Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "They're trying to condition some of these generals to the idea that they should be using the U.S. military to enforce the political agenda of this president. It's not going to work."

All on you, Mikey. You own this shutdown.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Don’t you dare even think about selling us out. Wimps. You are so far out of touch with the party. Yes, you have free healthcare for life but we don’t!!

Because he knows both shooters were very likely “his guys”.

Thankfully he hired an excellent law firm who will hopefully cut through the BS and misinformation to learn the truth. There’s something very, very fishy with this situation and scrutiny is growing on what role our governor played in this. I don’t trust ICE to tell the truth.

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President. These Brutal New Polls Confirm It. As new national polls show Trump’s approval tanking, a leading analyst explains how the data shows that Trump is far more unpopular than is commonly acknowledged—and details why this matters for 2026.

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers:

38-54 (Quinnipiac)
39-60 (AP)
40-56 (Gallup)
41-58 (Reuters)
39-56 (Economist)

On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen:

Why do they all look like were inbred?!

How to Debunk Republicans’ Shutdown Talking Points Their main argument is about health care, and it shows how desperate they are to dodge blame when prices spike for millions of Americans.

There are a few good reasons to think Republicans are too confident about how the politics of a shutdown fight will turn out. And at the top of the list is a truly preposterous argument.

The latest edition of The Breakdown from @citizencohn.bsky.social:

The Bryson DeChambeau effect. The pumped up turd earned all of 1.5 points over 3 days. How macho.

Yes, that was the good ol’ days of faux GOP outrage.

And Bryson DeChambeau who cared more about performative “macho” theatrics than focusing on putting the small white ball into the hole. And he only earned 1.5 points.

This made me smile. Keystone cops. They should probably drink less beer.

The Bryson DeChambeau effect. And he only won 1.5 points.

We deserve that. 😔

Does a day go by when he doesn’t break the law?!

THIS NEEDS NATIONAL ATTENTION NOW! Press conference at 3P CT.

The pedo President is the king of the double jerk-off

As an egomaniacal sociopath he’s high on power. Stronger than any drug he’s consumed.

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me.

He has no shame 🤢🤬

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

He went out to clarify: basically, if other Americans choose to give the house to the Democrats, it is the responsibility of Texas Republicans to conjure up enough seats to make sure that doesn’t happen

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.

The White House has instructed NASA to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

I’m Not panicking. I’m Outraged. Read more here.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "They've talked about these fines, they've talked about trying to expel us from office... We're not too concerned about the personal or political costs. This is a lot bigger than us. This is about whether or not we will have free and fair elections in 2026."
