Trump: "We were a little bit threatened by Russia recently, and I sent a submarine, nuclear submarine. The most lethal weapon ever made. Number one, you can't detect it."

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

Brian Glenn: President Zelenskyy, you look fabulous in that suit

Zelenskyy: You are in the same suit. I changed, you did not.

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

Yes, Yes and YES.

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.

Adorable little kitty… 🥰

Pentagon thrown into confusion over think tank ban The department’s decision not to allow employees to participate in certain events carries bigger repercussions than missed attendance.

Defense Department officials fear that new rules banning employees from participating at think tank and research events — a key way the Pentagon delivers its message and solicits feedback — will leave the military muzzled and further isolated from allies.

Project 2025 is gutting medical funding that helped Russell Vought's own kid Its architect's daughter has cystic fibrosis—and benefits from a "miracle drug" backed by an agency he's attacking.

Russell Vought claimed on CNN this weekend that NIH funding is corrupt.

As @juliametraux.bsky.social reported this February, his family has directly benefited from the NIH.

ICE Agents Invade a Manhattan Little League Field Youman Wilder has coached local kids for twenty-one years—including four who have gone pro. When masked agents tried to interrogate his players, he told them, “You don’t have more rights than they do....

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Stunning! Above and below in Alaska.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

True story bro.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!

The media has to STOP giving trump credit for "taking questions" if he's not answering any of them truthfully.

Anyone can take a billion questions and answer them in the bullshit lying way he does with ZERO pushback.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that Jim Acosta was one of the few watchable journalists on CNN before they let him go, and MSNBC should prioritize hiring him to replace Andrea Mitchell or Katy Tur.

Or BOTH.

Social Security Fairness Act clears Senate procedural hurdle, on path for final passage In a final lame-duck push, the Senate will attempt to pass legislation aimed at providing full Social Security benefits to millions of Americans this week.

The legislation has already passed the House. Once it finally passes the Senate, it will head to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature. Along with government funding, this will be one of the last major pieces of legislation that Biden signs into law.

S. Carolina Intros Bill to Execute Women Who Seek An Abortion Here's what's in the bill, why it is so dangerous, and the meaningful steps you can take to fight back, support women's health, and help block this bill from becoming law

This bill, if passed into law, would dramatically *increase* the incidence of rape and other forms of sexual assault in South Carolina. Why? Because the perpetrators would be virtually guaranteed that their victims would never report the rapes.

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter
