I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:

- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval

58 years ago today, The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper.

5 months later, The Carol Burnett Show did a tribute with Carol, Gwen Verdon, Bobbie Gentry and Phyllis Diller.

Yes!

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law:

- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP
- Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

The Trump administration just sent the Secret Service to my house for posting "8647" on social media. They are literally redefining phrase as threats just so they can go after their political opponents.

A Member of Congress —who was at the facility today with the Newark mayor — told Alicia Menendez on air tonight that the Newark mayor was *invited* into the detention facility. And then when he left, ICE arrested him for trespass!

We are not under invasion.

There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.

Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

The Supreme Court is about to let religion ruin public education Two recent cases suggest that the era of secular schools is coming to an end.

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

Senator Angus King (I-ME) reaching to history to recall Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) and her 1950 stand against what she called "Republican Fascists." (King does not hold Chase's seat; Senator Susan Collins (R) does.)

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Exclusive | Former Trump Official Targeted With Government Probe Vows to Fight Chris Krebs, the top cybersecurity official in Trump’s first term, resigned from his private-sector job

"Krebs said he understood why some have kept a low profile and tried not to further anger the president.

But he said he disagreed with that approach. 'I don’t think this lay-low-and-hope-this-blows-over approach is the right one for the moment we’re in,' he said..."

Omg

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday!

Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

This!

When we all howl together we can make great things happen 🐺🐺🐺

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

I kind of want to go
