A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

You do PR for liars, thugs and traitors. Embarrassing stuff

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Have they found their ideal line combos? Think this is their A lineup

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Perfect natural experiment. If Biden and Congress had treated the Jan 6th insurrection like the treason it was and jailed the people behind it, Trump’s power would have shriveled on the vine.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.

YouTube video by MS NOW Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.

There must be consequences.

Chariot ran himself out of position to make a hit- that one on 8

The Republican party has embraced full-on fascism while the Democratic party has staked out a position on immigration that is slightly different from mine. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid.

Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago.

masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets.

this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Bondi reportedly put 1,000 people in 24-hour shifts for two weeks in March to review the Epstein files. She made them flag mentions of Trump.

And then ...

She decided she couldn't release anything. 😯

If you ever see John Roberts in person and don’t tell him to go fuck himself, you’ll regret it forever.

The Roberts Court ended its term by refusing to enforce the 14A's birthright citizenship guarantee and signaling its eagerness to distort the 14A's Equal Protection Clause to snuff out what remains of the Voting Rights Act's enforcement of the 15th Amendment's promise.

These are neoconfederates.

The sooner you catch up w Jamelle on this stuff, the better.

If you're still doing "they can't do that it's unconstitutional" in 2025, come on

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.

If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.

Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Every single picture of Peter Thiel makes him look like the guy in a zombie film who's hiding that he was bitten.

16 million Americans will lose their health care if Republicans pass Trump’s budget bill.

51,000+ people will die annually as a direct result.

Mitch McConnell says “they’ll get over it.”

He should look into the eyes of people who might die and tell them to “get over it.”

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

Why isn't the media focusing on the real driver behind Netanyahu's cruel attacks on Gaza killing 1000s of innocent citizens, especially women and children, and bombing Iran? It's to keep his theocratic, ultra- far right coalition together and prevent him going to jail on corruption charges
