Trump and Republicans are going to want taxpayers to pay a fortune so Trump can have more toys to kill people. This is where Dens can make a stand just like they did with DHS and ICE.

Question to Bill Clinton: Do you agree Trump should answer questions from this committee about Epstein?

Markwayne Mullin was shook by the end of this CNN interview with Kasie Hunt. He's increasingly serving as a Trump spokesperson on TV and it's not going well.

This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.

White House's "War Powers Report" to Congress for attack on Iran.⬇️

Two conspicuous absences:

1. The word "imminent" appears nowhere. There is thus no justification in the Report for proceeding without prior congressional authorization.

2. No reference to wellbeing/protection of Iranian people.

Football players will pay no taxes in Mississippi on their licensing deals, which can sometimes be very lucrative in the millions. Teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers - they still have to pay taxes on their income.

BREAKING: I just spoke to President Trump he said you’ll find soon what the retaliation will be for the attack on the U.S. embassy in Riyadh and for the U.S. service members killed. 

He also told me he doesn’t think boots on the ground will be necessary.

notable that Trump's media strategy to sell this war is doing bespoke phone conversations with individual reporters instead of answering questions publicly

There are 600 stories like this and every one of these people will be throne-sniffing to the point of asphyxia again in a week. We’ve been over this 1,000 times. There’s no point.

One thing the right has always disliked about Clinton is that she take governance seriously, however imperfectly that manifests. I’m not sure that difference in approach has ever been more obvious.

Accusing Jamelle Bouie of "exaggerated nastiness" and "hateful, uncharitable commentary" is absolutely insane.

It makes perfect sense when you understand that his relationship to Bouie is that of an Elvis impersonator coming face to face with Elvis

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.

We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.

kind of astounding to consider that Trump won the 2024 election to a significant extent because Biden's support for Israel became so politically toxic, then he decided a good governing strategy would be to become full on a client state of Israel

OMG! Trump DOJ Lawyer HELD IN CONTEMPT After MAJOR VIOLATION
YouTube video by Katie Phang OMG! Trump DOJ Lawyer HELD IN CONTEMPT After MAJOR VIOLATION

For the first time in Trump Regime 2.0, a federal judge has held a DOJ lawyer in contempt of court for violating her orders.

My thoughts on why this should be recognized for its significance as the first step towards possibly throwing people in jail for noncompliance.
