverโ€™s license.โ€ She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If youโ€™re angry about โ€œyour moneyโ€ feeding people but not angry itโ€™s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

Youโ€™re doing their dirty work.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

I left the Church as a teen, but part of me will always be Catholic. Pope Leo gives me hope. He is appearing to be the counterpoint leader we need in these times.

Iowan here. It's been horrible watching my state- once first in education- sink into a marooned third world country. Here's the kicker: in 2024, my unscientific poll of HARRIS yard signs found way more, even in counties Trump took in 2016 and 2020. I believe the Ann Selzer poll was right.

My local No Kings rally was very representative of my town: a mix of all ages, diverse, signs that listed different issues. The only common value wasn't age; it was how well the protestors treated each other. Even the few counter-protestors who drove in circles got nothing more than rolled eyes.

The White House starts demolishing part of the East Wing to build Trump's ballroom Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing faรงade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, ...

Of course, the trumpians lied about not desecrating the original White House.

Of course, they're lying about who's paying for the golden Saddam Room as well.

It's I L L E G A L. . . . illegal . . . but the MAGA Congress wilted for this madman.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

Itโ€™s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

Itโ€™s not his house! WTF.
