Given all the ways in which the ultra-wealthy have curried favor with Trump, it's no surprise that his administration's evisceration of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has advantaged Marc Andreessen and other venture capitalists in Silicon Valley.

Love this!! Beautifully done!

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.

Democrats swept all 13.

That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).

They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

Gov. JB Pritzker says an Indiana remap might force Illinois to act as he celebrates Democratic wins Tuesday Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker credited Democratic successes in Tuesday’s elections across the country to candidates’ focus on affordability and voters pushing back on Republican President D…

Interesting move.

Indiana Rs clearly don't want to redistrict.

Illinois Ds clearly don't want to redistrict.

Now JB Pritzker is trying to give both an out, tying IL maps to neighboring IN maps, hoping to scare them off and give himself cover in the process.

This is the 16th strike of its kind this year — and at least 66 people are dead because of the government’s rash actions.

These extrajudicial strikes are illegal under both international and domestic law.

Trump on Truth Social: The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term. Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.

I'm confused about the video clips Trump is pushing out on Truth Social and YouTube right now.

They're all shorter clips on various topics, but I'm not sure where they were shot or why they were done in this style behind a podium talking directly to camera.

Going into Supreme Court arguments over President Donald Trump's tariffs on Wednesday, it was genuinely difficult to guess how the justices would rule. Within minutes, that suspense vanished. The hearing was a bloodbath for the Trump administration: Six justices lined up to bash the Justice Department's defense of the tariffs, barely disguising their annoyance with the government's barrage of blustery nonsense. At the halfway point, it would've saved everyone time had the court just huddled, announced its decision from the bench, and recessed early for lunch. Trump's signature trade policy-which he expected to raise trillions of dollars for him to use as he wished-looks dead on arrival at SCOTUS. We have spent ten months waiting to see if, and when, this court would set a limit on Trump's power. Perhaps we should've guessed that its extraordinary deference to this president could be outweighed only by its hatred of taxes.

My take on today’s tariff arguments at the Supreme Court. Short version: LOL slate.com/news-and-pol...
