If your case is so weak the country will “die” unless the Court takes your side, maybe the real threat isn’t the Court. Pressuring SCOTUS with “life or death” rhetoric is a textbook warning indicator in our assessment of accelerating authoritarian dynamics.

HOSTIN: You don't believe in QAnon anymore? You've changed?

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, I haven't changed. I was a victim just like you were of media lies and stuff you read on social media

ICE ADMITTED they had mistakenly yanked them as they drove to school BUT CONTINUED TO HOLD THEM!

NBC News: Voters in Maine approved a ballot measure that will impose a red flag law across the state — allowing people to petition courts to temporarily confiscate their family members' firearms in certain cases.

The woman in this video had just had kidney surgery.

Reporter: “The president posted on True Social that the voting underway in California is ‘rigged.’ What evidence does he have of that?”

Leavitt: “There’s fraud in California’s elections. It’s just a fact.”

Reporter: “What’s the evidence of that, though?”

Leavitt: “It is just a fact.”

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

We’re going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar.

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you.

We can’t allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases.

That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.

They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

Karoline Leavitt, 28, posted photoshopped pictures of her husband, Nicholas Riccio, 60. “The airbrushing of your husband’s face to make him appear younger was the trick,” one Instagram user wrote.

COLLINS: Should the president know who he's pardoning?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: I don't know anything about this one. That's the first time I've seen that.

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

Yep. He's had a stroke, folks.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

New polling reveals 61% of voters think Trump has made the economy worse:

"It seems we've finally come upon something that most Americans agree upon, and that is a central theme of Trump's winning message a year ago, 'I will bring costs down,' just simply has not happened."

A Bloody Prison Beating Was Caught on Video. No Guards Were Punished. A New York prisoner accused corrections officers of assault and sexual abuse. State officials deemed his claims unfounded despite footage of the encounter.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

We could fund over four months of SNAP benefits with the $40 billion Argentina received.

*The president is all powerful and can fire civil servants, impound spending, redirect money and deploy troops despite numerous constitutional and legal restrictions but he can't spend emergency money for food stamps set aside specifically for shutdowns* is all-time amazing messaging.
