TRUMP: I got the highest in the history of TX, a record that won't be beat unless I run again

CNBC: Are you going to run again?

T: Probably not. I'd like to. I have the best poll numbers I ever had.


C: Among Republicans


T: No. I'm talking about generally.


C: Polls have you down in the 30s

A very clear lesson for Americans who oppose Trump and think the solution was "what if we just leaned into the whole xenophobia culture war thing to win back the Trumpists."

It... does not work.

Absolutely NOTHING American about those jeans!!!!!

VARNEY: You've suggested that Medicaid people, if they got a work requirement under the new rules, they should go work on farms. Are you sticking with that?

BROOKE ROLLINS: Here's the deal -- when in America did we lose the concept of the dignity of work? So yes.

Almost 90% Of Americans Are Worried About The Cost Of Groceries The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

DHS says Jose’s a dangerous criminal. So where’s the warrant?

ICE tried to snatch him outside his home. No warning, no paperwork. Jose barely made it inside before they started kicking his door.

DHS says he’s got a violent record. But local court records say those charges were dismissed.

Here are all the names Oversight Chair James Comer just subpoenaed for testimony related to Epstein.

One name not subpoenaed: Ghislaine Maxwell.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.

The more I think about it, the world collectively needs to elect more Claudia Sheinbaums. A PhD in energy engineering is exactly the type of people we need in charge handling climate change, which will be the greatest threat in the future, superceding all others.

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker

These people are perpetually in search of victimhood, creating their own alternate reality with phantom persecutors around every corner.

oh he's losing it, losing it

ICE is about to go on a recruitment ad blitz, including on Hulu, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime www.404media.co/ice-is-about...

GOP Rep. Mike Flood at a town hall: “Do you think 28-year-olds who can work but won’t should get free healthcare?”

The crowd didn’t hesitate: “YESSSSSSSSSS!”

This is fucked up

Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.

New Naked Gun movie: Very stupid, has a sentence so stupid in it I said "what?" out loud without fully knowing I was verbalizing anything, less than 90 minutes, AKA a fucking delight. Mostly posting about it because I hope they make more zero-stakes comedies like this.

Gen X: The Only Generation of American Women to Live With Rights My name is Jess and I was a high school Literature teacher for 16 years until I decided to run as a Democrat in a rural, red district in Missouri. I bring you news and politics from Missouri and beyon...

I will turn 50 this September. I was born in 1975, and I represent the only generation of American women born with full rights that have been lost in the same lifetime.

Seriously, we need to form a Blue State federation with shared resources (economic, tech, health, information, legal) even with a shadow cabinet of sorts. Short of secession (if it comes to that), call it a republic-preserving democracy safety-net.

Hochul: "This is a war. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off and I say, bring it on."

Senior Administration official re Maxwell transfer: “Any false assertion this individual was given preferential treatment is absurd. Prisoners are routinely moved in some instances due to death threats, and significant safety and danger concerns.”

Got it.

What about true assertions?

The CBO’s final dynamic score:

“.. Because the bill’s red ink is not offset by more spending cuts or new revenue, CBO found, the legislation will drive up interest rates.”

All major Las Vegas Strip casinos are now unionized in historic labor victory The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip

This is a pretty big deal. Congrats to these workers for getting their rights in an increasingly hostile world for it.

These are the victim impact statements submitted at Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing.

It's the official DOJ document.

“They had been abusing young females for many, many, many years. This is the longest-running sex trafficking scheme in history that I've ever come across."

Under the Trump administration, states and/or cities must certify they will not circumvent “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies"—or risk losing access to disaster relief funds.

Trump’s condition will affect $1.9B that is supposed to be distributed by FEMA.

Voters should choose their politicians.

Politicians shouldn’t pick their voters.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she's looking to redraw the state's legislative lines in response to the Texas gerrymander — even going so far as to suggest amending the state constitution to move up the timeline.

Before you see a hundred or so posts saying that Texas has issued arrest warrants for the absent Dem legislators, you should be aware that they are civil warrants issued by the House that are not effective outside the state
